I haven't been able to turn down the ritual yet. One of my characters just really didn't care about the consequences and didn't question, just like Morrigan expected. And one of my characters *really* didn't want to do it, but couldn't give up her LI. Image IPB


Yeah, well, I guess the choice for me in future playthroughs is ignore my misgivings and agree to the DR, or keep turning it down but leave a bitterly disappointed Alistair at the gate. Or, recruit Loghain and make him kill the Archdemon but have an even more bitterly disappointed Alistair sulking somewhere.

I applaud DA:O for its lack of black/white decision options, but dang.

lol... I actually did just that. He's now clothed in the shadow armor. And while it looks good... :innocent: Also, if Surely was wanting to get some hits on her profile, this was the perfect way to do so :D


LOL, it's bad enough that I looked in the first place. Image IPB

What can I say? Inquiring minds want to know :wizard:

@Axekix... just call me Demi ! She has some years on me, but she had the right idea.

There is a dark lining to every ending in the game. Which actually is a nice change of pace from a lot of stories, but still makes everything much harder. I don't know how many times I've kept the conversation between Morrigan & my PC hanging in the middle, trying to decide what I was going to do. And once I let Alistair talk me out of it. That was a sad playthough, since he wasn't hardened or king, and I left him at the gates. Poor guy. :crying: I never did that again. If I'm leaving him at the gates (or using a mod to knock him out at the top) I always make him king now. Give him something to do and live for, afterwards.

Yeah. . .my Alistair in this playthrough was also neither hardened nor king. We played it like idealistic fool children right to the end. I was actually angling for the epic bittersweet ending of having a dual Archdemon fatality --both Wardens striking the killing blow at the same time. I know that simultaneous "fatality"-style kills are possible with Ogres, so I figured why not the Archdemon? Alas, I could not coordinate our weapons to strike in sync. My rogue hands were just faster than his.

Neither of my characters played out like I expected them too. It's kind of cool, really, how they took on a personality of their own. I've never been so excited to play a game from start to finish again almost immediately after completing it. Image IPB

Maybe they're waiting till later to ask him, just so we don't find out before they want us to? Too much wishful thinking?

That is your greatest failing, my friend, getting the XBox version. Luckily my XBox version died (because I knocked over the XBox while playing:pinched:) so I got the PC version instead.

Dammit, I didn't know I agreed with Cullen about killing the Mages, and then Wynne wanted to kill me, so I had to kill her and my last save was at the beginning of the Mage's Tower....:pinched: My game was an unfortunate casualty of my rage. Well, maybe not that unfortunate since I got the PC version, but still lol

EDIT: My "rage" being that I deliberately reached out with my foot and tipped it over. My friends said that is the most restraint I've shown while destroying something :lol:

Apparently it didn't auto save, or I deleted it, but I was not willing to go back before the Fade. Nononono. I'm the kind of person that would prefer playing an entire game again rather than having to go back to a save that was a long way back.



Poor Neve Sr. I hardly knew ye.



And I believe it is the Maker's will that I don't have magical ability, because I get angry at inanimate objects easily. I would specialize as a Primal mage and blow stuff up that made mad (i,e. anything inanimate). lol

With Fireball probably, so I could destroy other things as well. There's a reason I'm not allowed near expensive things when I'm mad. Though ironically, I'm not the reason my laptop broke. The hard drive fried up. Though I'm sure that was it committing suicide from my repeated abuse (and also my son's, who is not allowed near expensive things either, though that is because he's one and will eat expensive stuff:lol:)

Morning kids. I made it to work extra early this morning, even after being a little drunk last night. I feel like crap.



Anyhoo....does this scene bother anyone else?

Image IPB



I picture the conversation going a little something like this:



Mel: What are those thousands and thousands of lights?

Alistair: I think they're darkspawn, carrying torches.

Mel: Huh. And that big ugly loud thing up there?

Alistair: You mean the dragon? I'm pretty sure that's the archdemon.

Mel: Huh......



Mel:.........Anyone else hungry? I could use some lunch.

Alistair: I'm starving!

Wynne: I'd love a good stew.

It freaks me right out, but mainly because I'm thinking , "GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE YOU FOOLS!"
I'm not scared of heights so much as I am of dropping thousands of feet to death.
Had a safety barrier been in place I'd have been fine.

I actually had a dream last night about Dragon Age 2 and that about all of this gush thread was excited about something

Yeah I agree that the sudden change from the end of the scene to the start of the bit I can't remember the name of ( i want to say deep roads but I'm sure that's where you are already) is a bit odd.  Some reaction from at least the wardens would have been nice there.
Although maybe it's good they don't care, maybe they'd have tried to do a Riordan and lunge towards the AD and then where would we have been.?
Although I suppose.... depending on which time you go to the dwarfs  you may have already seen two dragons already or three if you count the one in the elf ruins,  ( Which I forget about entirely for some reason)  So maybe they aren't entirely sure it is the archdemon.
Ugh far to much typing there not enough Alistair.

I should really take advantage of having nothing to do today ( that's a lie, there's a million things I should be doing but am happy to avoid each and every one of them )and write but my brain isn't helping, and I read some of Surely's one shots and now feel inadequate. Still I have um a whole three people who seem to like the story so...
