→Why not become Carta boss?
Line 273:
* More It Just Confuses Me To Distraction than a proper qualm, but if you're not the Dwarf Commoner, who killed Beraht. The game suggests that without you at the controls, the character either chooses not to or doesn't have the wits to escape from the jail. I'll give it that the character probably got caught for something else, going with the idea that Duncan wasn't there to enlist them, and therefore not present for the proving match to take place and the character to be caught, but the character kills Beraht after they break free.?
** Remember that the Dwarf Commoner is recaptured after killing Beraht, and only Duncan saves you from being tossed back into custody. So apparently the events of the Dwarf Commoner Origin still occur, including the first jailbreak and killing Beraht on your way out, but the divergence point is that both the Dwarf Commoner and Leske get sent back to jail without any intervening steps, and then Jarvia consolidates her control over the carta and bribes you both back into her custody only after having had time to really work up her mad (thus explaining why she tortures both the Commoner and Leske), as opposed to Leske having wriggled free right after your recruitment into the Grey Wardens and thus having some freedom of action to find a way into Jarvia's good graces.
** There is a dialogue option right after the Dwarf Commoner kills Beraht where you can ask Leske 'why not stick around and try to take over'? Leske will point out that Beraht's power base didn't derive from his personal badassedness but instead from his network of connections and business arrangements with various interested parties both in Orzammar and on the surface, and since neither of you were in that end of the business you don't have the faintest idea who those people are or how to reach them -- and the people who do know (like Jarvia) will want to take over ''themselves'', not help you do it. These problems would also exist for an NPC Dwarf Commoner.
