(59:59 ) This is actually one of the easier options with this choice. You don't meet Stroud in the DLCs. The other options for the warden that you meet are Alistair (If he stayed with the wardens) and a secret companion that I don't want to spoil for you unless you want me to.
I mean if it’s someone that I’m not gonna meet in this playthrough because of choices I made or whatever I don’t mind being told, just try not to spoil anything coming up for this playthrough lol
