Is that enough spoiler space? I've never had to do spoiler space before. So anyway, I noticed that a few people like to talk about the specifics of what happened in their particular ending, what choices they made and how that affected the outcome. So, in the vein of the "What did you do at Redcliffe?" thread someone else made, I figured a "What happened in your ending?" thread might be cool. Additionally, this thread can discuss things like Morrigan's offer and other spoileriffic stuff without having big black spoiler boxes all through it. No black spoiler bits necessary for anything in this thread -- it's a free-for-all!
In my first playthough, I was a male human noble warrior. I kept Morrigan, Alistair, and the Dog in my party, as the first two seemed to be the most related to the main plot and the Dog is awesome. I romanced Morrigan through the game. When it came to the throne, I convinced Alistair and Anora to marry, and managed to talk the Landsmeet into my favor, making it come down to the duel with Loghain. I killed him myself, and when Morrigan made her offer, I accepted because she couldn't be talked out of it (though she seemed pretty sad about the whole thing, considering that she did have feelings for me). Killed the Archdemon, Alistair & Anora on the throne, cake for all! Bittersweet ending because of Morrigan leaving, but I swore I would find her. The boon I asked for was that the Grey Warden's sacrifices never be forgotten, or something like that.

I played a Rogue and pretty much acted like a charming self-interested asshole who nevertheless always said the right thing at the right time (which is no different from saying the right thing at the right time but "KNOWING" my motivation made it fun).
* I am now the King of Feldarin.
* Keeping Leliana on the side
* Slept with Morrigan who has my demon child (and is my ex-girlfriend)
* The Urn of Sacred Ashes is now a tourist site I'll tax to death.
* The Dwarves are enjoying newfound prosperity with their ruthless caste-hating King.
* Al killed Loghain and got his revenge.
* The Circle of Magi are on the road to recovery.
* Broke the Curse on the Werewolves but was sorely tempted to let Winterfang wipe them out in hope of Dryad sex.
* Made a lot of friends at every dark level of society with the Anti-Templar mages, the Blackstone Irregulars (Blackwater FTW), and the criminal underworld of Denarian.
In retrospect, I'm really a Human Male version of Bhelen.
See, I'm going to have to play through again as a male human noble because I didn't even realise that marrying Anora was an option. I wanna be king, goddamn it!

I confess, this is the only game in history that actually made me feel guilty about cheating on my collection of pixels girlfriend. You have to be a real asshole to navigate the politics with anyone but King Arthurlistar.
The Dwarf Noble option is what I'm currently playing and I'll be damned if there's not an option for me becoming King of that too.
From what I've heard from my Dwarf Loving friend, he's the "Good Ending." You can support Harrowmount, he'll get assassinated in two years, you get to be his replacement and presumably make all of the reforms that Bhelen would but without the rampant evil.

Apparently if you do Dwarf Noble and put Harrowmont on the throne, then at the end ask your boon to be something for the dwarves, you are declared a living Paragon by the Assembly and Harrowmont names you his heir, reinstating your titles and everything.

- Killed Loghain personally, completing the set with Cauthrien and Howe.
- Won the final battle without losing any troops...by virtue of never needing them
- Put Alistair on the throne as Anora's husband (the scene where he tries to hold her hand is hilarious)
- Convinced Alistair to participate in Morrigan's ritual.
- Went off Grey Wardening afterwards with her ninja nun girlfriend. Zevran also tagged along because...well, I don't know why Zevran always seemed so helpful when I barely paid any attention to him.
Things basically turned out OK, except for the Dwarves (I chose Harrowmont, but I get the impression it isn't great for them either way).
- Killed Loghain personally, completing the set with Cauthrien and Howe.
Aw, why is Cauthrien a part of this set? I actually feel really sorry for her. In my first playthrough, I talked her out of fighting and what she says made me feel really bad about killing her in the second playthrough (I wanted the summersword, though! -- Oh! That's something else that can go into the DA Influences thread over in Other Media).
