But what choices have the greatest effect across the entirety of the series?
Dragon Age games are known for their incredible characters and story.
But have you ever wondered when Corypheus wears a birthday hat?
Here are some of the most notable.
Nathaniel can be denied entry to the Grey Wardens entirely, and can still die if recruited.
In this case, he no longer appears, though has an exclusive quest in DA2 if he lives.

Wynne will leave you immediately, and Leliana will potentially battle you to the death.
One such person is the aspirational Dagna.
Provided you side with the mages, she can study at the Circle, and will even travel there.
She also appears as a major character in Inquisition.
Take your time exploring, and take your time in combat - these open worlds require some strategy.
But what many may have missed, is that she’s actually in the original game.
She can reflect in DA2 that she knows the Hero of Ferelden.
But her Eluvian obsession is important too.
9Your Romances
Central to any Bioware game is an abundance of romanceable characters.
So as central as they are, of course, there’s some carry-over.
Some stories are exceptional, and many will be much more hidden or deeper than you think.
Here are the games with the best lore.
For instance, Zevran may appear in Dragon Age 2, but will not offer sex if previously romanced.
This of course, also affects Morrigan’s rather important child.
And of course, the repercussions of this can be felt across many games.
Leliana is a key example.
She can be killed in Origins, yet appears in Inquisition no matter what.
The fate of Alistair and Loghain is of course critical.
Even in Inquisition itself, the Trespasser DLC’s party is entirely determined by your living companions that remain.
7The Ruler Of Ferelden
One of the most well-known of Origins' quests is the Landsmeet.
But one of the most central choices here is the ruler of Ferelden.
Anora is already the ruling queen, though this can change easily.
The Warden, if a Human Noble, may even choose to rule alongside Anora or Alistair.
6Morrigan’s Child
Presented to you at the end of Origins is a proposal by Morrigan.
It’s a morally dubious choice, seeing as she gives no reason.

Of course, the child may even be entirely normal, if you romance her instead.
But of course, the Landsmeet affects this as well.
Outside of choosing a new ruler, is the fate of Loghain and Alistair.
If you choose instead torecruit Loghain to the Grey Wardens, Alistair will leave the Grey Wardens.
But failing this, it will instead be Loghain as the Grey warden.
