I guess that is what sort of got me, the whole "I can't believe you killed a little boy" thing, not to mention I had Isolde do it. Then he said something basically implying that she only did it because of me, and that is not the impression I got.

*nods*  Again, irrational.  It's a very visceral reaction, as I see it.  I suppose it would have been better constructed if he would have put up more of a fight before the deed, though maybe the full impact didn't hit him until later on when he thought "Eamon's going to wake up and see me, and think I killed his son."  And he panics.  That's how I interpret it.

I agree, although if you fail the persuasion check he really comes off as a tool tbh.

I think this is a writer's fail for me, I had annuled the circle and without metagaming I had no way of knowing what was going to happen in Redcliffe. There should be a little more there for that. This time through he did not disapprove of wiping out the mages, so he KNOWS that either Isolde or Connor has to die. I suck at expressing myself, I hope you get what I am trying to say.Posted Image


I had a bug in my game --- The circle was already wiped out, and when he's mad he says, "We could've gone to the circle!"

I was like...uhmmm.... actually, no we can't. Don't you remember? We killed them, too!

I'm going to pretend I didn't read that. :P

This.

I agree that it's very irrational. I see it as him really really wanting there to be some other way, some other path that could've been correct. Once it's all over and he has time to think of it he feels awfully guilty,  he's mad both at himself and in general that there wasn't some other way out.

Unless you fail the persuasion check, then he seems to genuinely blame the PC.  Very toolish.

OMG why is the elf/Alistair kiss so incredibly sexy?

The snuggle factor, I think.  It's the only reason I've come up with.  He has to pull her up to him a little.

Yeah, I'm glad I saved beforehand so I can watch again. That is WAY too cute. Awwwwww.Posted Image I am now a fan of Alistair/elf romance.

I have a really hard time playing elves because I can't make their faces stop looking pinchy (especially on the console where there is less ability to customize and no mods) and the humans share the elf problem of being too stick-like. It's like they'll fall over with a strong breeze.


I'm equal opportunity when it comes to race, I have 3 or 4 of each.... but they're all women. My hang-up is that I haven't gotten a male character past the meeting with the king, in Ostagar!

I've only played humans and dwarves. I can't get an elf past Ostagar. Strangely, one of the reasons is how they look, like the dwarf thing for other people.



So far, I've done three human and two dwarf. Probably won't do an elf until I get really bored.

I am so enamored with elves and Alistair.  One of you video-making ladies ought to make me a video of this kiss to pull me through the thesis writing days!  Please?

Makes me want to fail, just to see the dialog. I've never seen it before. I imagine it's like a kid who can't be placated and tells you he hates you and storms off. Then a few hours later, you offer cheese & toys, and he's all happy again. Or in my ex's case, cookies and power tools, and all is forgiven.

Which kiss is it that you're talking about? Or is it all elf/Alistair kisses in general?

I just tried the gate-kiss with Alistair and my elf, and it was soooo sweet!

I'll take a look at the toolset later and see if there is an issue. It could be different dialogue choices. I only lost 7 both killing Isolde and killing Connor.

Heh, I did a search on my screenshot account for "kiss" and came up with three pages full of thumbnails.  You think it's a trend?  LOL

Most of them are elves, too.  HNF did get some love, but not much.

Elves are the bestest, of course.  Especially when you pair them with Alistair.  :wub::wub:

I'm going to write another little Mahariel/ Tamlen flashback with Alistair interlude this weekend, too- been working it out in my head.  I can't believe I'm writing DA fanfiction.  I swore I was only going to do such a silly thing for Tolkien.  LOL

So now the only "questionable" thing I need to do is side with Bronca. Even though she is nuts.

edit: I take that back. I still have to execute Alistair. THAT is going to be hard for me.

Does the Alistair-dwarf kiss involve Alistair holding your head still? I really hate that about the Zevran kiss. It just comes off as sort of patronizing to me, although I'm sure no one from the people who animated it to Zevran himself actually meant it that way. Posted Image

The vanilla kisses, he just holds the back of your head with one hand while the other hand holds your back.
