Line 176:
** In the [[Dragon Age Origins|previous game,]] you recuse Queen Anora from Arl Howe's estate. On your way out, you're confronted with Ser Cauthrien and a number of guards who charge you with breaking and entering and murder of the Arl. You'd think having the captive Queen on hand would get you to get out of the situation without bloodshed, but drop her name and reveal her and she instead pins her kidnapping on you and your companions.
*** No, that was ''necessary''. She even explains why the ruse after you return.
**** Her explanation is not convincing - the person leading those troops is Loghain's lieutenant, who entirely knows what Anora looks like. Anora logically has nothing to lose by revealing herself or you revealing her, because Ser Cauthrien should be able to pick her out of the crowd anyway.
* The Council of ''[[Mass Effect]]'' certainly acts like this toward Shepard. Virtually any major decision in the first game will be second-guessed by them, even actions carried out by a force you had no authority over.
** Carries over to the second game. The original Council, which owes you their lives, refuses to believe the Reapers exist and only grudgingly gives you your SPECTRE status back. If it's the human council, who owe their position to you, they won't even speak with you and only Anderson can get you reinstated.
