While I'm here I'll ask. How crazy would it be for Alistair to agree to travel to Highever early, I mean after Lothering (maybe the circle) early, I'm thinking of it as a way he and Ms Cousland could both sort things out and refocus to face what's coming.

I wanted my HNF to go back to Highever. I wanted her to find her parent's bodies and give them a proper send off.

I wanted her to lay waste to any of Howe's troops that were there.

The Castle Cousland mod was fun but if I hope someday some talented person creates something similar to what I described and without those robot voices. 

I don't have alot of hope for many new mods since they've pretty much said our wardens are done. But I don't mind the voices either. It's more the location for me than the content itself. I don't even have the other two content mods for it, I'm happy enough having the castle, clearing out Howe's men and reclaiming it.

For my story-based playthrough I had a look at the distances someone provided months ago in the "We Alistair"-group

First decision: No mentioning that the Anderfels is too far and we won't get back in time. Nonsense. Other Blights lasted decades ad we have no idea when the AD will show itself. We can send a messenger - like, um, Sten? It's on his way back home.

Traveling from Orzammer to Denerim takes 18 days (30 if it's a really deep winter), Lothering to Redcliffe 5 days, Redcliffe to the Circle 10 days (if you walk all the way around the lake), Denerim to Amaranthine 3-4 days, Amaranthine to Highever 5-6 days, Redcliffe to Brecillian Forest 10 days ... and so on and so on.

You'd probably spend weeks in a damn forest looking for the Dalish and more weeks chasing the myth of an ancient relic (which I don't in my story, Eamon will remain unconcious).

What I wanted to say: We have to fill about a year of traveling, negotiating and hiding. We certainly can spare two weeks for visiting Highever. ;-) With Alistair, of course.


What? Don't look at me like that. It took us 4 days to get here so I really don't have much time. Let me say a quick goodbye.

@LadyJ & cmessaz - I found that mage staff link for you, but it's already back on page 356 now.

Got it! Thanks! I really need to pick a character and play through it. I have THREE in various stages of the game right now...lol

I'm still working on my Dalish mage that I started awhile ago.  Almost there!  She just has to finish about 2/3 of the Gauntlet and she'll cure Eamon and be ready for LM.  Anora's going to keep the throne, while Sylphe and Alistair run off together.

Anyone play a male prince consort and betray alistair? did you have a valid reason to betray him? I'm trying to write a fan fic.

I'd love it if it were possible to do at least one (or two ... or more) playthrough with this option!

Seconded! Bann Teagan could easily take his role.

"Ummm...what will you be doing?"

"We'll attack them while they're beating the crap out of you."

"Couldn't we just, you know, fight them?

"This is less expensive."

"Expensive? Seriously? I feel so cherished."

Top of page again--so that's two pictures I'll be making later....

This sounds very much like the conversation that my tank character used to keep having with my guild in WoW.

When I played on the xbox I only had one going at a time. Noew that I have the pc version I keep making new morphs and starting games. I currently have 4 in progress, another 2 sitting in Highever, 1 in the middle of her harowing and a city elf at Ostagar. I recently made another human morph that I am trying to resist starting a game for as well.

I have My avatar at Orzammar on treaty #2 (I think it's 2 for her). I have my Surana/Alistair playthrough I can't seem to get moving on, and I have my Cousland/Alistair hangin out at Flemeth's still. And I still need to do a full city elf playthrough with Zev. Ugh!

Once I finish Sylphe the Dalish mage, I've still got my Grumpy Blood Mage/Zevran and my DCF/Alistair.  They are both about 2/3 finished.  I've got a DNF and a CEF in Ostagar.  And a HNF still in Castle Cousland.  She's the one who will get the royal wedding.

There won't be any more DLC, but people are just getting to the point where they have the skills to make complex adventure mods. I think the best way to go with those is to use the computer voices to animate faces, and delete the voice files before uploading it for people to use. That way you just have subtitles, but the characters appear to be speaking. And you could have full dialogue with the companions instead of having to use the same lines out of context. You could get people to act in it, but then your use of the companions would have to be limited.

I keep forgettig about the wedding mod...good reason to NOT rush my Cousland afterall, finish Surana first I guess. Though I've kinda lost my motivation with her, and my Brosca.

I have the toolset installed but too scared to actually create anything because ever since I reinstalled the toolset a month ago it's been destroying my dragon age and I still haven't figured out why.

[AnniLau]

I tried installing the toolset the other night on a whim and it gave me some error about the database. I wasn't motivated enough to figure out the issue, so I decided it was a sign and took it back off.

Watch out- the description has spoilers in it. Darn it. All you need to know is that at least one room needs to be searched carefully, and that you need a lockpicking rogue with minimum 20 cunning and 2 deft hands. Sounds like this may be pretty challenging at low levels.

Yes, I enjoyed it a great deal--very well done. The voice acting had serious problems, but it was clear that english wasn't the actor's first language, and everyone gave it their best shot, so.... The animation/cutscenes were great, although the music chosen for one or two of them was very not DA. Great combat, though, and it looked great. The lighting there is perfect for Holy Smites.

Sorry, my only male playthrough was as a good friend to Alistair. The most obvious reason would be a personal quest for power--giving the throne to Anora so the PC could marry her and gain power and status, and betraying him to get rid of a possible problem. Unpleasant, but valid.

and...this girl WAS supposed to go for Alistair, but I just can't DO city elf/Alistair for some reason. So she's stuck at Ostagar. Maybe she'll get restarted as a Warrior, but she'll still get stuck...lol

Since Alistair takes simply sparing Loghain as the worst betrayal that could ever happen to him ever and Anora's the one who wants him dead but can be talked down to exile, you might want to consider less reasons to 'betray' him and more why you'd want to keep Loghain alive.



Keep in mind, if you're writing a fanfic there's no reason not to sit Riordan down before the Landsmeet, explain that you have no idea about any of the GW secrets, learn that the one who kills the Archdemon dies, and want to recruit Loghain for that.

Depends on if he wants to go canon or not. Nothing wrong with AU, I'm writing one myself, but it depends on where he wants to go.

I'd advice you guys ignore Viva La France, aka, Johnny The Pothead, Burritos, Tequitos, Yo bro, yoooo, and many other names he uses to circumvent the bans he has been imposed by the mods.

He's a troll on the DA2 forums and on many threads here as well.

In one of WiP's my Suranna has a nice chat with Avernus, much to the same purpose. Of course she also never let Alistair anywhere near Soldier's Peak. She took Team Pragmatic (Sten, Zevran and Shale) to clear it with her.
