Am i the only one that finds the summary at the end of the game slightly frustrating? No matter what i do it always says all the companions seperate, on one playthrough from the dialogue i went through after the archdemon’s death i got the impression that Leliana and Zevran would come travelling with me, however there is no mention of this in the epilogue. Also, am i the only person who has no mention of the Dog in my playthrough summary?
But the strangest thing i find is that on a human noble playthrough i did, i made Anora queen and then said to alistair i would stay with him and rebuild the grey wardens, yet in the summary Alistair wasnt even mentioned let alone explaining what i had agreed with Alistair in the dialogue. Anyone else had any of these things?

[...] can really open up, as there are no more fixed points it has to manoeuvre your character to. Spinks posted an interesting link to the rpg.net forums where people discuss their own endings, and I might try another playthrough [...]

I just finished the game and stumbled on this post after some googling. I would have to say I’m largely with you. The story had been so driven by character interaction that it is a pitty that there are fewer “tidy bows” at the end, especially in regards to the romance plots. This may have a lot to do with the ending I chose as well. You may know what I mean!

It’s just great to hear other people have been enjoying this game as much as I have. I’d really like to get a different take on things, as well, with another playthrough. But, in order for things to be notably different, I should probably play a “bad guy.” In Dragon Age, bad is pretty freaking bad: I’m not sure if I have it in me!

I think we have a common interest in the social potentials for this sort of game. Maybe Bioware’s “Old Republic” will capitalize on that sort of thing. I spent years and years playing WoW, and I’m not sure I can do it anymore after this sort of quality. Yet quality is always so much more enjoyable when it’s shared!

So that I don’t keep blabbing, thanks for the post! Glad to run into it, and happy replays.

Yours,
Chad

“There’s no other media than games in which you can approach a story in that way.”

The real tragedy is life isn’t like that either. Many times I would have loved to have gone back and tried a different route just to see what would have happened.

I did try to write this one without spoilers

As far as easiness goes, the mobs scale with your level so just go when you feel like it. I don’t have the Wardens Keep yet (planning to get that next week) but I have done the golem quest — do that before you finish the campaign if you’d like the golem as a companion. It’s very amusing.

I read about halfway through, and the bullet list. I was always afraid, I would read some tidbit about the ending I am not supposed.

Also: the archdemon dies at the end? OMG! You ruined it for me!

As far as your bullet list goes, I would most definitely recommend going through the origins stories, they are each about two hours anyway. I am playing as a City Elf, partly because it was one of the last origin stories I played, and partly because I liked the idea behind the story.

I have been ridiculously busy with life and other gaming pursuits in general, so in short, I have managed to visit Lothering, rescue Shale, visit RedCliffe and Denerim, and I just managed to recover the Urn of Sacred Ashes. I haven’t touched the mage tower, Orzammar, or the Brecilian Forest yet, I haven’t even brought the ashes back to Arl Eamon.

I have a feeling my journey in Dragon Age will take a lot longer than yours. Because the above mentioned has taken me a good 27 hours already. But then again, I am the guy that stops to chat to everyone, listens to the dialogue and indulges in the lore.

After this I really want to try out the Dwarf Noble campaign, just to see what the reunion with Gorim will be like.

I have a question for you: Warden’s Keep. Does it matter when you do this DLC? I don’t want to go through it if it gets too easy after completing the main campaign. If you have played it, what do you recommend?
