{{quote|'''Human Noble''': I want Howe dead '''NOW!'''}}
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Depending on how the [[Romance Sidequest]] unfolds, this can exist between Leliana and Morrigan/Zevran for men and Alistair/Leliana and Zevran for women. A bisexual PC has the option of picking a [[Third Option Love Interest]].
* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]: A special mention to the Dwarven and Elven Wardens: If they wield a two-handed weapon [[Up to Eleven|it's bigger than their whole fricking body!]]
* [[Bi the Way]]: Can be played this way.
* [[Blessed with Suck]] / [[Cursed with Awesome]]: Congratulations! You've been selected as a Grey Warden recruit—the highest honor you could ever aspire to! It means any birthright or title you had is now forfeit. But wait, you have yet to become a Grey Warden—first you have to {{spoiler|drink darkspawn blood, which will often kill you right away. If it doesn't, congratulations on becoming a Grey Warden! You can now sense the darkspawn and destroy archdemons at the low cost of obliterating your soul if you try the latter. Of course, they can sense ''you'' just as easily as you sense them. Oh, and you have about thirty years to live until the taint starts turning you into a darkspawn, at which point the Grey Warden instruction troubleshooting manual tells you to go on a suicide run against the darkspawn hordes. Oh, and good luck ever having children, especially if the other parent is also a Grey Warden.}}
Line 141:
* [[Loved I Not Honour More]]: Wynne lampshades this, reminding the Warden that they ''will'' have to put their duty as a Grey Warden ahead of their romance when it comes to saving the world.
** By ''Awakening'' even if the Warden previously decided to travel with their chosen love interest at the end of ''Origins'', they are [[The Call Knows Where You Live|back in the fray]] serving as Warden-Commander of Ferelden only ''six months later''.
** Possibly subverted in ''Witch Hunt'', where if romanced, the Warden can decide to leave with Morrigan and {{spoiler|enter the Eluvian to meet their child.}} Of course, one could argue that since itsit's been a year since the end of the Blight and Ferelden is at peace, there is simply no need for the Warden anymore.
** Also subverted if Zevran is romanced. The Warden pretty much runs off to Antiva to reunite with him not long after defeating [[{{spoiler:|The Mother]]}} and joins him in his effort to dismantle the Antivan Crows.
** Further subverted if they're the [[{{spoiler:|queen, prince-consort or chancellor of Ferelden]]}} as they'll permanently return to court to resume their duties after ''Awakening''.
* [[Magic Knight]]: Mage Wardens can become ''Arcane Warriors''.
** Warriors can become a ''[[Your Soul Is Mine|Reaver]]'' and inverted as a ''[[Anti-Magic|Templar]]''.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: You can be an utter douche, kicking dogs, desecrating holy artifacts and supporting crazy dwarves while still having all your most noble companions falling in love with your every word. Just make sure you have a good (and sometimes ''really'' good) coercion rank, a lot of gifts, and careful consideration of who you bring along with you and when.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: The Dwarf Noble's last name is Aeducan, deriving from the dwarven word ''Aeduc'' meaning "Stone".
* [[Modest Royalty]]: If you are a Human Noble, your entire family is this. Despite being the most powerful nobility besidebesides the King, they frequently talk to each other and allies informally. The Human Noble often has the option to ask other Nobles to just use his given name in lieu of a title when they recognize you as being a Cousland.
* [[Memetic Sex God|Memetic Sex God(dess)]]: Is an in-universe case in ''Witch Hunt''.
* [[The Messiah]] - [[Villain Protagonist]]: The Warden can be either and everything in between.
Line 479:
* [[Anti-Mutiny]]: Will try to pull this at Haven if he's at low approval. If he's at high approval instead, he'll just state his opinions and put it at that.
* [[The Atoner]]
* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]: Like most qunari warriors, he's extremely attached to his. {{spoiler|Even though he no longer has it.}}
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Blatant Lies]]:
