Dragon Age: Origins

For Ferelden!

Dragon Age: Origins is a 2009 role-playing video game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. It is the first game in the Dragon Age franchise. Set in the fictional kingdom of Ferelden during a period of civil strife, the game puts the player in the role of a warrior, mage, or rogue coming from an elven, human, or dwarven background. The player character is recruited into the Grey Wardens, an ancient order that stands against monstrous forces known as "Darkspawn", and is tasked with defeating the Archdemon that commands them and ending their invasion.

Quotes

• And so is the Golden City blackened
  With each step you take in my Hall.
  Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting.
  You have brought Sin to Heaven
  And doom upon all the world.
  • Canticle of Threnodies, Chapter 8 Verse 13

• The Chantry teaches us that it is the hubris of men which brought the darkspawn into our world. The mages had sought to usurp Heaven. But instead, they destroyed it.
  They were cast out, twisted and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters, the first of the darkspawn.
  They became a blight upon the lands, unstoppable and relentless.
  The dwarven kingdoms were the first to fall. And from the deep roads, the darkspawn drove at us again and again, until finally we neared annihilation... until the Grey Wardens came.
  Men and women from every race, warriors and mages, barbarians and kings, the Grey Wardens sacrificed everything to stem the tide of darkness, and prevailed.
  It has been four centuries since that victory, and we have kept our vigil. We have watched and waited for the darkspawn to return. But those, who once called us heroes, have forgotten. We are few now, and our warnings have been ignored for too long. It may even be too late, for I have seen with my own eyes what lies upon the horizon. Maker help us all.

Dialogue

Warden: Cookies? Where did you get those?

Sten: There was a child, a fat slovenly thing in the last village we passed. I relieved him of these confections. He didn't need more... For his own good.
