You guys don't beat the game quick? I CAN stretch it out if I want to.

Lady J- yes that and adds other super powerfull spells.


And you told me casting with weapons drawn was overpowered...lol j/k

I think I have that one, I was thinking about the holy wrath or whatever it is being good for a religious mage.

She is going to be archie food, I think.


No, not archie food!  She wouldn't have a reason to do it.  :x

Well, Loghain won't accept the ritual.

If she even brings it up that would indicate she's not looking to die, right? So why wouldn't she let him do it since he's so desperate to?

Oh the divine? Yeah I have that too. I don't mind being OP when I just want to get the game over with.

Hmmm I am undecided on her ending. She doesn't deserve to be too happy after having Alistair executed.


If Loghain decides not to do the DR, he dies.  She has no reason to want to die.  And it's not like she's going to be happy.  If she ever truly realizes what she did, she'll probably feel she deserves to feel the way she does.

And yeah, Zevran's Rinna story would probably work.  As far as rp, she shouldn't hear it before she kills Alistair.  It should come after the end of the game when she's all confused.

I like playing on Nightmare, and have a hard time passing up side quests (especially when they fit my character). Sometimes I decide not to use potions & do nightmare, so I have to think about tactics and plan everything accordingly. My games always end up long. Someday I'm going to play a quick game!

No potion + NM ftw!  Good to find another gameplay fan in this section! :D

For the Dalish lovers...

I was paying closer attention in the Dalish camp in Awakening and noticed it's quite different from the ones in Origins.  It's actually more realistic, I think.  I had said somewhere else that it would make more sense for people who have to move fast in the wilds and hide to have yurt-like structures instead of wagons.  It appears that's what is in this camp as well as the aravels.  I also really like the carpets they show, which remind me of Central Asian kilims.  This is definitely more how I picture a Dalish camp- more realistic dwellings and more colorful.

Posted Image

Here you can see the aravel used as a base for a larger dwelling.  I always wondered what the "mast" was supposed to be for.  What it looks like here is that it unfolds into an awning around the aravel.

Posted Image

Elgar'nan (god of vengeance)?  Or Falon'din (god of the dead)?

Posted Image

These burial posts are interesting.  I take it that this is a variation on the idea of planting a tree.

Posted Image

This sort of detail gives me hope that more is going to be done with the Dalish in future games.

Sorry for the derail...  I didn't do much with Idun tonight other than Cammen and Gheyna, and no one really wants to talk about that.  <_<  I really don't know what's up with that.  It could have been a sweet love story, and I guess it sort of is, but it ends up being a joke.  It also makes the Dalish look like prudes.  I think they would probably take the marriage rituals seriously, but no more seriously than Chantry followers.

Edit:  Oh, I did video talking about the halla.  Zevran says something interesting about them.  The funny thing is that it is Alistair's 2 levels of Survival that allow me to succeed at this quest.  I would LOVE it if they gave you the option to let the shem calm the halla.  That would really blow people's minds, especially since afterwards everyone in camp is saying "wow you have a way with halla, the gods must have blessed you."  Ha!  Alistair the halla farmer.  :wub:

After the Taliesen attack, Zev can tell you about the job before the one to kill you. make sure you ask about his adventures, he'll tell you two of them. Then don't ask about them again until AFTER the archdemon is dead and you're back at camp. THEN he'll tell you about RInna.

Haha what weapon is she using.  2h swords and DW daggers/swords are the only weapons that can decap afaik.  S&S and 1h/2h axe get the shaft.

Yup, my latest HNF has 13 hours on her and she's only done Lothering and Warden's Keep, lol. I really need to learn to close my game when I get distracted!

Def not how I play, but still all my games are 40-45 hours.  I do a lot of side quests, and I'm often scanning the dialogues for new bits.  But combat is the least interesting part so I play on Easy.

I believe it's tied to his approval level so you could potentially hear this even before Taliesin.

You had never heard that?!  Omg!  And I like doing it right after we kill Taliesin and are back at camp.  Just, whatever you do, choose the 'And you felt guilty' line.  Oh my god.  His response is heartrending.

You can only hear about it before Taliesin if you're romancing him.

Yeah, I have gotten it before Taliesin, but like I said, I prefer waiting.

Ahhh!  That explains it.  I never noted which characters could hear it before then.

Did my response to your review answer all your questions?

I didn't even know this dialogue existed... I really should try learning more about Zev sometime.  I don't think I've ever gotten past his story about the mage in the carriage.

Oh, you people!  Ooof!  I feel so bad for Zev everytime I hear that story.  Posted Image
Edit:  So does Alistair.
