What if your game hits a critical mass and causes you to end up losing everyone?

Then Randi will be in deep doo-doo!  She's doing great with Morrigan though, got a +4 approval for intimidating the Reverend Mother.

Edit for ToP... more Randi RDT!

A question to those among you playing DT Act I:

I remember someone mentioning a while ago that there is a "good" way of recruiting The Lethe. Please either explain or link me to a solution, as I am unable to figure it out.

It's been awhile since I played, but iirc...

I think if you talk to the statue in camp nine or 10 times, fighting all the different waves of enemies, a chest appears in camp as a reward.  In that chest is a book that you can use on the alter instead of a sacrifice (by just clicking on the alter).

Thanks. Worked. But now Thazulok keeps pestering me about making a decision re: the Lethe's fate. He won't aknowledge her presence. Must blood be spilled?

[inclemency]

I haven't found any way of keeping Thaz if you get the Lethe any way but his way, unless you never talk to him, I guess. I tried and tried and never was successful Lol, did the good way once, now it's the bad...got to kill WynniePoop the last time, that was a plus. hehe

I love the elf just to the left of your character. "Get out of the way! I can't see!"

He he, I didn't notice that before.

@ Rage - LOL

[Melca36]

Actually theres a book in the treasure at Archons Haven with how to retrieve the Lethe. I didn't use the statue battles. Had no idea you were supposed to use the statues to get the Lethe.

I just did the statue battles for the LOLs.

Melca, I have that book, but it doesn't do anything. How do you use that? My Riddick character has her left to get then zap back home to Ferelden. But the statue is missing in the camp. Storm and I were talking about this the other night, and I wonder if that game got fubared between the two versions.

rak, I do my best.

Yeah he made me giggle even more than Lenya's "Reindeer in the light"- expression, where she is trying to appear nonchalent about Merril's naked-ness.

ALISTAIR  I haz my own Alistair pics now. Given that are the ones we have seen 3 million timesby now,  but hey I made them, lol. Hi is practicing his puppy dog-eyes expression already on Lenya 



I like that little smirk here.


Though Lenya was not impressed and did net a -10 after the first conversation by telling him that she doesn't want to be a Grey Warden. It's going to be a long bumpy road.

Ouch!  Even Randi managed a +2 after their initial meeting, though by the time they got to the battle he was already at -6 since she killed both the Prisoner and the Wounded Soldier.  

I'm getting ready to talk to everyone in camp for the first time... Alistair is now at -10... we'll see where he winds up after Randi's first camp chat with him.  

And great shots, btw!  

[RagingCyclone]

Meri, nice shots.   And I used to do that to Merrill too, just for the stuff she had.

Tigress, Randi sounds like she is a lot of fun.

By the time my Dalish (and various other characters who start incredibly bitter and reluctant to be here, for whatever reason) was out of Lothering, Alistair was hovering around -25. It makes the inevitable softening up and romance all the better. Maybe.

That one really frustrates me, though. -10, for not wanting to be a Grey Warden? Really? I got less than that for talking Isolde into murdering her son.

That's odd. The book worked for me. 


I just went back to where the Lethe is trapped, clicked and it worked.

Wulff's boat was and the be all you can be quest is what is fubared for me.

[Merilsell]

Well he loves to be a Grey Warden...? lol

She got another -5 by saying she doesn't care much for Duncan...because honestly...why should she? In her eyes he dragged her away from the life she had ever known. In her bitterness she is atm unable to see the bigger picture behind this (which is Duncan saved her from a much worse fate) . I haz prompt answer for the week prompt...Just give me another minute and I'll be posting it.

[RagingCyclone]

Melca, yeah the boat and the Be all you can be quest were fine. Still have the double fight thing with the twins, but The book does nothing. Hopefully a new start with new character might work.

Prompt answer: Behold my mad photo editing skills...lol.

First Meeting:



"What do you want?" the mage asked, scrutinizing Alistair.

"To make it short so we can skip the whole frogzipping part and other ugly stuff: the reverent mother needs to see you. I know you are terribly busy with all the lightning that comes out of your hand and so, but I'm just the messenger, bringing... well… a message."

The mage stared disbelieving at him for a moment, before he found his voice again. "Do I have to remind you that we are here on the king's behalf?"

"Do I have to remind you that I'm just here to deliver that message?" he mimicked the mage's words. Okay that sounded bold even to Alistair's ears. Seemed like a restless night full of weird darkspawn dreams did wonders to his courage. He only hoped he could keep that up for later use, like elvish recruits and... well… mainly for that purpose.

If Alistair hadn't been so engaged in the heated talk with the mage, he would have noticed that said recruit had already come all the way up to him and was watching the spectacle before her eyes with a mixture of annoyance and amusement.

Eventually, the mage let out a displeased grunt, before he hissed, "Fine, I'll go to her then."

Alistair watched him leaving and, while still in a bold mood, he exclaimed, "Alistair one, Mage zero. Yaaay." Fitting to his words, he stretched one arm in the sky and turned around... just to look into the face of an elven woman. THAT elven woman.

As if someone had cast a spell on him, he could feel all the bravery and boldness leaving his system at once. Alistair staggered, felt the heat rising to his cheeks and tried to find some words, but his head was suddenly empty. He saw how she narrowed her eyes - green, glistering eyes, he noticed - but didn't say anything, which left him only longer in such misery.

"I-I..." he tried to begin, but she interrupted him.

"Are you an idiot?"

Alistair gave in to the urge to blink, as her first ever spoken words to him sank in. It sounded more like a conclusion than a question. Great. "W-what?" he managed to bring out.

She let a sound out what resembled an agitated sigh. "You are that shemlen named Alistair, right? I was told to meet you. Unfortunately, it seems."

Alistair kept staring at her, while his mouth went repeatedly open and shut but no sound came out. He wished he could easily speak the thoughts that were flooding his mind. That or be fighting a darkspawn horde. Somehow he found the idea of fighting a darkspawn horde more appealing in that moment. He gulped and saw that she had suddenly turned around to leave. "N-no. Wait."

The elf reluctantly stopped but more because Alistair had grabbed her arm in a sudden reflex. She quickly discarded it with what sounded like a growl and faced him again. "Oh, I thought we were done here already." The piercing sarcasm in her voice made him wince.

Alistair sighed exaggeratedly and eventually found enough strength to speak. "I guess we had a bad start here, huh? Sorry about that. Yes, I'm Alistair, and no, I'm not an idiot... most the time." He weakly smiled at her, but she just continued to look at him, unperturbed. "However…" he harrumphed, "...you are the elf, right?" Oh great Alistair, you are one master of words. The urge to dig himself a deep hole and live with the darkspawn became suddenly more apparent to him than ever before.

"No, actually I'm a dwarf in disguise." The Dalish rolled her eyes at so much obviousness. If she did that because it was obvious that she was an elf or because it was obvious that Alistair had made himself an idiot, he could not say for sure. Probably more of the latter. He sighed.

"No, no, I mean, you are the elvish recruit Duncan has told me about. The Dalish. Lenya is your name, right? Nice to meet you."

"Yeah, what now, shemlen?" That question caught him off guard. It seemed like this woman had a talent for that somehow.

"W-well, now we search for the other recruits and meet Duncan. About the talk earlier with the mage..."

"I'm not interested to hear it." With that she turned around to go. Ouch. He stared at her for a moment, noticing her proud and elegant bearing as she moved, before the Warden actually remembered that he had to follow her. All of a sudden, she stopped and he nearly bumped into her.

"Why are you following me, human?" The gaze she threw him was ice cold.

"Well, I'm just doing my job, you know. As the latest member of the order, I have to take care of the recruits today."

"And this includes following me around like a puppy?"

"Apparently," he grinned shortly, but since she didn't react on his joke, he tried being more serious. "Look, I won't get in your way, okay. So let us just find the other two recruits and then move to Duncan to get the things needed for the joining."

"That's the best thing you have said so far," Lenya muttered and moved on.

"Thank you, my lady. That is sooo kind of you." Alistair faked a bow, which she elegantly ignored. Or him as a person. He didn't know actually, nor did he want to know.

Somehow, this woman was more likable when she was asleep.

-------------------------

Okay I confess I cheated here. This is a snippet from my main story "Of elves and humans", chapter 2 named "She is one archdemon short of a blight". Lol, pretty much sums it up. Alistair is going to suffer. A lot.

Sure, but it's a bit presumptuous to assume everyone would be as giddy as him at the prospect of abandoning their lives to fight monsters. He doesn't ask about the circumstances of your conscription,  or try to re-assure you. It's really very judgemental for Alistair, I thought.

...and ouch. Poor Alistair. Even Morrigan isn't that cold I do wish elves had more options to berate and insult the humans around Ostagar, though. All the resentment present in the origins just sort of dries up the minute you leave.

Yeah it is somewhat presumptious. I have quite a few Warden's who would have chosen otherwise, if they could. Mainly Lenya of course, but she will somewhat find her peace later on with being a Grey Warden. Also for saying you don't like Duncan for dragging you away. He is then all "You big meeeaniiie!" Lol.

Yep, she is a snarky brat in the beginning, totally bitter and cold/distrusting. I wrote her like that for a reason, but she changes within the story...just in a very slow pace. It is done delibaretely like that and not everyones cup of tea...but what FF concern, I do not aim to please with her, especially not in the first chapters. Nevertheless that review of their relationship is worse than Alistair with Morrigan stung a bit. Too bad that anon reviewer stopped reading right before Ostagar...where their relationship takes a sifnificant change. Well.... shrug.

SoI'm off now...enough rambling about my Warden, also I have to pack my system now

Oh, I don't mean anything by it. It's a good thing even, and I wasn't assuming they'd stay on such bad terms forever. It just made me feel bad for Alistair in that situation is all, the poor guy isn't having the best of days so far it seems.

@Meri - Yup, Alistair certainly has his hands full. In-game this time around, Randi threw out the "You don't have to accompany me, do you?" line and his reply was "I'll try not to embarrass you." I thought that was incredibly funny!

Well, the thing about the Alistair/Morrigan relationship is that he really starts in on her first, and is consistently just as nasty to her as she is to him.  Whereas, he isn't trying to be offensive, though I agree with you that Alistair is a bit unreasonable toward someone who is a forced conscript.  He has a skewed view of the Wardens, and worships the ground Duncan walks on.  I guess for a really reluctant warden, he would be just as irritating as Wynne is to many PC mages.
