Firstly, kids don't need marriage to be made or born. Secondly, Broodmothers create Darkspawn and they are female dwarves/humans/elves/qunari who've been infected with the Darkspawn Taint and mutated to some awful, bloated babymaker. With tentacles. Grey Wardens have mastered the taint and can use it to sense Darkspawn, amongst other things, but making tiny Darkspawn is not one of them. Edit: Tarie and Ell46 both beat me to it:/ Ahhh but you saidit with style, Kaldelar :D Point being moot though, outside of our own written fan-fics and such *names baby 'duncan' and fleeeeees into the sunset*

Mmm.. I thnk that the Broodmothers are a -bit- different from your average Tainted/Grey Warden female.

I know I'm very late to this thread but what about Bryce? It's been a while since I played with that but I faintly remember using .obj files there as well as being able to import DAZ /Poser figures. Getting poser 9 in a few days and I'm looking forward to seeing if things are compatable, there are a few armor/robe variations available in DAZ/Poser that I'd love to see made for DA:O

Enchanting! *flee!*

I would have loved to see Daveth live through the joining. And if the plot calls for his death then fine, he can die in some grand GW sacrifice way to allow the rest of the party to escape certain doom. say... one of those sideline attacks that happens when going from place to place. Or shoot, give Zev a bone and let him kill -one- warden! (and as a side-bar anyone else wish that the other GW's had been there even as silent observers to the Joining? Humm?)

as the person above posted, all that and.... ... allows/encourages his supporters to refer to him as King Loghain (Orz. gates) ... is a villain we love to hate. and I'd love the option to slap Ser Cautherin (sp..) for being a stooge.

Yeah, I finished my first play - through (LOVED it) as a HNF rogue now want to try the other class/race combos. The game is pretty interesting and stepping it up a level with play-throughs is fun (driving my husband nuts though - 'didn't you beat that game once already?!'.. "yes but not on (insert level) with a (insert race/class) yet!") Once I finished my first play through I tried DA:2 and just.. meh. Didn't care for the selection, didn't much like the mechanics though the fight animations were pretty nice. I missed the characters from DA:O (okay, confess, I missed Alistair and his quips). I might slog through the rest of it later. After trouncing things on nightmare mode? :-D who knows.

Hi! been lurking for about oh, 6 weeks, shortly after I finally (finally!) installed and got sucked into the fun that is DA:O I am a forum junky from way back, dabbling in different forums here there and everywhere and even indulging in some forum moderation both in my free time and as part of my job. I've got an interest in and some experience with 3-D modeling via Poser and Bryce so the mods I have seen dispersed and created are just incredible. And my ability to string words together at the moment ran out at the same time as my last cup of coffee.

Late to the topic (as always, that's me...) IMO a child of 2 wardens would be rare, mothers body would be fighting the taint and the normal (hahahhaa) wear and tears of pregnancy in a medieval type society with all its attendant health issues. So rare enough that maybe Weisshaupt would have some moldering records of that time a few centuries ago when wardens x and y bumped uglies and produced baby B who, while at times a sickly child was so incredibly normal as to be unremarkable though -maybe- with a greater chance at later surviving the Joining. But the success rate of such pregnancies rare enough, and the normally attendant risks heightened by the taint and the fact that mummy and daddy won't live all that much longer make it so that it wasn't something that every female warden (those being few and far between anyway) would want to rush out and do. The baby would (I believe) be mostly safe from the taint, as the placental barrier filters most impurities from the blood though it would be reasonable I think that a child of such a union would have a lower life expectancy, say maybe 40 years?
