For those of you who like to headcanon, who would/did your Warden-Commander choose to be the Warden-Constable of Ferelden?
My Warden chose Nathaniel. And not just because he was the only one left alive and in Ferelden after my epilogue... though, I suppose that did really limit my options.
Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to see people's different choices.
I was thinking along similar lines, as Nathaniel would have the greatest political acumen and leadership ability out of all of the remaining Grey Wardens (by vast margins). In my case, I just wanted to put him in charge while I ran off to keep searching for Morrigan.
So I was kind of disappointed to find Nathaniel in nothing but black leather in DA2 taking the odd job from the First Warden when he should be keeping the lid on Amaranthine. Otherwise he seemed to be doing fine.
Though with the Grey Warden ranks in both Fereldan and Orlais in tatters following the events of Inquisition I am of a mind to wonder where he went off to. I imagine Bioware won't be letting us meet any of our old crew from Awakening since most seem like they could be killed or at least "mysteriously disappear" during the course of the story.
Crud shame, I was a Sigrun fan at heart. She would be my second choice if Nathaniel was unable to take on the mantle.
I think that Nathaniel is the default choice, we all know what happens to Anders and Justice after Awakening so they're out.
Velanna is unstable though my Dalish warden is friend with her, but she disapears in all outcomes even the good ones, Sigrun isn't really a leading figure and is more attached to her vows toward the Legion of the Dead than the GW.
There's Oghren who can possibly take this role, he's an experienced warrior and we know that he can lead troups, since at the end of Origins he was an officer in the army.
So basically i'll choose between 2 : Nathaniel will be my first choice and Oghren my second choice.
Oghren. He was my Wardens best friend and seemed to like the Grey Warden way of life. He's the only companion of DAA who was there to fight the Archdemon with me. I think that's a pretty good reason to choose him.
All the companions of DAA are unfitting for the purpose the only one whom could be trusted is Varel due to his experience with the fortress but he dies unless the herald is fighted personally.
I'm curious. Why do you think the companions can't be trusted? A few I understand, but all?
Varel 
or Nate of course

My Hero is the King of Ferelden. He had better things to do. And he never wanted to be a Grey Warden. So he returned to court. Left Nathaniel in charge of Amaranthine, since that seemed fitting. The Silver Order was established also.

I would never choose anyone but Nathaniel. It just seems to be the perfect choice and the best way for him to redeem the Howe name too, proving that the name does not make the person.
Powerless as he is, I'm sure that the prince-consort has plenty of spare time. Anora is more than happy to handle all royal duties.
The position of commander of the vigil require several attributes that most DA characters especially those of DAA lack for their personal backgrounds.Varel was the only one who was an advisor long before the events of DAAThe others lack the experience to lead a fortress which means administer the soldiers payroll, the maintenance of the fortress the knowledge of Ferelden laws,the attitude to rule and so on and so forth afterall most of them were just criminals at the time of their recruitment.
Eh, true. But Wardens don't really get to be picky. Eventually I'm sure Weisshaupt would make you pick someone. Or send someone.
All? As opposed to just her usual half? Mmmm... no, I believe Anora described the King's presence in Denerim as a "great relief", and this is why the King declared joint-rule at the Landsmeet, to split the burden between the two monarchs. Now that the Hero King has left to find a cure for an ancient evil curse, and the full burden is on the Queen, Ferelden has practically gone to the Void without him. Some say the King's absence weighs heavily on the Queen's mind (Inquisition codex). No doubt she longs for the days when she kept the banns placated while her Hero King rode out to exterminate the Darkspawn threat, save the city of Amaranthine, build up a great fortress with an even greater army, and prevent food riots all while dodging the coup attempts by yet more traitorous lords and ladies.Powerless as he is, I'm sure that the prince-consort has plenty of spare time.

It's said he also saved Teyrn Fergus Cousland from bandits.I would never choose anyone but Nathaniel. It just seems to be the perfect choice and the best way for him to redeem the Howe name too, proving that the name does not make the person.[/size]

Yep! He did in the ending of my DAA game! I thought it was sweet since he was a close friend of my female Cousland.

Because at the Landsmeet the Warden says they'll rule together.
Ahh, so the part about Ferelden's state was a theory then. But pray tell, how is Anora's position as Cailan's Queen-Consort any different from the Warden as Prince-Consort?
Not a theory. When the Hero King was there, things were great. Now that he's elsewhere, things are bad.
Because Anora was not elected jointly with Cailan. The banns elected Cailan as sole monarch. He then married Anora months later. The Cousland and Anora were elected as joint-rulers simultaneously.

Well, she wanted to retain her throne. So, why would she complain about it, knowing the risks?
I don't even remember this decision. Is this an actual decision?

Nah, this is just headcanon.
I would go with Nathanial. He's strongly motivated to redeem his family, already has training in running an arling (even if his dad did the running of it, he's the heir so must have had instruction,) and I'd let him handle all the paperwork that may have been required.
My second choice would be Sigrun, if only because she'd have the most positive influence on any future Wardens compared to the bitter Dalish elf, the drunk dwarf beserker or the mage who goes on to become a terrifying....terrorist.
