Concerning the first assignment in the Denerim Market, I think the author of the main article didn't realize that the true goal in the market is to avoid the guards, not to kill them. They turn hostile on proximity, so the basic idea behind all this is to stay in the shadows and to sneak past them. "Sneak" as in "wait until there's enough distance between them and you and run", not as in "stealth", because they will turn hostile even if Leli is in stealth mode. So you need to watch their patrol routes and when they are far enough away, get past them.

The only difficult part is to get the merchant stuff from the crates, because the guards are constantly running around the market in circles, but it's possible, just watch their movements for a couple of minutes, there's always a window which you can use to sneak by. It gets more difficult of course if you want to exchange the stuff in the crates, because you have to re-open chests several times, meaning sneaking to and fro, right under the noses of the guards.

I created the original quest page and later had a short discussion with the author of the walkthrough on this very subject here. I agree with you and the original author is ok with the walkthrough being edited regarding this subject. Nevertheless I have not had the time to go back and replay that part of the game with an eye towards looking at the other potential guard avoidance strategies so I haven't edited it myself yet. If you wish to adjust that section to make it more accurate feel free. -Vim- (talk) 02:28, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Connections to Origins

I was just wondering if anyone thinks it's worth noting that Adaia (City Elf Warden's mother) is one of the prisoners in the dungeons and that an overheard conversation early in the Arl's estate seems to be Vaughn abusing a servant (Tug comments about that one growing up to be something, forget specific wording). THe Vaughn one might be too hard to verify but I thought I'd throw both ideas out there in case someone more experienced here wants to run with it. Millahnna (talk) 05:32, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
