Can someone please explain the NvM2 situation in more detail please? I want to know if this is worth me dancing in my house.

If you are wearing sequins and dancing to show tunes, it is always worth it, well, for the rest of us anyway.    

I too would like to know about the relationship though, I never did play that game.  Call me curious.

The story of NWN2 wasn't too different. You had to collect an army and ready the region to face the King of Shadows and his army.

At some part in the story you were given stewardship of Crossroad Keep.

At first this keep pretty much lies in ruins. You can spend resources to repair it. As you repair it and upgrade it, more space in the keep becomes available and you are offered choices of how to fill the space:
Which religion will you give the chapel to?
Should you let an old mage move into the tower or allow that secret order to use it as headquarters?

You also got to recruit various npcs. Thus the weaponsmith who was unhappy were he was and the armorsmith who's buisness was down, could be convinced to move to your keep and open shop there.

You could also repair the roads around the keep and send out patrols.

Of course your patrols started out as fairly clueless, raw recruits with minimal equipment.
But bringing materials to your smiths, you could get them to provide your troops with better arms and armour.
Also, for various npcs new conversations opened up, allowing you to get them to join your troops as officers.
These officers you could assign to training the men or leading the patrols.

Then the trade guilds would show interest. But which guild would you give the trading rights in your keep?

And of course a number of quests would open up.
Villagers harassed by bandits. Do you send your patrols or do you go yourself or do you ignore the villagers?
If you go yourself, do you try to prevent bloodshed and get the bandits to join your forces instead?

It was quite nice.

You pretty much had to upgrade your keep and do everything. But everything came with choices.

I guess here the equivalent would be selecting between giving the east barracks to a band of Ash Warriors and their hounds or to a Qunari mercenary troop.

I love RTS/RPG hybrids and I think if implemented correctly, it could be a really strong asset to the Dragon Age franchise.

DOn't get your hopes up, NwN2 wasn't made by bioware and what we see in awakening may be nothing like it... assuming Gamespot is even right.

[alickar]

in a way gamespot cant make that many errors unless they were typing and looking at the wall instead of the computer...

[Chris Priestly]

Well, as Commander of the Grey in Amaranthine, you don't want just anyone joining, do you?

Are you certain?
We are talking about gamespot

I am not getting my hopes up for Vigil's Keep.
But it would be nice if they did something ... well nice with it.

And in a game of meaningful choices I hope that rebuilding the wardens has loads of them.

[alickar]

your right we cant randomly select a bum off the street

Awww', so we can't maliciously force any and every villager in Thedas to drink of tainted blood as you conquer Orlais with an army of Grey Wardens ?

[alickar]

so gamespot should be right unless their brain dead or something

Maybe his son is a companion  (he did have a son right?)

Thomas, a few years younger, but totaly in love with my fem Cousland, according to Howe.

[Herr Uhl]

He had a daughter at least, dunno about son.

I think he has both and will refer to the one of the opposit gender to your character in the noble origin.

Yea, so maybe that sob can be a companion. Or hopefully a cameo.

That explains it, and both of them seems to be the same age. Twins?

Um, this is a bit awkward...but he was totally in love with my Cousland too.  Hmmmm.  

Yep, i think that puts him to the front of the line.  Honor to be a grey warden or not, I'm with Zev - the hero dies, and I recruit heroes damnit!  Who wants to die join first?

that is untrue... someone needs loyal subjects to further research Avernus research

I think it would be hilarious if we meet Arl Howe's kids in Awakening or the sequel and then they turn out to be wonderful people that are nothing at all like their father. Then you suddenly start feeling bad because they're now penniless and reviled throughout Ferelden because of him.
