Did you make him king?
hurf durf feggtz git off mai vidyer
>>732101710Yes, after hardening him and conscripting his new father-in-law. Things were a little frosty for a while, but by the time Awakening happened, we were on good terms again.
>>732101916fuck
>>732101710The sword art style in Origins look like fucking steel beams
Morrigan (Best Girl) > Leliana You can not refute this.
>>732101830>>732101893>>732101916HAHA, I saw that on r/4chan too, fellow Kekistanis, Shadilay!
no he was gay
>>732102843hurf durf feggt git off mai vidyer
>>732102676Who even likes leliana
>>732101710Sometimes
>>732106658Sure, when the mood strikes me.
>>732101710Alistar needs to be hardened. For his own sake.
>>732102676Morrigan > all video game girls.
>>732101710He really is a fatherless bastard who was completely bitch made by the chantry. Fuck no, he fought in only a loin cloth until he stopped being a pussy.
>>732107925Calm down, Loghain, it's not like there's a line of people willing to dive on the grenade that is your barren sow of a daughter.
>>732107695Even when hardened, he's still a nice guy, which some people are all too willing to take advantage of. Like the rebel mages - he granted them asylum and let them squat on his uncle's lands, and they repaid him by throwing out his uncle and making a deal with the Tevinter Imperium.
He's a mongrel. Average human is more related to Maric than him. So no, I beheaded him and married Anora.
quads
>>732108376Mages, huh? Figures.
>>732107695He should be castrated and raped.
>>732101710Unhardened King Alistar. Married to Anora.
>>732101710oops.>Unhardened King Alistar. Married to Anora.
>>732101710Nah I always side with the other dude. It's my favorite trope when a villain becomes your party member.
>>732101710Yes. with noble femwarden as queen.
>>732109976She’s probably better at it than Alistair if you’re not willing to take the throne. There’s nothing about his personality that comes off as being politically capable. Let her handle the nobles and he keeps the commoners in love with the monarchy with his simpleton sensibilities.
>>732110310If you harden him, he actually shapes up pretty well, learning how to handle the court and actually govern. Though he's still beloved by the people, and he makes it a point to ensure he and Anora are seen as a united front, which pleases the people even more.
>>732101710Hurf durf faggitz git off mai vidyer
>>732110601I wish, but Alistar can't marry Anora since he always kills Loghain in order to avenge Duncan.
>>732101710I honestly don't remember. I remember having not Snape making the heroic sacrifice so that I could kill him off and let everybody else live. Morgana or whatever her name is was never an option.
>>732110684Morgana is a cat.
>>732102676I prefer her gilfy mother.
>>732110883Why swamp with hot?
>>732101710hurf durf feggtz git off mai vidyeralso i've had enough playthroughs of the game to do all possibly outcomes for him, iirc. so yeah, i did make him king a couple of times.
>>732106327Me. I do.
>>732101830fippybippy
dragon age origins was revolutionary in that it gave you a world in 3d, allowing you to further immerse yourself
>>732110883GILF mother in law is simply another pro in the Morrigan column
The Origins in dragon age revolutionized the RPG experience The only reason it didn't take over gaming is because it took too much time and effort. That is how good it is. It is too hard to replicate.
>>732111083>being at dinner with your wife (Morrigan) and your gilfy mother in law starts playing footsies with you under the table
I'm still not sure how I feel about my tomboy waifu getting downgraded. On one hand, it's an obvious downgrade, but on the other, looking at western female models today, it could've been so much worse.
>>732101710>Did you make him king?No. I let Loghain live and let him sacrifice himself to save the kingdom and I became King because I was a noble.
>>732112039It is the only way to save the kingdom. The only moral choice.
>>732101710I love this world. Great human lore. The Mages. The Templars. The Chantry.Great dwarf lore. The Caste system. The golems. The stone sense. Great elf lore. The forest tribes. The ancient magiks. The slavery.
Would fuck into oblivion
>>732108376His mom was there being all BPD
>>732102843You aren't funny.
>>732101710Yes, only to give him the worst ending and then he dies off anyway in Veilguard.
>>732109898Queen Cousland or nothing
>>732110053Kino ending. Every single playthrough.
>>732113347DA:TV is fanfiction. No one on that team is from the original
>>732113347Did that game just take a huge shit in all previous three? Everyone in Ferelden is dead?How do they fuck up Morrigan? She's in it.
>>732113252you wake up and find yourself in a cell and an elf of ashy complexion you've never seen before starts yelling slurs at you. you've brought this upon yourself.
>>732113523I come back and kill him anyway
>>732113472>what happened to Morrigan. The only thing I know is they fucked up her design. Four breasts and a quarter-mask? What the fuck were they thinking?!I shudder to think about all the stupid shit they made her say.
>>732113046That world is dead, son.
>>732113607Tragic. At least it killed the studio too. These writers and game designers and CEO/HR department all need to go.
>>732101710No I exiled him to a life of getting drunk in random bars and making a scene. No clue what happened to him after that because I never played Inquisition and Veilguard looks somehow even worse.
>>732114421DA:TV shares 0 (ZERO!) gameplay mechanics with Dragon Age. Including the dialogue and companion relationship mechanics!It is a whole different game wearing the Dragon Age name as a skinsuit. All so corporate can trick more people into buying it.
>>732110883>>732111241I know a guy irl who’s in a relationship with an old lady despite being in his mid 20’s. Sounds like he’ll
>>732113046Just a great interpretation of the basic fantasy races. Qunari are also a great addition.
Have you ever licked a lampost in winter?
>>732116080Where did that come from? I thought I was on a totally different board for a minute.
>>732116326I just got here. And I'm not a virgin like Allistair.
>Origins could've been a standalone gameIt's depressing how hard the series was raped and even then DA2 and Inquisition had some good things about them, but to end it all with the unbelievable piece of fucking dogshit that was Veilguard? I wouldn't wish that on any franchise.
>>732116809Just pretend Veilguard isn't real, and only Origins had enjoyable gameplay.
>>732111854She can be hideous in one angle but then really cute in another
>>732113472>Did that game just take a huge shit in all previous three? Everyone in Ferelden is dead?they basically say the entire south is a blighted hellscape and it's comically obvious they just wanted to wipe the slate clean on worldstates in the most fuck you way possible. because even the way they did it makes no sense, you're telling me that the north fighting blight armies led by two elven gods is mostly okay yet the south is fucked so bad it's almost post apocalyptic in many areas? beyond stupidat the same time the way they conveyed this through letters is easily retconnable, and the game is tonally inconsistent because at the same time Harding can go on a picnic in Fereldan which makes zero sense if it's the hellscape we hear it is.>How do they fuck up Morrigan? She's in it.she's not exactly fucked up imo just bland and boring. >>732116809just pretend your inquisitor convinced Solas not to be a retard like the rest of us
>>732102676>>732106327Leliana is perfect. Beautiful voice and accent. Peak trad wife material
Making him king is the most logical choice but alot of people probably don’t do it because they forget to do his fake sister quest or they do it but try not to crush his demeanor. But having his as king is the biggest improvement for him and Ferelden at large. Not to mention all the support a Warden/King can give to the cause. Alternatively making him king but having him do the final sacrifice also martyrs him heavily and makes him an almost living legend.
>>732117245Arguably the best ending is hardening him before you make him king. And it's hard at the time, but it's just the best way.
His real mother is an elven mage terrorist btw.
>>732110675He only kills Loghain is if you pick Alistair for the duel. Anyone else and you can choose to kill him or not. If you spare him, Alistair will only become king if hardened, and will leave the party regardless (and you'll get the Anora version of the cutscenes after).
>>732117345Maric had a thing for elven pussy. Duncan knew about it as well.
>>732117345abic kadiction. that is just fanfiction.
>>732117345>cucks Loghain and bangs his crush>then cheats on his wife with an elf Do all members of royalty just fuck what they can regardless of what morals stand in their way?
God I loved Origins so much, I couldn't wait for more games.At least BG3 is kind of a spiritual successor but no other games tries it and Avowed sucksMaybe now that Veilguard crashed and burned more studios will try to do better amd then it'll be Skyrim-likes's turn when EO6 crashes and burns hopefully
The one good thing about DA:TV is how hard it failed.
>>732101710funny enough I just finished the base game. I made him marry Anora but I fucked up and didn't harden him so he was a dipshit king. here's a screenshot of Sten going to war in his regular clothing because I never gave him any gear. I later put him in charge of the other group, and controlled him while he punched things. gonna start awakening in a bit, haven't played it since I first played it on 360 so it'll be interesting to see how it holds up. I already like the new talents.
>>732117706Sten fighting with nothing is pretty funny. He even has a personal quest to retrieve his prized sword.
>>732117706why is your bozo crying in the portrait
>>732117969because he is a mage
>>732117706>>732117321If you make unhardened Alistair sole king and choose to become chancellor, your character becomes the de facto ruler.>[Warden], as Alistair's chancellor, was the face most often seen at court. In truth, the chancellor ruled the nation, and did so with King Alistair's blessing. Whenever the chancellor left Denerim on personal affairs, the business of the court effectively came to a standstill.
>>732117985kek
>>732117162How did they handle Morrigan being basically indentured to Solas?
>>732102676>>732106327I liked Frenchie. Didn't think Morrigan had any redeeming qualities beyond being hot and voiced by Claudia Black. Makes sense if you're just fuck buddies or smooching on an evil playthrough, but I couldn't actually take her anywhere without her getting pissed off that I didn't murder every other lost child that we met.
>>732101710>Hail, King Alistar! Praise Andraste! Maker bless all Ferelden!>Exceptin the mages of course, sera. >Aye, sir knight. Except for the mages.
>>732106327Leliana for the female Hero. Morrigan for the male Hero. That's how it should be played.
>>732118770Morigan is just practical and self-confident. She can mellow out and she can be reasoned with.She has her own goals and her own duty but man, she really does love you.
>>732118938>would rather do yuri than be queen
Of course not, he's a stupid whiny weak boy. I became King and bred Anora while keeping Leliana as a sidechick and also breeding Morrigan for good measure
>>732119297Couslandchads
>>732113335I laughed cause I nearly forgot about that election tourist cancer. Electionfags should know their place and they should always be made fun of.
>>732114741Sounds like he'll what?
>>732101710Anora solo queen. Wardens dgaf. I was there to kill Howe, Loghain and the Archdemon.
Is this the hardest fight in the series?I swear she's impossible to beat without the Arcane Warrior/Blood Mage build
>>732111053>gave you a world in 3dare you one of those retards who thinks movies are more immersive than books?
>>732101710I played all the different choices and I hated him in every single one
ENCHANTMENT?!ENCHANTMENT!!!!1!!
>>732120553even with the arcane warrior/blood mage build I had a hard time until I just kited her into anora's room and ganged up on her. she's probably the toughest enemy in the base game by a country mile, once you take her out the rest of the bozos in the lobby are easy pickings.
>>732120553The trick is to kite her away from the group and kill her. Maybe cast a blizzard before hand so the others wont follow. Cant really remember how i did it.
Alistair and Morrigan's personalities annoyed me the first time I played DA:O, but on my second playthrough I realized the characters are actually like 18-19 years old and they make way more sense then. They are just voiced by 40 year olds.
>>732114741SOUNDS LIKE HE'LL WHAT?WHAT WILL HE DO ?
>>732102843Shadilay, shadilay, la mia libertàShadilay, shadilay, oh noOh-oh, shadilay, shadilay, oh sogno o realtàShadilay, shadilay, oh noVola nella mia vita, no non è finitaIo mi fermeròSciogli le mie vele nel cielo e in fondo al mareIo ti prenderòShadilay, shadilay, la mia libertàShadilay, shadilay, oh noOh-oh, shadilay, shadilay, oh sogno o realtàShadilay, shadilay, oh noVola nella mia vita, no non è finitaIo mi fermeròSciogli le mie vele nel cielo e in fondo al mareIo ti prenderò
>>732116809>>732116968So,are they ever gonna release an official memory fix patch?
>>732121095Morrigan is actually in her late 20s though
>>732101710no he's a dumbass without spine, everyone would walk all over him
>>732117530Americans (And Canadians, who are just snow Americans) are obsessed with cuckoldry for some reason
>>732120553Its doable on any class provided you aren’t a fuckup and specced proper abilities, made potions, or even bombs. Have the tank pull everyone. Cast that spell that makes them immobile/immune to damage. Throw a shitton of bombs, coat weapons in poison, use large scale AOE of any kind.
>>732121423no
>>732118770She is much nicer than what you give her credits for. Sure she has anti hero attitude and talked a bunch of cryptic shit instead of just admitting that she was horny in the night before the finale, but ultimately she was a good mother and didn't use her son for nefarious purposes. The true conclusion of DAO Morrigan romance route can be seen in Witch Hunt DLC, it was revealed that she didn't actually mean it and her feelings toward you was real, but she had to runnaway from her mother.
>>732117204>trad wife material
>>732122226Female warden can be the husband. Win win.
>>732101830opened this thread just to see if this was the first reply >>732102843i was there
>>732121582YesOne of the lore guide books puts her date of birth around 9:00 to 9:05 Dragon
>>732116809Nah, Inquisition was trash, and we debated for years if DA 2 was worth peeing on, if it was on fire. Veilguard is just a goblin taking a dump on the grave of a noble.
>>732101710I have him shot to the fucking face with crossbows for even daring to question me for a moment after dumping all responsibility on my lap then washing his hands of the matter until convenient for him.
>>732122895It is amusing how DA has only 1 good game inspite of it having 4 games in total.
>>732101710No, I became king
>>732123624Calm down Loghain.
>>732123680>1 good gameDebatable.Origins is only good in the context of the (C)RPG scene at the time, when nothing was being made. When compared to older or newer game in the same genre DA:O is simply lacking.
Quads
No. I always make Anora queen so that I can listen to her riveting speech again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHKeDwi0DgA
>>732123873I can appreciate it for being a crpg instead of some braindead action game with loots. I do agree that it could have been better with more variants of endings instead of the same dragon boss fight with slightly different outcomes. The evil choices are still quite fun though, one of the rare game that allows you to kill a kid.
>>732124075I love how she is just such a textbook politican. She can do the diplomatic stuff with no problem, but the momment she tries to be relatable to her people, it comes off as dogshit.

>>732106327Me, I'm the rare Morriganfag who isn't heavily triggered by Leliana's mere existence and think she's the second best girl in DA
>>732124743>Modding is le bad!
>>732118595She just brings Mythal to give him a pep talk and that's it
>>732122587Which one? Which page?
>>732118595No one is indentured to Solas because the Well of Sorrows choice isn't imported/selectable at all.They should have gone with their original plan, having Solas control the drinker and force them to kill Flemeth in DAI's epilogue, but they pussied out of that.
>>732124743booged.
>>732124075A hole governing Ferelden can only lead to disaster
>>732124075Pretty sure she gives the same speech as Alistair
>>732126059Alistair doesn't screech or refer to Cailan as his husband, but otherwise you're correct.
>>732126059Alistair's delivery is much betterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2f9sVe9RR8

>>732124150>one of the rare game that allows you to kill a kid.I thought I was mercy killing the child, so much suffering and death already in the castle and town that I had to end source now.
haven't played anything past 2, so what's the deal with sandal?

>>732129525Never explain. He didn't show up in Inquistion but there are some notes about what seem to be his exploit. It does hint that Dwarves can do magic originally with the DLC where you find a titan.
>>732129754Fuck no. Everyone suck and I can't trust anyone with the thing. The only one I could trust killed himself after the boss fight,
2009 morrigan vs leanne waifu wars, it was a different time
I actually like romance with Josephine
>>732129754Hell no. His creator was a bro and made solid arguments. And the only other option was to leave it with a mentally insane woman who first cheated on his husband with another woman and then left that woman to a fate worse than death. you will be hard pressed to find a greater gathering of red flags
>>732101710Why is Mage Arcane Warrior Battlemage + inferno blizzard and tempest the most fun spellsword class in all of video games?Even trying to make a class like this in baldurs gate and pathfinder is straight up impossible.
>>732119297>bred Anorauhhh
>>732109076>quadseverytime
>>732101710Yes but more importantly I cucked the elf in the dalish camp
>>732123873Wrong. DA:O stands the test of time and is much better then the majority of other crpg.
>>732129754Yes. It is the sensible choice.You have an army to beat. The Dwarves are under constant attack by them. The only moral issue is that the golem procedure is secret and can be done against the sacrifices will. But you can take a charcoal rubbing of their names and submit it to the Shaperate. You make the golem procedure public knowledge. Removing that moral dilemma.
>>732129754As a Dalish elf, it would be hypocritical to destroy a culture's ancient relics.
>>732101710yes>>732135041thismuch better than current gayshit
>>732125176World of Thedas vol 2.I don't exactly remember the page, but the article about Morrigan states that first time she was seen in the public by a templar spotting her at “no more than twelve years of age.” It then says she didn’t reappear until “a number of years later” in 9:20 Dragon as a young woman.
>>732101710nope, my character + Anora
Why is almost all of Morrigan's porn /ss/?
Nah I told him to fuck off and married Anora myself and got Loghain as my father in law he insists I knock up his daughter. Then I ran off after Morrigan and followed her through the mirror to get my happily ever after.
>>732121475It's literally the state sport of Scandinavia and France.
>>732118963Morrigan's not even practical. There are multiple quests where I can make a deal with people to help them in order to get what I want, directly benefitting both parties (like telling the blacksmith I'll keep an eye out for his daughter while at a castle I'm already planning to go to anyway in immediate exchange for weapons) and she doesn't respect your pragmatism, she's mad that you don't go out of your way to be a dick. >>732122132>but ultimately she was a good mother and didn't use her son for nefarious purposesYeah post-character development in the sequel. She still disapproves if you don't sell children to demons in Origins.
>>732129484It depends on the attitudes you chose for Warden. You can absolutely make him looks super evil while killing Conor.
>>732101710I did pretty much every possible combination
>>732129754Seemed wrong to keep it because it would inevitably be used against people's will. Plus, from a meta-gaming perspective it's not like Golems like Shale are infinitely stronger than anyone else you fight. Maybe in better circumstances it could have been repurposed to give a body to volunteers, like those who can't walk anymore, or soldiers too old to keep fighting, but that didn't seem to be the intent.
>>732140636Not even in the sequel, just the DLC already confirmed that she never wanted Kieran to be anything other than her son. Warden can follow her and raise the kid together if you romanced Morrigan previously. She would look alot more sinister if you didn't romance her because she kept saying cryptic stuff without admitting anything.
>>732141114>she never wanted Kieran to be anything other than her sonI found that very difficult to believe that a magic ritual was needed for conception if that was her one and only intent.
>>732141107Golem is such a useless creation because they can't kill archdemon like Grey Warden and the super strength is already a Qunari's thing.
>>732141257It is not a regular ritual. Only she knows how to prevent a Warden from dying after killing the archdemon. Even if you deny her booty call, she didn't try to kill you or anything, only disappointed that you have chosen death.
>>732141257>I found that very difficult to believe that a magic ritual was needed for conception if that was her one and only intent.Aren't Warden sterile? Or at least very hard to conceive a child.
>Dwarf noble playthrough>Suffer the family squabbles >Return to Orzammar after being ousted>Immediately head straight to the preacher and get Christianity installed in the cityEnjoy your crusade you fucks
>>732141630She doesn't try to kill you, she just abandons the party the second that you don't give her what she wants, even though your group is literally fighting to save the entire world.
>>732101710Yes the infertile queen seemed like too much of an annoying girlboss
>>732142035Nearly sterile, but that's not all the ritual is for. She explicitly wants her child to be conceived by a grey warden. Otherwise she could have just got knocked up by Zevran if having a child was all she really cared about.
>elves were slavemasters>old god dragons were elven slave god familiars>archdemons are the old god dragons>elves were controlled by the mystery shadow cabal illuminati niggas>morrigan is the daughter of elven slave god>morrigans son is reincarnated old god dragon>morrigan's baby dady is tainted by an archdemon's bloodI don't know what this means
>>732142256Because she knows you are gonna win and die from it without the ritual. You are dead to her by that point and that made her lost the motivation to stay. Just play her royalty missions and you will understand her abit more. Morrigan is not as malicious as you think.
>>732141282Golems are extremely useful. When the Dwarves used to have seven kingdoms when they had golems. Now they dont and they're reduced to one
>>732141282Golems are there to grind armies of darkspawn underground into the deep roads. They wouldn't even be as yseful if the dwarves turned into holems were all turned into wardens instead
>>732142737DA lore is pretty stupid, DA:O has good character writing and that's it
>>732101710Yes, because I hated Loghain and the hag Anora.
>>732142750That's determinant. She offers the choice regardless of whether or not she likes you, and she abandons the group before battle regardless of whether or not it's you, Alistair, Loghain, or Riordan on the actual chopping block. She doesn't stay with the party to help ensure one outcome happening over the other, she leaves to find another grey warden to have sex with.
>>732135041>DA:O stands the test of timeIt was ugly to look at back then, and it's even uglier now. Older (i.e. Icewind Dale) and newer (Pillars of Eternity) CRPGs are a lot better to look at.The animations were outdated when it came out.>much better then the majority of other crpgMechanically it's very uninteresting. The great divide between classes makes it so you really have only one class option if you want to have fun, which sadly restricts you to play the most boring origin.On that note, I give full credit to Origins for its origins system. There are very few games bold enough to give you a completely different starting mission and location depending on character background (influenced by both race and class).The story is a Bioware special that you've played basically every time you touched one of their games: Ancient Evil Awakens. It works, but I don't care too much about it.The setting itself is the biggest joke of them all, not even the writers were willing to treat it seriously (Thedas= THE Dragon Age Setting) and it's a very lame amalgam of other settings without an ounce of creativity.Just admit that you only like it for the gay sex cutscenes and we can move on.
>>732144063I like >>732130913Its more fun than any other mage in any other rpg.
>>732116809Still refreshing Morrigan porn updates every other weekThat is as far as my interest in DA still goes after what was done to it
>>732143437Have you see how political they are? Literally killing each other just because the other lost an election. No wonder their society gone to shit, no need for the Darkspawn to rape them.
>>732144274As I said, one class option.In turn, limiting your racial options to only 2 out of 3 with both of them sharing the same exact background thus losing out on actually interesting interactions like Human Noble, Dwarf (Commoner and Noble) and City Elf.
>>732144628But dalish elf rogue is also fun
>>732101710>tell soft-Alistair to fuck off>kill Loghain>marry Anora>keep hardened-Leliana as a mistress (also threesome with Isabel)>have hot ritualistic baby making sex with Morrigan>kill the archdemon>seek out Morrigan in the DLC and join her into the mirrorToo bad the series is woke as hell form the start and you can't force our loving but clearly manipulative and egotistical wife Anora to have babies with you. Can the Grey Wardens even have children? I don't remember.
>>732144675The only part I like about it is that you have a real reason to go with Duncan and not just bail while on the road. Everything else is a bit of a mess, and you don't really get to follow up on the starting event/scenario unlike every other origin does.
>>732141114>>732141630the main reason for the ritual is the save the Old One's soul not for the guardian to survive, it's just a side effect
>>732144947>have hot ritualistic baby making sex with Morrigan>Can the Grey Wardens even have children?What do you think?
>>732142131>>immediately head straight to the preacher and get Christianity installed in the cityshow me the nose, rabbi
>>732145105bro, you're having sex with a witch that can do practically anything. If I remember correctly, the blood of Grey Wardens is completely corrupted/tainted, equal to that of Dark Spawn which is why you can sense them and they can sense you.
>>732144947Grey wardens can have kids but it's nearly impossible if both parents are grey wardens. Technically through morrigan's ritual both Kieran's dad and grandma could be grey wardens.
>>732144628One class option? Maybe if you're a shitter. If you cant make the other classes strong you suck at the game. I didnt read the longer post yet but there is no way you're using a personal skill-issue as some kind of critique of DA:O
>>732145301Do we even know exactly what Morrigan did during the ritualistic sex for her to be able to conceive a child with a grey warden that could absorb the spirit of a god?
>>732145283Nah darkspawn taint turns you into a ghoul if you live, but wardens are that plus archdemon blood which is both worse taint-wise but also more survivable. Darkspawn are born from broodmothers which are a type of ghoul. Genlocks are from dwarf broodmothers, hurlocks are from human broodmothers, ogres are from qunari broodmothers. Theres more genlocks because dwarves are attacked more often.
>>732145357>I didnt read the longer postConcession accepted.
>>732145510
>>732101710for whatever reasons the steam version crashes constantly, so I switched over to Nier Replicantthe combat wasn't great, but I was enjoying the story a lot
>>732145510It probably has a lot to do with the body-swapping mythal/flemeth was doing, mixed with the act of pregnancy, but the main mechanic was that some warden taint is passed down during pregnancy and the archdemon soul finds the closest tainted being to inhabit. The rest of the ritual was preventing the baby from turning back into a tainted dragon.
>>732145731And with how easily flemeth could take the archdemon soul from Kieran, while leaving him alive and perfectly healthy, the soul was probably completely isolated within his body.
>>732145723No there is a mod or something that actually gets it to work properly.
>>732129754No but thats only because Shale asked me to destroy it.
Yes, but I was in a weird place at the time and it all turned out horribly wrong. >After sister mission, tried to reassure him because he was my bro. So wasn't hardened>Wanted him to be king because it was technically his birthright, but wasn't sure he could do it alone. So I had him marry Anora>When Morrigan came up with her "knock me up to save your life" plan, I was with Leliana and didn't want to cheat. So I convinced Alistair to do it in my place, even though they hated each other. At least we both get to live, right? >Finish game with everyone alive, my bro is king, and all is well. So good ending achieved! Except when I later thought about all of it together, I realized what I had done to him. I had left him soft and unable to really think for himself. I locked him in a loveless marriage with a cold bitch who will most likely have him assassinated at some point in revenge for her dad. He will be king in name only, as his stronger willed queen takes over all the decision making. Then, I had him let the swamp witch he hated rape him so I could nope out of the self sacrifice part of the warden oath. Then she leaves forever, taking the bastard child with her, that he will never see or meet. Considering his desire for family (as expressed in the sister mission) I really can't see him being ok with this. At all. I ruined his life and future happiness, all so I could acquire ginger holy waifu, and run off into the sunset as the hero, leaving him alone. With Anora and his regrets. This was my good guy play through. I was not a good friend.
>>732146590Ehhhh good reason for the hero of ferelden to be off in the deep roads for the next 20 years trying to cure ghoulification so alistair could live longer.
>>732145510Fingered his butt.
>>732101710first playthrough regrettably yes.2nd playthrough I became king, and he became a drunk3rd playthrough I let him be the one to absorb the archdemon and die
>>732145578I'll get to it later, maybe. I notice you have no reply for the shitter take. Won't that be embarrassing if you really think there is only one class option?
>>732149230>if you really think there is only one class option?I don't. You're hallucinating things in order to get a lazy gotcha.What is actually embarrassing is being unable to read and/or follow a conversation. This is the last (You) for you, beggar.
I want to replay Origins but I never played it with any mods before so this time I want to try out those. I know it has as lot so does it have any good full packages or do I have to check some guide and go one by one a 100 mods like I did with the KOTOR games?
>>732113046One of few instances where the magic and the mages actually feel dangerous both narratively and gameplay-wise (only in Origins)
crazy that I beat it literally like 6 times back in the day and now I REMEMBER FUCKING NOTHING
>>732113046and then they fucked it up by the DA2
>>732151126I remember 3 playthroughs at least what I did with the ending >>732149092but I remember very little about what choices I made otherwise.I just know that the first playthrough I went with Morrigan, 2nd and 3rd Leliana all the way
>>732102843mind-to-the-broken
>>732151602>I remember 3 playthroughs at least what I did with the ending I think I played every background/race and probably got every ending but I dont even remember what the endings are
I like how Morrigan's default outfit clearly doesn't have her wearing a bra, but she owns a bra and puts it on for having sex
>>732151126I still remember thinking that the elvish keeper from the werewolf forest was voiced by Tuvok from star trek Voyager, but I never looked it up to check. Still havent, all these years later.
>>732114741will what anon WILL WHAT
>>732151785dont wanna get those titties too cold in those tents
>>732151770I played all humanHuman Noble Warrior, then Human Noble Thief, and then a Human Mage for the 3rd.I played the origin stories for the other races and just wasn't interested in them enough to keep with them.I know my motivation for the 2nd Human Noble was literally to cuck Alistair.Like I did the first playthrough with Alistair becoming king and just felt bad about the whole ordeal because I hated that quippy shit.So 2 playthroughs were inspired to make Alistair suffer
Wasn't a fan of Inquisition but I liked Cassandra.
>>732150495Quinn's ultimate fix and Daine's fix are both mod bundles.Personally, I know that the only thing you really need is the 4gb patch, the 2Handed bug fix and the sexy outfit replacer.
DAO remake when
>>732151431Not really. Qunari were handled really well. I dont recall any particular issues with the elves and Dwarves. Except maybe red lyrium, though that didn't seem like an issue to me. Just darkspawn corrupting one more thing.
>>732149579>The great divide between classes makes it so you really have only one class option if you want to have fun, which sadly restricts you to play the most boring origin.>As I said, one class option.So, you just didnt mean any of this? I guess if I was a shitter too I'd lie like that. It must seem like the only option you have left.
>>732139182I fucking wish it was
>>732144063It looks great. You wouldn't know but for the others reading just think about the scenic elven forest or the Dwarven city lit by flowing lava. The people look good too.Mechanically it is the peak of the genre. RTWP is turn-based and real time perfectly fused. Most contemporaries don't allow you to set automated actions for your party to take either. The leveling system is deep and allows for all kinds of unorthodox builds like full DEX warrior or STR based mage. The story is good and its nice we agree on one thing.The setting is great with their own twist on the standard races as well as the inclusion of their own hyper-militaristic society. Typically, Elves are never the lower class, Dwarves don't have caste systems and mages arent restricted by abomination risk or church control. To claim the setting isn't creative is absurd. You dont seem capable of judging this game rationally.It also has the best romance in gaming history, Morrigan & Warden. Get the cum out of your eyes and try to think.
Alistair and Hans from KCD2 both have this thing where you can convince them to BEGRUDGINGLY accept their nobility and a forced-marriage.>"Bro.. What about my choice? Even if a marriage conveniently fixes everything, don't I get a say?">GET MARRIED, GET MARRIED, GET MARRIED!
>>732102843kill yourself
What origin is the best for doing the most evil playthrough possible?
>>732152704Same. I hate on DA:I frequently but the story writing and character writing were pretty good. Take Sera for example. The writers fully commit to her personality and it isnt compromised on even when you up your relationship with her
>>732113046My plan was to get rich and buy the IP to reboot it from the end of DA:O onwardsI'm 3k in debt rn it's not going well
>>732158992City Elf by far. You get to sacrifice your own people from the Alienage in a blood magic ritual.Technically any origin can do it but it doesn't really hit the same way.
>>732155651Im going to guess he suffers from skill issueDragon Age is one of the easier Bioware rpgs
>>732120553Any character with high enough defense can easily solo her encounter.
>>732152704Too bad shes in the dragon age game i didnt finish
>>732102843cringe
>>732159038DA:I is the game where the rot fully set in, story was bad and retconing. They made much too much between characters adventuring dialouge instead of making any of it matter.
>>732102843Look at ye, postin cringe.
>>732101710I tried all choices but my favored one is unhardened warden.My main (head)-canon has the warden respect him enough to not twist his personality or force him into a position he doesn't want while being savvy enough to think leaving Anora by herself is dangerous so he bites the bullet and chains her down though a political marriage while sacrificing his own romantic happiness with Morrigan.
>>732101710Of course.
>>7321028434cucks didnt like this one
>>732159557Any character that can hit around 125-135 defense is basically immune to everything besides grab attacks and elemental effects, and those can be mitigated with armor and resistances, respectively.
>>732159038A pity that her personality is utterly repellant, romanced or otherwise.
>>732154630Never, anon. It took almost fifteen years for the first Mass Effect to get a remake, and EA actually likes those games. They've only ever begrudgingly tolerated Dragon Age.
>>732129754The incentives for keeping it far outweigh destroying it>can only gain branka’s support by keeping it>army of golems to use for final battle >orzamar has thousands of casteless scum who need to be put to better use>caradin’s research gets rediscovered anyway even if you destroy the anvil I have a blight to end, and every resource helps.
>>732162614Yeah but Branka goes crazy and the dwarves as shown by any player in any capacity are sociopathic and corrupt. This was the reason it was sealed away in the first place. You disagree with some asshole politician and he has you grafted to golem stone for life.
>>732162726Without orzamar, the darkspawn would spill into the surface. I don’t care if their societal structure can be harsh when greater things are at risk for everyone if their civilization falls.
>>732162726The lives of the dwarves is a sacrifice that I'm willing to make.
>>732162316Just seems to be the right time for it considering the massive successes of BG3 and E33
>>732164635If the dwarves have a golem army they can march on our cities. Better to keep those midgets busy with the darkspawn.
>>732152704Inquisition's quest design was bland MMO tier and it feels like things like the Qunari are awkwardly retconned to score more diversity points, but I don't think I gave the actual writing enough credit until I was able to compare it to Veilguard
>>732162316wtf they remade mass effect? whats the fucking point even
>>732166895To see if there was any lingering goodwill left in the brand after the disaster that was Andromeda. Apparently it actually surpassed EA's sales expectations.
>>732166552Well, Veilguard being ass doesn't retroactively make Inquisition great. The high point was definitely Trespasser, but goddamn is the game a slog before then.
>>732167192is it good if I played ME and ME 2 long time ago and dont remember shit?
>>732167483Sure, if you really feel like paying for the game again.
>>732102843Mindbroken, underaged AND Brown. bad combo
>>732106327It's weird that Morrigan has a son storyline baked in but not Leliana with a CouslandOld Bioware fucked up bigly
>>732167738>paying for the gameheh
>>732168106To be fair, Morrigan is trying for a son. Meanwhile, I imagine Leliana had herself sterilized for bard training or something horrific and Orlesian.
>>732156873It's a nobility thing to this day
>>732168282She was a sex spy (honeypot) and lesbian until she was betrayed, then she larped as a nun until she became the female pope.No different from Flemeth getting Chasind dick while Morrigan watched in horror.Bioware fucked up by not giving her a Cousland kid if romanced.
>>732165578>BioWare buckbroken by Witcher 2's success, shoots itself on the foot with DA2>BioWare buckbroken by Witcher 3's success, shoots itself on the foot with DA Inquisition >BioWare buckbroken by Baldurs Gate 3's success shoots itself on the foot with DA Veilguard They seethe as they produce slop
>>732169019Dragon Age 2 came out two months before Witcher 2, anon. And Inquisition came out six months before Witcher 3.
>>732169125They closely followed development and complained on BioWare social and Twitter to no end. Rent free.Why do you think they added partial nudity to Inquisition.They were also seething at Skyrim. Hence all the dragons. They really tried making Inquisition less bland than 2 but all it ended up being was a single player MMO with mobile game quests. Veilguard is a mobile game with nice hair physics in gay ass cutscenes
>>732169125Also, Witcher 3 was delayed a year. BioWare always tried to beat them to the punch to no avail
Morrigan sexo
>>732159770Everyone in the dragon age "fandom" goes on about the iron bull and dorian stuff as if it's some major plotBut it's just shitty party banter that never triggers because the entire system is bugged lol
SOUND...
>>732170698..MY ESCAPE!>abloo bloo boo. Oh I hope they dont fowow us... oooo
Member going into that brothel and fuggin that nug? I member.
>>732102676Leliana sucks so sure
>>732170337Nigga, i said they talked too much. Youre projecting here
>>732102676the women in this game are shit
>>732172936 (me)*Except for your party members, Anora, Isolde, the chantry sisters, Branka, Oghren's other girl, the dalish origin Keeper, Alistar's sister and that one blood mage you can choose to spare in the Circle tower.
>>732106327she's french
>>732170337>Wizard from wizard land>oh shit we're going to get some lore>I left because I'm gay and my dad doesn't like me cause I'm gay and I don't him because I'm gay and he wants to pray my gay awayBRAVO
>>732102843Trying too hard
>>732129754No, it's the retard's choice.
>>732101710Sure because I let him duel Loghain at the Landsmeet for his payback since I got my payback on that faggot Howe as a Human Noble.
>>732101710Anora is a power hungry, politicking cunt who will leave Ferelden in an unstable position after her passing if she is left to rule alone, and this is by far the worst option. Hardened Alistar marrying Anora or Hardened Alistar marrying female human noble Warden are probably the best options for Ferelden’s stability.
>>732174637Anora is positioned extremely poorly as a potential ruler because she already has been the defacto ruler and it led to the events of DAO's plot (Loghain + Howe taking over and usurping her, letting the Blight run across Ferelden unchecked, literal slavery).
>>732169019Inquisition was more of a Skyrim ripoff
>>732111053>>732111174 AI chatbots on my 4chan? It's more likely than you think
>>732176904I know the Origins post is based and real.
>>732165956>city's Shit, I meant to say "our Aravels". fuckin dwarves
>>732144947>panties under stockingsStop this retardation.
>>732176661Yeah, it was pretty shameless. They even did the helm thing prominently in the marketing
>>732176661>Dragon Age: Origins>Dragon Age: 2>Dragon Age: Inquisition>DA:TVAnd now Dragon Age: Racing! As long as it has Dragon Age in the name its a dragon age game, right? Right?Fuck them. I'm glad they killed their studio.
>>732101710Yes
