Why would I cut you down when I can let the horrors of where and when the Chest Hair will once again claim your soul terrorize your every waking moment? :devil:


The chest hair, when it grabbed me the last time, made me lose my beard.

We know what that does.


:unsure:

In Varric I trust. If it is his will to have us destroyed by our own folly, then let it be. Let it be.

Ugh, after my Barbara possession I went on a sojourn and this thread seems to have gotten more dormant than before!



The hawt Hawke thread is gaining more popularity. Can I divide my attention so that I can love both Hawte and Varric?



Oh, woe!

I created the Hawke thread in order to try and save this one.

I failed miserably.

Didn't it also result in the loss of your beard?

This time he still has his beard... But someone secretly cloned it. :blink: I'm not sure which is worse.

Varric is punishing Dave with a horrible curse.

What was that? I fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

I feel different.. like a breeze is blowing on my face.

Why. Just why. :crying: I had managed to succesfully calm Varric down before that, but you had to go and push him to take action didn't you. Now we all suffer! :o

Incidentally Bioware really need to give us some new Varric related material. The only way to fight this curse is to be as 'on topic' as possible!

I'm sorry that I created the group that took away Varric's thunder. You have my sincere apologies.

The traitors from the Hawke's thread are making Varric anger! They enter here, with they buttons about Hawke's sexyness and... oh, wait.



...



Forget it, is Dave fault. Yep.

I did it to protect the thread from going off-topic, everybody was talking about Hawke or photoshopping stuff on him.

Varric forgives all sins against the chest hair. Unless you push it, then you end up like Dave, that Collector armor won't save you either.

Desperate attempt at being OT: How often do people think we'll get Varric/Cassandra scenes? I somewhat hope they are well spaced throughout the game, it will keep them fresh and allow the focus to remain on the main adventure. Plus I feel that if we get too many superHawke exagerration instances it might get a bit old. Hawke singing and dancing exagerrations are welcome to an unlimited extent however. :innocent:

*COMIC SNIP*

One word! EPIC. Poor Zevran and Alistair dwarfed by a.............. dwarf.

Varric's "By the Stone..." made me snort on my soda. Ow, ow, it burns!

[awesomeness goes here]


I'm very glad you dared. :D It's rather wonderful! I love the way Alistair and Zevvie get some hope, only to be dashed with a wonderfully timed Sten 'no.' :P

Great pic of Prince Varric as well. :)

Yeah, sorry about that. The eighth panel is about how someone is teelling us that Varric is retelling the story, and the past is the present to us in game, so he'd look younger in the past...I'm not sure if I remembered that right. Oh well. Thank you :D

I hope that Varric's interludes are like the scenes in AP: before and after the big events. I just hope things aren't spoiled like this:

Leland: Angry, Mr. Thorton? About what happened in Saudi Arabia? *smirk*


This line came after capturing the villain of the Saudi Arabia mission. Hint: things don't end well. Ticking Leland off by insulting him was fun, though.

...Has this thread really been waiting 30 minutes for a new post!? Blasphemy! Edit: Posted Image

Mike Laidlaw just posted this in the Gamescom thread:

 So
just drop the term hack and slash from the vocabulary to market this
game in the forums, sure there is a lot of hacking and slashing going on
in a game with swords but still remember that we no speak normal, we
speak nerd [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/devil.png[/smilie]


Oh? Well, if I'd known that, I would have posted this sooner, and totally not made it up on the fly. At all. ;)

Exaggerated Protagonist

During exaggerated sequences of the game, characters under the influence of  this effect enjoy a signifcant boost to his damage, as well as his/her accuracy. His hits are also treated as having a multiplier to the "force" attribute, which silently calculates the odds of a creature receiving and applying a knock back or knockdown effect as a result of ahit. Treat all criticals as "spectacular deaths" (66) and do not roll on the critical hit table when determining results.

For all intents and purposes, all encounters involving the idealized protqagonist (as detailed in Varric's Complete Guide to Protagonistic Exaggeration (Vol.2 with the August 17th Errata)), should be treated as
challenge level zero, and no loot or experience should be awarded. Upon the removal of the Exaggerated Protagonist effect, resume challenge calculations as normal, and strip all bonuses based on the Exaggerated
Protagonist effect immediately, while reinstating normal loot, experience and character progression mechanics.

Note to DMs: the Exaggerated Protagonist effect can be a powerful storytelling tool, and
can be especially useful for highlighting improvements on the delay between the order-issuance and order-completion phases of combat (as introduced in edition 2 of the core rules).

It should be used sparingly, however, as overuse of Exaggerated Protagonist will typically result in detachment from the character's typical progression mechanics, potentially resulting in disengagement on the part of your
players. For DMs working with the rules outlined in Frame Narratives ed.2, it's recommended that you review the section on alternate storytelling techniques and employ a variety when designing your campaign in order to keep your players both engaged and posting on your forums while trying to discern is this section of the effect's
description is actually valid, or simply you messing with their heads.



I'd totally buy that. Any book written by Varric is bound to contain golden nuggets of advice on things you would never expect!
