I think I may have to respec into a DW at this point. S&S is too damn boring and I want my decaps. The Aeducan shield is not worth this trauma! I give Alistair the Cousland shield after I romance him, he can have the Aeducan one too.


LOL yeah he's got Serena's too. She's a rogue, shields are pretty useless for her.


Is this a more common practice than I thought (giving family special items [HN & DN] to romance companions)? I do the same thing TBH

 Apparently so. I've got to say, it never occured to me to do so until someone brought it up yesterday but I don't like the idea of it.

I think it works better with the HN since you have both the Shield of Highever and the Cousland Guard Shield at your disposal. Me, I equip the SOH on my Cousland, and the RomCom takes the CGS.

Well that's one thing. It's heraldry but not particularly precious to you and you can get other Cousland shields later if you must. I'm just strangely sentimental about family heirlooms and wouldn't want to give them to anyone but another relative of the next generation and hope that they'd be able to appreciate it and not give it to their spouse.

Hmm never really occured to me tbh. My Cousland kept her blade to the end (paired it with Topsider's honour eventually, that was like first time ever for her to grudgingly acknowledge an elf could be somewhat of an equal) And for my CE the only way to part with her mother's blade is when they pry it off her cold dead fingers.

... okay she did give Leliana the shoes and these were sort of a special family item too. Posted Image

Are you kidding me? the human noble's family was just alughtered and it's all that's LEFT of them. The sword and shield are so important they are locked up in the armory, and you fight your butt off to save them, because they're too important to let fall into Howe's hands. It has been in service to the Couslands since they fought aalongside King Calenhad.

If I am S&S I keep the family sword/Shield to smash into Howe's face (and wear to the Landsmeet). Otherwise I have no other sentimentality attached to in game items. I give them to who can best make use of them. its kind of stupid it just sits in your inventory doing nothing when it can be used in game. If I have no use for it then I sell it. Inventory slots are precious if you have a lot of mods on your game.

My HNF is (so far) a rogue. She keeps the sword the whole game, eventually pairing it with Starfang. Alistair carries the shield.

No, not that shield. I was talking about the shield that is just a regualr shield that all the knights carry that you can get off one of the knight's corpses. On the one hand, it is one of only things you have with the Cousland symbol on it. On the other, once the Blight is over you can find another one and others will be made. The family sword and shield are, of course, very important to them.

Edit: Or maybe you also get it in the armory. All I know is you get a regular knight of Highever shield with the Cousland symbol on it and I doubt that that is really all that important to you when compared with your family's shield.

Oh the guard shield, yeah that usually gets vendored. Even when I start playing mine with the Gilmore mod, he carries a two hander in the origin so he won't use it. And Alistair gets the family shield.

@yuki -- play what you enjoy. I made a 2H DN so I could wield Trian's maul, but man, that playstyle was boring as hell. Stuck with it because I already had a S&S DN. Kept my characters feeling different, at least.

Even though I never play S&S I keep the sword/shield.  Usually it stays in my war's 2ndary weapon slot for the entire game.  It doesn't see a lot of use, but a quick weapon swap and shield bash can help a LOT in the early game where 2h lags behind  a bit.  It's on a seperate CD from Pommel Strike, so you can alternate for "stunlock" goodness.

TMP can you make a Deep Roads be gone mod? I am really really really sick of the Deep Roads after a number of playthroughs. I even end up doing Harrowmont's quests more simply because it means less time dragging my party down into the depths of the earth to deal with that psycho idiot Branka.

Yeah, the only reason I stuck with S&S is because I don't have any. But it's just too boring, jeez. I don't have any current DW characters so I guess it's an excuse to make one :D

TBH I dunno what an IRL squee is. Probably something that makes you smile and go "eeee"? Dunno.

You don't know?  You haven't "squeed" yet? 

Edit: Or is it "squeen?"  Hmmm. *ponders*

Maybe I have? I am not really sure what the consensus is. Then again IRL I am very reserved in my emotional reactions unless it is anger, then  I go off like a firecracker. Bad temper, lol.

This is an override for the Orion's Armor Dwarf.  As you can see it is compatible w/ all female races.

I thought one of the Alistairian requirements was to squee all  over him.  Odd, typing that made me feel dirty for some reason.

  My high school was filled with squeeing fangirls, particularly around the time the first Twlight movie came out. I'm sure.
