Legion of dead as allies

[bstangeby]

Maybe I remember wrong but I seem to remember one time managed to get legion of dead as a 5 ally to call upon during final battle.
I have supported Branka and had golems join me but I have also destroyed the anvil and only had 4 allies to call upon.
So what did I do to call upon legion of dead as allies?

After the next King is Declared, the Legion Dwarf that you encountered in the Deep Roads approaches you( Kardol) . You have the dialogue option to ask him for help agaist the Blight. If you succeed in a persuation check you get them as an ally . The Anvil and King choices are irrelevant.

I also THINK you can get them without the persuation check if you are a Dwarf.

Edit : From The DA wiki website :

After the Warden has returned from the Deep Roads and chooses the new king of Orzammar, Kardol appears in the Diamond Quarter. He announces that the Legion will attempt to cut off the horde's retreat after Urthemiel is slain, but he can be persuaded (four points in Coercion are required) to bring the Legion topside to fight the Blight directly. However, if the Warden is a dwarf, he will gladly offer the support of the Legion without asking him. If the Legion participates in The Battle of Denerim, he will appear as an ally atop the roof of Fort Drakon during the final battle against the Archdemon.

I dont see the point really. Sure it could prevent a fight with Sten but you still get a option to let him remain. Alistar goes insane on you if kill that kid. Think seen -20 opinion and could have been persuaded to prevent so much loss. But still have gifts to get the opinion back. Think you can persuade a couple npc to avoid fights. But why do I want that. That will not give me any xp. Can not use it to negotiate discounts with merchants. There sure is a few items with merchants that are so expensive that so dont see the point to buy.

I like playing charismatic characters and having options even if I don't always use them.

Besides, it's not like the other skills are overly useful for a mage anyways.
