Thinking about it, didn't someone at the beginning of Origins said that mabari choose their master for a life, and they never leave him/her? So yeah, it's strange that Dog is not with us (at least if we export our character from Origins).


Yes, that's exactly what was stated, so the absence of the dog actually violates their own mythos.  I found it very jaring and unexcusable.  Even if all they did was give us the presence of our dog at the Keep, I would have been happy... well, happier than just his complete and unexplained absence.  Boo, writers, boo.

I agree with the posters who found Oghren much nastier and more unlikeable in Awakenings.  I couldn't wait to get another tank-like party member and ditch him... but then I don't find alcoholics hee-larious, so there's that.

Oghren is awesome in Awakening. Can't wait to play 3 dwarves + 1 mage party once I actually bother to finish Origins. Will probably take a while since Awakening is so much better and more interesting though.

I agree that he is overboard in Awakening, the "rack" comment was too much. I'm only a few hours in to Awakening, but there should be a way for you to make him check his manners through dialogue, I would be ok with that, because there are plenty of people like this is real life and that's what you do to them, and it's actually fun to do, but the fact that he just seems to get away with it makes it tough to tolerate, especially if you're someone who cares about egalitarianism. Other than that, I mostly enjoy his character, I liked him in Origins.

It's.......a.......GAME!!!


Wait wait... what's this?  Dragon Age is a GAME?  The characters are... not REAL?  You don't say!  And all this time I've been thinking that the little cartoons on my computer screen were actual people and I was really spending my life crawling through tunnels and slaying darkspawn!  Thank goodness you came along to clear up my misconceptions.

Glad I could help.  Next step, meet some real people. ;)

Indeed. Many people know him only as a comic relief and a stereotypical dwarf in DA:O. We get another chance to get to truly know him in Awakening.


And so far he's an over-the-top drunk that hits on anything female. He has the occassional funny line, but seriously, he's a dad now right? he ditched his wife too. I've seen a few funny things in Origins, but there's only so far his kinda humor can get you, before it just gets annoying or childish, IMO. And I crack dirty jokes and sh-- with my friends a lot. zevran knew when to stop, and he's not *belch* YA WANT SUMS O' DIS?! in your face about it. I liked a conversation between him and Sigrun about Branka and prefering something else afterwards because it insulted him and shut him up about getting into her pants.

I'm glad we could get him late in Origins, but now I'm gonna try refusing him the Joining, and probably getting Justice right off the bat or something on my next transfer.

Oghren wasn't my favorite character in Origins. He definitely would not have been my choice to bring back in Awakenings.

You people getting to emotionally attached to your characters crack me up.

Oghren is fine. If you don't like that they chose him as the returning favorite....tough. Deal with it.


Says the kid coming here and complaining about people who are complaining.

And why play a game if not to get involved with the characters? If a game doesn't have me emotionally attached I don't waste my time playing the piece of ****. People who don't play to experience that are generally the prepubescent kids who will greedily lap up any bad, overrated first person shooter that falls into their cheetoh stained fingers.



Oh boy you "older" people sure like to call anyone who doesn't agree with you young......kid......immature yes?

What am I making you see how pathetic you all must be getting so attached to a friggin' game character.  They're not real.  You're not having a real relationship.  Go outside meet REAL people m'kay? ;)


The extent of your wit and intellect know no bounds! Only truly clever masterminds use the 'get a life' comeback on the internet. But in any case, I no doubt have more of a life than you dearie. I have a boyfriend, therefore I'm not trying to have some fake relationship through a game because I'm lonely. It's cute how you see it that way though. I doubt you've even seen a vagina in your lifetime eh? Poor child.

Express your dislike of oghren here.

I hate oghren. He was by far the worst companion, if not worst NPC overall in origins. Why put him in awakening.

Not only does oghren promote the delinquency of minors by encouraging the consumption of alcoholic beverages, he is gross and boring and ugly.

Wouldn't everyone have much rather had Dog return? Dog was awesome, and he requires no voicework.

Or, what about sandal or ruck?? Seriously, Sandal companion would have given the awakening team legendary status and lifted the reviews from 8's to the 9's easily.






My least fav character in DAO or DAO A.. and I really dig Sirgun so it's not like I just hate d0rfs.

Does this "real" boyfriend of yours suddenly disapper once you turn off your computer? :D

As for a vagina....who HASN'T seen one in this day and age.  I bet yours is all hairly with lips the size of my whole hand.....amiright? :sick:

I was looking forward to getting to know Ohgren more before the expansion but having played it I really don't like him. The only charecter more dense than him is Anders.



A shame seeing as I actually liked him in the little time I talked to him in the main game.

Hahaha... that made me laugh for some reason - almost as hard as when Oghren commented on my "rump roast" in Origins.

Sure, if you give me a dragon to ride on ...

Anyway about Oghren - i "spoke" more with the dog than him - but the Grey Wardens need such people, don't they ? (Archdemons)

I found he grew on me more than he did when I used in DA:O. Personally I like to think that theres a lot more depth to him, like the moments in camp where he talks about Branka or the whole felsi/baby thing or the one I stood out the most was the comment between him and nathaniel in awakening when asked about his potential exile from orzammar how he just "drinks more and it goes away"



Then of course it all comes down in an avalanche of burps innuendo and booze

Sorry. I just can't hate on the little booger. Despite all his disgusting habits and "touchie feelie" ways he seems good hearted and geniune.



*spoiler away*





I thought his scene at his joining just too funny...had me in tears.





*end spoiler* (Not much of a spoiler but I am not taking any risks)

Oghren is the epitome of d0rf tropes. Sigrun was way cooler, I'd hit that.

Not a big fan of Oghren but I have to say that the banter between him and Anders where they were mocking each other made me chuckle.

Video games don't effect kids. If Pacman had effected kids, we'd all be running around darkend rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive techno.
