It does not say. I will try giving a call tomorrow. I don't really want to have to create a whole new email address for it, since apparently both of mine are listed on the frickin' thing.



And I am losing my mind trying to keep everyone alive at redcliffe with no healing. I keep coming this close and then one fool dies.

If Lloyd's 'you mean there are dwarves that AREN'T smiths' didn't ****** me off already then trying to keep him alive most certainly will. He thinks he has plot immunity or something but he doesn't! I have to keep my eye on him he whole time and if he lives then I can be reasonably sure everyone else did, too.



And I hope you can figure that out. That sounds like a mess.

Thanks! I was going to ask for people's fav male voice soon. The one I picked last time was stupid.

I know that the one female voice I can't stand is the first one on the list. I didn't bother changing it yesterday when I recreated my character so I could manually take some pictures for the commission but DAMN did her voice get on my nerves for the twenty or so minutes I had to put up with it.

I hate all human female voices, every last one. I silence them.

 Currently on ff.net it says that there are:
1396 DA stories
570 Alistair stories
405 Cousland stories
215 Alistair/Cousland stories
139 Tabris stories
138 Amell stories
99 Mahariel stories
95 Surana stories
43 Aeducan stories
28 Brosca stories
So yeah, a large chunk of them involve Cousland and/or Alistair but that's because so many people like it. I know I've read all the Aeducan stories on there and that's fine because it's only 43 and of those 43 I've written 14 which is very nearly a third. Can you imagine trying to read even just all the Alistair/Cousland stories on there? 

Basically, just write whatever makes you happy and if other people complain they've seen the pairing before it's only becase other people love it as much as you do and the complainer has been reading those kinds of stories too. Posted Image

wonders how many crack pairings there are in Dragon Age yet
speaking of Aeducan stories I am reading 'Of a Kind.' that is a cute story
and just thanks for the encouragment it really helps the confidence of a writer, seriously

sadly I don't have that much free time to sit in front of a screen and a lot of stories



and the human male cocky voice is my favorite it really helps with my mage's personality; he has a bit of a cocky personality and is a womanizer, I wonder how many girls I can get him to kiss in the game..
my favorite female voice is the sultry voice, its too cute."I will watch where I loot.":P

female sultry for both elf and human is actually voiced by the same woman but I kinda wish they had a cute voice for dwarf

Lloyd's hiding out in his tavern.  My PC hasn't gotten to the point where she's threatening people with death.  It's pissing me off b/c I've done it before and it's just not working this time and I'll be damned if I don't get it now.

I wish there were a way to silence everything but the grunting noises, haha. I mean, the character should make noise when fighting or getting injured. They just shouldn't make smartass comments all the time. It's annoying when they're comments directed at the player, at least when NPCs do the same it can be written off as the PC giving them orders :/

you mean like the infamous "Do you need a ladder, so you can get off my back!"

Ithink I'm going to end up arguing with my Dalish Elf because he keeps on telling me that in the game.

Experienced is the one I am using on my current elf. It is the only one I don't silence.

Oh, I love 'Of a Kind.' With my story I'm trying to keep in mind all the things a dwarf would find weird about the surface and then I get to that story and I'm like 'yeah, they might not know they can walk on grass. Alistair might need Morrigan to preserve that rose or it would be wilted by the time he gave it to her. And Ostagar probably wouldn't sell any dwarven armor since she's apparently the only dwarf there.' And the chapter where Alistair is trying to figure out what the deal is with Gorim and Leliana drags him away from that reunion...I liked how they described Gorim's reaction rather than his trying to get rid of you in canon and offering a discount not two minutes after letting you know you're now single because he's married. Who even does that?!?! Posted Image

I had blue on my dark blonde PC but didn't like it so I made them grey.

You can make any eye color into a Mary Sue color. For example... ~she had eyes of the deepest caramel, which glittered like pieces of dark amber in the afternoon sun~... or something.

an idiot :?
I think your dwarf needs a vacations
I actually put Of a Kind on my kindle for I can read it on my trip
I am going to have a kindle full of Dragon Age, Harry Potter and Final Fantasy 7 fanfics :P


You know whats really funny when King Calian talked to my Maya Brosca and he mentions stout folk
I just had this image of my Maya screaming "Who are you calling a peewee midget dwarf?!?"

and does Ser Cauthrien say "Stay quiet you child?" I could have sworn she said that and I had an image of a twitching noble girl...


Edit: Hmmm if it helps I gave two of my wardens purple eyes...eye color is eye color....I think when its multi color that's when its a Mary-Sue or Marty-Stu

I was thinking more 'colors not found in nature' as the obvious MS choice so that rules out orange, yellow, and violet and then green is rarer. Most blondes w/out brown eyes have blue, right? Still, I don't think I've come across many grey-eyed MS.

 At least he came clean at the start instead of just ditching his wife and coming along or simply not mentioning her in case he got to go back to Orzammar or because he didn't want to deal with her reaction.

My dwarf needs a vacation? What do you mean? Posted Image

I thought it was funny when Cailan waxes poetic about dwarven ale and you know he's never tried it because all those who can afford it import their alcohol from the Surface.

I think what Cauthrien said was 'churl' which is a medieval way of saying peasant. Still, at least it wasn't a crack about my height.

I just had the most bizarre bug! Wynne's voice came out of Alistair's mouth! And then he answered back, in his own voice! Wynne is dead this playthough... so maybe he's channeling her spirit??!!! o_O

never mind drowsy thought ^^;

yeah I give him props for that but gotta love the convo between him and Oghern I think Blum had fun doing that

I know he's like "Lets drinks together!" I was thinking "Does Calian have a dwarf complex?"
speaking of ale I finally got Oghern to 100 friendly with me.....my Warden needs more of that ale, my only regret is that I didn't take screenshots of that moment, I felt proud of myself.

I'll let my HNF know that after she defeats Cauthrien; I wonder which is worse being called a child or short?

I got so annoyed the one time I got that conversation. Gorim was not the DN's personal bootlicker and no amount of 'my CE doesn't even know these people' made me less mad at him. Posted Image I just wish there could have been an option for him to start saying that in a DN game and you could smack him for that. I mean, I love Oghen but I Posted Image Gorim more. Posted Image Getting Oghren to 100 friendly took several playthroughs and I finally realized it was a lot easier if I talked Branka into suicide as that got  +7 and the best you can hope for when you kill her is -3 and unless you ask Oghren if he wants anything from Caridin you get -10.

I think being called a child would be wors because that implies that you're so short that they mistook you for a child instead of just being not as tall as everyone else.

I almost never go back to camp anymore and since I usually do Redcliffe last I got back after the Landsmeet one time with Loghain in my party only to have him immediately channel poor, married-to-Anora Alistair and thank me for saving the Arl's family that he endangered in the first place. It was quite bizarre.

AHA!!!!!  It was that looping thing, my little Fraps snafu.  Naturally it had to be all down to user error.  <_<  I was holding down the capture key too long, so the program does 30-second recordings on a loop until you press capture again to restart the loop.  When I just lightly tapped it, I got a regular video again.

*facepalm*

The Alistair-elf-smoochfest is back in business.

This time I re-did the swooping kiss in a little more scenic venue, and chose a couple of different responses for variety's sake.

And I have a human mage, ready to hopefully add to my overall goal. One canon of each origin. Of course it's taking me ages to play through trying to attain this. This one is going to listen to Jowan, and turn to Irving, thinking it's for Jowan's own good. I did my best to not go and try making her LOOK all badass, just normal. And She wants to join the wardens, and told Duncan this. Man is he annoyed at the circle/chantry. First time I've talked to him in his room and man he is ticked.
