Line 19:
* During the mage origin story, Uldred is described as the leader of the Libertarians, the faction of the Circle that believes that mages should be free to use their powers as they like rather than submitting to the oversight of the Templars. He's one of the few mages who is genuinely ''proud'' of his abilities. {{spoiler|Which is perhaps what leaves him vulnerable to possession by a Pride Demon}}.
* 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 because that is the most common accusation of an apostate in the DA universe, even if an apostate hates blood magic. 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. Carta thugs is the only justified example as if you were a Dwarf Commoner, you 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.
