I am at What Pride Had Wrought and never played the DLCs, so if people could refrain with spoilers i would be greteful :D

 

Basically topic's title. In an alternative universe where The Warden you made back in Origins-Awakening stays true to its character (and isn't limtied by Dragon Age being a game) what would s/he be doing during Inquisition? Joining the Inquisitor at Skyhold? Destroying Coryphessius (thanks Sera) at Haven? Drooling with the other (stupid) Wardens in league with Tevinter?

 

Not having done the ritual (but still having Kieran[whom in my head has Morrigan's hair and my warden's eyes]), King Alistair who died "mysteriously" during the battle of Fort Drakon is as heavily regarded, if not more, as "The Hero Of Ferelden" (i get that people don't know a warden has to die to end the Blight, so it makes sense that HE is not the big hero...... but still, son of Maric, King of Ferelden, dying in the last battle, it's kinda epic)

 

Between 9:34 and 9:40 he would have kept to his duties as Warden-Commander (also, i kinda like to imagine him going to Kirkwall as an ambassador of some kind for Anora and metting his rogue-ish, snarky cousin and, eventually, offering her and her companions safe arbour at Vigil's Keep for a time[Anders either dead or runaway, my warden would have killed him for betraying his trust, for blowing up the chantry he would have gone full blood mage on him]).

 

During the events of Inquisition he would have probably felt dutybound to help the Inquisitor after all the damage that the Wardens, and he himself (indirectly, through Anders. After all no conscription, no Chantry blown up), had caused. Probably none of his wardens, nor him himself, would have residied at Skyhold for fear of possibly "falling" to Corypheus kinda-mindcontrol and giving away the position of the fortress, plans and whatnot, but he would have helped doing the grunt work and probably in the training of the Inquisitor (cuz the world needs badass Arcane Warriors)

 

Also, the first meeting between Morrigan and Kieran and My Warden in my mind is awesome :P

 

Sorry for the long post but i'm really curious as to other people's "headcanons" of Inquisition and of their warden, since it's the only character missing. Bioware didn't handle badly The Warden, but i really wish we could SEE more of him in the future

She'd probably be assisting Briala and her elven spy network trying to improve conditions for elves in Orlais. (City Elf.)

My canon Warden (male Cousland Warrior) is dead.

However, if he was alive instead of being named Warden-Commander (an experimented Orlesian Warden was sent to Amaranthine either way) he would have left Ferelden for The Anderfels to resume the fight against the Darkspawn. Because there was no other life for him now.

* He would not seek a cure for The Calling. He had no problem facing a Grey Warden's death, like he did canonically.

Actually questing for a cure to the Calling seems pretty worthwhile to me, since the Warden is basically useless against Corypheus.

But other than that ... having sex with Leliana? That's the other reason he can't be at Skyhold: he'd be too distracting. :P

Which one?  *Randomly picks city elf male*

 

Staying out of the politics and religious fighting and instead working to ensure his holdings in Amaranthine are doing well and the Wardens are preparing properly for the next blight in a couple/few centuries.    He really has no relevance at all to the story of Inquisition as far as I'm concerned.

Hmm.....

 

Kita Mahariel (Dalish DD Rogue):

- would probably join the Inquisition.

- hug Leliana and trying to hug Morrigan :P

- tell Sera that she remembers the little girl behind the door in Denerim

- tell Varric to say Hello from her to Merrill

- tell Solas that Ancient Elven stuff is the reason she's now a Warden and she has had enough of it.  <_<

- tell Bull that she's glad that not all Qunaris are as boring as Sten :lol:

 

Bruce Surana (Cirlce Elf Mage):

- would probably also join the Inquisition, even tho he's not that fond of armies

- kiss Morrigan and hug his son Kieran

- tell Cullen that it's nice to see him again and that he's glad that Cullen is slowly getting over his trauma

- tell Viv that while he may have liked growing up in a circle, he totally gets why others don't and would like it, if Mages were part of the Community of the Village they're living close to.

- have lively discussions with Dorian and Solas about magic

- tell Cole that he once met a Spirit of Valor and that he still lives by his advice "Fight with Valor"

 

 

my only two Wardens so far :P

Its not that he found it a worthless endeavour or anything, my Warden simply would have accepted his fate (also, he never met Avernus nor learned about his research, so the possibility of a cure didn't ever cross his mind).

Personally, my warden as he is prior Origins ending would have maybe quested for a cure too to save other and alos himself. As he is in Awakening(kinda broken up and only driven by duty and his wardens/remaining friends), he has no reason to search for a cure because he, and all the wardens that he cares about, have still 20-25 years on them, plenty of time for Avernus to make up something if there is the need

You are concerned for a blight that is supposed to be several centuries in the future?Too many variables will take place in such a great amount of time to plan anything.

I don't see what's so worthwhile in preventing the voices since the taint can be used to prolong one's life,  i see no reason to remove it nor i understood why Bioware forced every warden  to follow the same path.

Pretty much doing the same thing they have them doing. My Warden was a mage who did the dark ritual, spared Avernus and drank his potion, and spared the Architect....going off studying the blight and trying to find a cure is pretty in character for mine. I'm fine with that.

Had they been able to make a cameo for the Warden, and had they decided to, it might have been interesting to see them mixed up in the Warden plot line somehow during Inquisition, though.

Avernus used his magic to prolong his life, not the taint. And my Warden would certainly NOT be willing to use blood magic to stretch his lifespan a few centuries.

And yet, that's their job.

 

In peace, vigilance.

In war, victory.

In death, sacrifice.

 King Alistair who died "mysteriously" during the battle of Fort Drakon is as heavily regarded, if not more, as "The Hero Of Ferelden" (i get that people don't know a warden has to die to end the Blight, so it makes sense that HE is not the big hero...... but still, son of Maric, King of Ferelden, dying in the last battle, it's kinda epic)

 

 

I had a similar ending with several differences,used Loghain to get rid of the archdemon and crowned my own warden and not Alistair
(don't understand why i should do otherwise ,all efforts are mine the throne is mine no?)

Mine too. 

 

My Orlesian Warden would most likely be struggling with where and what the Architect is up to, since I let him live. She is too smart to fall for Clarel's stupidity though, and I don't think she would bother herself with the inquisition since she has unfinished business on her own. 

 

She was hoping to run into Anders again, but she heard he blew up the Chantry, went crazy, and the Champion of Kirkwall martyred him for the Mage cause. Ugg...why can't just one thing go wrong at a time?

 

Back to searching for the first Magister to start doing crazy s***.

If they are not dead yet due to the Ultimate sacrifice or the calling then they are probably going to die of boredom.

My Cousland Warden wouldn't have let Ferelden slide into the morass of incompetence Inquisition gleefully has it go through...

 

I mean, seriously, the very words "Marquis of Haven" get my blood boiling. And don't talk to me about that claptrap World of Thedas says about "borders are not strictly enforced, blahblahblah..." That may be true in a place like Antiva and Rivain, but Ferelden underwent a century-long occupation from Orlais. The average native Fereldan distrusts and fears anything "Orlesian" - how else do you think was Loghain able to maintain so much popular support in the Army, even with half the Landsmeet hating his guts? Unlike our real-life medieval countries, Ferelden has a standing Army, crafted by Loghain and maintained by the unnaturally strong fist of Ser Cauthrien - USE IT YOU IDIOTS. 

 

(You'd better believe the border crossing at Gherlen's Halt was strictly watched, on BOTH sides.)

 

Seriously, Anora? You're supposed to be super-competent and intelligent and everything canon tells us, yet you fail to maintain an armed presence on YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S SIDE OF THE FROSTBACKS. A natural barrier, one of the best in Thedas, and you... ugh.

 

And then there's the mages taking up residence in Redcliffe. A proper arling thrown to a pack of foreigners, not some disposable bannorn or better yet, someplace in Orlesian territory. Because Redcliffe has such a good history with magical experimentation, now, doesn't it? If you want to support the mages, send financial aid and agents to ferment dissent in Orlesian lands! Use some of your father's old Night Elf companions! If you distrust the mages, let them run amok in Orlais and wash your hands of the whole affair! What the heck is wrong with you?!

My warden performed all her duties in DAO
and killed as much as she could (both Loghain and Alistair,both The Architect and his old god )
She doesn't have any say on the matter of Inquisition because is not her story nor her concern.
She is the one which is full of darkness and is not fitting to stay with the Inquisition.

I'm thinking the same.

 

Although my Warden is heavily Andrastian too. So he'd care about those issues.
