Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

And those generally suffered due to not being as accurate nor having as good penetrating power which meant that the regular kind was favored in China and mostly used against massed troops like regular crossbows.
Sticking a crossbow in a peasants hand and teaching him to use it proficiently in 2 days is better than trying to field an archer who has to have years of experience.
That would be very tricky on Bioware's part.
Because, the Qunari Formerly Known As Sten would be an awesome person to have around in Kirkwall.
Which is great if it is between two armies. If it is between two small groups, the peasant might as well run away instead of getting brutally killed.
off the top of my head, the origins stuff sounds fairly localized and likely to be inconsequential
maybe the ferelden throne and the state of orzammar seem like they'd be the really major things
the awakening stuff I can't really bring myself to care about too much
I can assume that based on the three choices you get if you don't have a save.
That makes me very sad.
I have a tumblr.
Check it out.
On a completely random DA1 note, I had no idea Shale's 'ranged' tree was so fucking good. Lots of CC/AoE damage is crazy.
I know Anders and Isabela...who is the third?
Not really, even if you don't import a save you still get a choice of three variations the events of Origins. Not to mention the person who taught the Duelist specialization, two full party members from Awakening, Flemmeth, a character from the Daelish origin and your personal salesdwarves are going to be significant portions of the story. Not to mention that Hawke is related to the human Mage Warden and comes from Lothering.
Merrill.
Edit: You probably don't remember her because she is a non-entity
But the Dalish are terrible...how could I have been expected to know that?
Technically you also have Justice.
Though I did get the nice blurb about it in the epilogue, so I wouldn't be too disappointed if there wasn't a way, just curious if I missed something.
Plenty of other M rated games like god of war or red dead redemption have had non-monster nudity and gotten away with it.
edit: It could be that my game was just being weird, because I also got reports of "during the celebration at Vigils Keep". I assumed that they meant the first nights victory or something, it was really vague.
That's actually kind of disappointing. Would be nice to have a ranged option for your characters if you need to do some sort of pull or ranged attack for some reason.
In terms of how to save justice, take him with you on the final mission. The people who die in the defense of the keep are the elf, Justice, and possibly Sigrund (her defense of the keep epilogue is kind of ambiguous). Anders, Ohgren and Nathaniel will survive I believe.
Seems like that's supposed to be the right choice, as opposed to everyone just being pissed at the wardens forever for burning amaranthine.
There's a bug with the journal where it tells you that the keep fell and everybody died when that's not what happened. What did the endgame say about it? I'd stick with what that says.
I think that the main factors are:
Silverite armor (doing all three ores to complete the quest)
Closed off the ba sement Deep Roads enterance
Lyrium sand to Dworkin
I'm not sure if soldier morale or who you leave behind matters (I know the latter matters in which of your companions survive, though).
EDIT: Super Ninja'd.
Still, hardly happy endings for any of them, and I totally misunderstood what you meant.
I don't know why you wouldn't take him anyway though. On my last playthrough, I took Justice, Nathaniel and Valenna. I was a warrior myself, and having a second tank in Justice made every encounter amazingly easy.
