168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Origins was one of Bioware's first major hits, and it 🏅has spawned a series of beloved fantasy RPGs. Inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, Bioware gave gamers three races to choose from for their protagonist: dwarf, elf, or human. Each race came with two or more backstories to choose from which would frame the player's first few hours in the game, and their character's personality throughout. There were options from the wealthiest class, the poorest class, the nomadic, and the socially institutionalized. These unique origin stories have been beloved by Dragon Age fans ever since, and many clamor for their return in the next installment.
Not only could the player creꦰate a detailed and nuanced character, but their Warden was surrounded by NPCs that felt real and consistent. Fans adored some characters, and despised others, pulling their real emotions into the playing experience. With nuanced social, economic, and political struggles surrounding the day-to-day fighting and questing, these characters and their various affinities encouraged players to take a side, make a stand, and actually change the world around them. As fans wai♕t for the next installment, here is a brief reminder to fill in the gaps about the most important Origin characters and their backgrounds.
14 The War𝄹den
The player character in Origins - known simply as "The Warden" - is the Dragon Age protagonist that started it all. Fans adored the detailed c൩ustomization options that made their own play experience fe𝕴el unique from any other's and encouraged the player to spend time pouring over minutia, slowly falling in love with their avatar.
Age: At least 18 aꦕnd at least young enough to be combat-ready
Birthday: Probably sometime between 8:70 Blessed and 9:1൩2 Dragon
Height: Between 4' and 6'5" based on rac🀅ial heights from the roleplaying game
13 Duncan
Duncan is a Grey Warden who recruits the player character into the order. He grew up as a thief on the streets of Val Royeaux, but joined the order after accidentally murdering a warden he was attempting to rob. He was eventually promoted to second-in-command of the Ferelden Grey Wardens and swore to look over Alistair, whose paren♌ts he knew and protected during his time serving the order.
Age: Never stated, bu🐼t assumed to be iꦡn his late 30s
Birthday: Never stated
Height: Ne𝓰ver stated, but assumed to be approximately 5'9"
12 Logꦫhain Mac Tir
Loghain Mac Tir is a nobleman in Ferelden and the Queen's father. He was born the son of a farmer, and became friends with King Maric, King Cailan's father, by a chance meeting. Loghain went on to be one of Maric's closest friends and key military advisor. When Cailan took the throne, he relied on Loghain heavily. In the introduction to Dragon Age: Origins, the pl💟ayer lights a beacon that is meant to signal Loghain and a huge number of forces to join a huge battle, but Loghain orders his soldiers to retreat, instead. The player is left wondering whether his decision was a tactic💙ian's instinct that their fight was a losing one, or an intentional ploy to kill off Ferelden's Grey Wardens and the King.
Age: Approximately 52
Birthday: Around 8:78 Blessed
Height: Never stated, but assumed to be appꦚroximately 6'3"
11 Anora
Anora Mac Tir is the daughter of Loghain Mac Tir, with whom she had a tight bond. From a young age, around 8-10, she became betrothed to (future) King Cailan. The two were fast friends✨, and ꧃their marriage of convenience soon became a marriage of love. Anora spent much time at court crowing up with her father, so upon Cailan's accession to the throne, Anora assumed most of the monarchical duties her husband shirked. After his death, Anora has a claim to the throne — everyone knows who was really ruling Ferelden during Cailan's life.
Age: Approximately 28
Birthday: Never stated, but Loghain begins taking her to court with him in 9:10ဣ Dragon, and she is described as a child — if she is 8🅰 years old at the time, her birthday would be around 9:02 Dragon
Height: Never stated, but assumed to be approxim𓆉ately 5'6"
10 Alistair
Alistair is an ex-templar-in-training, current Grey Warden, with striking blonde hair and a coy, teasing personality. Alistair was born as the bastard son of the late King Maric and the elven Orlesian enchantress Fiona. Alistair does not know the identity of his mother — but, at Fiona's request, he was told that she was a young human serving girl — but was informed that his father was King Maric by Arl Eamon, who took him in as a child. He worked as a stableboy in Redcliffe until his templar training began, and when it became apparent he was ill-suited to the religious life, he was recruited into the Grey Wardens by Duncan. Alistair's bashfulness and gentle heart paired with his royal lineage leads to one of the most difficult ꧒choices in Dragon Age history.
Age: 20
Birthday: 9:10 Dragon
Height: Never stat𝐆ed, but assumed to be approximately 6'1"
9 🍎 Arl Eamon Guerrin ജ
Eamon is the Arl of Redcliffe, and an incredibly popular and influential leader. His family was deeply connected, and his sister, Rowan Guerrin, was betrothed at a young age to (future) King Maric Theirin, making her Cailan Theirin's mother. When Alistair was born, Eamon agreed to take him in to protect his sister's honor, but when he eventually married a woman named Isolde, she became convinced that Alistair was Eamon's bastard child. Finally, Eamon sent Alistair to live at a monastery and train as a templar to spare his wife's feelings. In Dragon Age: Origins, the player seeks out Eamon's help at Alistair's suggesti🎉on — only to find that he has fallen mysteriously ill.
Age: 46
Birthday: 8:84 Blessed
Height:𒁃 Never stated, but assumed toꩲ be approximately 5'11"
8 Dog
The dog companion in Dragon Age: Origins, lovingly referred to as "Barkspawn" by the community, is a mabari warhound. This is a race of hyper-intelligent dogs bred for war by generations of humans living in Ferelden. The dog's origins vary depending on the Warden's backstory: for human nobles, Barkspawn was a childhood pet. For other origins, Barkspawn's original master died in a battle, and a kennel master asks the player to find a medicinal herb that could save the mabari's life. If the player completes that quest, Barkspawn rejoins them after the Battle of Ostagar. Barkspawn is (thankfully) one of the few dogs in video games 🎉that doesn't die, or the player isn't forced to kill.
Age: Never stated, but mabari are assumed to live approximately 30 years (or sevඣen, if they contract the blight)
Birthday: Never stated
Height: Never stated, but assumed to🐠 be approximately 2'8" based on the heights of real dogs, like golden retriꩵevers
7 Leliana
Leliana is a young bard-turned-lay sister of the Chantry. She was born and raised in Orlais, but she considers herself to be Ferelden because her mother was. In Thedas, bards are musicians and performers, but they are also thieves, spies, and assassins. Leliana grew up in this environment until she escaped the thumb of her master, Marjolaine, and decided to atone for her sins in the Lothering Chantry. Her tale of abuse, heartbreak, romance, intrigue, and renewal has made her a fan-favorite character, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:even a healing experience for some.
Age: 24-26, according to the game's toolset
Birthday: 9:04 Dragon - 9:06 Dragon
Height: Never stated,ꦐ but assumed to be approximately 5'6"
6 Morrigan
Morrigan is an apostate mage, who lived in the Kocari Wilds. Her mother was Flemeth, a woman known as the "Witch of the Wilds" who was said to have hundreds of daughters and lived for centuries. Morrigan is an only child, though, and she simply knows Flemeth as her mother, if an odd woman and a mage. Flemeth plucked Morrigan as a young child from a nearby town when Morrigan was too young to remember it and fostered her magical abilities. After the introduction of Dragon Age: Origins, Morrigan joins the player on their quest at Flemeth's insistence. As a mage in a society that fears and locks away her kind, Morrigan often comments on the otherwis🐭e-accepted parﷺts of society and religion that the player might have taken for granted.
Age: Never s🍌tated, but assumed to be approximately 18-22
Birthday: Approximately 9: 12 Dragon - 9:08 Dragon - it is noted that in 9:20 Dragon, a childhood Mor💧rigan is seen observing Avvar and people from the nearby towns, and this estimation would make her an appropriate age at the time (8-12)
Height: Never stated, but assumed to be approximat♚ely 5'11"
5 Oghren
A fan recently ran a game of Dragon Age: Originᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs where every decision was made by dice rolls, which was unusual, but it must be Oghren's everyday experience. A crude dwarven warrior, Oghren is seldom sober. But he wasn't always like this — as a young man, he was one of the best fighters of his generation. Born into a middle-caste family, Oghren fell in love with a woman named Fels, but his dreams were thwarted when his family betrothed him to a higher-caste woman, Branka. Oghren begrudgingly agreed at the behest of his family, but the marriage went quickly downhill as Branka became obsessed with the Anvil of the Void. When she took their entire household into the Deep Roads to look for it, only Oghren was left behind, a depressed, drunk, angry man, 𝔉which is how the Warden finds him.
Age: Approximately 25
Birthday: Never stated, but Brank🦹a took their entire household into the deep roads in 9:28 dragon, after at l𒀰east a year of marriage to Oghren. Assuming the pair married when Oghren was 20 years old, and two years of marriage passed, Oghren would have been born around 9:06
Height: Never stated💟, but assumed to be approximately 4'8"
