Ok so this page is going to be on the dwarf commoner prologue. For those of you who find something amiss please feel free to edit.

In order here is a summery of what this prologue has you do i will go into depth and show side options.
 * Watch opening cinimatic for dwarf commoner
 * Go through dialog, this dialog unlike later ones wont effect you classic crime lord and thug relationship so just answer it however
 * Talk to Leske outside your home
 * Find Oskias
 * Deliver goods to Beraht/Rip Beraht off... more on this later
 * Go to the Provings
 * Impersonate the warrior Everd
 * Escape the Carta Hideout
 * Kill Beraht

Since the opening cinimatic is pretty self-explanitory and the first dialog really isn't much. Let's just pick up after all that...

Ok so after the dialog first thing you should do is in the room you standing in there should be a chest open it and select Take All, it may come in handy it may not, but better safe than sorry.

Now open your invintory and you'll find you have a nice choice of weapons, now if you were smart about this you already planned what type of weapon to use,

if this is your first time playing a Bioware RPG however i can understand it if you didn't.

So after you put your prefered weapon type on, me personally it's the battleaxe, walk outside. You can talk to your mother at the table but basically she is a "drunk old hag who blames you for her social status" so unless you relesh being yelled at i wouldnt advise it. Now it will go to a cut scene where you meet the very helpfull sidekick that is in every prologue, and i'm not being sarcastic he actually is usefull... especially toward the end.

Now Leske will tell you that you need to find and kill Oskias, a surface merchant who has been holding out on Beraht. Now other than small talk and higher caste abuse toward you the only real thing of interest right now is Oskias. Now me i thought it through my first time, where would i go to relax if i knew I was trying to swindle a crime lord... the local pub. So head over to Tapster's Tavern and from here it should be all to easy to spot Oskias. Walk up to him and talk.\

Now here things get a little tricky because there are three ways to do this and unless you chose Coersion skill in the character building proccess you can only get away with one of them.
 * 1) Kill Oskias and deliver the Lyrium Ore to Beraht
 * 2) Let Oskias go for one Lyrium Ore-useless because it has to go to Beraht
 * 3) [Persuade] Have Oskias give you both Lyrium Ore in exchange for his life-Sell on of the ores/Give both to Beraht

Now your easiest way to do this is to kill Oskias, don't be fooled by the talk of 25 soverense/gold. You get 10 silver for one ore and i havent even tried selling both so i couldnt tell you if it works or not.

Now if you don't kill him you need to use persuade on Beraht so be ready for that.

You meet up with Beraht at his shop which in addition to being next to Tapster's Tavern is conviniently named Beraht's Shop. When you go in a cut scene starts that introduces Jarvia who is Beraht's right hand man, or woman as it were. Now if you killed Oskias this will be a fairly easy interaction with the boss. If not you will need to persuade him into beleiving Oskias is dead. now if you actually killed him you will get 10 silver for a job well done. Next he'll assign you to go to the Provings and insure that his "illeagal" gambling turns into a sure fire profit.

When you leave his store go right up the stairs and turn left over the bridge, the Proving enterence is the only door in front of you from here. When you enter walk around for a bit and you'll see a lone human wearing all white. This is Duncan an important character, though not a main character, you might want to talk to him though it's not requiered. Now go down the hall and you'll find Everd, so hammered that he couldn't even beat up a stuffed animal. Well he has glory, you want to prove yourself to the world, and Beraht will likely drop you and your sister if Everd doesn't win. Here's an idea lets impersonate a higher class, thats right were going to fightg in the Provings. Now open the chest in the room and take everything, put on all the armour and choose one of his weapons to fight with. Let's kick ass.

After the provings you find yourself in a guard cell with Leske across from you, sad thing is this isn't a guard cell it's a Carta cell. that means Beraht is likely to try an kill you if you dont escape. Click on the cell door, if you are a rogue and have the basic lock picking skill it will open if not you get a cut scene. Tell the guard that a bar on the door is broken and then use brute force to get the key. Get Leske out and open the chest to get all your stuff back, re-equip and continue on from here loot everything and if it's locked and your a warrior Leske is a rogue and can unlock and of the chests or doors. After you kill Beraht and loot everything in the area, exit into the Carta Shop and then just leave here for the final cutscene.
