I think you're confusing Giant Bomb with Google.

Yep.  The ceremony to become a Grey Warden is part of the main storyline and can't be turned down.

It can be turned down.

Yeah, of course.

I don't want to be one.  I played city elf and dalish elf origins and they both ended in me going to Grey Warden city with Duncan.

If you stop playing before you meet Duncan you'll never become a Grey Warden.

I'm pretty the whole point of the game is to become a Grey Warden and go on countless adventures. Why would you want to refuse it anyways? What would there be to do?

No. But if you don't then the Archdemon steps on you in a cutscene.

I guess you could always pretend like you're not a Grey Warden. When the initiation comes just put your fingers in your ears and go LALALALALALA.

I was playing as an elf.  I don't like being tricked into becoming a Grey Warden by a human.

Well the entire game is about being a Grey Warden. If you didn't become a Grey Warden it'd be a bit like playing a version of Halo 3 where John never fought in the Human-Covenant War, he just sat at home eating pizza and watching TV all day.

Sure, but the game ends during the initial ceremony where you refuse and Duncan has to kill you.

In any of the origin stories, there's a reason you're extradited as a Grey Warden. The only two I've played: city elf and mage, it's pretty much be executed or join. If you'd have chosen not to become a Warden during the ceremony, you'd have been killed. The other option would be running from Duncan somewhere between home and Ostagar, but that would pretty much mean that you wouldn't be around to build an army, thus the darkspawn would take over the surface, thus you'd be dead anyway.
 
Besides, there has to be a limit on path divergence and choices in games, otherwise no game would ever make release.

Okay I started a new game as a dwarf commoner and I am enjoying the origins story way more then the elf stories, I actually want to become a grey warden now.

Its indeed a bit ironic that in a game celebrated for its choices, your forced into the most important one.
Yep...Just like real Life.... and often....marriage.

I'd play that. There could be a pizza eating minigame, a channel changing minigame, a tip the delivery man minigame ... the possibilities are endless. "

Isn't it funny after you see one guy die, and another die from being a coward that you instantly drink the blood? My character must have been thirsty.
 
I was totally expecting to live after that. It would be great if they had a game over screen, and then said, "just kidding."

" No. But if you don't then the Archdemon steps on you in a cutscene. "

No need for name calling. The guy has a point. "

@sadaiyappan: theres an idea... why not just smash the cd in peaces so that the they or the darkspawners will never spawn again from that cd. :D

How is it not relevant?

You bumped a three year old topic to say that?

@believer258: I'll be honest, I'm getting really sick of these necros. At first, they reminded me of 3 to 4 year old classic Giant Bomb. Now they're just bumping random threads with no rhyme nor reason.
