I love a good tactical challenge! I keep meaning to do a solo run, but I'm too addicted to the characters to leave them behind. And it doesn't mesh with my story sense to bring them, and then sit them on the sidelines :D Well, too often anyway. I have RP'd that I was exploring ahead in the tunnels and had to take on the darkspawn by myself once or twice.

Haha same!  That's why I can't seem to get myself to give up the Cauthrien fight... it's too fun!

I love trying different builds and gear sets + team combos almost as much as the storyline itself.  My last game (NM/no pots) I ran a melee train PC (sin/bard) + Oghren (zerker/champ) + Alistair (temp/champ) + Wynne (spirit/AW) and we absolutely destroyed everything!  Alistair is surprisingly beefy at max approval with his con bonus and Cailan's set.


He is! I love mixing up the team combos. This time through I'm running with all warriors & rogues, and I can only use pots that I pick up I can't make any of them. It's getting interesting now that I'm in the deep roads and about to have the Branka/Cairidin fight!

Ugh, how did the spider queen go?  That's like the hardest fight for a melee heavy team imo :pinched:


That's been the hardest part so far. My PC was last man standing. I used up all the bombs I had - I have two characters spec'd for poison, so we could alternate with the cooldowns. It was killer. But fun though!

Yeah, but Leli comes with 2!  And by the time I get him she's usually maxed out the tree already or is close to it.  Plus she's... hard to resist.

Ah, well, now we come to it.  <_<

Well can you blame me?  Even Alistair couldn't resist her ninja love!

Leliana makes her move!

Just remember how that turned out.  The world ending, etc.

I Wish she was more like the SA trailer. I think I'll just give that personality to Caislyn...she can be a badass good girl.

Well there are like a bazillion Leliana morphs out there.  There's even an armor set based off her trailer costume (I use it on her every game now!)

Though I like her vanilla face tbh.


I don't mean her looks, just her attitude. I have a great morph for her actually.

I just wish she acted more like the SA version, instead of "ohhh hair! Eyelashes!! SHOES!!"...lol

I think I might go with Falon'Din.  As guide he might be depicted with a staff - the elves apparently bury staffs of oak to keep their loved ones from stumbling while wandering, and cedar to keep away Dirmathen's ravens away.

Ooh, you're like a fount of knowledge.  LOL


lol I needed a break from the thesis before, so I started reading codex entries.  :P

Well, Lanaya says (if you talk Gheyna into accepting Cammen) that the elves try to teach their young to be patient and not make hasty decisions.  While she's referring specifically to their bonding, I think that might also correspond to intimate relationships in general.  I like to think that the Dalish are careful because their bond are more or less permanent - back at that "avoid hasty decisions" idea.

I hate that she gives you that line even when you're Dalish, as if you're not supposed to know that.  So I kind of ignore Lanaya after putting Cammen and Gheyna together, and RP it as my Dalish realizing that sometimes life doesn't wait for patience - she lost Tamlen and never got to tell him how much he meant to her because she waited.  So the pain of losing Tamlen made her do something she wouldn't normally do - put together two children into a permanent relationship - and also is part of the impetus for giving into her feelings for Alistair, despite the fact that he's human.

Ah, I never talked to her about Cammen and Gheyna.  Idun and Tamlen did the deed, though she thought that they would be together forever.  Would you say that the elves have more permanent relationships than say, an Alistair type?  Is there something about the immortality that plays in here?


Well, the whole permanence thing is all in my own head, of course, so you're free to RP it how you want.  But I guess the...what is it, Dragonlance elves, I think it is, kind of sticks with me, how they form few friendships or lasting enmities because they're so long lived that such strong emotions would be disruptive for very long times.  I kind of imagine that DAO immortal elves would run along the same lines - especially since they're said to have spent centuries saying hello, or contemplating even simple things.

Even though the Dalish aren't back to immortality, in trying to achieve it, they do seem to be working towards breeding patience back into their children, and trying to weed away the impatience of the humans and flat ears.

So in my mind, they try hard to make such relationships as permanent as possible, kind of all or nothing, hence Cammen and Gheyna's reluctance to enter into anything together before they agreed to bond with each other.

The spider queen was actually harder than the broodmother. But not as terrifying to look at :?

That image is disturbing, yet I can't seem to look away! The look on Alistair's face... I think he's disturbed too! She's taken on the qualities of Cmes's dog!

Heck, I don't mind the "Ohhh sparkly!" personality if it was offset by some kind of awesomeness. But she's not awesome at any point in the game, at least not that I've seen.

If she had just a little bit of Zev or Morrigan to her, just a touch of it...it would help. I'm going to hit her with a feast day gift and harden her early, see if that helps at all? maybe her dialogs change, who knows.

Ohhh, that Leliana is sooooooo pretty! I might be persuaded to romance Leliana if she were that pretty (if I could stay awake, that is)

I have romanced her with a male and female. I honestly can't say whether or not I have ever hardened her. I found her boring both ways.

after Marjolaine, if you tell her that she shouldn't feel bad for being what she is, that she's a bard a spy, she'll be hardened.

It doesn't, she tends to be the first personal quest I do, which is sometimes before I finish my first Treaty. Though, to her credit, she is very easy to befriend and when you learn her romance starters you can pretty much skip through all the dialogue with her. I get her up to 100 early and just forget about her.
