Lol at least enemies on horses would be cool.

Cutting down some Bandit or Hurlock Alpha as he rides past me & watching him get flung face-first into the ground.

Priceless...

Someone's been watching the AC: Brotherhood trailer.

The scene from Braveheart in the first big battle when William Wallace slashes the horse's legs, pitches the rider into the dirt headfirst, then William cuts off his head as soon as he straightens up.



Best part of the movie, second best being when the Irishman sticks his dagger into an enemy's eyeball in a closeup.



Great, now I want to watch that movie again . . .

Like has been said in many other threads about this, the Griffons are extinct, gone, finished, as dead as dead can be. There is no coming back. All that aside Mounts are great but in the DAO world there really is not enough room in the areas to really make use of one. DAO is not a huge open world like Oblivion or FO3 for examples. Although DAO is a large area it is not open it is more like dungeon crawld in which mounts would do you know good.



I think Bioware knew they would not be able to have mounts so they gave us the next best thing the dog lol.

You know, for all you Griffon-haters:  Dragons were extinct once too, you know . . . . .

Braveheart is apparently full of historical inaccuracies.

That, and Mel Gibson playing a Scot is why I will never watch it.

Braveheart is one of my fave films ever, and Wallace's Clansmen are still some of my favorite portrayal of 'Dwarves' !

[Kwanzaabot]

You can all keep your griffons. Gimme a high dragon any day!

[Wulfram]

The grey wardens should try to find something which can fly at least. Otherwise they'll be stuck jumping onto flying dragons backs from tall buildings, which doesn't seem like an ideal strategy.

But at least we have a new Fereldian saying, "Never cut the wing that supports you!".

Braveheart can suck my yorkshire sausage.
Tasteless mocking of our King because he was gay & by a bloody Australian douche with a St. Andrews Cross on his face no less.
& FYI William Wallace was not Braveheart, "Braveheart" was Robert the Bruce.

On Griffons I doubt they will come back but if they do I bet it'll be like some epic final battle at the end of the last game & someone will come riding on a Griffon lol.

[Dean_the_Young]

I fully expect some sort of side quest at some point in order to recover Griffons for the Wardens.



Granted, it comes with a trade off of some moral nastiness. Perhaps Griffons eat the flesh of elves?

I will never get over how stupid a move that was.

I wonder what Shale would have made of griffons. I bet she'd have been horrified.

She just looks up and sees one flying above her and then...

Absolutely worth it.

There not really that great of a species, Griffons.
If they all died out then that shows they are a failure as a species.

Besides no multi-celled species can exist around the eating of a single type of food.
Also I will resit standing up for the elves since I know the both of you consider them inferior and its a pointless argument really.

Did you really expect Riordan to kill the Archdemon and no sacrifice be necessary?

Was a ****** move though, if he really wanted to be the one to kill the Archdeom why didn't he just go with you!? (don't know WTF I was thinking when I put "don't you" lol)

I think he figured he had a better chance of living by falling 5000 feet.

I was obviously joking. I won't endorse genocide just because of griffons. 

Even if they can be as cool as this (ironic "efltown" down below):



BTW, what caused their extinction? Is it a failure of the species itself? Or were they just massacred in the last blight?

Most likely due to the fact that they were overused in the last blight and had to few numbers to continue.
ie The North African Elephants were used to extinction by Carthage in its wars against Rome.

Yea, too bad. Wardens are so boring now.

*nods* Griffons.

The only way Duncan and his Beard can look even more glorious, is if he's riding a Griffon.

If I could draw at all it would be of Duncan on a Griffon, charging the archdemon.

I expected him to go out like Duncan. I figured we'd get stuck actually doing all the work (the failure of a Warden just spent the last year, where he should have been helping me, in Howe's dungeon because of his own stupidity) but I thought he'd, I dunno, not go out like a punk.
