Gah, I need new screenshots. My PC should be here by tomorrow or Tuesday 8'D Have been on a sh*tty netbook for a month now. DO NOT WANT

So I gotta use my old ones. I know, Alistair's giant smiling face is such an affront, lmao.

While I didn't have to endure long, I know what you mean. My craptastic laptop was horrid, I couldn't tell the light colors apart and I had to run the game at low everything. And even then I had a lot of choppiness. But, it should be fun to play again, right? *hopes you don't lose yukielf*

:blink::blink::blink::blink: You've got to be sh!tting me.....

Victim of its own popularity, I think.  There's no reason to parody an origin that is mostly ignored.


I would almost buy that except there's no "Prince CousCous" parody. And I highly doubt there are enough female players that the number of HNF outweighs the number of HNM.

*shrugs*  Whatever, it's not like I can't just ignore it.  Just kinda frustrating is all.

What do you mean no Princess CousCous parody?

Hah, a netbook couldn't even run the CC, much less the game itself. It truly is a bare bones computer, I only got it because it is small and I could take it to class for writing down notes. Otherwise it's teh major suck.



I have my older stuff backed up from around late June, but none of my newer stuff is around. It's not only my DA stuff I'd lose though, so eeeesh. In the whole moving mess I was so stressed about everything I forgot to backup my files. Just gotta keep my fingers crossed.

It's by Luna Siwora.  Geh, forgot to link it!  *fixes*

As for a sig idea, crossing my fingers that the sig request we put in comes through so those of us in the Highever Born group who want to rock it, can.


Hopefully they do better than I am so far...lol

Speaking of Highever...

If Alistair is watching for swooping, it's probably the girl in front of him he should watch. Yes, her hair is a mess...I thought she should LOOk like she got ynked out of bed unexpectedly and hadn't had time to fix it. That will change at camp, with Sten...lol

I see. I'll have to write one at some point. Image IPB

My current hang-up about writing a HNM is that mine is named Michael and, well...it's a complete coincidence, though.

Hey that sounds like you are describing my current PC :P I tried to run the CC and failed utterly, lol.To its defense I might add that it's over five years old, so no wonder I plan to get a new one at the end of the year :whistle:

On second thought, I did have one where an unnamed HNM married Anora and thought it would be so easy to assassinate her and become king in his own right so Anora had him killed first because she's not that incompetent. I'm not sure how much that counts as a parody, though. King Cousland was a gigantic idiot, though.

The Morrigan thing:

Sometimes I hate being European because I miss all the interesting convos.

Actually, I think I do hate her because she shows no compassion, in her eyes only the fittest deserve to survive... All the rest are there to be used.  That's a horribly inmoral philosophy IMO. And yet when it's turned on her, when at the forge you say "OK, I'll make you into a golem first then..." she immediately changes her tune.  Hypocrite.

On the argument that she offers you an out, that she is not responsible for the situation you find yourself in: Might be true but she takes advantage... It's as if you're being persecuted and she turns to you and says, "I'll give you shelter but this is my price... If you don't pay it, you know you'll die..." Makes her a parasite and a collaborator with your persecutors... Once the war is over would we give such a person a medal because they've saved lives? No, we'd drive them out of town, hopefully...

Which also dovetails with the concealed intention: sure, parasites want the host to live but only so they can carry on feeding off it, they might even help the host survive every now and then, but it's only because their self-interest currently coincides with that of the host, they certainly won't tell the host "I'm only helping you now because I want something from you later"... Once their self-interest moves somewhere else, it's "bye byes..." as happens when she is refused on the OGB.

How she should be handled? Turn the situation against her and take advantage using immorality to address immorality, "So you want my baby? Beg me for it..."

This may be controversial but nope, don't like Morrie overmuch....:crying:

There are probably dozens of issues that can spark up a nice fire here.

or you can just wait for Ritual Dismemberment Tuesday, or Smut Thursday for more lighthearted fun:)

I was going to let the subject rest but... feel free to ignore this, just felt like venting a little :)

I've really tried to like Morrigan, but found it quite hard, here's why.

My Warden takes Morrigan along. She strongly disagrees with Morrigan's points of view, but thinks that they're more or less understandable since Morrigan was raised/brainwashed by Flemeth. So my Warden tries to keep that in mind and resist the urge to tell her to get lost everytime she opens her mouth to question my Warden's decisions. She is nice to Morrigan because she understands that she is not to blame for her upbringing, and they eventually become friends.

After you hand Morrigan Flemeth's real grimoire, at some point the conversation goes like this:

Warden: So why would she risk sending you with me?
Morrigan: I do not know. Perhaps 'tis as she said: the darkspawn threaten her as much as they threaten anyone else. Or perhaps she believes that this journey will make me more powerful.

That, right there, is a lie. Not a "lie by omission", an actual LIE, right after my Warden has gone out of her way to to kill a crazy powerful dragon-witch, even though the woman has never done anything to her personally, and actually saved her ass in Ostagar. There's no real evidence of Flemeth's intentions, and my Warden's only reason for agreeing to do it is that Morrigan is a friend. She trusts Morrigan, and Morrigan repays that trust with a lie.

So when Morrigan told my Warden that the ritual was the reason her mother sent her along in the first place and asked "this does not surprise you does it?", I really just wanted to b!tch slap her. Flemeth had an agenda? Not much of a shocker. What surprises me is that my so-called sister lied to me about it.

"You wouldn't have believed me" and "everything happened so fast" (WH) are not good enough excuses. I have tried to come up with acceptable reasons why she would do that but honestly I can't think of any (if anyone can, by all means, do share!). I do believe that she considered the Warden a friend, and maybe it was a hard decision for her as well, but in the end Flemeth's influence still spoke louder and she just used the Warden to get what she wanted.

Just my 2 cents. Getting back on topic... Alistair, weeeee!
