I have done everything in all 3 games but executing Alistair. He's just too cool to die.

He also always survives the veil. RIP Hawke.

[DuskWanderer]

Spare Anders

 

Do "The Last Resort of Good Men" without skipping all the dialogue.

[KaiserShep]

I can never punch Dorian. 

[Andraste_Reborn]

In DAO, I have never ...

 

- killed Dog. Because I am not a complete monster. (This is the reason that Darkspawn Chronicles is the on Dragon Age thing I've never played.)

 

- left the people of Redcliffe to die. It just seems like such a lousy tactical decision if you want Eamon to help you!

 

- killed Wynne and/or Leliana at the Temple of Sacred Ashes. It's way too much trouble to bring party members there if I'm just going to kill them.

 

- killed Deygan. I took his boots a couple of times.

 

- let Calendrius sacrifice those elves for a measly one point of Constitution. I did let him leave with his slaves once, though.
 

- executed Alistair.

 

- executed Nathaniel.

 

In DA2, I never ...

 

- failed to get Aveline and Donnic together. The quest is too funny to skip.

 

- killed Merrill.

 

- let Meredith kill Bethany.

 

However, I do have a world state artificially created in the Keep that has all of these outcomes, except killing Dog. (Because, as previously noted, I am not a complete monster how could you even do that. Also, the imaginary Warden was a human noble and didn't even get the option.)

 

In DAI, there a bunch of things I haven't done yet because I haven't finished all my playthroughs - I haven't helped Briala at the Winter Palace or left Alistair in the Fade or romanced Cullen or Cassandra, but I plan to get around to those things eventually.

 

The stuff I'm less sure about in Inquisition is: punching Dorian, giving Vivienne the wrong wyvern heart and making a deal with Imshael. All my Inquisitiors have either gotten along with Dorian or not recruited him, not sure I'll ever play one that he dislikes enough for this to come up. I think I might have a roleplaying justification for a future Inquisitor to give Vivienne the wrong heart, but we'll see if it works when I get there. Haven't made an Inquisitor that's the kind of person to make deals with demons yet, and I'm not sure I'll get around to it.

[Melbella]

Not DAI, but the main thing that I refuse to ever do or watch is giving Fenris to Danarius.

 

I'm planning on either doing that or killing him sometime, but I really really don't want to.  It'd have to be a hell of a roleplaying effort to be able to justify that one.  I do plan on having a Hawke that's a right s.o.b. so maybe with him...

I could never do that either. Not even with my blood mage Hawke.

 

 

Cannot/will not:

 

DAI

Keep Bull in the Qun

Let Celene be assassinated (I hate them all equally, so status quo it is)

Let Morrigan drink from the Well if playing a Dalish mage

Lie about who Ameridan was

Keep Cullen on lyrium

 

 

DA2

Give Fenris to Danarius

Let Arishok have Isabela (despite its stupid run-around-like-a-nut mechanic, the duel is fun)

Let Meredith kill Bethany (not even my mage-hating, pro-Templar-hawk Hawke could go that far)

Rival Aveline or Varric (more a cannot since it doesn't work out even if I try)

Side with Janeka (though after DAI, this decision really doesn't matter)

Side with Varnell/Petrice

 

 

DAO

Keep the Anvil of the Void (sided with Branka once for the achievement but convinced her to let it go)

Leave Vaughn alive in City Elf origin

Execute Alistair (worst I did was exile him)

 

In general, I can't be mean or cruel for lulz (though my pro-Templar Hawke came close - ugh, that stupid achievement!)

[Beren Von Ostwick]

Exile the Wardens

Punish Ser Ruth

 

It's a great weakness in my RP armor.  I just fangirl waaaay too much over the Wardens.

[Exile Isan]

I have/will also never keep Cullen on lyrium or give the Chantry the truth about Red Crossing or hide the truth about Inquisitor Ameridan.

[Xerrai]

I can't ever condone a Divine Vivienne (Or "The Lady of Bloody Iron" as I call her. Quite a violent Divine). She has never been elected yet, but if she does i'll reload a save just to make sure she doesn't ascend to the Sunburst Throne. Even Leliana is better.

 

I can't ever sacrifice the chargers. Tactically speaking, allying with the Qunari is better, but I never really trust the Qunari. They are quite frightening. Plus I like the chargers.

 

I can't ever hit Solas. Well, I did actually--but I immediately regretted it. But that entire "traditionalist" playthrough made me feel like a d*ck. I actually felt repulsed at myself that entire playthrough.

 

I can't ever tell Cullen to take lyrium. It a story of overcoming drug additions and PTSD that I always end up supporting Cullen for--all the way. None of that "take lyrium at least until we defeat Cory" tripe either.

 

I can't tell Cassandra to not rebuild the Seekers. I simply can't tell her to abandon something she dedicated her life to. Especially since with her at its head, it may be salvageable. 

 

I can't ever not get really high court approval in Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. Even when my inner RP nerd tells me a Dalish elf should never have so much natural talent in the game, I still make her ultra super duper special by allowing her to gain max approval.

 

I can't ever play a dwarf. Period. I just...can't. It's too unappealing.

 

I can never take a romance with Sera seriously.

 

I also can't ever bring myself to kick Sera out.

 

There's more but these are the most notable.

[nightscrawl]

Can't play as a human non-mage because they don't seem to have any friends or family that cared about them. It doesn't seem any friends or family ever come to visit them. Did they die at the conclave? If so why wasn't the Herald affected by the loss of family and friends?

 
Uhm... I wasn't aware that the non-human origins had that great a deal of interaction with their origin stories, comparatively speaking... I play as a human non-mage and am quite happy using headcanon for any sort of relationship I want. In that one Josephine conversation you can dictate the kind of relationship you have with your family.

As far as the war table goes, they chose to focus more on the nobility rather than the family aspect of it, which is why those operations deal with that sort of thing. I never took that as an indication that your family doesn't care.
 
 

-trick Dorian into seeing his father

Oh this is a good one. I could probably make a whole post about Dorian things but I didn't want to get carried away.

[Fiskrens]

This! So glad I'm not alone there.

[Witch Cocktor]

Oh this is a good one. I could probably make a whole post about Dorian things but I didn't want to get carried away.

Do it anyway!

[Chiramu]

I'm probably going to forget a few things here .

 

DAI

Force Cullen to take lyrium

Drink from the Well 

Help Briala(I hated her in the novel)

Romance Blackwall("What should I do with him—dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentlewoman?" Beatrice - Much Ado About Nothing)

Keep Celene as Empress(I'm Team Gaspard, judging the box is funnier knowing Gaspards' sense of humour too )

Force either the templars or mages into servitude for the Inquisition(how freaking cruel of a person would you be to force them to serve you?! ><)

Kill or exile the Wardens

Not have Loghain as Hawkes' friend(best voice acting)

Make Cole more human(seeing how much happier he is as a spirit I can't ever make him human anymore )

[GoldenGail3]

DAO:

Kill Alistair

Leave Redcliffe to die

Kill Wynne and Leliana by poisoning the ashes

 

DAI:

Romance Cassandra

Be friends with everyone

[CircusDragon]

DAO:

- Not play as my canon warden... I tried playing my canon (DE) in a different Origin (HN) but it didn't feel right. I actually like the fact that my warden hasn't got massive ties to the main events. I've played through her story with lots of variations though.

- Not romance Alistair

- Not exile Loghain

- Annul the Circle

- Side with Branka or Bhelen

- Trick Morrigan, Flemeth always dies... I like to think that Mahariel killed Flemeth after Hawke left Lothering, then Hawke "revived" her with the amulet

- Not do the DR... if I could play through as a different character I would be an Elf Mage who romances Leliana and does US. I think it would suit Leliana's DAI character (passionate mage + elf supporter)

- poison the ashes (even though it was the only way to get reaver spec grr)

- Not 'cure' werewolves

 

DA2

- Not play as my canon.. soo there are a lot of things I can't/won't do in DA2. I do watch them on YouTube though.

- side with templars at the end

- execute anders

- let varric keep idol, kill bartrand

- side with janeka

- kill or lose a companion on purpose (the friendship/rivalry thing got me good on my first few plays)

- make feynriel tranquil

 

DAI

- play as qunari.. I don't feel as though I know enough about them

- get to crisis point with companions (I have made them angry sometimes, for instance Solas hated me because I sided with templars and kept Grey Wardens before doing his quest)

- kill alistair. Sorry Hawke/Varric

- make cullen take lyrium

- not judge Blackwall myself

- not get all dialogue perks. I'm the Inquisitor! I SHOULD be studying things!!

- not recruit anyone who is recruitable. Can't tell if this is a gameplay ocd thing or a RP thing that makes me not able to pass up a recruit lol

- conscript mages. Conscripted the Templars once and reloaded because I felt lame

 

 

Not many things in DAI that I refuse to do... for some reason I have been able to complete a few different characters, which I am unable to do in DAO/DA2!

 

 

Just in general though, I am not able to just shove my opinions in others' faces and be rude about it. You can disagree with the circle and NOT bark about how **** templars are whenever there's an opening. Or you can be atheist and not be totally rude about religion to people who believe! I am friends with plenty of people in RL that don't have all the same views as me. But that's a different discussion xD

[Ghost Gal]

Something I can't make myself do any game: 

 

-Play as a human.

-Be a jerk to my companions. (I can disagree with them on things or say something out of general exasperation with the situation--like when the party lands in the Fade in DAI and Solas admires the Golden City in the distance, and my Lavellan who was romancing him basically said, "That's great and all, but we've got to get out of here!" But I can never be outright mean or hurtful. I have to watch Youtube videos of that just to see how it would go.)

 

DAO:

-Make a deal with Vaughan.

-Snitch on Jowan to Irving.

-Kill Trian.

-Annul the Circle.

-Kill Connor.

-Kill all Dalish or all Werewolves.

-Defile the Ashes. (It just seems so needlessly spiteful and/or wasteful. From where my Warden's standing, what if we need more ashes in the future?)

-Side with Branka.

-Force Alistair to marry Anora. (Hell, I can barely make myself crown him--the only playthrough of mine where he was king, my gal had a hardened Alistair duel Loghain to the death not knowing the Landsmeet would just declare him king on the spot, and she was like, "B-but... I already promised Anora... No? Well, all right then.")

-And finally: Spare Loghain. (DIE!!!)

 

DA2:

-Actually play the game.

 

DAI:

-Kill the Chargers.

-Put Cullen back on lyrium.

-Agree with anything Vivienne says.

-Agree with Sera when she says the Temple of Mythal is "nothing but a pit of demons."

-Sacrifice Alistair or Stroud in the Fade.

-Crown Gaspard or Celene without Briala. 

-Ignore the Mythal rituals or kill the Elven Sentinels. (NOOOO!!! Abelas always lives!)

-Skip over the Fallow Mire, Hissing Wastes or Empris du Lion, even though they're a pain in my rear and take up so much game time to explore, just because I can't make myself abandon kidnapped followers or slaves. Even if my character doesn't know, I know that some of these areas have prisoners and slaves in them, so I can't leave them to rot.

-Bring myself to complete any of the "collect them all" subquests; Mysterious Shards, Bottles of Thedas, Mosaic Pieces, what-have-you. The maps are too huge and I just don't have the patience for it.

-Kill any dragons unless the story forces me.

[Gold Dragon]

Very Little.

 

DAO has almost everything done.

 

Never:

Killed off Redcliffe Village (Not all the guards are saved each time, tho)

Executed Alistair at Landsmeet (He has died killing the Archdemon, Tho)

Purposefully killed off ANY companion, nor let them be forceably removed (Anders being taken by the Templars is an example)*

Not ended the curse of the Werewolves

Sidied with Branca (she always dies)

 

DA2:

PLayed a Non-Mage Hawke past the Gallows Entrance

Played a Male Hawke

Romanced anyone except Anders

Not Forgiven Anders (She Romanced him.  How could she not forgive?)

 

DAI

Kept Cullen On Lyrium

Kept Bull in the Qun

 

There's probably more, but it's late, and I'm tired.

 

* I HAVE played Darkspawn Chronicles.

[IllustriousT]

There are many decisions that I tend to always lean to one side, but since they are usually one time events, it is easier to take the plunge into the dark side (..or light side) on an occasion or two - even if it means reloading once you know the results.  

 

The one decision that I consistently fail at is in Inquisition - the lines of dialogue and questioning that is suppose to determine if I feel like I have been "chosen." I tend to take the "I'm not chosen...just unlucky," kind of approach every time.  I just can't stick with the "Yes! I have been chosen by Andraste!" approach. I just can't...and even if I attempt to, at some point in the game I avert from it because there are so many times that it is asked of you.  

[Force of the North]

spare Loghain.  I found it even hard to live in that word that I set up in the keep to do a Anti-cannon play through of DAI 

[dgcatanisiri]

In Inquisition...

• Can't ally with the Qunari at the expense of the Chargers (I love the Chargers, and, knowing what I do about the Qunari, even before Trespasser, I saw it as them trying to get their foot in the door in southern Thedas, not being genuine about wanting to work with the Inquisition)
• Can't mage Cole more spirit-like (Cole's nature has already changed by virtue of him being in the mortal realm physically, he is already something other than a spirit, telling him to go back to being a spirit is like telling him to undo the changes he's already undergone or is in the process of undergoing. Though I admit to hating him getting together with Maryden...)
• Can't make Cullen take lyrium (Not ever going to tell a person trying to beat addiction that they should retake that addictive substance)
• Can't dismiss the Temple of Mythal with Sera (History has value, and the fact remains there's no demon worshiping going on there, these things CAN coexist, Corypheus making Chantry doctrine somewhat true doesn't devalue the fact that we see Dalish lore being made true as well)
• Can't reunite Celene and Briala (Never sending a abuse victim back to her abuser)

Those are the really big things.

[Donquijote and 59 others]

Not DAI, but I can't let Alistair be executed. I've done everything else.

So disappointing...Iynroy

Alistair's execution  is the only reason way i  consider DAO to be a decent game.

 

- Not performing The Ultimate Sacrifice.
 

Yeah i know idealistic people like us tend to die pretty easily in this world.

I'm reunited with Alistair in hell!

[GoldenGail3]

I also never commit the DA. Because i'm selfish...

I got over it.

[GoldenGail3]

I got over it.

To be honest, i can't kill em either. 

[KaiserShep]

- let Meredith kill Bethany.

 

 

This one I can never do either. I'd sooner give Fenris to Danarius before I let Meredith kill her. 

[Andromelek]

This one I can never do either. I'd sooner give Fenris to Danarius before I let Meredith kill her.

Neither I, if I barely can be cruel with friends, I can't let the family be hurt.
