Changes: Feastday Gifts and Pranks

Revision as of 14:55, 22 June 2018

“Throughout Thedas, the great holiday of Satinalia is marked by sumptuous feasts, wild celebration, and naming the town fool as ruler for a day. Amid the feasting, it is customary for friends, lovers, and traveling companions to exchange gifts and pranks.” ―Official description^[1]

Feastday Gifts and Feastday Pranks are downloadable content packs for Dragon Age: Origins. The gifts and pranks are fun items which allow the player to "mess around" with the party approval system. The items can be purchased from Bodahn Feddic in the Party Camp. Each companion has a unique gift and prank. Many of the items are either usable or can be equipped and possess amusing effects. Most items are restricted to a specific companion. The gifts give (+50), while the pranks give (-50).

The DLC packs were fittingly released on April 1, 2010—in other words, on April Fools' Day. Each pack is currently available separately on the Xbox Live Marketplace, the PC, and the PlayStation Store, and can also be purchased as a combined Gifts and Pranks pack.

Both "Feastday Gifts" and "Feastday Pranks" are listed as quests to be completed under the Downloadable Content category. In order to complete the "quests" one must buy at least one gift and one prank from Bodahn. This will complete the quest; the items don't actually need to be given and may be destroyed or sold.

Feastday Gifts pack

All companion specific gifts give (+50).

Alistair Doll for Morrigan. It becomes an Alistair Doll that she can play with to inflict injuries on Alistair if present.

Amulet of Memories for Wynne. It becomes an item, Amulet of Memories that summons characters known to her.

Beard Flask for Oghren. It becomes an item, Beard Flask, that gives him a small buff to strength (+2 strength).

Fat Lute for Leliana. It becomes an instrument that she can play.

Grey Warden Hand Puppet for Alistair. It becomes a toy that he can play with.

King Maric's Shield for the secret companion. It becomes a heavy shield, King Maric's Shield.

Pet Rock for Shale. It becomes a Pet Rock that Shale can play with.

Qunari Prayers for the Dead for Sten. He can read it and revive any fallen party members.

Rare Antivan Brandy for Zevran. It becomes an item, Rare Antivan Brandy, that gives him a small buff to dexterity (+2 dexterity).

Stick for Dog. Anyone (except Shale) can throw the Stick for Dog to fetch.

The following gifts are not specific to anyone. Sugar Cake (+5)

Thoughtful Gift (+10)

Unlike the other gifts, Bodahn initially stocks 50 each of the Thoughtful Gift and Sugar Cake, so it can be gifted multiple times. However, there is a small fee for each item.

Feastday Pranks pack

All companion specific pranks give (-50). Needless to say, it's advisable to save the game before giving any of these. That said, several of the items actually can be considered useful.

Protective Cone for Dog. It replaces any equipped mabari collar with Protective Cone. If you give Dog the Cone, and then the Stick, Dog acquires Dexterity bonus companion skills for having +100 Approval.

Compleat Geneaology of the Kyngs of Ferelden for Alistair.

The Chant of Light, Unabridged for Morrigan.

Butterfly Sword for Sten. It becomes a greatsword, Butterfly Sword.

Uncrushable Pigeon for Shale. It becomes a large crystal, Uncrushable Pigeon.

Ugly Boots for Leliana. It becomes a pair of light boots, Ugly Boots.

Chastity Belt for Zevran. It replaces any equipped belt with Chastity Belt. If you invite Zevran to your tent while the belt is equipped, the game will still cut to the love making scene.

Cat Lady's Hobble-Stick for Wynne. It becomes an item, Cat Lady's Hobble-Stick, that can summon a cat that can be used distract enemies during combat.

Scented Soap for Oghren. It becomes an item, Scented Soap, that can be used by anyone to remove blood spatter.

Orlesian Mask for the secret companion.

The following pranks are not specific to anyone.

Rotten Onion (-10)

Lump of Charcoal (-5)

Unlike the other pranks, Bodahn initially stocks 50 each of the Rotten Onion and Lump of Coal, so it can be gifted multiple times. However, there is a small fee for each item.

Notes

Sten's Butterfly Sword is the only gift that (without mods) imports into Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening.

Bugs

ps3 Bodahn's store resets, losing any items you have sold to him previously. This appears to happen only once as later items sold to him remain available for repurchase.
pcps3xbox360 Upon storing the items within the party storage chest (Warden's Keep downloadable content) the gifts will reappear within Bodahn's store, and may be purchased and given to your companions again, for additional approval changes.
pc Giving a Feastday gift to a companion when they are already at Friendly or Adore (and possibly Love) can lower that rating back to Warm. The rating does not lower numerically.
pcxbox360 Dialog options are sometimes not available once a companion's approval rating is at certain levels. If you wish to romance a character use feastday items with caution.
