Flash432 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Is is not weird that in a land of Ferelden where to your and Alister's knowledge they're only 2 wardens, that you don't offer the joining to or forcibly conscript more wardens especially since there's a blight and what not, it's not like you don't have enough people following you anyway. Seeing as though you can only have 3 companions with you at any 1 point and the possibility of meeting 10 or so companions I think it's unrealistic that you wouldn't make more wardens. Especially the blood oath characters such as Zevron or Sten who would be dead without your help anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGBlank Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Neither you nor alistair know how to make grey wardens. The process is a little bit more complex than just quaffing darkspawn blood, tho the game doesn't tell you exactly what it is until the very end.

Flash432 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 what else, I must of missed that :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGBlank Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 If you ask Alistair he SPECIFICALLY tells you that he doesn't know the ritual, only that it involves lyrium (gee, that's specific). Near the very end of the game, they tell you why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayman77 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I wonder if the game intended a parallel with Duncan creating Grey Wardens and Branka creating golems, sacrificing individuals for the greater good. Maybe this could be stretched even further with Zathrian and werewolves but I haven't (yet) played through any scenarios where more werewolves were 'recruited' to fight the Blight. The whole drafting/damning-of-innocents-to-fight-evil concept makes me feed a bit squicky. That was the idea, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaz2008 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The comparison of Grey Warden recruitment to Branka's creating golems is interesting. Maybe it was intended. Choosing between Branka and Caridin is definitely a time when the PC may recall the idea that "Grey Wardens do whatever it takes." But Duncan probably isn't a notable element of the matter. He's one of many senior Grey Wardens, and I expect all of those who have the authority and ability to enact the Joining ritual kill recruits who attempt to turn back from it at the last moment. Duncan just happens to be the leader of the Wardens' Ferelden branch and, initially, the PC's only example of a senior Warden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGBlank Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 To the kokari wilds to collect darkspawn blood and duncan had a cache of archdemon blood on him, which was stored in denerim, the other grey warden tells you this before landsmeet It's not the game's fault if you skipped the dialogue >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
