He doesn’t care if you kill him (but he’d rather you didn’t). Sure, he had his reasons, but so does everyone else. Zevran was downright allergic to commitment in Dragon Age: Origins. As with all reunions, someone must win and many must lose. So as a practice run for ruthlessly measuring life milestones against my own graduating class, I’m going to judge my party of Dragon Age: Origins characters on what they’ve managed to accomplish since the events of the game, according to the loose “canon” of BioWare’s subsequent games, comics, novels, and my own playthroughs. I wonder if they would all judge each other on their achievements since the Fifth Blight was defeated, the way that we fear being judged by our own former peers after a decade. As my own 10th anniversary of high school graduation is coming up next year, I’m thinking back on a senior year spent with the fictional crew who made me want to attend university to study games.

Just like a group of once-close high school students, its band of unlikely heroes was scattered to the wind after their glory days hunting darkspawn together. Dragon Age: Origins turned 10 earlier this month.
