I know its not on subject but just adding my voice to those that say that Sten only gets 1 specialization point. Level 20 on one of my saves and only gets 1 point

[AOPotter]

Sten is one of the things in the game that made me go: "What were they thinking?". In a game that relies on quests to advance your character they add a character with whom you loose standing when you do quests.

I like Sten, he seems to be something what Minsc could've been if he hadn't been hit on the head.
(Although I prefer my Minsc stupid and funny. )

He frequently got his a** handed to him unfortunately, but after some time I learned how to use him properly. That is, my character -> tank, Sten -> heavy hitter. No matter that the enemy would attack him anyway. Also, I thought that the fact he only gets one specialisation point was a special trait of the Qunari race, well it seems I was wrong.

I liked the way he would question my orders. That created sort of a tension in the party, I also was surprised to learn that the only thing he liked about Ferelden were cookies. Well, everyone's got their dirty secrets.

sten is cool once you do his quest and i love the dwarf too his comments are funny to wynne

[Josielyn]

Sten can kick butt. Give him a Chasind Flatblade, keep him in your party, up his Constitution and Willpower, give him Med-Heavy armour, and whenever you make a choice, make the hardass logical choice, not the compassionate one. Your other party members will not like it, but at least you keep your points with Sten. And, be sure to give him lots of gifts. And, When you go to Lothering, have Leliana and Sten in your party together while you explore the town- the banter is hilarious! Sten, Dog, and Wynne helped my Rogue Dwarf clean out the Brecilian Ruins- he is a powerhouse, and can be setup to Taunt in order to keep the heat off of Wynne.

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.

In my first completion of the main quest I managed to gain enough trust to be able to help Sten with his dilemma. Your post makes me wonder, if I can even learn more about him.

Generally speaking that's a really cool RPG-feature, that you can after certain experiences refer to them in conversations with an NPC. I wonder if this was included in earlier games? New topics based on game events make the henchmen much more intersting and makes me take a greater variety of group members with me. I bet it will take some playthroughs to see the majority of dialogues. Is this mostly Sten, or also other NPCs?

[Darkspawnbane111]

I loveee his background but he acts like a total douchebag to my character and even when i do nice to him his disposition goes even lower

[AgenTBC]

The characters all have interesting stories, but Sten is the only one whose interaction with the PC is done correctly. It's GREAT that you need him in your party in order to unlock a lot of his dialogue options and can't just stick him camp and shove treats in his face to get him to treat you like a soulmate.



They should all be that way. Not in your party? Good luck getting them to trust you. Too bad it doesn't actually work like that for the rest of the NPCs.

[Hunter246]

sten doesn't talk a lot so you may find him boring but i like him after i did his quest. A few companions need their quest done before they bit more interesting.

[arpegino]

Sten > that insecure whiner in my camp any day.

[LemuresXL]

No one is worse then Morrigan. I'm kinda suprised how much I hate her, but she's in my top list of worst game chars. Going into the game I was annoyed about her voice, then once I started playing the game, I started to warm to her. Maybe about half or less through though, her ****iness got bothersome. What happened? She ****ed more. She kept it up all to thee end which.... wait this is spoiler free right? I can't say then. Hey, it's not spoiler that all she does is **** or is an evil ****. I do wonder why after people thinking she was evil, David said she wasn't. I played it. She's evil. I like some evil chars... This one, is a very shallow evil ****y idiot.



On the bright side, every other char is pretty good. Even Sten can grow on you, I didn't like him at first either.



Oh and after all my talk about not using Wynne and how much I didn't like her before the game came out... She is awesome. Up there with Alister and Leliana

[TileToad]

He is a softy.

[Stebenator]

Alistar+shale+wynne+you= best combo so far others are just waste

[Drabaa]

Morrigan evil? Never thought so.
She is my second favorite after Sten, a firm believer in natural selection and winner-takes-it-all. A refreshing change of pace after some rpgs, where you are presented with 5 dialogue options, 4 of them sounding like a selfless boyscout/mother Theresa and the last effectively saying kill the houses burn the women rape the children because I'm evil MWAHAHAHAHA.

------------------------------------------------------ SPOILER -------------------------------------------------------------
Best example would be Lothering merchant, whiny chantry nut tells you some bad bad merchant is taking advantage of the situation. Just what Morrigan says, plus I missed the option of bashing her around a bit.
------------------------------------------------------ SPOILER ENDS ----------------------------------------------------



Stebenator:
If you are gunning for effectiveness just take the 3 mages + Alistair team. Once you learned which spells make the casting mage an instant target of a manhunt and you know what to expect from bosses( ie. after the first playthrough ), the AI won't challenge your intelligence even on nightmare. It's really just a matter of personal preference.

morrigan is a great character for the fact you hate her so much she isn't meant to be a loved character.

[Ulrik the Slayer]

Sten has some awesome bits of dialogue gold. Like in the end-game celebrations he says something along the lines of:

"Where is the cake? I thought there was going to be cake. The cake is a lie."

[FairSpiffy]

Sten is my hands down favorite character in my party. He's not an easy guy to get to know, that's for sure, and a lot of effort and time has to be put into him to make him open up to you. If you take him with you, he will sometimes comment on what he sees. I go on a ton of side quests and I've never had a problem with Sten, though I also have a high Persuasion skill, though it doesn't prevent disapprovals in most cases, he can lessen the blow.



With him, the more questions you ask about his culture and the less judgements you make on it without hearing the whole story really help get him to like you. All 3 of my characters are total goody two shoes and I have him at full approval within the first half of the game. Once you know him, he's the easiest to get approval for, IMO.





SPOILER WARNING



If he likes you, in the event where he can turn on you in Haven, he doesn't. He inquires about you, and says that he trusts you with his life, but he's worried about you making the right decision.



END SPOILERS



Hands down my fave, he'll never be out of my party.

[Hunter246]

The Cake is lie! lmao

[CJohnJones]

Sten is, so far, the only character who really definitively gets Morrigan's goat. I won't spoil it, but she teases him mercilessly until his reply eventually makes her shut her cake-hole.

And men say women are high maintenance .. GEEZE!

in real life yes, but oh so predictable in games XD

[Josielyn]

Sten likes cake cookies, and playing with animals.

[Skellimancer]

Sten is my favorite character. He says more by saying less.

I like Sten but he talks too much.
Everyone talks too much in DAO, why cant people just point at a big castle and say stuff like "enter and kill" and let me be on my way?

Diablo is that way friend.

I agree, the game should also have guns.

[Basil_Abdef]

Eh, I dislike the fact that the developers made Sten strictly worse than Oghren. There's really no legitimate reason to ever take him anywhere once Oghren is there.
