And elf male + Morrigan isn't even worth mentioning?

There are male elves?  Are your sources reliable?

Very funny picture!

I came rushing home to try to catch Gaider's second Q&A, but I missed it.  Guess I'll get back to rushing my HNM through Awakening.  Not enough Alistair this weekend!

That pic is hilarious.

I'm doing the same thing with my HNM, heh.

I'm listening to the 12:03 podcast now.  One of the interesting things he said is that Maric was a rogue.  I guess I hadn't pictured that, but it makes sense.  Sooo... DW Ali and Archerstair is bringing Alistair closer to his roots after the templars corrupted him.  :P

 I'm listening to the video of Gaider's last Q&A.  Interesting stuff!

He did confirm that yes, it was the CE's mother in Leliana's Song.  And yes, Cailan was planning on divorcing Anora for the Empress of Orlais, and Loghain discovered it.  "But of course that's not why he did what he did, Loghain being the completely reasonable man that he is."  And templar's use something on par with blood magic when they use the phylactories.

Also, he was asked if characters like Teagan and Jowan might reappear in DA2.  He said yes, characters like them may appear.  :P

Well, I was assuming that elves reproduced like other races although, admittedly, I have never witnessed the act and so who even knows? Posted Image

But...but if the woman in Leliana's Song was the CE's mother then it makes no sense for her to look like any of mine. Posted Image I was happy with my resembling her cousins Shianni and Soris CEs...

And I have officially given up on Cailan. How the hell could he have possibly thought that was a good idea? She's too old to give him an heir but I guess he won't need one now that he's selling Ferelden back to Orlais. Posted Image

Yes, sorry for taking this OT, but Cailan is officially as stupid as I thought he was.

Wow what was he thinking?

That has to be the most brain dead political move ever.

Gaider answered a lot of questions in that last session.  He did confirm that there is no connection between Alistair and Anders.

Good that I all have said about Cailan was correct. I initially thought I was being a bit too aggressive when I was calling him a traitorous no good idiot. Now, I feel better.

Well I never cared much for Cailan actually. Always thought he was an idiot. It's rather Duncan who I mourn after Ostagar and the rest of the Wardens, so yeah going conform with Alistair here *shrug*

Thanks for the infos, Tup ^^

 Gaider said they had it planned that Celene would come to see Cailan and would be in Ferelden when the Blight started.  But they had to can the idea.  Would've been interesting.

Maybe Alistair was lucky that he didn't have an easy childhood.  I'll bet Cailan was pampered and spoiled, but he still didn't always have a strong father figure.  Alistair's childhood may have done some preliminary hardening, so he didn't turn out to be the cute blonde ninny that Cailan was.

Yeah, I can't see even unhardened Alistair thinking that that was a good idea.

Of course, Loghain couldn't have known it, but his pulling his troops out was still a really stupid plan.  He thought he was saving Ferelden, but he almost doomed it to destruction.  Except that Alistair and our warden unexpectedly managed to survive the Tower of Ishal, Loghain's men hunting them, and they rescued Riordan.  Loghain would've had a big, nasty surprise with that archdemon if he had managed to kill off all the Grey Wardens.

Edited because there's not enough Alistair on this page.

Yeah, I didn't believe that possible for that very reason. Now I think there must be something about the whole thing that I'm missing, Loghain wasn't the only one who fought the Orlesians--Eamon was there, too, and he apparently thought that was a good idea, so I'm guessing that there was something that would explain why he and Cailan thought that, in the cut plotline. There had to be something, because David Gaider is really good about giving reasons for things.

This brings up an interesting problem. How much consideration can we give things that were intended to be part of the plot, but never made it, given that (a), we don't know the whole story, only a sliver, and (B) they technically never happened.

On another point--boy am I glad I found out how phylactories work before writing the bit that deals with them! ;)

My apologies for reposting an old shot, but can anyone tell me what armor (mod?) this is? It's kind of smexy.

No, they did happen, as RtO showed.
"So what you saw in Return to Ostagar was sort of a a callback to what was happening there"

And there is no reason that could have made this a smart move.

We know that Eamon wanted Cailan to remarry. We don't know he wanted him to remarry Celene.

I was just trying to remember where I got it.  It wasn't a new armor.  It was a mod that alters in game mage robes.  But I haven't been able to remember the name of the mod.  Sorry.  I hope someone else knows what it is.  :(

I have to listen to the exact quote again. Looking back, I'm not certain that he actually confirmed that a match was in fact arranged, just that Celene was visiting because Cailan was going to divorce Anora. I could be wrong about that, but he didn't actually say that Cailan was going to marry Celene, I'm fairly sure. Whatever it is, there was certainly more to the story than we know, because Eamon is no fool, whatever one may think of Cailan. Wherever Cailan was looking for a new bride, I'm betting that it was all part of Eamon's orchestration, since Cailan didn't want to do it in the first place.

Woah, why is everyone jumping all over Cailan? Aside from the RtO letters we really don't know anything about Celene, but apparently he felt she was trustworthy.



I don't see any reason to automatically assume the worst from their union. If anything I think it would have been a positive step towards mending relations between the two nations.



Granted it wouldn't be a popular political move (at first) but if the nations had united to stop the blight I think many more people would warm to the idea (aside from Loghain that is...).
