History Funny / DragonAgeOriginsAwakening

** Segues into a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when, if Amaranthine was saved, one of the epilogues reveals the leader of the group had a HeelFaceTurn and decided to actually make it into a real charity.

* Showing that the expansion is worth buying is the little argument Anders and Oghren can have. They mock each other culminating in this moment:

** The follow-up - Oghren's reaction when the Warden gives him the Toy Horse gift and reminds him of his request - is also funny as well as rather sweet.

--> '''Oghren''': So, I saw a Broodmother and masses of darkspawn that neared and cornered me...and then they started to talk things like "Do you want honey in your tea?" "How's the baby?", and they asked me if I would teach them to read and write.
--> '''Warden''': I think that the normal darkspawn dreams aren't quite like that.

* During the quest "A Daughter Ransomed", if you are playing the same character from Origins then one of the conversation options is to tell the band of kidnappers that you are the hero of Ferelden who has spilled the blood of countless foes already. Cue [[MassOhCrap a dozen kidnappers soiling their smallclothes]]. Some guys run off, pretty sure at least 3 jump off a 100-foot cliff, etc.

** Which is HilariousInHindsight given [[AmbiguouslyBi Anders' status in the sequel]].

--> '''Warden''': I bet you can't tell me what you just said.

* The Pony conversation with Oghren in Awakening.

* And let's not forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJhaXm0lzkc Oghren's Joining]] in ''Dragon Age: Awakening''. First he asks why the goblet is so small, then drinks it. What tops the scene off is that you don't get the creepy whispering scene like with yourself and other people, he just smacks his lips and says it's not bad.

* Later on, Oghren gets a visit from Felsi, and gives some insight as to why he joined the Wardens.

* The Warden can speak with Anders about why the Templars want to catch him so badly. Anders comes up with the excuse that the Templars think he's a blood mage or something. However, if Anders is made to choose Blood Magic as a specialization, the Warden can then point out that Anders ''does'' have a reason to be chased after. Anders will laugh and reply "Well, the irony is not lost on me."
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0By3BdSdwQ8 This]] conversation in Awakening with Oghren.
* Oghren starts poking fun as Anders' robe, at which point Anders notes that the robes are ''functional'' in the, ahem, tightly regulated confines of a Circle Tower. You and a "friend" can slip off into a quiet corner and, ahem, take care of business without the Templars noticing and then get back to your routine, with none of the fuss of pants and belts. The icing on the cake is Oghren's "''Really?''" response.

* In Awakening, when Oghren is talking about beginning the Joining.

* During the Awakening quest "A Daughter Ransomed", if you are playing the same character from Origins then one of the conversation options is to tell the band of kidnappers that you are the hero of Ferelden who has spilled the blood of countless before. Cue [[MassOhCrap a dozen kidnappers soiling their smallclothes]]. Some guys run off, pretty sure at least 3 jump off a 100-foot cliff, etc.

* Queen Anora, King-Consort Cousland, Anders, and Ser Rylock out in front of Vigil's Keep:

** King Alistair, meanwhile, thinks Rylock's talking about Oghren. "Oh, the dwarf's a bit of an arse, but I wouldn't say..."

** Segues into a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming where if Amaranthine was saved, one of the epilogues reveals the leader of the group had a HeelFaceTurn and decided to actually make it into a real charity.

-->'''Anders''': Ouch. Score one for The Mother, huh?

* During the Awakening quest "A Daughter Ransomed", if you are playing the same character from Origins then one of the conversation options is to tell the band of kidnappers that you are the hero of Ferelden who has spilled the blood of countless before, and then [[MassOhCrap everything goes to shit]]. Some guys run off, pretty sure at least 3 jump off a 100-foot cliff, etc.

-->'''The Mother''': Ahh, but perhaps The Warden would like to hear how it was that [[spoiler: The Father began the blight. You want the source of the Archdemon? The one who brought all our kind to the surface? (''Indicating The Architect.'') HERE HE IS!]]

-->'''The Architect''': [Hangs his head.]

** Later on, when he complains that he's gotten a strange green rash and wonders if it was something to do with the Joining, the Warden can suggest that that's because you're not ''supposed'' to drink the '''whole''' goblet.

** Later on, when he complains that he's gotten a strange green rash, the Warden can suggest this may have been because he drank the '''whole''' goblet.

* Sigrun attempts to get Anders to demonstrate his magic by freezing/burning a random bush. "It's an evil bush!"

** King Alistair, meanwhile, thinks Rylock's talking about Oghren. "Oh, the dwarf's a bit of a tit, but I wouldn't say..."

-->'''Oghren:''' (in a mockery of Anders' accent) "Oh no, big templar man! What are you going to do with that [[DoubleEntendre sword?]]"

* And let's not forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJhaXm0lzkc Oghren's Joining]] in Dragon Age: Awakening. First he asks why the goblet is so small, then drinks it.

You and a "friend" can slip off into a quiet corner and, ahem, take care of business without the Templars noticing and then get back to your routine, with none of the fuss of pants and belts. The icing on the cake is Oghren's "Oooooh....." response.
* From Awakening: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79S4oGC8K5o "NO ONE TOUCHES OGHREN'S JUNK AND LIVES!"]]
* Oghren's [[RunningGag increasingly frustrated]] attempts to get Justice to tell him if... everything works in Awakening. It gets to the point where he starts screaming out of frustration.
* In ''Awakening'', in one triggered party talk with Oghren he wants to talk about his darkspawn dreams.
--> '''Oghren''': "So, I saw a Broodmother and masses of darkspawn that neared and cornered me...and then they started to talk things like "Do you want honey in your tea?" "How's the baby?", and they asked me if I would teach them to read and write."

* This precious party-banter gem from ''Awakening'' if you have Nathaniel and Anders in your party:
--> '''Anders''': So...you're the son of Rendon Howe?
--> '''Nathaniel''': Yes, I am. Do you also want to share your piece of mind and insult my family?
--> '''Anders''': Oh, no, nope. You know, I'm quite fond of the Howes. [[{{Beat}} *Beat*]] [[IncrediblyLamePun ...and also of Whos, Whats and Whys.]]
--> '''Nathaniel''': *Groans*
--> '''Anders''': It took me shamefully long time to come up with that joke.

--> '''Oghren:''' [''laughs'']] That's what I always say.

--->'''Velanna:''' Then you do believe the elves were immortal.

* The following moment unfolds over five banter sequences: Oghren feeds Velanna a story about how dwarves are born from rocks - gray-streaked ones are boys, pink ones are girls. Velanna actually asks Sigrun if it's true, much to Sigrun's amusement. Sigrun then admits to Oghren that it was ActuallyPrettyFunny ("She was huffing like a constipated bronto!") Not to be outdone, Velanna gets her own back by giving a hungover Oghren a "remedy"...that turns out to be a HideousHangoverCure

** King Alistair, meanwhile, thinks Rylock's talking about Oghren.
