Artist's Commentary

NOTE: Added Tamlen's tattoo.

My entry for #Tamlen-Fan-Club 's 'What if' contest.

What if Tamlen had become the Grey Warden instead of Mahariel? Then Mahariel would've shown up later as the 'tormented shriek'. So sad.

All comments and faves are very much appreciated! Thank you!

Critique is welcome!

So heart breaking, and it also made me glad to know I'm not the only one who wondered what would have happened if it was Tamlen who would have been rescued by Duncan instead of Mahariel.
Or wonder about scenarios like "What Tamlen survived the Joining, only to wake up and discover that Mahariel didn't", or other angsty things like that.
....... *goes to hug Grey Warden plushie*.

I really wished he could have been saved I loved Tamlen though you know him all for about fifteen minuets or so *if you had to check everything out like I did* I wish he was a romance option for Dalish origin ;-;
This broke my heart. You captured it very well.

That scene made me cry. I wish I could've said: "I love you too." But then Alistair would've been up in my face.

I think the only emotion was a eyebrow scrunch in the Human Noble origin to show sadness.

FaeTian In reply to narutofanforever105 [2011-07-25 02:40:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I think the human noble should've looked a little more upset considering what was going on.

I wonder if they're going to make another spinoff or, sequel like Awakening for DA2.

They had Dragon Age 3 confirmed. One of the area designers posted on his twitter:"Looking for good area designers for Dragon Age 3."

Yay! I also heard that we will probably be playing as a new protagonist in DA3. Should be interesting.

narutofanforever105 In reply to FaeTian [2011-08-08 20:30:27 +0000 UTC]

I wonder if we'll be looking for the Champion or Warden or both. And who will we be romancing.

And I just found out that Kaidan from mass Effect will be uber pissed I left him for Garrus in Mass Effect 3. (It's his own fault)

FaeTian In reply to narutofanforever105 [2011-08-12 12:56:36 +0000 UTC]

I think it would be very cool if the PC was looking for the champion and warden. And I would really like Cullen to be romanceable! He's quite popular with the female fanbase!

LOL, it is totally his own fault! He'll also be a bit of a hypocrite if he's upset because in his email you sends you he says that he's started seeing a doctor (he does mention it's nothing serious yet though).

narutofanforever105 In reply to FaeTian [2011-08-12 19:41:13 +0000 UTC]

I bet if you had a female Amell he'll say something like:" I never felt this way towards anyone before...Expect one, and she never returned my feelings." (I would've if you let me. )

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. But I can totally imagine him walking in as FemShep snuggles with her new romance.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

FaeTian In reply to narutofanforever105 [2011-08-15 13:28:43 +0000 UTC]

Aww, yeah. I still really want him to be with my Amell! She loves him too, but feels that despite the fact that he has a thing for her he doesn't want to be with her because she's a mage! (Surana feels the same way). Oh, the drama!

Yeah, my FemShep will promptly tell him to take a hike.

narutofanforever105 In reply to FaeTian [2011-08-15 18:27:41 +0000 UTC]

PLZ Bioware! Make him see our Amell again! But unfortunately my main Amell romanced Zev. (I wanted Alistair but I killed Isolde, his approval wasn't enough to romance him. So I had Zev instead)

Yup. I will too. (Plz cure Thane. I like him too...But sometimes he creeps me out. He remembers disturbing things in front of my other FemShep.)

FaeTian In reply to narutofanforever105 [2011-08-21 21:48:50 +0000 UTC]

My Amell isn't romancing anyone because she's in love with Cullen. If she can't have him she wants no one. Lol.

I don't know if I'd want them to cure Thane... it has been confirmed that Thane will be alive at the beginning of ME3 though.

narutofanforever105 In reply to FaeTian [2011-08-22 04:14:10 +0000 UTC]

I must make another playthrough of FemAmell. And then play DA2 over again.

I like Thane. The way Garrus acts during his romance reminds me of Alistair. HE'S HIS ALIEN REINCARNATION!

FaeTian In reply to narutofanforever105 [2011-08-31 14:05:50 +0000 UTC]

I like Thane too, I just can't help but feel uncomfortable romancing him sometimes. I mean, it's rather obvious he's not over his wife so I feel like my FemShep is a sort of replacement sometimes. And then there is the fact that he has a perfect memory and might just remember something awkward when he and Shep are being intimate. Lol. I honestly like him, I just wish they had left the whole dead wife thing out of his backstory. Ah well. I'll stick with Garrus.

narutofanforever105 In reply to FaeTian [2011-08-31 23:21:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. I feel you too. I always laugh when Mordin gives us the Medical Advice.
My Shep: Wait, so if I kiss Garrus I could get a allergic reaction?
Mordin: Yes.
Shep:...That ruins the romantic feel.

Seeing Tamlen as a shriek is one of the saddest moments in all of 'Origins'. Really wish my Warden could have cried. I love that you picked that for this contest. Just lovely, my friend. ♥

When I saw it in the little message thingy, I was like "What's this?" Then I made it big and said to myself "Oh, it's Tamlem." when I recognized the character. Then I looked at the whole picture and said "Oooooooh... It's Tamlem "
I don't know if he could handle that one
Great job though!

I didn't think Tamlen could be that strong. Going off of how deeply he felt for her. I could bearly even do it. If he hadn't attacked me I dont think I could have. This is so sad. I miss Tamlen.

FaeTian In reply to Comic-Ninja-Whoot [2011-07-06 01:51:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, he pretty much forces Mahariel to kill him by attacking her. I miss him too when I play the Dalish origin. I wish he didn't have to have such an awful fate.

Comic-Ninja-Whoot In reply to FaeTian [2011-07-06 22:12:48 +0000 UTC]

I know couldn't Bioware have made it to where he met someother Gray Wardens on thier way to Ostagar who cured him and then he ran away before the battle or was with you in the battle and also go rescured? Or something better written by equallly as happy. I mean you didnt have to make you PC kill him in the end. I just doesnt make for a happy game.

I know how you feel. I know Bioware says that Dragon Age is a dark fantasy, but that doesn't mean they need to make everything so downright depressing. Lol.

Comic-Ninja-Whoot In reply to FaeTian [2011-07-18 07:14:53 +0000 UTC]

And I thought DAO was depressing but in DA2... I mean come on. Seriously people your charactor cant be happy for more than 4 seconds. Ya and at the end of the 3rd second the world starts falling apart. The ogres come the apple's posioned The house is on fire. I mean can we not get 5 minutes of happyness? Bioware is sad.

Bioware really needs to include some happiness in their games if they don't want their whole fanbase to suffer from severe depression! Lol.
