Dragon Age: Origins is an epic fantasy role-playing game featuring a rich story, personality-driven characters, and tactical, bloody combat. It is considered a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series.
I have a few side quests that I'm looking to get done and there doesn't seem to be a way to do them at the moment because the areas I need to be in are locked. I was wondering if they open up after a certain amount of completetion of the main story line.
The quest in particular is visiting the Alienage to give someone his recruitment papers. The only problem is that the Alienage is closed (I think because my city elf killed the noble that tried to get it on with my future spouse). The guard near the Alienage entrance tells me that the Alienage has been "purged" and it remains closed for the meantime. Does it open up later?
I also have to find 5 hooded couriers in Denerim. I've found 4. I've looked everywhere for the 5th and can't find him. I suspect that again, he might be in the Alienage (or perhaps in the palace) where I don't have access.
Another hint of a quest is the thief quest in Denerim. Talking to the guy after completing the first 2 quests in the chain, and he hints at preparing a big heist in the palace. Does this turn into a quest later or am I done?
Finally, a silly dwarf wants me to ask the circle of mages if she can become a member. I can obviously talk to her and crish her dreams by telling her to go home to her daddy, but can I actually talk to someone at the circle? I went looking at the circle (after I had finished saving the circle) and there is not a mage around to talk to about this. Is there possibly some other place that I haven't looked yet?
Finally, I just want to say that the quest to hunt down the blood mages in Denerim was really hard. The mini-boss for that area was easy, but the room with 3 blood mages in it before it was torturous. First time I thought about turning down the difficulty in the game.
The final hooded courier is in the alienage as you suspected, and it opens up later.
I'm not sure what the thief quest you're talking about it is.
You need to talk tot he First Enchanter to ask permission for the dwarf girl to join the circle, he should be in the first room you enter when you enter the tower (with the quartermaster).
