Ageless is better, it's the best Greatsword in the vanilla game. Anyone who says otherwise is a thought criminal and should be flushed out the airlock.

Well I guess they don't want all those religious fanatics and stupid idiots coming to **** them out for portraying homosexual relationships as every bit as healthy and loving as a heterosexual realationship. However people as stupid as that wouldn't really be pursuaded by half measures, so I don't know if that's why they didn't make Leliana gay. I have to assume it's for gameplay reasons rather than political reasons, they didn't want male characters to feel forced into the Morrigan romance so they had to offer an alternative.

They're already showing that though. Leliana/FemWarden and Zevran/MaleWarden are pretty much the same as their counterparts. As much as people hate Zevran, his romance, for men and women both, is so intense and loving in the end it's crazy.

Anyway, yeh, Leliana only has two opportunities for both genders to start the romance, and it's different for each. I don't get the idea that Leliana was a lesbian at first (despite what TVTropes says, which is the only place I've seen that written). Her first love was with a woman, and she talks only about men when it comes to business, but she seems to be more attracted to people, not genders.

It shouldn't be... what spec are you???

Both are pretty 'meh' tbh.  Yusaris is ok vs dragons if you're using a haste/auto attack setup.  Otherwise it's nothing special there either since the bonus damage doesn't apply to specials.  Nug Crusher, Starfang and Chasind Greatmaul are the ones you should be aiming for out of the default 2h options.

Problem is that I am really attached to Yusaris, and upfront damage is actually a tiny bit better. Also the "weakens nearby darkspawn" part is apparently bugged and dosent work.

I am not running haste so the bear is hiting around 35 on spawn, and I hit  at around 65 base damage at this point. But the bear can hit at about 1.5 my speed it seems so it does pretty decent damage.

Dont have WK so only Vanilla items, but I like Yusaris just looks good.

Indeed I was trying to do the 'math' of the question in my head but it didn't work out in the end I guess, because as you say they are already show exactly the thing homophobes are frightened of. As for Leliana's sexual preference it's sort of like military intelligence at this point, we've been given 20 pieces out of a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and we're trying to figure out what the picture is. The only thing that really makes be believe she has a preference for women is the "Hair Convesation" since the entire point of that conversation is she's trying to find if a female warden would be open to having a relationship with her. She's approaching the warden, with the male romance flag it's the PC making the initial move to express interest in a relationship. Though as you mention her attraction might have more to do with the warden being the first friend she's had in years.

I thought the hair convo. for a femwarden was her just trying to see where she stood after Marjorlane, didnt realize she was fishing as it were.

Hmmmm, Giggles, those romance polls are really interesting. They reveal that the LIs for DA have mostly (except Zev) equal followings.



Certainly not like ME

No, the developer notes are very clear about how the conversation is to be used.

**STAGED**
IF: Leliana is at +50 approval

IF: In camp

IF: PC is female

(Leliana likes the player and wants to discover if the player is open to a relationship.)

It's hard to get more clear than that.

First off the polls have been interseting, in that how equal the LI are outside of Zevran I thought that Alistair would also be behind but looks like there are a lot of ladies around here, or dudes pretending to be dudetes. Also the popularity of the DR is very suprising to me at least.



Also I never read into the toolset, downloaded it but never used it. Got uninstalled unfortunatly.

Unless of course the DLC is full of crap, then we can sit around here and have something to really gripe about. I mean Morrigan fans get the DR, and Alistair fans get the Landsmeet what DO WE GET HUH!... oh wait maybe that is a good thing.

On an aside we need something like:
Ritual Dimemberment Tuesday- Alistair thread
Zevrinjection Friday - Zevran thread.

Any Ideas?


Ritual Dimemberment Tuesday- Alistair thread but, lets show Leli in action
Zevrinjection Friday - Zevran thread.  don't know what that means  but, Leli loves fashion why not favorite armors & weapons and show action.. 

ooops Day....  screenshots that should never happenPosted Image

my sister plays DA, she thinks Alistair is cute, like puppies.

Preteens confuse me. She also thinks Cailan is gay. She cried when the retreat was sounded and Cailan died.
