I am forever haunted by Cailan's post-mortem erection.

The natural bodies mod left my computer shortly after that :x

Oh God, too funny.

So Cailan was a little TOO happy about being dead eh?

[LadyDamodred]

Yes...

Yes, he was.

I want that armor.

The smile on the Warden's face after the whisper says it all, whatever he says the girls like it.

I think its the armor you get in Awakening

You know, if I knew how to make sigs, I would totally make one with the quote in my sig.

*looks around*

If anyone with any amount of talent wants to screw around with that, I would be very appreciative and offer anything in return that I could.

Where is the quote from?

"More precious was the light in your eyes than all roses in the world."
It's from a stanza of a poem I linked to very many pages back.  "Dirge Without Music" by Edna St Vincent Millay.

Aww... that's so nice.

It is my absolute most favorite poem, and in general, I hate poetry. I first heard it from a history professor in college. He would end class every day with a poem and this one always stuck with me. I hadn't thought about it in a long time, and I was looking through my bookmarks just after the Alistair Sacrifice ending and oh my god... That one line just summed up *exactly* how my character felt.



"So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind" <--- while not good as a stand alone line, there's just something about this line that gets me. Something with the phrasing and the cadence and what it says makes my heart ache.

@Addai- Lovely Landsmeet set! The only have a few decent shots from the Landsmeet with Alistair in it, sadly.

Aw.  Well, here's some more for you.  But with these- and I'm totally ripping off jenovan for this idea- you have to be listening to Battle Without Honor.

I like to think in that last one that Anora is realizing she made the biggest political mistake of her life by under-estimating Alistair. It's after she tells him "that is uncharacteristically wise of you." As the guards come to get her, Alistair turns away from her and she stands there looking at him for a few moments.

Edit:  Oh, and the previous shot is Alistair's expression when you ask him if he wants to be king even though it means giving up his freedom.

This makes me wish that a) I thought to bring more than Alistair with me to the Landsmeet (which I don't, because I love fighting Cauthrien when it's two on six) and  I knew how to make a PC who could look so nonchalant. Also, the sheer amount of badass implied by this photo is outstanding.

That last picture is the epitome of what I love when the Landsmeet goes well- just sending Anora off to imprisonment without a second thought. It's beautiful.

I never did that ending myself, but I can understand how it fits. And the rose line as well - something the PC to tell Alistair.

Heh, isn't it?  But I'm sure your PC would look nonchalant there, too.  That scene is built for badass.

I have to bring Zevran with me.  Besides the fact that he goes with me everywhere, in this instance it's a declaration to Loghain that no matter what he has thrown at us, all his schemes have failed.  Edit:  Oh, and I'm not sure if Loghain knows who Morrigan is, but just in case he does, that should also be a reminder to him of Flemeth's prophecy.  Of course, he's beyond reason or caution by that point in his life.

It's sad, too, but had to be done.  Time for a changing of the guard.

@Addai- I don't know what it is about the music, but it makes me laugh when it plays in the background as I skim through your shots. xD I vaguely remember watching a hilarious video before with this as the background music so it might have been that.

And yes, it was a huge oversight on Anora's part. That makes her a lot more like her father, really, and what Alistair said rings true; they think they're the only ones who can fix things. Lovely shots still! I love the one with Alistair waving his hand in the air, and that battle shot. x3


Popping in again from playing to say that I can really see how very tied the Human Noble origin is in Awakening. References EVERYWHERE! Which makes sense I guess because the PC is occupying what used to be Arl Howe's land. I'm enjoying this playthrough much much better than the one with my City Elf, for sure.

It's what she whispers to his tomb at Weisshaupt just before she leaves.  *bawls*

And because I love the Landsmeet scene:

Sod off, Cauthrien:

Alistair's got my back:

Absolutely.  I sort of want to like Cauthrien, but when she calls you "churl" and says that about Alistair, it makes we want to smack her with the flat side of the Summer Sword, if not skewer her with it.  She is obviously projecting, however.  She knows that both Loghain and she rose up from humble commoner roots, and she can see that that is what is happening with Alistair, too, and it drives her crazy.

[LadyDamodred]

Churl? When does she call you a churl? *does not recall that*



I never kill Cauthrien. I understand her duty, and I cannot blame her for it. But this scene irritates me when she has no right to be saying that to Alistair.

I kill her when she tries to arrest us. Breaking out of Fort Drakon is fun but it doesn't always fit into my roleplaying, so I challenge her at Arl of Denerim's estate. Very satisfying.

Oh, well, I fight her one some characters.  Lya, who is very political, is more inclined to trust Cauthrien than Anora.  She takes a risk with surrendering, but as she understands the situation, it's a calculated risk in her favor.

She may only say that to non-HN characters.  It's when you're snipping at Loghain and Howe, when they confront you at Eamon's estate just after calling the Landsmeet.  She'll tell you to "hold your tongue, churl" and/or that "your betters" are talking.

Smack!

(or, in the case of elf mage, *fireball*)

Two of my favouritest Landsmeet screenshots:

Alistair relinquishes his claim to the throne. Very sad moment but I love the disgusted look on his face.


You took my daughter - our queen - by force. I did ... what?

Ahhh. Okay. I don't recall what she says to a HN. Gonna have to poke through the toolset and see if it's there.

Lately I've been doing that.  Fort Drakon is fun, but realistically I don't think my PC would surrender.  It means certain death, probably torture, in any realistic universe.  So I either outright attack Cauthrien or give up Anora, for yet one more opportunity to call her a backstabbing b*tch.
