Lyrium-addled. But I don't mean that in a bad way.

But how did he kill all those darkspawn? He is even more powerful than the Warden! And what the hell was he doing in the fort anyway?

I guess I understand Biowares purpose of putting him in the Fort, in terms of game play. I guess they wanted to give you one last option to enchant before facing the Archdemon. But there was no real logical way to do this that made sense so they decided to have some fun with it, and thus the super ENCHANTER that can kill a room filled of Darkspawn as if he were Neo in the Matrix. Maybe that's it, I can't say I really know.

They never said he killed all those darkspawn.  He simply says the same thing he always does and we assume what happened.

Ohhhhhhh I like that one!!!  But it would have to be the spawn of Neo and Forrest Gump. As in another post I will stick to my answer of an old banished Paragon with lyrium in the blood that aids to his near immortality.

Before Bodhan ran off, he told Sandal that all those darkspawn wanted enchantments, but that the runes were in their bodies.  Sandal was more than glad to help get them out :D

As much as I think Bioware put Sandal in that area to help out the player and to have some fun, sometimes it appears like there is something going on behind the scenes. For example, Sandal and the Tranquil display a similar affect, are good with working lyrium and have a tendency to be hard workers that can focus on a task in ways others usually do not. I didn't think this was a coincidence. But if it isn't, it brings up some interesting questions.



Is it lyrium that does it? Is the combination of lyrium exposure and no connection to the Fade? Can the Tranquil also become unstoppable, Darkspawn-slaying machines if trained to do so with a similar focus? Is this brutality really a result if sociopathy caused by lyrium exposure and having no dreams? If so, what could Sandal possibly need to do there at that time? I am probably looking too deeply into the connection - most likely there is none at all, but I think it's neat story material.

The difference between the Tranquil and Sandal, is that Sandal expresses emotion, more commonly happiness and eagerness.



But who knows maybe he is the uber wunderkind of lyrium miners and refiners who didn't know that there is such a thing as "too much of a good thing".

He's lyrium addled, that's all. He's a walking "tee-hee, tards" gag. As pointed out upthread, he's there for gameplay reasons and it's just a joke. But people will speculate about *anything* as this thread is perfect evidence.

We speculate because we're bored at work... at least I am.
Thank you... Chuck Norris!

I believe that Sandal is essentially the anti-flemeth. That Flemeth was first made an abomination by the demon of betrayal, but the demon was so astounded at the betrayal that Flemeth felt, it was content to let her control it, making herself different. However, I believe something similar happened with the spirit of innocence and Sandal. If you look at it, Sandal is opposite of Flemeth In every way. Simple and trusting, surrounded by friends who's only concern is to look after him and provide for him. While Flemeth was betrayed by the man who loved her. That could be the explanation for Sandal and Flemeth's immense powers in their respective fields. I look forward to their possible final confrontation in Inquisition
