Gah, I thought the NORMAL mages gear was bad.
To be honest, I do like the "Sloth Demon robes" in that package, but with the option that covers the breast.

That's like saying all mages have to be blood mages, or all elves have to hate humans. Fairly silly. Just because the option is there, you don't have to use it. People don't do things they could do all the time. Personally, I don't feel that the family dynamic lends itself to being a skank, and have never played her that way. Doesn't mean that one couldn't play a black sheep with as much validity. I've never got a line about being 'experienced', so I'm guessing that happens when you bed your family's guests in your own home. Not very discreet at all.
I think that being experienced hardly qualifies one as being a skank or a black sheep. There is nothing in the dialogue you have with your immediate family that indicates that anyone besides Oriana finds your behavior even remotely questionable (Fergus seems to encourage it) and, from the banter about wenches, something tells me that the Couslands are fairly open minded about sexuality as the rest of Ferelden seems to be.
Perhaps she's an individual that does NOT abide by tradition. Doesn't mean the character is a ****. But the beauty of this game is we can play it how we want.

Yes because a strapless dress is what you want to wear in combat, that can bunch up your legs, and with a good trip you suddenly can become indisposed.Zjarcal wrote...

Well, no one here is a medieval noble woman/noble man, so I thought the context was a given. But in case it wasn't, I was in no way applying modern sexual mores to Ferelden, but speaking to the fact that the Cousland's father is a Teyrn. One can choose how much one applies medieval attitudes to the game, and clearly there are some differences in that there doesn't seem to be the same kind of stigma on gay or bisexual relationships, but this is not the modern world, and I was discussing it in that light. My intent was not to comment on real world sexual practices.Mel_Redux wrote...

Ok, I have to jump in here and respond to this. I think that you offended a ton of people without realizing it. Your view on sexual behavior may be very conservative, and that's fine. I too, am also very sexualyl conservative. However, I too believe "to each is own". Therefore I think hey, if you want to sleep with a bunch of people, more power to you, have fun. I am not judgemental towards people that have different viewpoints than me.
By calling someone a skank for "sleeping with a guest", or people who think its ok to "sleep with a guest", you may have just called several people on here a skank. I'm not saying your views are wrong, I'm just saying try to be a bit more tactful beofre you speak.

You do realize that winking after every post doesn't make you come across as being any less sanctimonious, right? All it really does is make me not want to come around or debate with you at all because I would prefer to engage in discussion with someone who can let their opinions stand on their own without falling back on passive aggressive emoties to convey your sense of how very wrong you find some of our game choices, interpretations and role-playing to be.

I've always gotten the feeling that a lot of nobles in the medieval times liked to sleep around. It might have been hushed, sure. It's not like the Chantry is some version of the Medieval Roman Catholic church where women were evil witches and sinful. The Chantry only seem to care about mages (now the fact that Templars and chantry sisters/brothers take their vows is another story.)

True. And different groups would have different standards--ie the circle as differing from the rest of society in forgoing marriage, apparently voluntarily. The main reason it was an issue with the nobility, and differed from men to women was sucession. Of course, Ferelden doesn't seem to be strictly patriarchal, but rather priority of birth, but that's not entirely clear.Giggles_Manically wrote...
The Chantry has quite an open view on sex anyway.
Also its impossible to say: People in time frame A were like this trope from Time Frame D.
Sadly that dosent work since to you they may be slatty, to them however they would not be doing anything wrong.

Wynne talks about your experience? I never noticed that. At least on my mage this time, I told her first "what not worried about ME getting hurt??" and I was quite old enough to think for myself. It bugs me to see F!Cousland (great I'm typing it that way and still don't understand wtf it means) portrayed as some kind of ho. WTF is that about anyhow? Not only in games, but alot of fics too. I don't get it. I agree her parents would have certainly raised her better. It's been too long since I played one, Elea is sitting in Lothering waiting for Jaina to hurry the heck up...lol
I'll have to dig out my save for the exact wording. But she makes this comment that the warden has more experience in such matters than Alistair. I was sitting there thinking, "That's one hell of an assumption."
I think the reason why so many people think the FemCousland is a ho because of the Sweet Dairren quest (which I haven't done on Marlana, but did do when I played vanilla Elissa) and one of his comments is that she has a "reputation" when invited to sleep with her.
Mine told Dairren to go soak his head...lol

Ohh. Good point. I always think of that being the Rennaissance though, not so much medieval time. There are books out there though, titled "Sex With Queens" and "Sex with Kings" documenting just how much of that has gone on throughout history. So I suppose it's really not that implausible.
edit: I laugh every time I see naked Alistair with the Thane Helmet. Like, Alright you're completely nude, BUT you're wearing squiggly horns as your only protection?
