* Want to know a way your character can be convinced to {{spoiler|spare Loghain?}} This quote from Riordan will explain everything:
{{quote|'''Riordan''': "We aren't judges. Kinslayers, blood mages, traitors, rebels, carta thugs, common bandits: Anyone with the skill and the mettle to take up the sword against the darkspawn is welcome among us."}}
** All six of those examples represent each origin option in the game and how people would react to you negatively. Kinslayers represent the Dwarf Noble because {{spoiler|you either killed your brother or were blamed for his death.}} Blood mages talks about the Magi not only because that is the most common accusation of an apostate in the DA universe, even if an apostate hates blood magic, but also because the Mage Origin involves you helping a blood mage escape from the templars. Traitors represent the Human Noble because of the slanders Teryn Loghain and Arl Howe made regarding your family. Rebels would be best associated with a City Elf due to the stereotypes of elves being nothing but troublemakers (as well as the part where you rampaged through an arl's mansion and very likely killed his son). Carta thugs is the only justified example as if you were a Dwarf Commoner, because you actually did work for the carta. As for common bandits and the Dalish Elf origin, many people who are completely ignorant about the Dalish, including elves, would assume that they are nothing more than glorified bandits who only kill humans. No matter what origin you play as, once you hear one of those examples, you realize that you are judging Loghain as much as people judged you before you became a Grey Warden.
* Why does Bryce Cousland choose "Pup" of all things to be the affectionate nickname of the Human Noble Warden? It plays into how the Fereldans are all big on dogs.
* Ser Jory has the lowest willpower of companions during the Wilds part of Ostagar. Pretty fitting considering his reactions to pretty much everything scary.
