Additional Encoutners

The following section details a small assortment of optional cutscenes, conversations, events and activities that you can encounter during the three main Acts.

Act 1

• There is a special reactive event at the Wounded Coast that only occurs if you play with an imported Dragon Age: Origins save file in which you sided with the elves in the Nature of the Beast quest, or if you chose the Hero of Ferelden or The Martyr world states during the Prologue. On arrival in the area, take the south path to meet a Dalish Assassin remonstrating with a human.

• Corff the Bartender has news to share if you speak with him in  The Hanged Man. Certain lines will reflect decisions you made in Dragon Age: Origins if you imported a save file.

• There is a Donation Box inside Lirene’s Fereldan Imports. Placing money inside leads to a small XP reward: 50 XP for 50 silver, 100 XP for one sovereign and 200 XP for five sovereigns.

Act 2

• You can hire a prostitute in The Blooming Rose… with amusing results. If you are in an active romance and they are in the active party when you do this, there is a rivalry increase.

• If you sent Feynriel to live with the Dalish in the Wayward Son quest, there is a reactive event when you visit Sundermount for the first time in Act 2. You will encounter templars arguing with Dalish warriors. You can intervene and resolve the situation in many ways.

Act 3

• If you completed Magistrate’s Orders and chose to kill Kelder, pay a visit to the elven alienage during the day to meet Lia, the young elf you saved. This brief cutscene is extended if Aveline is in your current party.

• Visit Sundermount at any time in Act 3 to explore the Hidden Dungeon. This “optional” map is not part of any quests and features a small selection of undead and high-rank Fade creatures to fight en route to the central area. On arrival you can shop with the Nexus Golem, who has a handful of remarkable items to sell. Use the nearby door to return to Sundermount.

• If Feynriel was possessed at the end of Night Terrors (the automatic conclusion if you did not undertake the quest), you will encounter an unusual scene in Lowtown’s market area if you visit at night, where Feynriel appears to have become a Dream Stalker.
