Interesting....so I'm guessing Hawkgirl from the promo art is Hawke's sister or Flemeth?

Heh....I just noticed Hawkgirl/Hawke. I've been calling her that since before we knew Hawke's name, but just noticed now its the same. Yes, I'm that slow. I'm blonde, give me a break.

Lol, well I'm totally gonna name my femhawke Lady Hawke. I know I know, not original but I loved the movie....

I'm going to have a tough time naming Hawke.... I name all my canon VG characters Melania. But since DA2 runs parallel to DAO, and my warden is named Melania, should I name Hawke Melania too?? Maybe pretend its a common name in Thedas?? Oh, the stress!!!!

I'll give you a soothing Alistair pic against the stress

If Hawke was from Lothering and you're playing a HN then you can RP that she was older and Hawke was named after the Teyrn's daughter. That kind of thing happens IRL all the time.

we need more of him in awakenings and also a real wedding i can imagine the smile he would have then )

Not a bad idea....I could just name her Mel to avoid confusion.

I love how this is the biggest problem of my day...

lol Mel. Maybe the default name is pretty. I always rename my Human Nobles but lately have been going with Defaults for my demi-humans/mages. I jsut ran out of ideas of names.

I like Sarah's idea that Hawke might be younger and named after the Teryn's daughter. Alternately in your world maybe Melania is a popular name to call girls for a couple of years when your original was born (if they are both same age)

For me I am naming my girl Isabeau Hawke. Corny I know but like Finiffa I love that movie too!

I'm determined to morph Alistair into one of the game's love interests. He can be the king's bastard brother. Maric really gets around....

So, I got a working version of the armor I've been making, and took it out for a test. The idea was to make something of similar coloration to the Kal Hirol Armor, but slightly more understated--if that word can be used to describe gold and white armor. I have another tint that's similar, but reversed that I'll do something with, but it isn't here now. It was a real struggle to minimize some artifacts that occured when lightening the black parts of the armor. I haven't completely suceeded, but it's usable...

It's shown here next to the Kal Hirol, which I recreated a few weeks ago with more reasonable stats for Origins. Hmmm... Seeing these two together makes me wonder if I should make the gold more gold.

Going lighter is always a pain in the ass.  It looks good.

Thanks! It sure is! After I posted these I found another problem that's usually not visible. The texture map isn't changing the color under the bits that hold the pauldrons in place. Sigh.  And I thought I fixed that.... Ah well! Something to work on. There must be someplace where the color can be changed.

Sorry big guy.    I wish I could turn the squee back on, but when Bioware screws with the game, the spell is broken.  I tried playing last night because I'm determined to finish Idun's game, but it's boring and feels like a chore.

If they announce some halfway decent DLC, maybe it will perk my interest again.

[Sandtigress]

Stop giving me migraines when I play, Alistair, and I'll get to where Kara actually can give you some love! *shakes her fist* I might have figured it out on my desktop - I think that since the monitor is a teeny bit high for my chair it makes me look up which causes neck strain which sets off the migraines? I've been considering getting a different desk anyways - looks like I might have a "health" reason to do so!

i'm having a similar problem. Since he got home, he's playing it. But I have yet to even open it. Partly because i can't sit at the couch where he does without my neck going into hissy fits. But I'm also just not driven anymore to play. Maybe if this headache ever fully goes away. Ugh.

[Sarah1281]

I can't really play while I'm spending so much time on DA fanfics or I'll burn out of the fandom. Once I'm done with my current story I should be able to start again, though.

[errant_knight]

My love of the game cannot be dimmed by the upcoming release of a game that's been gutted for console interface. I never expected ONE game this good, so if that's all I get, so be it. I'll always have Origins. Besides, if there's a tollkit, it can get a new interface. That will be the # 1 priority.

I've been lucky (or unlucky, if you consider the timesink it has become) that DAO hasn't bothered me migraine-wise.  I tried to go back to Oblivion, however, and the constantly shifting landscape and dim dungeons were painful.

[Sandtigress]

I had such a hard time with Morrowind, just couldn't get into it. Even watching someone play Oblivion triggered my motion sickness so badly I just can't imagine playing it myself, even if it is supposed to be a great game. I just can't wait to play DAO again - I've only gotten to play like twice since my enforced hiatus back in March!



With that kind of withdrawal, not even news from DA2 can affect my need to play. :-P

I have to use some sort of night vision apparatus in Oblivion, otherwise I'm just flailing in darkness for hours on end and that's no fun at all. Of course, the night vision stuff gives me a headache after awhile, so that curbs my playing quite a bit.

I have to admit that, for me (and I'm someone who gets very motion sick playing most video games) DAO has probably been the best rpg game I've played for not triggering headaches, nausea or weird synesthesia issues.

Where is everyoneeeee. I'm being forced to look at DA2 threads and think I am kind of excite even so many are ~disappoint~~.

He's looking excited as well. I do think we will see him, at least as king, in DA2. Or maybe I'm too optimistic.

At work, so I can't play or upload screenshots.... I shouldn't even be here now.

You use the spell o' purple goggles??  That freaks me out.  It's like gaming on LSD (or what I imagine that would be like).  I do usually try to get that Ring of Khajiiti thing asap, that gives you Detect Life if I recall it correctly.

Right?  Whatever they did, that's a good thing.

Very disappoint. 

But this article is kind of cool.
