Fighting the High Dragon last night was one of the best times ever in my time playing DAO. It started out one of the bad things that occasionally occur. Party was a little low level to be taking the dragon one, but I figured we could pull it. Dragon is summoned. Combat starts. Allistir goes goes inside ten seconds. Immediately after that, Lil gets stomped on and drops. My warrior gets tail smacked and clawed, dropping about fifteen seconds after Allistir. A string of lucky HUGE hits by the dragon.
I'm thinking about restarting the fight, but I'm a bloody minded cus that fights to the bitter end every time, so...
Wynne, Arcane Warrior, encased in Warden Commander armor and bearing Spellweaver and shield forged by great dwarven smiths, steps in. Combat Magic up, Heroic Aura on, Arcane Shield active. The ground shakes at her confident stride, and the dragon foolishly revels in it's impending victory, completely unaware that doom approaches.
Hottest woman in the game then proceeds to completely solo the dragon, rarely dropping a heal on herself, never touching the poultices or lyrium pots. Wynne wrecked that dragon, her strikes were fierce and true, her spells devastating, her defenses impregnable. Never losing stride, not once losing her cool and level tone, unrelenting in her assault, she ground the dragon under her heel and claimed it's horde of wealth and arms as her own by right of victory.
Seeing her get the slow mo kill on the high dragon -Wynne!- was the kind of Epic I wish more games had. Now all I want is a freaking romance path, because she's Wynne, and she is awesome.
ADDENDUM: Seeing Wynne, Lady of War smash the Broodmother later on -made even eaiser with Shimmering Shield- was just as awesome. My poor warden is completely lovestruck.
That does sound pretty epic. Your write-up is also epic. I particularly like the link to the TV Tropes page, where it is explained that the Lady of War "tends to be older".
I'm curious, what was Wynne's physical resistance against the dragon? I had a tough time avoiding knockdown.
