Still, the animations could've been done differently for a friend warden (lazy Bioware).

Sigh... Lazy BioWare is lazy.

They're also lazy when it comes to bug fixing (that's mostly up to the us (or better said: the modders)). :?

I also never really payed attention to the animations... Perhaps I should replay that song once more just to see the animations.

Leliana vanilla s/s tent scene.

The prime example of Bioware's lazyness

Bumping my question from the last page:
One thing I'm wondering. What would Leliana think about the idea of the independence of city elves from the human nations? Also, how loyal would she be to Orlais?

Male Leliana romance fans will presumably enjoy them, but the strong core of lesbian ones wouldn't enjoy Mwarden/Leliana ones as much? The Liara thread is similar.

This is hardly the truth... 
Although I'm glad it seems that way. :wizard:

Well, since you're curious, I'll let you in on the secret: [big secret]It's all part of a larger international lesbian conspiracy to subversively recruit everyone into becoming gay.[/big secret] :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r: Muahahahaha!!!!:alien:

But seriously...I'll go ahead and out myself as a woman who strongly prefers the company of other women. When I post pics of Leli in a romantic context, they're going to be f/f. Simple as that.  /conspiracy

Well, Leliana is compassionate and an idealist...so my best guess is that she would be sympathetic to the city elves cause but would prefer elves and humans to find peaceful ways to coexist/habit and improve understanding between the two rather than further segregation.


Also, how loyal would she be to Orlais?


From what she says in Origins, she seems to be more loyal to Ferelden than to Orlais. But she is obviously still fond of it...On the other hand, her life as bard taught her to keep her loyalties fluid so under the "right" circumstances...

To make a comparison, I see Leli as being very loyal to the Chantry, yet she is open-minded enough to see when they may be at fault. At the very least, we know she does not always take their interpretation of things at face value. That open-mindedness would, I expect, transfer over to other institutions she might be loyal to, including Orlais. Particular circumstances would likely also make a big difference here. If something were to happen in regards to Orlais for "good" reasons, she'd probably be more understanding about it.

This for me too. And much like Leni I'm glad that's been the trend lately. :D

On topic screenie...

Thanks to a mod I was able to adopt Amethyne (Iona's daughter) with my HNF. This has been one of the things I've ALWAYS wanted to do. The way you couldn't even talk to her in the Alienage was always so heartbreaking to me. This mod made my canon playthrough 100% more awesome.

Either stop wondering and make a change, or deal with it.

I do the latter.

A logical explanation could be that there are more women in this thread than men. Makes already a lot of difference. (No offense here!)

I am capable of performing combo breakers myself, though... But I don't feel anything for that... just yet.
So I'll just watch and see what the future holds.

This.

To be completely honest though, I'm not really into that F/F Leliana romance pics stuff. Other males probably are, but... not me.

I like to be different. ^_^

I have refrained from posting mine here because it has been stated Male/Leliana scenes are not looked upon favorably. So I have avoided doing so here. I do lurk on occasion and comment, but otherwise don't always feel the acceptance here being a male fan of Leliana that I do iin some other boards/groups. I don't think this is intentional, but is apparent. No offense is meant by this, but it is a perception that exists, and probably a main reason this board does not move as fast or as often as some others have.

Sappho's Daughters...

I know, WTF? The mod has started to include more stuff than just "sexytime anywhere", and some of it is quite nice. When you find Amethyne in the Alienage, talking to her triggers a small cutscene where she says the "momma said she'd bring me something from Highever" line, which leads to something of a flashback from the origin. After that you can tell her that you knew her mother and that she can come with you.

At the post-coronation ceremony you can talk to Fergus about it (and you get a hug with Amethyne, that's the screenie above). The funny thing though is that Fergus is given two additional lines... taken from Alistair's dialogue!!! Fergus with Alistair's voice was... disturbing. There is also a typo in there, Furgus instead of Fergus...

But that's just minor stuff compared to the joy of finally being able to do something about Amethyne. :happy:

That's also how I feel a bit. Still, that doesn's top me from posting here. It's a public place, right? Right? RIGHT?!

I lurk here more than I actually post. Or, at least, in the last couple of months...

And one picture of a M/F Leliana romance wouldn't hurt, right? Right? RIGHT?!

Geez, this is a public thread. Anyone can post whatever they want. Stop trying to paint us as if we were actively kicking you out of here.

Ho-ho-ho! Not trying to put you in that position nor trying to "paint you".

It's just how some of us feel at certain moments.

Zjar, it is a public thread, but when the first three posts after the question state that they are glad it appears that way and hope it stays that way...what does that say to a male who sees the thread for the first time?

Do whatever you guys want. Leni, wicked, and myself don't own the thread. Yes, we strongly prefer F/F stuff, but so what? Some of you guys have also said that you don't like F/F stuff and that doesn't really bother us.

And on that note I'm out of here for a while. Go ahead and picspam while I'm gone, you have my permission... :mellow:

(If the sarcasm in that line is lost on you then I don't know what else to say).

Perhaps there are some people here who haven't mastered the art of quickly scrolling past pictures they don't like. Don't worry, we won't shred you or anything.

LOL! That is what I always do. So seriously, it's NOT a big deal.

Ok, now I'm really out of here.

Um, actually, I did - and do. Sadly, on my screen this does not always work out perfectly... :?

Ah, the wonders of a 1920 x 1080 monitor screen... ^_^

And I don't have any problem with the F/F stuff, that's why I am trying to make scenes for IRS-L that have those. I think both facets add to Leliana's character as a whole. But several months ago I posted a pic with my warden and Leliana, and a statement was made that the person hated seeing males with Leliana. So I have been very quiet here because of that. It's also why I spend more time at the Alistair thread than here. I can show pics of my warden and Leliana and not have those kinds of statements made. Perhaps I have gotten the wrong impression from that, but I do feel more accepted there than here.
