Dragon Age

[the_mango55]

Every 100 years is an "Age" and they give each age a name in the 99th year of the last age.

They were going to name the current age after Orlais because they were so powerful at the time (this was when they still controlled Ferelden I think) but the sighting of a High Dragon when they thought they were basically extinct made them change their minds.

 

[~Beren~]

Well, I play/played as female... You don't expect Dragon Age has technology to have female/female pregnacy??

Interesting.

Not something I had expected when it comes to playing a female character. It's just enough to make me consider playing as one just to see how different the storyline is.

Correction* Alistair yes? I doubt that Morrigan would raise the child to want petty Ferelden's throne, I'm thinking world domination, or worse. I'd guess that if they don't elaborate on the story in an expansion, then the Morrigan - Grey Warden child plot will be the canon of the sequel. My 2 pennies are that either the old god gets corrupted, or some other plot concerning Flemeth trying to possess the child.

Spoiler

If the kid is as pathetic as the Archdemon (who's supposed to be an "old god" under evil influence), he/she will be swiftly beheaded by the first Warden that comes along. World domination material, them old gods ain't.

As long as ballista's aren't involved he'll do fine .

Morrigan already states she only does that for fun (yes, for fun; I don't even know what the heck she is thinking) and she would not tell the child about his/her identity. Hence, it is highly possible that at the time Alistair died Morrigan also died too, which leave the child to find his/her own identity, until somehow he/she meet old character (mean you) and learn the truth, and then force to success the throne because Alistair is childless.

Very common RPG plot, if you play some RPG.

Yes, Dragon Age 2. You start your adventure with the anonymity awarded any player character. During your travels you kill an ostentatious old lord, save a town from a mythological creature, then bone a Witch of the Wilds...



Every Bioware game since KOTOR needs its revelation, right?

I'm more curious how a dwarven character would be handled, hehehe

Spoiler

Flemeth used her children to prolong her own life, posessing their bodies when she became old. She had planned the same thing for Morrigan, and sent her out so she would become more powerful fighting the darkspawn. It's possible that Morrigan does the same thing with her child. Would make her the antagonist in the sequel I guess. Just a possibility.

Spoiler

In this regard, what is more likely?
1) Despite your efforts, Flemeth came to possess Morrigan before the end of the game (whether or not you defeated her Draconian form). Who's to say distance would stop such an anciently powerful witch, eh?
2) Morrigan, naive of her mother's wish to possess her, herself knows the technique of body possession.

Spoiler

Not sure, Morrigan herself only says that is a "may be" and Flemeth never says she is going to possess Morrigan. Flemeth's idea of sending out Morrigan is to get the child, as Morrigan states clearly before the end of game.

Spoiler

Of course she knows the technique, she has the grimoire

However, that certainly won't be morrigan's plan for this child. Hell they don't even have to be her real children, since Morrigan isn't actually Flemeth's daughter. She could just pick up any old magical orphan for that.

 

[trance]

Spoiler

Yes she does, when you confront her, she tries to strike a deal with you. When asked what you gain on going along with Flemeth's terms, she tells you that "You get to keep her (Morrigan)... for a while". And yes, Morrigan is most likely Flemeth's biological daughter. In a random conversation with Leliana she says something about "being expected to seduce Chasind men and then kill them when she've had her way with them". Highly doubt Flemeth did that because she was feeling a bit horny.

Think about it, Flemeth plots with Morrigan to sire a child with a grey warden, and aquire the essence of the old god. While Morrigan could have bought the idea of "preserving the old god", I doubt that Flemeth's ambitions end there however.

As for the old god not being powerful enough, so may it be. But, what if Flemeth could possess this child once he/she is grown up? Now that'd be something.

I'd be surprised if Flemeth wouldn't be the main villain in a sequel/expansion

I wonder why Morrigan's better robes are called "Possession robes" though. Could be hinting at something?

Spoiler

And yes, Morrigan is most likely Flemeth's biological daughter.

Spoiler

It could be that all her "daughters" are, actually, her real daughters. I'd think that the blood relation also contributes to them being better suited for possession.

 

[Nole4694]

Spoiler

Well if you talk around enough, you can pretty much confirm it, and the 'daughters' are all dead. See what she does is goes while she is all young and pretty and gets her thang on P) with some chasid men, and when she gives birth she raises the child and teaches her and stuff so that she can posses her when shes ready, or when the child is powerful enough. Its a cycle, and when she posseses the new body, or i should say the spirit or demon or whatever posesses the new body, she goes out into teh chasid males again. You get lots of info if you talk with Morrigan after you get the grimroth and go more in depth to get more details

 

[NONOPUST]

Oh come on guys that's such bull and you know it!!!

Gotcha!

Spoiler

in the description for the robes it talks about the plan to welcome home Morrigan with a robe that would sap her mental resistance so that it would be easier to take over

 

[the_mango55]

About Morrigan

Spoiler

First of all, she says she remembers seeing her mother lie with Chasind men and steal their life force. This means 1) that she does it for reasons other than producing daughters and 2) that she already had a daughter when she did it (I still don't think Morrigan is her actual daughter)

Secondly, this is definitely not what she wants this child for. Why would she want the soul of an old god if she was just going to replace that soul with her own anyway?

 

[Erlinggra]

Spoiler

Spoiler

I doubt that as the player has the option to tell Morrigan to off, I played a good character so I was not convinced by Morrigan’s desire to bear a god into the world. I instead choose to sack Alistar to the final boss then I became king AWESOME!!!!! Flemmeth is powerful for sure, but you defeat her once so you can do it again. However having "the witch of the wilds" (either morrigan of flemmeth) that was able to gain the arch deamon from later blight could be done, this would of course also occur centuries later. That would make sense as it would make of easier development as any changes made by the player would have eroded by then.

 

[roy34543]

Actually morrigan also says that as soon as the child is possesed "it could hardly be called a child anymore" so im guessing its not exactly human-shaped.
Therefore im guessing possesion is sort of unlikely.

Spoiler

Flemeth is already an abomination, a combination of the original Flemeth and a demon that not even Flemeth herself understands. I think Flemeth intended to possess a now-pregnant Morrigan, give birth to and raise the god-child, and when the time was right, possess it. Limitless Powah!

Also, Morrigan states that Flemeth is not her birth mother, though Flemeth herself probably told her that so make of it what you will.

Started a new game as a female city elf. Boy, does she hate humans. Got a little mouthy with the King and Duncan slapped her down for it. That was kinda cool. Also, the drunken limrick was amusing.

 

[Shabby_Ronin]

He really slapped her?

 

[Hotspur]

He really slapped her?

Verbally. It's the sternest rebuke I've seen so far.

 

[Nole4694]

Yeah I know what your talking about, if you say anythign but 'Pleased to meet you your majesty' or whatever, then you will get that remark

 

[Hotspur]

"Your welcome means nothing to me, human lord."

Takes big brassy balls to say that to the king...

I prefer one of the other lines myself.

Spoiler

King: So how are the alienages?
City Elf: I killed an Arl's son for raping my friend.
King: What?

I used that one too.

 

[Kamos]

I also enjoyed one line from the Dwarf Noble Origin.

Spoiler

Merc Captain: Tell me where the shield is.
D. Noble: The shield is a metaphor. The shield is in all of us.

 

[Erlinggra]

I think sten is quite funny

Why does the riverboat guard look like Alistair? I mean he looks so similar that until they got to the 'crossing' part of the dialogue, I was wondering to myself if the British localization for him was really that bad.

 

[the_mango55]

They have the same hair and hair color, but I didn't think they looked all that similar.

Poor quality of youtube probably.
Also he has templar armour.
