Either a new playthrough for me or lots of reloading of saves and going through all the options. Then again some of the choices don't have a more or less direct result, so going back to reload is not an option in that case. Oh how cool! Thalia and Leliana having matching outfits Somehow I can't remember the rhyming tree though

Elder Tree Rhymes I thought I post it cause it males me always smile - even if it is not my playthrough Brecilian Forest and the questline "the lady of the forest" is anyway one of my favorites

I probably forgot so many things now...
I remember fleeing the castle in the beginning, becoming a Warden, meeting Morrigan and Flemeth and a lot of demons. And on top of all that: fighting that Archdemon. I suppose it was all just too traumatising to remember anything else.
Btw who was your favourite romance in this game?

Well there are 2 infact , Zevran was always fun since I have a knack for rather bad guys in game I think i did chose him ( if playing a female ) the most of the times. And then Alistair - even if he sounds sometimes a bit foolish Leliana is a bit too holy for my taste and as a male I did always chose Morrigan above her and all the others. Beside the romances Morrigan is for me the best character in the game anyway ! Thalia this time did chose Alistair, cause she is a pure noble girl and she will be queen

It's funny... Zevran never really appealed to me much. Alistair would have been cool, but my playthrough was weird and so I didn't get around to that Oh and if I remember correctly I read that it was a pain to get the Leliana romance to work out? Choose one wrong dialogue option and all hope of having a romance is lost. Pretty sure I would have chosen the wrong dialogue option had I gone that way. I agree that Morrigan is the best character. Never know what to expect from her. It was really good that they brought her back for DA: Inquisition.

Yes Leliana is really a bit difficult and needs a lot of patience. If you decide to play a rather evil character you have bad bad cards with her. Means she has to stay in camp to 99 % of the time and even then it will be hard. But - with her background - the betrayal from her former love it is a wonder she didn't get bitter at all. I guess the Chantry thing was made for her

I would put the companions in the following list - just made out of memories and my lot of playthroughs : 1. MORRIGAN = the mysterious Witch of the Wilds, full of mistrust, unpredictable and beautiful. Her sharp sarcastic comments especially about Alistair let me still giggle. Best Character in the game und if you win her over as a friend just great. 2. ZEVRAN = the easy going Assassin, flirty and deadly. He has put this behavior like a shell around him. But get near to him is rewarding - as friend or lover. His witty comments let me also giggle a lot. Also a damn good companion in fights if you aren't a rogue yourself 3.ALISTAIR = well a bit of a goofy goodhearted man. But this makes him loveable, very easy to hurt. If you harden him he gets a bit more manly afterwards. A very good decision in fights and if you want to be Queen. 4.LELIANA = very religious and the totally goodie shoes girl, clinging type in relationships as well. But her background is complicated and the DLC Lelianas Song is very interesting. It explains a lot of her later behavior. 5. WYNNE = a wise old mage. Sometimes a little annoying due to her schoolmastery lectorings. But a good healer and in some fights it is good to have her along. 6.OGHREN = the drunken rowdy dwarf. Best tank you can get in the deep roads along with Alistair. Rather easy to win him over with gifts and decisions in Orzammar Questline. 7. STEN = the Qunari warrior is hard to get by. Just do your stuff, be tough-minded and you will earn his respect. If you manage to get called *KADAN* its done 8.SHALE = the stony dwarfen golem. She will call you "IT" till you get a near 100 % standing with her, but her comments and hate for birds is so funny. Also she is a good tank. The Marbari dog is playing a Minor role - but I love to have him and here some new pics MY Zevran - this mod is one of the best in DA for sure Parley with werewolfs Back in Ostagar - kill lotz of darkspawn and the Oger who killed the King. Got finally a deathblow shot ! Final Good By to King Cailan

Nice list to refresh my memories.
I remember Shale and her hatred for birds. I have the very same distaste for seagulls heh. Also loved the snarky comments she made.
Cool screenshots again.
What happened to the werewolves in your playthrough? If I remember correctly I helped them. I kinda feel sorry for the Ogre, but then again he had it coming.
That Zevran mod looks really nice btw.

Yes I sided with the wolves and the Lady. Got Zathrian in the end to lift the curse. If you want to get rid of Zevran you can side with the werewolves and let them kill the dalish tribe. I think he will never forgive you. I never feel sorry for Darkspawn.. and this one killed the King at the battle on Ostagar and got slain by Duncan, who lost his life pretty soon after. This damn darkspawn emmisary did rose him again ... Thalia didn't like this decision btw

I don't think I ever had the intention of getting rid of the Dalish or Zevran, but should I ever feel inclined to play DA again it's nice to know.
Did you play the DLC where you can play as Darkspawn? I started it, but never finished that one. Did finish all the other DLC though.

Never touched it - I just can't kill my former comrades as a darkspawn. I would feel dirty and disgusted

Maybe. I think I quit rather soon because of the weak dialogue Still, to see it all from a different perspective is an interesting thought. But maybe it would have been nicer in a setting where you don't have to go up against your former companions. I didn't even know you had to deal with them in the DLC.

Very good to know about the dialogue - still, I wont touch it anyway. Thalia's progress - Earl Eamon are healthy again, announce Alistair as the heir to the throne toward gathering Orzammar's armee get help - Oghren the rowdy drunkard a lot of scary things in the deep roads, seeing the Archdemon and the Broodmother ... ugly fight there, too getting nearer to the Anvil of the void speaking to Caridin and help him - defeating Branka in the fight - Shale approves greatly, Oghren struggles
