Lehcar Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 How is it that Morrigan gets pregnant "naturally" if you sleep with her, even though Grey Wardens are supposed infertile because of the taint? And especially if the Warden is not human, because isn't it supposed to be extremely difficult for elves and dwarves to crossbreed with humans, even without the darkspawn taint inhibiting reproduction? Especially dwarves, since it's a well known fact that infertility is on the rise among their race. All of these factors make it so it would be next to impossible for a Warden to conceive a baby without the assistance of fertility drugs or something so umm... what the heck? How does Morrigan always get preggers if you do her, despite the odds being beyond astronomical? Of course I'm talking about if you sleep with her at any point before the ritual near the end... the ritual is an exception since it's accomplished with the assistance of magic. By the way, speaking of dwarves, why are Leliana and Bella the only ones who actually bend down on one knee in order to kiss a dwarf Warden? All other characters just seem to sort of come in at a weird angle for the smooching to happen. Why is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenergy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Ok. I'll power phrase what Mr. Gaider said at the official forums, children between humans and elves will have a human appearance. Children between humans and dwarves would reconcilable as half-dwarves as they would be shorter than a human but taller than a dwarf. As for the weird angles, that is BW saying that we ran out of cash. Edit: The only reason Morrigan gets pregnant everytime and it is thanks to that fertility carving she found at the Wonders of Thedas :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other characters just seem to sort of come in at a weird angle for the smooching to happen. Why is this? Grey Warden's are not infertile.. two Grey Wardens together are (if they don't use magic), but there can be a rare chance for a Grey Warden and a non Warden to conceive. Dwarfs themselves have a very low birth rate, but there are apparently half dwarfs. Elves do not have a low birth rate, but any child conceived with a non elf will create a non elf. so a human + elf = human apparently Zev has one kiss where he does kneel (I had it happen with my dwarf. it was after the tent invite. and a mod has been created to cause better kisses and I use that now.)

True, but I'm pretty sure it said somewhere that hybrids are extremely rare (not that you'd be able to tell if someone was a human-elf hybrid since they'd just be the same as a normal human, but still...), and a big part of that is because they are very difficult to conceive... just because of like, genetic differences and such.

No, I also understood that conceiving children regardless of gender is extremely difficult and unlikely to happen once you've become a Warden, even if your partner is taint-free.

DarkeWolf Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 I dunno. Considering that in 2/3 of Gaider's stories, two wardens have concieved kids. And in the first story, no wardens were involved, so that one technically doesnt count. So 2 for 2 sounds like a pretty good "hit rate" to me. I think maybe Al's comment about the whole thing was because he cut Wynn off before she could give him the birds and the bees talk! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyBlade Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 True, but I'm pretty sure it said somewhere that hybrids are extremely rare (not that you'd be able to tell if someone was a human-elf hybrid since they'd just be the same as a normal human, but still...), and a big part of that is because they are very difficult to conceive... just because of like, genetic differences and such. That is not entirely accurate. They are not rare because of genetic differences they are rare for another reason. A direct quote from The Calling so don't click the spoiler button if you want to exclude that info from your character's thinking: Fiona nodded. “That’s why we stay together in the alienages, mostly. The children of humans and elves are human. If we interbred, we would die out.” As for the rarity of wardens conceiving, from what I have read and seen with the game, the odds of it happening are directly proportional to the stress the warden is under. The greater the stress, the higher the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spets21 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 is it just me or the tittle of this thread sounds like it came from a porno instruction manual/video http://bestsmileys.com/happy/7.gif No, I also understood that conceiving children regardless of gender is extremely difficult and unlikely to happen once you've become a Warden, even if your partner is taint-free.yes it's difficult to conceive but not impossible i mean look at alister for example he is the son of a human( w/ out a taint ) and an elf gray warden with the taint which that time was the baby conceived and the taint magnified 10 fold at it's rate (in the deep roads with the architects power)that's got to be like a 1 out of 10 chance to make babies and rusty's comment regarding breeding in the spoiler is right on the money. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
