If you have Alistair as a Warden and not King, and you take Blackwall with you during Here Lies the Abyss, upon meeting Blackwall, Alistair will mention Duncan knowing him, but you can tell that Blackwall really doesn't know who Duncan is.

I think it is equally interesting that Stroud didn't know the real Blackwall. Stroud was a very old Warden as well, much like Duncan. So it's interesting the real Blackwall and Stroud never crossed paths considering both of their positions.

Its been obvious throughout the game up until this point that Blackwall isn't a Grey Warden... for one he can't give n answer about the Wardens without saying basic well known facts about them, he didn't even know why Grey Wardens have to be the ones to kill the Archdemon, for another he was too nonchalant about "feeling" the calling As for the other Wardens thinking he was a Warden, they knew of a Warden called blackwell but didn't know he was dead... as he "switched places" with Blackwall when the real Blackwall died

It's rather cool how they weaved in bits from Origins to telegraph things that Blackwall/Rainier wasn't aware of. For instance, that "stop along the way" where the real Blackwall got killed? He was undoubtedly getting a vial of darkspawn blood for Rainier's Joining, but got killed instead. EDIT: In addition, he was addressed as "Warden Blackwall" by the bailiff. He could have invoked the Right of Conscription , but he didn't.

I let him die for this. I had tried to romance him- then he gave me some sob story as to why he didn't want to be with me, ran away then tried to come back saying he was stupid. THEN runs away again to do this. I just left him. I don't like people who can't make up their mind about who they are, or what they want from life. Seemed like to me he figured something out- did the right thing. So let him have it. Also, this stunt seems to be a bit psychotic to me. He's crazy.

This quest was incredibly stupid on 2 counts: 1. Blackwalls supposed "crime". The Dragon Age series CONSTANTLY embeds that Orlais is a murderous, politicking nation where their so called "Great Game" or whatever gets people killed all the time. Both Josephine (JOSEPHINE) own quest and backstory involve senseless killings from political intrigue. The frankly pathetic "le shock horror" reaction at what Blackwall did just made me go "wasnt that like basically just tuesday in Orlais?" 2. Rainiers idiotic thinking that the Wardens couldnt trust him if he told them what had happened. Their entire founding credo is "well take ANYONE no matter what theyve done". He could have told them he "ate Blackwalls liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti" and they would just point him to the deep roads and hope he shanks a genlock before he goes down. All around stupid writing. The only bit I liked is everyone hating him for lying to them for so long. Oh and Iron Bulls Gary Stu "I see through you" to Blackwall was sickening too. Godawful crap from a godawful character that is Iron Bull. Eugh. God I miss Origins style Dragon Age.

Man I HATED Blackwall with a passion. I started to not like him by how agressive he was towards Dorian all the time, and it only went downhill from there. Then there's his views on whatever the inquisitor is doing: nothing to add that any other companion with a more legitimate claim to the matter hasn't already added. He's just there, speaking his mind. TOO MUCH. I would always choose the most insulting/agressive option in our dialogues trying to make him hate me and he would still show approval?? How pathetic can he be?
