Yes, she refuses to leave but I've sent her away, because I dunno that she couldn't die. So I was afraid of losing her. I love Shianni, independent from playing a city elf or not. So for Vaughn there is only one destination: To end as a puddle of gore on the floor.

Wow, how poetic, lol.

One thing about this situation, I really
wish that when Morrigan makes her little comment about how it's an
interesting proposal, a City Elf could tell her "My father is one of
those cages!" and get to see her reaction to this. Would she back down
with one of her awkward faces or would she scoff at it?

I really wish there was an option like that, too, and not just for Morrigan - such as when Zevran and Wynne start trying to talk you out of it before you've given any indication that you're going to do that, it would be nice to be able to say 'of course I'm not going to do that, my father is in there' or something to that effect. You can imagine it, of course, but it'd be nice to actually have it there.

Come to think of it, I wish there was a bit more of talking to your father and cousins when you return to the Alienage in general. Not that what's there isn't nice.
I don't know what other origins get in the way of that kind of thing, though. I've never gotten far enough with one of them yet.

I usually use the Dalish army for defending the Alienage, too. Well, when I remember to use the armies at all, that is. I keep forgetting about them until the last.

Soris is pretty cool. It definitely says something that he helps out with the rescue.



Sadly, that's the only screenshot I have on hand that has him in it.

I was really sad to not get a love interest discussion with Dad as a city elf. I loved the little chat you can have with Alistair/Leliana/Zevran but bringing boyfriend/girlfriend home to dad? That would be a dream convo for me!

What's sad about that?  Your CEM is pretty handsome his own self.

Re. the alienage battle, just don't ever use the templars, especially not with a PC mage.  The darkspawn general there is a tough mage so I thought it would be a good idea, but gah, soooo annoying to have them continually Cleansing my mage's buffs and hexes away.  That's what she gets for annulling the Circle.

She muddled through.

The templars will make liberal use of cleansing aura? That's just great. I wonder if that's worse than liberal use
of fireballs though...

My current PC "forgot" to use the Litany of Adralla during the Uldred battle. Serves her right.



Shianni is not amused.

I know you're like not serious but dear God do I hate it when people go 'you know, rape is a horrible crime and so let's punish a rapist by doing it to them!'

Edit: If it's horrible when he does it it's not any less horrible when done to him. It's not 'fitting' and it's not funny.

Vaughan would probably like it, anyway.

Rape jokes? Not funny. Also, really, really tasteless.

I must admit I'm semi-serious, because in fact, I prefer cut the rapist's crotch before  :3
I know, I have an horrible result of thinking and I don't hide it.

sorry if that hurt you or somebody else, I'll try to calm down

When you are in a hole, the best thing to do is stop digging.





Back on topic, if there were to be only one elven companion in DA2, which would y'all prefer: City or Dalish? Also, male or female? Romanceable or not?

[Giggles_Manically]

I would rather shatter his spine into bits, and leave him useless for life.

Being able to look, but never to be able to touch, circle of hell stuff that is.

Oh no he needs to be l=killed very slowly for what he does to Shianni.  I have NEVER let that slime live... I never get to the part about the money...YOU DIE NOW.

City, I think.  I like the Dalish, but they're supposed to be insular.  I get a little twitchy when the world gets built and then the rules get ignored really quickly for specialness.  (No, not a fan of the entire premise of Awakening, either.)

No particular gender preference, and if s/he's romanceable, the power imbalance in a human/elf relationship should really, really be addressed.  And not in a [Persuade] "Oh, it's okay now!" sort of way, either.  More like a "pick the wrong dialogue or action options and it's over" kind of way, ideally involving camp conversations and a companion crisis scene that contains additional nuance if the companion is a LI.

I totally agree. Rape is something I wouldn't wish even on my worst enemy. It's such a heinous act that the very idea of it, regardless of who the victim is, makes me sick.

But let's leave this topic aside or else this thread may also get locked up.

@Mousestalker:

Definitely a female one, possibly a loose cannon like Shianni? Whether Dalish or not I'm not sure. We already had a Dalish companion in Velanna but she was terrible. I'd like to get a good Dalish companion this time.

And yes, she should be romanceable!

(please don't get in such debate, each one have their opinion but it just gonna drift this thread )


City elf and Dalish have their charm but I have a particular affection for City.
I would really like to have Mythra for companion, she has class and looks really strong

[Zjarcal]

I was almost shocked by how differently Mythra greets a Dalish. I mean it was obvious a Dalish would get a warmer reception but still, given how standoffish she is against any non-Dalish I just thought she was like that in general and that she would still be suspicious about a Dalish traveling with humans (or golems... or a qunari... or DOG!).



Then when my Dalish arrives she's calling her sister and how great it is that she's a Grey Warden. I admit, that took me by surprise.

I really wish there was more to the Dalish side.  I mean on the City side you got to go save your dad and the Dalish side just seemed a little lacking...Definately romanceable though.  That wouls be nice.

I actually agree with Corker in that I'd really liked the species power imbalance to be drawn out with regards to any elven LI in DA2 (and I hope there is one). I don't really mind which background though. I think City is *more* likely given context, but exploring the history of a Dalish elf who isn't Velanna would be interesting, though I have to admit I'm rather fond of her in her own way.

Yeah, the fact that three LI outright in Origins ignore your species and the fourth one only has a dismissive answer when you ask really seems...lacking. Romancing a different species should feel like a bigger deal than it does.

There was a whole genere of movies in the 70s that did just that. >.>

The closest you get is Lilianna's orlesian elf blunders, right?

[faction699]

I found the Dalish pretty bland & boring but love the City Elf Origin. It feels so incomplete, though, without ever actually getting to see the alienage & all your friends/family without it being a ghetto after the epilogue.  Probably the most striking thing for me was that at some point (I think after you save the Alienage the first time), you can promise Shianni to get some drinks sometime.  Then, of course, this is completely forgotten about and never expanded upon.  It was a real shame, too, because the City Elf origin (and all of the others, really) make you legitimately care for the characters and their plight.  Before I knew better, the return to the Alienage on my first character (City Elf) was the thing I was looking forward to the most.  I was quite dissapointed.

Awakening could've been so much better and given us closure on lots of things
