Should You Punch or Reason with the First Warden?

Punch the First Warden

Rook Punching the First Warden

Knocking the First Warden out is the best choice since five companions will greatly approve of your choice. However, if you are trying to romance Bellara or Emmrich then talk sense into the First Warden instead to greatly increase your approval with them!

Summary of Choice Outcomes

Prompt
Punch or Talk to the First Warden
First Warden: That's an order, Warden!
Choice Consequence
Knock the First Warden out and take charge:
Well. I tried talking.		 ・Greatly Increases Approval with Lucanis, Davrin, Taash, Neve, and Harding
・Greatly Decreases Approval with Bellara and Emmrich
Talk sense into the First Warden:
Let's be reasonable.		 ・Greatly Increases Approval with Bellara, Emmrich, and Harding
・Greatly Decreases Approval with Lucanis, Davrin, Taash, and Neve

Knock the First Warden Out

Obviously, choosing to knock out the First Warden will lead to Rook punching them. This decision results in the First Warden being a sword enemy of Rook. The First Warden reappears before fighting the Archdemon Razikale.

Talk Sense Into the First Warden

Talking sense to the First Warden will make him an unexpected ally as he eventually accepts Rook's advise. Similar to the first choice, the First Warden will also reappear before the The Siege of Weisshaupt's boss fight.

Choice Does Not Affect the Ending

Do note that punching or reasoning with the First Warden does not affect the ending of Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

When Does the Choice Appear?

During The Siege of Weisshaupt

The choice is prompted during the The Siege of Weisshaupt main quest, after Rook reaches the War Room.
