Wow! You mean he actually survives the joining? That's interesting. I would assume that sets the stage for what happens next, then. How does he perform as a Party member?

Big one, really big super big spoiler stuff. This is spoiler stuff you wouldn't know of unless you was hit in the face with it. It will spoil a lot of things.

He is basically a clone of Alistair, but he has Champion as his spec. He stands where Alistair is, in the party select menu. I am currently trying to get his ending now. I have gotten the other 3.

Edit: I just got the "Redeemer" achievement and perfectionist. The best ending is the one you die.

Achiever
Just loading the save before you go into the final to make a different decision huh?

I'm currently trying to see whether I can get both Morrigan and Leliana

[Beskar]

I tried, but then, I accidently got Morrigan probably before I had a chance with Leliana. Even then, I dumped Morrigan and still didn't work with Leliana.

Yeah, I did it with the Dwarf story as that is the easiest. Do a save just before you speak to the golem. You can get 4 different achievements (so two quick 10 minute plays) to get them.

Unfortunately, I didn't do it for Redcliffe, Elves and Circle. But I was playing on playing a female character to get the female only unlocks anyway.

[FactionHeir]

Well I currently got both Morrigan and Leliana in Romance state + tent but in their banter they still think that Morrigan is the one. Probably wasn't intended for this to work this way?

Had both in initial romance state first and then chose Morrigan. After the Denerim quest for Leliana, you seem to be able to woo her back without either of them forcing you to choose anymore

[Beskar]

After completing the games and seeing the endings, I decided to do the other 5 origins...

I have to say one thing "Wow", it is amazing seeing the backstories and the happenings of all these characters you meet. It is truely and interesting experience.

I will do one in spoilers for instance:

Take the life of Rita, the Dwarven girl.

From main story, you hear about Bhelen marrying a commoner, and a love note in his room.

Casteless Dwarf story: Rita is your sister! And you are supporting her as she gets dolled up, etc, trying to seduce some one important, etc.

Noble Dwarf story: Rita comes out of Bhelen's room! So straight after commoner where she says she said some one is interested, you find out it was Bhelen from this, added from the first play through, that she had all this backstory and different appearances.

This happens to a lot of characters, it is truely a sight.

Finally figured out how to complete Redcliff.. the "right" way.

It isn't enough to armor the militia, do Ser Perth's quest and then hit the Chantry. You should take time to recruit Dwynn and his thugs by the waterfront, the Elf in the Tavern and the Tavern owner.

Interesting side note: Recruiting the Tavern's owner for the fight lets the Barmaid be in charge. She will then give you whatever you want for free, she won't charge you a dime! You'll also be able to buy a special gift, a bottle of fine wine, that was not in stock before. Sten will approve, as in his words anyone who can fight should be.
