Dragon Age: Origins/Trivia

• Fan Nickname:
  • One of the writers named the dog Rabbit, making it a popular choice.
  • Another common name is Barkspawn, popularized by Tycho Brahe of Penny Arcade, who did the official Dragon Age comics.
    • Ascended Meme: In the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC, Dog's name is Barkspawn.
• Hey, It's That Voice!:
  • If you just played Uncharted Drakes Fortune, you may be confused by Chloe Frazer (voiced by Claudia Black, Morrigan) belitting Harry Flynn (voiced by Steve Valentine, Alistair) in a Fantasy Counterpart Culture setting. Also Zoran Lazarevic is the Arl of Redcliffe.
  • An announcement to all Assassin's Creed players: Duncan is not going to betray you. You can stop glaring at him now.
  • In Awakening, who would've thought we would hear Zaeed Massani speak the words of the Joining?
    • Or that he'd be locked in a Civil War in Orzammar?
    • Or that he'd be the mayor of Redcliffe? Seriously, Robin Sachs voices way too many major roles, and it's even more noticeable if you know him from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Galaxy Quest, or Mass Effect 2.
  • Velanna sounds almost exactly like another human hating, sibling conflicted, cranky pants magic user.
    • Although not human hating, she's still a sibling conflicted, cranky pants firebender too.
  • Mass Effect fans playing the Dalish origin may feel the urge to ask Marethari if they've gotten hammered together before.
  • One of the random dwarves outside Orzammar sounds like he's about to say this is his favorite stall on the Citadel. Also, a male Elf character with the Experienced voice set has had enough of your disingenuous assertions.
  • A Human male with the Mystical voice set plays the leading man, who else?
  • The city elf's father is Saren.
    • The Reapers alone voices a good deal of the Dwarf Wardens.
  • Niall's despondent and suicidally depressed dialogue never seems more than two syllables away from "Re-l."
  • Hespith, and Lady Helmi in the Dwarf Noble Origin are both voiced by Gianna Parasini.
  • The announcer for the Proving is Colonel Campbell
  • Zathrian is voiced by a certain black Vulcan.
  • Steve Blum. That is all.
  • Oh dear... Raine Sage needs you to help her care for her poor Halla.
  • Amanda Evert had a relationship with Leliana, before betraying her and fleeing Ferelden.
  • Teyrn Loghain was always considered heartless...
• Let's Play: One in German by Gronkh.
• Shrug of God: When asked about Maric's cause of death, David Gaider repeatedly stated that it was irrelevant before finally revealing that he was lost at sea.
