Epic Beard: +999 all stats lmao

[David Gaider]

I had a nice response all typed up to address this, but Hawke's beard erased it! And then slapped me in the face!



Damn his manliness!

What is the female Hawke's equivalent of Hawke's Beard? Boobs of Steel?

Yes. They do not grow, but at completed awesome stage, they are like an adamantium skeleton. And her hips can rip through enemies like butter!

An interesting thought: what if beard quality diminishes as you drink potions? And you have to go to camp and wash it to restore it's bonuses and remove penalties? This will also prevent people from spamming health poltuces. Because if you do, soon you'll have "dirty matted beard of drunkard -2 to all attributes".

Perhaps since we have injury kids for wounds we should also have beard-refreshing kits in this scenario.

Hawke has a beard... male or otherwise....



Didn't exactly specify the place though... heee heeh! /Oghren time

[Brockololly]

Hawke may have a nice beard and marketing may say he is the most important man in the world....

But the question we all must ask ourselves, is Hawke the most interesting man in the world?



I think not...

[Lord Gremlin]

Interesting man or not? That depends on current beard's tier. For example, armor have tiers, can be made of different materials - iron, steel, veridium, dragonbone, same applies to beards.
Here's tier 1 beard - chickenfeather:

Stamina and health bonuses are activated if beard and armor tiers match. For example iron armor matched with chickenfeather beard adds +1 constitution, and if you have dragonbone plate you'll want a tier 7 beard... Erm...

To the OP: that was totally awesome and made me choke on my diet pepsi from laughing so hard.

Here is the real Beard Tier pic:

[Lord Gremlin]

So, beards of tier 9 or higher are available for mages only.

It's the least they can get for being locked up in a tower or getting chased and executed.

In my time posting here, this is easily the best post that I have ever read.



I'm really pleased that the beard will also provide drawbacks as well as positives. However IndigoWolfe, a decrease in elven disposition isn't enough of a negative IMO,because nobody cares about elves and pissing them off is fun. If anything, it's a positive. While I understand it's difficult to think of negatives when we're talking about the rugged manliness of unkempt facial hair, I'm sure that there are plenty of creative things we can do here.



My addition to your idea is this: The Beard Meter. The more you give in to the power of The Beard the more it develops a sinister consciousness of it's own. If you let your beard grow too much, it will eclipse even your PC in manliness and will want to go its own path. It will feed on the PC's life force to fuel its dark powers, causing the PC to take periodic health hits and stat penalties (the beard attempting to take control). However, if you keep a respectable set of mutton chops, goatee or mustache rather than a huge Taliban beard, you will be a giant p*ssy, but at least you won't have to deal with the beard making you feel like a bigger wuss than you already are.



The game will end with an epic confrontation between Hawke and the beard. It will span fifty years, Thedas will be in ruin, and the beard's defeat will mark the end of the Dragon Age.



Gaider, I want my royalties. Now.

Aye, but Tier 10 and 11 beards are only available to Dwarven two-handed weapon warriors. Obtaining these epic beards also requires importing a save of DA:O where only certain, manly, dialogue options are chosen, without one mistake. The Dwarf must then go through DA2 having sex with every women he sees, and saying things that are manly.

That sounds reasonable enough to me.
Another thought: since such beards are very hard to obtain, extremely manly and epic (I'm glad I have a dwarwen 2-h warrior) and because Hawke is human they can be available only to his companions, player's dedication to obtaining them should be rewarded by implementing beard morality system. Clean and well-groomed beard of tier 10 or higher adds bonuses to attributes, and dirty and stinky one adds penalties to enemies.
Beard of highest tier if made dirty and smelly should have a chance to fell an enemy or rank Elite or lower by stench alone. For example, such chance is counted as follows 1% + (character's cunning -10)%.
But what's the highest tier of beard? Duncanhair? Dragonbristle?

[Gill Kaiser]

As your beard increases in girth and length, and becomes more and more lustrous and manly, it begins accumulating small animals and items. You have an extra 10% chance of finding a new piece of loot for every level of beard you grow.

Also, every time you drink a potion your beard absorbs some of it, slightly decreasing the initial effect of the potion but adding an additional effect over time.

[Lord Gremlin]

Gaider, I want my royalties. Now.

After his last post in this thread I'm honestly afraid that cursed Hawke's beard holds him hostage... I hope it'll be resolved peacefully though.

[Dick Delaware]

Don't be naive, Lord Gremlin!



Listen, and understand! That Beard is out there! It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

Because some beards aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some beards just want to watch the world burn.

And spirits. And if it becomes too powerful due to animal-spirit conspiracy you'll have to confront it in the Fade before grooming.
However, no matter how many times you'll confront your beard to get it under control, this won't prevent the final confrontation Dick Delaware mentioned.

Also, there should be a side quest - Grand Oaks's spirit invades your beard and to get rid of it you'll have to find his acorn and pass the spirit into it. Until you do so, your beard will speak in rythmes and initiate conversations instead of you, while jamming your mouth. So, this will be a main story quest. There should be options of course - to find the acorn, to confront the spirit in fade, or to chop your beard off Peter the 1st style. The last option will have consequences though - a permanent penalty to beard attributes and total manliness.

I'm jealous. My beard only takes me to parties and occasionally mixes me a martini.

Are those martinis up to snuff?
