Anyone else find him a very interesting character? So far, out of all the people in my party, he is quite possibly the most intriguing for me, every time I think I've got him understood, and why he's here, what he wants, he surprises me with some new facet of his personality to figure out.

He's kind of annoying as a party member, and I can rarely take him with me on travels. due to his hatred of side quests, and also because Dog/Shale/Alistar is just such a powerful combo, but I just love chatting him up in the camp, and am hoping later on, if I manage to get him to like me, he might tell me more about his people, himself, and the reasons behind why he does things, although I think I might have some good ideas so far.

So kudos to whoever wrote Sten, he's a fascinating character, so much so that I've gotten to thinking of starting a game JUST to get him to full rep, just to see how he responds to me, and what information I can get from him, although I doubt it will come easily.

I will say that Sten is someone who you're only going to learn a limited amount about if you don't actually take him with you in the active party. Unlike other party members, he doesn't divulge a lot of information about the Qunari when asked directly. What happens instead is that, while adventuring around the world, he will comment on things he sees and mention certain things when bantering with other party members -- and THEN you can ask him about those things later, but only then.



This doesn't mean you can't talk to him about other things, but this is the only way you're going to get him to talk about the Qunari specifically.

I also really like Sten but is there any reason why he doesnt get a specialization at level 7? I mean, that makes him strictly worse then Ogrhen(sp)

You can get Sten a specialization, if you wish, once you have it unlocked and he is otherwise eligible. In fact, considering that Sten is the only party members who *doesn't* start with a specialization, he's probably the only one who can do so at level 7.

As far as I've experienced, Sten doesn't get a point at level seven at all.


Yeah, this is a bug.  He was supposed to get a point at level 7 and didn't because all the other followers come with that point already.

Personally I would've pegged him as a Berserker given his tendency to panick and slaughter entire families in a blind rage...


If that's how we worked out specializations, then Loghain's would have to have been "Strategic Retreater," the PC and Alistair would automatically earn, "Rescued by Crazy Old Ladies" specialization after Ostagar, and Oghren's would have been, "Divorcee."

OK; so here´s the question Mr. Gaider:

Sten has mentioned a lot of things with my other companions while playing such as his remarks to Morrigan about her flirting to him; Leliana calling him "softie", the growling between him and the dog, his definition about the urn as a "trashcan"... And I never got the chance to ask him about any topic of those when I talk to him in camp or somewhere else.

Is this bugged or the way it is supposed to be?


There are specific comments he makes that open up new dialogue with Sten.  Usually, they aren't banters with another NPC, they're just single remarks he makes as you're wandering around.

Since this is the spoiler forum:

One of them always occurs near a chantry.
One of them is in the Brecilian Forest.
One of them is in the Denerim market (it's extremely tricky to get this one, actually. )
One of them is at the Circle Tower.
