Ooh I'm glad you liked it! ^^ Who did the deed? Alistair or your dude? And who did you make king/queen?

Wow Ronin you're gonna be busy with so many playthroughs hehhehe


Til release, I plan on finishing DA2 with my Merrillmancer lady Hawke and closer to release replay DAO, DAA and DA2.

I'm thinking dwarf noble>romance Morrigan but bang all ladies possible>Anora queen>no ritual>Alistair or Loghain dies>male mage Hawke>rivalmance Fenris>mages' side

I hope you enjoy your first dwarf wardens. Dwarves are actually my favorite DA race and the two dwarf origins are the best written ones imo. Dwarf commoner has a special place in my heart.

Dat hat though on the ladyquistor (THAT HAS LONG HAIR) hnnngh

@Rune, yeah, I will be. I'll be juggling both Dragon Age and Harvest Moon. Today I'll be going through the Origins for my three characters starting with Feyghn Aeducan (Even though I don't like dwarven lore, I forgot how much I liked the dwarf noble origin) then moving on with Markus Cousland and then a female common dwarf and then moving back to Harvest Moon with Friends of Mineral Town. All of these characters will be dual wielding rogues.

It'll go something like Origins -> Harvest Moon -> Origins, etc. Once all characters have gone through Origins I'll go back to play them in Awakening and the other two DLCs then move on to DA2 where I'll have Garrett Hawke (Two Handed Sword with blood tattoo) romance Fenris, Marian Hawke (Sword and Shield without blood tattoo) romance Merrill, and then another female Hawke (Archer) romance Sebastian.

I have my human noble planned out (Romance Morrigan, rule with Anora), but not the dwarves except for that they will both be with Leliana.

As for my canon, I don't know at the moment. I thought it was originally going to be a female City Elf who romanced Zevran, had Alistair and Anora rule together and do the ritual along with a mage Hawke who romanced Isabela and sided with the Templars throughout the game until the end. Maybe after all of my other playthroughs I'll truly know what I'm going to do.

Love that lady Inquisitor picture! I will die if we get long hair that doesn't look like a plastic helmet.

I've still got to go through DAO as a human noble, a dwarf noble, and a dwarf commoner (I really don't like the dwarves or their lore in DAO) and the romances I haven't done as well (Morrigan and Leliana as both a woman and a man). In DA2 I could go through all the romances I haven't done (Sebastian, Merrill, and Fenris) as well as the classes I've yet to play (Archer, Sword and Shield, and Two Handed Sword).

I am convinced that my canon Warden is a dual wielding rogue at the least. I really should play through everything before DAI comes out. Too many games!

I've been wanting to go through the games again too, I've only played through each of them twice and I'd really like to do a human noble playthrough at least once. I also kind of want to see how the Templar route plays out in DA2 since I could never bring myself to to pick it at the end. I don't know if I'd dedicate a file just to Sebastian though.. I was able to "romance" him at the same time as another character. His friendship route might be more restrictive though?

Yeah, I'm not a fan of him or Merrill, but I've got to go through it to see if I'll like him as a romance. It'll be tough though; can't even trigger a romance dialog once with any of the other LIs.

I also think playing it multiple times will help flesh out all of our canons for the game. After all of these three playthroughs, I won't touch the games until a month before Inquisition where I'll play my canon to help remind me what happened.

I imagine I'll just use Dragon Age Keep to make data to bring forward. Just pick and choose from my favorite PC's.

I thought there was never going to be a ME4. I knew they had plans to make more games in that universe, but it would all be a new characters and such. Course the way ME3 ended it may need to be a prequel to the trilogy. Have they said more on how ME4 would follow the other games?

They've been pretty vague on ME4. I'd like it to take place sometime after ME3. Making the next trilogy (if it is one) a prequel seems too linear to me when BioWare makes games based on choice.

Bioware doesn't want it to be known as ME4 because it will not be about Shepard, but a lot of fans call it ME4 for sake of convenience. There's not much info yet, just that it will be "fresh but recognizable". There's also a few pictures of them developing the game (here) but they don't show much.

I don't mind where in time it takes place, though I'd prefer if it was way before or after Shepard's time. I'm not interested in the possibility of a million cameos or rehashing the same old characters. I think it could be difficult to have it take place after Shepard though, considering one of the endings unless they pick one canon.

^ But it is right, this isn't going to be called ME4, but we've got no other title to call it.

@Rune, didn't notice your dwarf comment until now. I just don't like their lore, politics, or how they treat their casteless, but they are interesting at least. I have gone through both dwarf origins before so I could get the achievements, but never through the entire game. I did just finish all three of the origin stories for my characters and man did I hate the dwarf commoner origin. Love to death human noble and dwarf noble, but can't stand dwarf commoner. I think it's tied with the mage origin for my least favorite. The other four I loved a lot; it's hard to pick a favorite for my canon.

Human noble has a score to settle with both antagonists of the story City elf's and dwarf noble's homes can be revisited.
and dalish elf gets mentioned a lot in DA2.

I'll end up with either a male/female human noble, a female city/dalish elf, or a male dwarf. Doesn't matter the origin, gender or race 'cause either way I'll have a dual wielding rogue as my Warden. On a side note, I learned today I can't make a decent looking male elf or female dwarf.

I did a role-play with a female Dwarf commoner and wrote it all up with pics and story:

It was one of my more interesting role-plays as you can imagine what must go through the mind of a dwarf when they first see the surface. I actually had mine sleep while hugging a rock for fear that she would fall into the sky while she slept. Going into the fade (a place dwarves never go) was another interesting aspect of being a dwarf.

Awakening apoilers

@Burns - That's pretty cute hahah.

@Brose - Grats! How did you like it?

About DA:I romances - So I think I'm pretty much over the whole set sexualities thing even if it means there's going to be options locked out from me. If they end up botching them then I might reconsider, but I think I'm over it at this point.

I didn't like playersexual as much as other people had just like how I may be the only one who doesn't really like Kaidan being changed to a bisexual option. I know he and Ashley were originally suppose to be bisexual in ME1, but I saw it as ridiculous to change his sexuality especially since FemShep got the short end of the stick with so few LIs at the end of the trilogy.

Speaking of romances and companions, anyone got a favorite companion and/or love interest from any of BioWare's games they'd like to share?

I think my favorite companion overall in the Dragon Age series has got to be Shale just for her dialog alone. Varric and Isabela are tied for my favorite companion in DA2. I'll have to edit this later after I've gone through the other romances in the game fully, but at the moment it's Zevran for DAO and Isabela for DA2.

For the Mass Effect trilogy, Kasumi Goto has to be my favorite companion and Garrus is my favorite LI. If you've played the Citadel DLC with Garrus as the LI you'll understand why I truly love him.
