maybethings:
I’m not going to suggest that Sten be given a cookie for changing his mind and seeing the worth of a female Warden. But I would argue the Qunari have bupkis to do with The Stolen Throne.
Also I wonder what the OP’s thoughts are on Sten and a mage!Warden.
I believe what is happening here is that anonOP is trying to express that reading The Stolen Throne made them more sympathetic toward Loghain, who used to be their least favorite character before their mild change of heart. Now that Loghain has been bumped up slightly on the roster, Sten is in their last place slot.
Poor life choices all around for chucking two of the most complex and narratively interesting partymembers in DA:O the bin, but what can you do?
