So I finished my first character a few days ago and was wondering what path other people took.
The name of my first character was Richard because he is a bit of a D###. Human noble warrior, specializing in dual weapons. Became a Berzerker first and then a Champion as those where the specializations available to me. He solved most things through intimidation and was a bit of a thug, but a heroic one. Eventually I maxed out enough to realize my vision of the character: a dual axe wielder. I used the same 3 companions through almost the entire game: Morrigan (who froze stuff), Leliana (who shot arrows at stuff and summoned animals) and Sten (who swung and missed a lot). My playstyle is "play the ball where it lies" so you will see some choices that you may not have made.
Romance
Spoiler
Hooked up with Morrigan, blew off Leliana but friended her 100%. The character flirted with a few more and got away with it since Morrigan is not too jelause.
Quests
Spoiler
Started with the elves and sided with them. Nothing special.
Next I did Redcliff and ended up sacrificing the wife. Ups!
Next I did the mage tower and all the mages died. I thought I was siding with 'em... hmm... need to check out a faq.
Lastly I did the Dwarf kingdom, sided with the prince, destroyed the Anvil.
Endgame
Spoiler
Sided with the Queen and proposed marriage.
Replaced Allistar for Logain (doh!) but let Allistar live of course.
Performed "the ritual" with Morgana. Got dumped.
Finished the game, stayed at the castle to rule, most my friends abandoned me
Now I'm looking forward to a 100% good rogue playthrough and a 99% evil mage playthrough. I started the mage (mostly necromancy and corpse exploding spells) and Rogue (City Elf). Might do a dwarf too but not counting on it.
Cool, Heres a brief rundown of mine so far:
I beat it in umm, oct/nov with a dwarf noble - a good guy all the way through,
Romance:
Spoiler
tried to get with Leliana but could only be a friend (i gave her gifts before the romantic conversation)
So I ended up with Morrigan, and then again at the end with her for the Ritual
Quests:
Spoiler
I did Redcliff first, but not all of it, then i did the mage's tower, sided with the elves, and went back to redcliff and saved everybody (i was powerful enough by then)
Then I went to Ostagar and let the umm, Baron,m or other noble be king - i killed my own brother
Endgame:
Spoiler
I made Alistair the king and had to kill Logain - almost got him to switch sides though, but i realized where i screwed up. Morrigan ran away after the ritual, and I forget what else
Now I just started an elven Mage that I will try to play down the middle and a human noble rogue that i want to be evil enough so he can marry the queen and become king.
but I ended up getting the new return to ostegar DLC, so I'm not sure what I'll do!
Any real reason that this is separate from the other Dragon Age thread that's like, 2 posts down the page?

Some people get violent about spoilers, especially with huge RPG's. Figured it was just a best practices thing, seeing how threads are not a limited resource.
