WILDLY different reactions from getting kicked out of orzammar forever here
Dragon Age Origins AU where everything is the same except your origin's temporary companion comes with you to Ostagar and joins the Wardens. Dalish Origin? Tamlen is a menace. He's ready to fight anybody and everybody at Ostagar—even the King. Especially the shem king. Duncan hopes you keep an eye on him. It takes a lot persuading to get him to do the Dark Ritual. Easier if you're a female warden and you have a relationship with him, because he doesn't want you to die and he doesn't want to die. Will bitch a lot in Dalish—and so can you. Mage Origin? Jowan never leaves your side. He doesn't want to leave your side, not after what you lost to help him. Wynne's glare has him cowering and using you for cover. He becomes braver, however, and when the march of Denerim comes, he is fully willing to take the final blow for you, his best and only friend. Human Noble? Gilmore will doing anything to protect you, his friend, his lord/lady. He was fully willing to attack Duncan during the Joining if you had died. He gets along best with Alistair. If you become King or Queen, he becomes your bodyguard, and will follow you even to Vigil's Keep. Dwarf Noble? Gorim will follow you anywhere. He's there in the Deep Roads, willing to die by his prince/princess, when you are both found by Duncan. He doesn't particularly want to support Bhelen for the throne, but if you do he will stand by your decision. If you had a child as a male, you can use the human way of making him the kid's godfather. Dwarf Commoner? Leske had no choice when Duncan claimed him with you, but at least he's alive and breathing! And with you, too. During Ostagar, you can let him loose and he comes back trinkets and money. Doesn't like the whole 'saving the world' thing but, hey, at least they're looting. He really changes his tune if you make Bhelen king and, later on if Hardened, Alistair is made king/king with Anora because, wow, he's palling with royalty and getting the royal treatment! Fist fights Oghren a lot. City Elf? Soris doesn't really want to be here. But you're here, and you've been his hero since you were children and he knows nothing can take you down, so he's a little bit comforted. He slowly comes into his own, being confident and sure of himself, and Shianni makes a comment about it and he says it's because he had you, his cousin, his friend, helping him. He and Zevran have a flirty relationship and, at the end if you didn't romance Zevran, have a hint of a relationship going on. Is fully willing to either die for you or do the Dark Ritual, because he wants to repay all the times you were his hero to be your hero just this once.
With only 16 days left until Dragon Age The Veilguard, let's go through history.
What is your favorite origin in Dragon Age Origins?
🏹 Dalish Elf Mahariel
🛡 Human Noble Cousland
🗡 City Elf Tabris
👑 Dwarf Noble Aeducan
🪄 Mage Human/Elf Amell/Surana
⚔️ Dwarf Commoner Brosca
Have you played them all?
Considering how relatively overqualified Aeducan is for the Wardens (military and Darkspawn-fighting experience, was literally gonna be Orzammar’s commander) ik Duncan almost started punching the air when they got exiled to the Deep Roads
chapter 3 is up

After four days in the cell, Sereda no longer noticed its ever-present smell. What the smell was, exactly, she could not say—decay or rot or despair. Or at least, she believed it had been four days. Her only method of marking time was the bowls of thin pottage shoved through the bars at her twice a day. She'd refused the first one after her brother's personal guards thrust her into the cell, but when the second arrived later that day, she realized she had no idea how long she would be kept there. After that, she'd accepted each lukewarm, diluted bowl and bolted it down quickly to avoid tasting it.
Whatever it was, it still wasn't nearly enough food and already her ragged clothing felt looser. She assumed that, in time, the spiders and salamanders scuttering over the bones littering the floor would begin to appear edible. When she arrived, she presumed those large bones—too large to be vermin or game—were just the remains of some earlier, unfortunate occupant of her cell who died. When she saw that some of the largest bones bore the gnawing marks of dwarven teeth, she stopped looking at them too closely.
On the fifth day, she hears a different set of footsteps approaching her cell. She can tell it isn't the indifferent guard. These seem… familiar.

If Sandal is the Aeducan child that went missing, Warden Aeducan might recognize him. Even if they didn't meet Sandal specifically, they would have met his father. Aeducan sits there looking at this boy like I KNOW I know you from somewhere, who are you. Meanwhile, they're cousins

I'm replaying dragon age origins and doing a femme dwarf noble run and I tried to make her look as close to her father and brothers as possible (nose, eyes, lips, hair and skin color)... but I wasn't really paying attention to her jaw line and everytime I get a side view of her in a cutscene I have regrets.
