I'm surprised that there isn't questions about your origin on DA:Origins.
Uniocular
There are, but only for the Dwarf Noble for some reason.

Weird, I'm a dwarf noble and I don't see it anywhere. Finally was able to watch the whole of Varric telling the story. I find it interesting that the Warden's story is one of valor and there's sort of a march or something playing in the background, while really somber music plays during Hawke's tale. It makes me sad to think Varric has had to live with people saying all sorts of shit about someone who's probably his best friend, who he had seen face so much.
I find it also interesting his story makes no mention of Anders' possession. I wonder if that's not widely known, and Varric doesn't exactly want to encourage a bunch of people knowing.
That all you got?
You go to "A Paragon Of Her Kind" and questions about a relationship with someone are dealt with, but there's nothing about either the Dalish or the Human Noble, really.
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

Well, there's only one choice for Dwarf Noble, whether you got Mardy pregnant, and what you did with the kid.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
And the Human Noble gets to be King/Queen. Sucks for Mages(unless you are human in which case there will probably be a joke about two heroes being from the same family).
Honestly, the only oversight I was surprised by was the lack of Jowan.

Same here, it's the main one that surprised me.
As for lacking questions about Origins... is there really much to ask that would have much of an impact ? The origins all play the same for the most part and barely have side quests... The Warden having a child (if Dwarven Noble) is one that at least has some repercussions. But for most other origins, the optional sidequest stuff you might've done or not is so minor and trivial as to be barely worth mention, as far as I can remember. There's wherever you sent Nessa and her family in the City Elf origin that could matter I guess.

In the city elf origin, isn't there (ugh) an option to side with what's-his-name - the rapist? To take money from him? That seems somewhat significant.

True. I guess since Vaughan dies if you don't take his deal, and that's the only path of all origins where he does die (Unless the Warden doesn't free him from his cell during save the queen).

You can also kill him during Save the Queen.

Oh well, lady dwarves don't impregnate girls. So I totally forgot about that option.
Okay I have a question, once I'm done with the tapestry do I have to save the whole thing as a world state, or are the changes automatically made to the default world state?
Uniocular
They're saved automatically to the default state.
If you want to make a new one, you need to open the sidebar and click "New."

Every time you make a choice it also autosaves.
Can you guys do me a huge favor.
Look me up on origin. (same name as here, no space) Share your worlds with me, and I can share with you.
Pretentious Scholar of English
Alright, then.
Superfan
Will do.

I got a friend request from Mukora and I am circle and shared the world with them, didn't get yours yet Tarlonniel.
Superfan
It shows up as "pending" for me. Maybe the problem is that I don't actually have Origin installed on my computer, I just used the "find friend" option in the Keep.
I wonder what the "Settings" tab is for? It says the ability to change them is coming soon, but what settings are they talking about?

I have an idea.
I think I'll play through inquisition the first time with fresh eyes, I'm going to forget everything my Warden and Hawke did and play with one of your guy's keep data, if you'll share it with me.
I want to see what it looks like. I'm not married to any one idea of continuity, though I'll admit it might be nice to see my old characters, but that won't make or break the game for me. I just want to see what surprises there are.
Uniocular
I'm going to send you my "Ruined everything." world.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."
Superfan
Bah. I'll send my "happy sunshine we're all heroes" world. Well, as close to that as I could get...

Can I see your ruined everything world state? I'm interested. You can find me at southoftheglen.
Hopefully the Day One patch for I will add a few things they didn't have time to add before sending the game away.
