how can we justify him or her?

[melkathi]

Well I think we'll have to get Duncan to post in this thread. He's the one who recruited us into the party

[Herr Uhl]

I hate the developers for making us bring that douche everywhere.

Honestly....its actually kinda hard.



Alistair could, if he started out hardened or was self hardening (snicker), be a respectable leader for the Wardens and fulfill the requirements for the Dark Ritual with Morrigan, plus if he was the only one. Perhaps Riordan wouldnt have gone all "I'm-a spidey-man!" off the tower if there were only two wardens left.



Other than that....combat and story wise its not that big a deal if he/she wasnt there.





Oh wait this was a joke thread right? Pigeon-crap.....

If there was no player character, Bioware would go broke.

Actually this a perfect reason why it doesn't really matter. As off as some of the other characters can seem and make you wonder why you'd recruit them, you can play a character that is really not liked by other characters, often with little penalty. When I'm playing certain characters I sometimes imagine some companions teaming up and killing me in my sleep lol, thinking that they could fight the Blight easier without me rather than with me.

[Helios969]

Easily, I'm infallible.

[blademaster7]

LOL.

Duncan never recruits the PC.
Alistair is the only GW that survived Ostagar thanks to Flemeth.
Morrigan and Alistair end up killing each other on their way to Lothering.

GAME OVER

Yeah... we do need our character

That, or hatesex, if movie logic is anything to go by.

Win either way. Dog would pick up the slack. Aided by the amazing Bruma Brothers of course.

There is no justification other than someone is needed to play the lead. Besides without the PC there is no hardened Alistair and no one to go around picking up this dysfunctional party!

Actually I think Dog could have defeated the Blight on his own easily, if it hadn't been for those pesky humans/dwarves/elves holding him back...

And agreed on the hate sex. As long as there's a cutscene.

I think we should have a thread that justifies the justification!

Edit: There is one!

Lets say Alistair is the sole survivor of Ostagar. Instead of waiting for the PC to awaken he is left to ponder the situation. In a moment of clarity he realizes its all up to him now. He must unite the kingdom, take revenge, and end the blight. Duty demands that he take up the cause. Given this new path laid clearly before him he takes action, Morrigan would hardly give him as much flak since he is calling the shots and is the only way she could fulfill her mission. Essentially, in the absence of a customizable PC character, Alastair would be the main protagonist at which point we have the makings of most of the RPG games where you dont make your own character but instead play predefined ones, such as the final fantasy series.

She anticipated there being more GW around once the archdemon was to be slain. So she would be her usual self.

I don't know . . . I've had a few of my party members try to kill my warden, and Alistair give her a very sexy hate speech.  We defeated the blight anyway, so I suppose I see your point!  Though Ferelden did end up a much uglier place because of her influence . . .

Sometimes city elves do end up with PTSD you see.

The PC is a bad, bad, evil-bad person and the writers have a lot to answer for. I don't see how I can be expected to spend so much time around someone who is a liar, a polygamist, possibly a blood mage and without question an unapologetic mass-murderer. And can we please address the racism here? I have it on good authority that the majority of those murdered were a group called "Darkspawn." I don't see how anyone can justify this and will hereby commence holding my breath until someone can do so.

[Mirthadrond]

There is no justification for some of the things my PC did during the course of the game.



None - what so ever.

Dont worry, the "surprise me" option at The Pearl doesnt count. It's like Vegas.

The player is an emotionless hack, what else is there?

Hoping....Anticipating....Somehow I dont see Morrigan really thinking that way, I imagine she wouldnt really consider that a possibility until they showed up. I always pegged her as the Reality-is-what-you-see type. Plus if the Orlais Wardens showed up how would she know which of them would actually make it to the archdemon. I figure Wardens are like Ninja's. A single ninja is deadly and can take out armies by himself, however ninjas in larger numbers become fodder and are easily felled as they attack 2-3 at a time, see you can learn things from movies.

 but if Morrigan doesnt know which of the dozens of wardens from Orlais is gonna get the kill....that dark ritual just turned into something VEEERY different, although it would make for a heckuva cutscene!

Why the Player Character is necessary:

because Dragon Age:Origins would be a Movie instead a game.:P

[Alandros]

Hmm... Alistair and Morrigan. Alistair is too weak to be a leader at this point and he won't listen to Morrigan, that means that Flemeth would have to become the group leader (since Alistair seems to listen to her even if not Morrigan) and now that could turn out bad.
