  &quot;Even the true Flemeth was never as annoying as this&quot; Oh Morrigan, how I adore your snark

  First you think Alistair&apos;s just a dense idiot during his dream. Then you actually meet his sister, and suddenly this dream becomes the saddest thing in this game.

  for a moment I expected Shale&apos;s nightmare to be about being attacked by a huge flock or endless swarming birds.

  I just realized that the reason Alistair acts so goofy and childish is because he&apos;s yearning for the childhood he never had.

  Warden: &quot;But you&apos;re a dwarf! How&apos;d you get here?&quot;Oghren: &quot;Talent.&quot;

  I find Oghren&apos;s dream really sad. It makes me think that not even in his dreams does he see himself as anything but a disgrace and a failure. Then again, maybe it&apos;s the Fade glitching up as it tries to deal with a dwarf, but I can&apos;t shake the other idea.

  I know this doesn&apos;t have anything to do with the companions, but I always found it strange that the warden&apos;s perfect place would be with Duncan and the other wardens. I don&apos;t know I just think that in all origins the Warden&apos;s life has to get almost completely ruined before they decide to join the grey wardens. One would think that their perfect place would be in their old life.

  Morrigan is having absolutely none of this shit. Love it. Brought Wynne, Alistair and Morrigan into the Fade during my playthrough, Alistair&apos;s scene is just... sad.

  Ya know, it&apos;s unfortunate the Warden&apos;s dream isn&apos;t tailored to their origin story. It might make for a more heartrending scene, and it would make defying the demon more difficult (and also more satisfying). Seeing Duncan in the Fade, acting like everything is wonderful and congratulating you, is just way too obvious and easy to break from. The Warden doesn&apos;t have much attachment to him, and depending on how you RP your Warden it may not even be consistent with their character. These dreams are supposed to be fantasies (or nightmares) intended to keep ahold of the dreamer. But if the Warden has no desire to be a Grey Warden and has little attachment to Duncan then it just feels kinda cheap. I know that it would&apos;ve been more work and money and resources, but I still wish Bioware had made the player&apos;s portion of the Fade based on their character&apos;s origin story. For example:<br><br>- A Dwarf Commoner might have a fantasy about becoming a noble and being respected, and their mother not being a drunken bitch and Rica being happy and not forced to sell herself on the streets.<br>- A Dwarf Noble might dream of not being betrayed by their brother or killing Bhelen and ascending to the Orzammar throne with the blessing of Endrin.<br>- A Dalish Elf might dream of never having found the Eluvian and blissfully hunting with Tamlen in the forest or of becoming Keeper.<br>- A City Elf might dream of being happily married instead of their wedding being ruined and their friend being raped. Or they might dream of their mother being alive and being happily single.<br>- A Mage might dream of being free or gaining prestige within the circle, and their friend Jowan being happy and free with Lily.<br>- And lastly, a Human Noble might dream of their family all still being alive and happily playing with their nephew or dog or something.
