I wish.

The eyebrows are hypnotizing me...can't...look...away....

Is it just me, or does he look like he's got a dip?

Why does horrible things done to your characters seem to mainly be LI choices? be creative people!

I came here for more ideas, but people aren't creative enough yet to send their character through the real hell spirals. A challenge? yes!

 

Although Hawke was a giant walking talking bad luck magnet considering what happens to them and their entire family before you even get to LI's.. probably why it's my favourite DA character.

I tend to not torture my pcs in game, mostly because I can do it so much more eloquently in fic...

 

But all it does is you get to see other stuff we goofballs who have to be nice to our characters or we break down in sobbing messes don't

[GoldenGail3]

You ARE hard =).

Meh, my Canon is all unicorns and ponies, so my other worlds are to make up for how fine and dandy my Canon Is.

[sniper_arrow]

To my characters, sometimes.

 

To everyone else, definitely. Especially when I do my Darkest Timeline playthrough to all 3 games.

[vertigomez]

Bit of both. I tend to like bittersweet endings more than unequivocally happy or sad ones.

I did have one Dalish Warden who was so devastated by her conscription and the loss of Tamlen that she threw herself on the Archdemon with abandon. That was pretty damn sad. She even spared Loghain because in her mind, becoming a Grey Warden was the worst punishment imaginable.

My Brosca was happy, though. He went from being a nobody to being a Paragon, his sister wound up marrying the King of Orzammar and being rich and happy, and he felt like he finally had a purpose in life. No sad endings there.

My Hawke and Inquisitor apparently have estates in Kirkwall and are still with the loves of their lives, so despite all the horrible crap that's happened to them over the years I think they're doing alright.

Not typically in-game, no, and I usually play goody-goody two-shoes characters too, so...

 

But I almost killed my guy in a fanfic and happily write a lot of angst for him. Does that count?

[Dai Grepher]

I almost went with the storyline of my male human mage losing Cassandra to the Sunburst Throne, but I suspected there wouldn't be a heart-wrenching scene about it anyway, so it wouldn't even really matter from a roleplay perspective. Plus, my Inquisitor honestly believed that Vivienne was the Divine Thedas needed. He wanted Vivienne as Divine, and he wanted Cassandra with him. So that's what he went with.

 

So no, I don't think I did anything negative against my Inquisitor at any point during the game. I could have made him drink from the Well, but again, no real consequences means it isn't really worth it. So I went with what my Inquisitor would do, which was let Morrigan be the fool.

 

On my female elf mage playthrough, I will probably let a bunch of bad stuff happen to her.

[sylvanaerie]

Nah, I can't be mean to my pixel people.  I want them to be as happy as I can make them.  There's misery enough in each of their stories without me adding to it for more angst/dramaz.

[CoM Solaufein]

I had one of my Inkys romance Blackwall. Thankfully I had other saved games that I reverted back to so I could pretend that never happened.

I like doing anything and everything to have a variety of experiences. A lot of times that means tragedy. My favorite RP choice for Redcliffe was to kill Connor because it's just so awful and tragic.

Making Isolde do it gains you extra points in bastardry.

I really wish there was more consequence to that choice. Going to the circle for mages should have had a downside because as it was it ended up being an easy out. The choice should have been to kill Connor, kill Isolde, or go get mages and some thing bad happens in Redcliffe while you are gone (Connor runs wild and kills the rest of the villagers, resulting in you fight the final battle without Redcliffe forces?).

Wait, what's the downside in killing Isolde?

 

But yeah, I just RP the choices instead of using meta knowledge.

[BraveVesperia]

Nah, I usually end up doing the depressing stuff by accident - Alistair doing the US, Bethany dying in the deep roads, Isabela running off, Fenris/Merrill betraying me, romancing Anders, getting clan Lavellan killed, Bull's betrayal etc. So I don't feel like repeating it on purpose. The only time I've done something like that on purpose was maybe the US with my second Warden, romancing Solas once, perhaps hardening Leliana in DAI.

[Bellethiel]

Killing clan Lavellan, or Hawke's sibling? 

 

Yeah.

 

I guess I am evil person sometimes.

You know, this is making me awfully nostalgic. That thrill I got when I sacrificed Isolde. Finally, an excuse to shut her up.

[Cosmia]

I let my Lavellan's clan die. All of your family and friends dying leads to great character development!

Would have led to more if they actually had some kind of consequence.  I thought someone somewhere would have said "I'm sorry" but nope, it was 'clan dead, business as usual'.  

Bioware fail.

 

At least Sera (of all people considering how she feels about elves) mentions it in Trespasser FINALLY, like 2 freaking years after the fact.

Sera gives more of damn about Lavellan's Dalish clan's destruction than Lavellan does. 

 

Think about that for a second.

[DarthLaxian]

Maybe its because I love samurai movies with tragic endings, but I have this habit of deliberately doing awful things to my characters and NPCs simply to create the most dramatic story paths I can. I'm curious as to whether anyone else likes to find creative ways of tormenting their characters? (Or am I just a weirdo?)

Some notable examples of me pulling the heads off my (virtual) Barbie dolls include:

- Romanced Alistair in Origins with my F!HN and was planning to rule with him as Queen, but recruited Loghain at the Landsmeet (she could not bring herself to make Anora watch her father die) and sent Alistair off to become a drunk. Unable to live with the guilt of what she had done to the man she loved, she made the Ultimate Sacrifice to kill the Archdaemon.

- Deliberately romanced Cassandra with my Inquisitor and meta-gamed so she would become Divine, knowing she would break up with him in the end. He finished up losing his girlfriend, losing the Inquisition, losing his hand, and being left with nothing but an iron determination to stop Solas if it's the last thing he does.

So, does anyone else do this, or am I just a sadist? (masochist?)

If you have any stories of horrible things you did to your characters, feel free to share.

 

On the contrary - I am a goody two shoes and mostly do good (except if someone betrays me, then I seldomly grant them mercy) in games (for the world I am in but also for my characters)...can't even do "evil" runs

Well, I did recruit Sera.

[themikefest]

horrible things

 

kill Leliana at the temple

kill the dwarf golem when I sided with Branka

left Sten in the cage

choose the werewolves over the elves

kill Conner

send Fenris back to his master

kill Merrils clan -

let the Arishok take Isabela

kill Anders - nothing horrible about that

let Meredith kill Bethany

kill Avelines husband instead of letting Aveline do it

not helping the people of Crestwood

letting the chargers die

not helping the people in Emprise du Lion

 

I'm sure I forgot a few things

I've never done any of those things.   

[berelinde]

Some of them are counter-productive. Sure, the inquisitor can avoid helping the people of Crestwood and the Emprise du Lion, but there's no advantage to it. A truly self-serving Inquisitor would help them out of self-interest. After all, if you arrest Mistress Poulin, you can appropriate her wealth instead of using it to help Sahrnia.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. Where is the game is there any reaction to this war table result? It is not mentioned anywhere except apparently Sera in Trespasser, as a result of devs incorporating fan feedback. Unless you mean your own roleplaying ability, then yes, it would be a good opportunity for that. But in game, nada.
