I think it's b/c coming from Highever, my HNs see it as being a bad teyrn if you're absent most of the time.  We're good stewards of our lands, damnit!


I think it's mostly the fear of being absorbed fully into Ferelden, that makes the Couslands remain in Highever.
 
Notice how the human noble is asked to remain in Highever and not join the army. I think it's largely because of that.  


Well, to be fair, the teyrn and his heir are going.  It makes sense that your parents don't want to risk both heirs in a single battle.

It annoys me that Fergus only says this to a HNM.

I always took it as Bryce and Eleanor didn't want to send both of their heirs into battle.  Eleanor will scold you if you demand to fight during Howe's seige.  She tells you not to throw your life away because if you die there than the Cousland line will end.

The good news is, Leliana and I BOTH have hair now. The bad news is...I don't like sharing.

 Oh, I like that armor. And it looks like Ines was right after all. I always did like her. Posted Image


It's working pretty well on her as an arcane warrior, I added a crapton of stam and mana regen on the winter forge though. Fatigue hits about 20ish% with *insert aw ability I forget the nam of here* up.

Which looks badass btw, I wish Alistair turned out like that.


I'm glad he didn't!  That concept art looks like Nicolas Cage. :sick:

I believe that's the outfit that gets dropped by the Zombie Chamberlain in Redcliffe Castle. I know that one has no female mesh. 

I suspect quite a few players would dress Leliana permanently in that now, as a reminder for Alistair, of sorts...


Meh. Now I REEEAAALY want such an outfit *pouts*

:lol:

Cullenstair?

Technically it's Conceptartstair but it seems to be popular haircut for the Templars, aye.

Actually, aside from the Cullenhair, I see it.  That armor looks amazing, though.

Both reason coexist and are entertwined. It's clear the Couslands are not going to compromise on their power. And as we all know, the feudal order ended and the absolutist monarchy started when the king was able to tear the nobles away from their lands and put them in his court (best example is Louix IV and Versaille).

So it's imperative for the Couslands to remain in Highever, if they want to mantian their quasi-autonomy.

Morrigan's hairstyle, the hair Leliana wears in-game and tmp's Leliana hair are pretty much the only hairstyles I can stand to give my characters anymore. That I dislike pretty much every other hairstyle is an understatement :x

Well, without the angryhairface he looks like this:

I understand what you're saying.  The reason I said that more than the other is because Eleanor could of stayed alone and fullfilled her obligation as Teyrna.  Eleanor made an excuse for the PC to be there by wanting to leave w/ Bann Loren's wife to go have tea parties or w/e noble pastime they had planned.

 He says that he wishes you were going with him but he supposes your father doesn't want to risk both of his heirs at once.

It was also a good time for the HN to get a chance to try their hand at ruling Highever while everyone else was gone.

And let's be honest here. Who is more intimidating? Alistair? Or Anora Mac Tic? Please. If she or Bhelen are not  perfect deterrents, then there is no way Alistair can pul this off.

Because Anora Mac Tir is sooo intimidating in Origins.  <_<

Yes your right. Preservation of the Cousland line is also an important factor.

Ahhh.  I can see how that would be irritating.  It's why my canon HNF is so serious.  She wants to be taken seriously as a warrior.

Much more intimidating than Alistair, yes. 
And I don't know if it's just me, but yes I thought she was pretty intimidating. Not the scary kind. But the kind that seem to radiate authority. Loghain describing her made that even more apparent.

You're a bad, bad man!  You spark horrid things in my demented little mind.  I now have the urge to photoshop Nic Cages head onto Alistair's body.

Loghain describing her as that is the height of irony, since he spent the whole game riding roughshod over her supposed authority.

That's the SIL talking, right?  You're sure she doesn't say that for a female?

Yes and instead of that you get Oriana talking about how scandalous it is that women are fighting as that would never happen in civilized Antiva...unless you're a woman Crow like Rinna.
