Rescuing the Warden [party comments] Part 1 | Dragon Age: Origins

[@agashi336]

No matter what... Zevran WILL be paid for this.

[@rngrtt3689]

We are not here to discuss such matter, I was told I would be paid *upon delivery* and I won't leave until I get paid.

[@hunterb89]

After the fall of Activision's gaming pride, I have limited faith in the whole gaming industry... With the way things are going, in 5-10 years... It will be like 1983 all over again...

[@jamesmeiklejohn-williams7641]

Aaron Page Your problem with ME3 is it's ending, no? Surely you found something to enjoy? Besides, what happened with ME3's ending was no fault of Bioware, but of EA, their publisher/owners. EA says jump, Bioware have no choice but to ask how high. EA says make an ending a large number of people will hate, Bioware must ask how many people. Bioware still cares about players; EA cares about money.

I can actually imagine a bit of those planes: A) Send Morrigan dressed in a chantry's attire (it's gold I tell you), B) Send Alistair unmasked so he can be recognized and arrested at once and C) Send Teagan dressed as a templar asking for an apostate he must confirm (for a mage warden of course)

I love Sten. He’s hilarious. “You’re a dog trainer...?” “I have a dog. What more do you want...?”

[@elcaballerodwemer584]

He must be by far the less used to "act" to fulfill a goal. Even Morrigan had better social interactions than he. Which make's his answers the funiest of all.

I wonder, can you have Shale and dog go rescue you? That would be really interesting. "You're a dog trainer?" "Of course, never seen a golem who trains dogs?"

[@jhaycraft3980]

"With this thing, the vermin of the sky shall never again bother this fort."

[@GoddoDoggo]

I know your question is three years old, but you can't even select Shale as a rescuer in the actual game. These Shale cutscenes are only available through modding unused scenes and dialogue from the game files back in. And no, there is no dialogue for Shale and Dog paired, unfortunately.
