NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!

[LadyJaneGrey]

On topic: I'm glad to know the magic schools and rogue specializations. I wonder how many specializations each character is allowed.



Less-on-topic: About Isabela...hope I can get past the outfit to enjoy the character. Good. Grief.

When I first saw that image I thought of the second, but I don't remember seeing the symbol in DAO, and the only thing that I can think of the top of my head would be the Old Gods, but I'm guessing this symbol means something different, don't suppose the preview stated where Varric was at the time?? (I would check but my German doesn't really go that far)

I thought that was the Kirkwall symbol?

The one underneath in the first picture is the Kirkwall symbol, at least that'd be an educated guess since it decorates the entire place in the "destiny" trailer.

The black symbol underneath is the Kirkwall symbol. The red one painted on top is more akin to grafitti. Someone deliberately painted what I shall now deem "stick-dragon" over Kirkwall's symbol to make a point about something.

The black hammer type symbol that we also see in the trailer etc behind the red dragon yeah I think that is the symbol of Kirkwall, but I don't recall seeing the red dragon type symbol anywhere else...maybe its anther symbol of Kirkwall.

It is. The Viscount likes eagles apparently. But he may have taken some inspiration for the design of his mark from that old Tevinter symbol. As you can see they're a bit similar.

I remember reading that it was the symbol of the Old Gods. Or maybe just Dragons in general.

It might be a dragon cult, or some other thing that "shakes the foundation of the chantry" beyond the qunari.

I just think it's a hawk.

Not the symbol over it.

So why is it a problem for a mature woman capable of making her own decisions to wear what she wants in Dragon Age 2?

I just want to answer this one for a moment

it's not even a matter of "what she want" it's a matter of "what is credible or verosimile". Static outfits are OK as long as they make goddamn sense, an in your face melee heavy fighter (Isabela is a duelist, not an assassin, she gets up close and personal), regardless of how skilled she is, is STILL gonna wear body armor (even if light) in a battle situation. Someone like her who NEVER wears any is either

A: a precog. and therefore she is NEVER hit

or

B: already 6 feet under or brutally maimed

you know what? never mind, this is pointless

We already have a 45+ pages thread to prove that.

It has nothing to do with armour. We're never going to agree on that. I think the issue is just how outrageous it is that she's not wearing pants. I asked my roomate and her take on it is that what Isabella is wearing is a dress that has a cut on the side that ends up showing her thong, but that's still pretty outrageous.

How does the pants or no pants make it any more or less outrageous? she's still fighting effectively naked.

Oh, and my guess: the painted symbol is a band of agitators and rebels, graffiting over the current regime symbols.

here's another cool looking pose of mage hawke



EDIT: ok, the previous poster put in there now, and he took it out out now:P

Why does Mage Hakwe have such enormous biceps?

I was actually hoping for different frames.. Oh well.

Oh my god, I just noticed. It looks like he tied slabs of meat to the top of his arms. Can't anyone have normal--or at least relatively above-average) proportions?

[blothulfur]

Scars are ugly, wish I had a few less. Looks like Isabelas going to sport some beauties, still the lassies seem to like mine oddly enough so maybe she's proud of them and shows 'em off.

[Ryzaki]

Of course not Saibh this is hot rod samurai. Where guys are ripped even if they haven't worked out a day in their lives and the women have large bosoms and fight without pants.



We even have the giant pride warrior barbarians who have cannons (and one would think by extension guns) yet run around in no shirts and tight pants.

He's chopped a lot of wood to get those biceps. Lots and lots of wood.

Jesus, it looks like he injected them with saline or something!

Or maybe they're filled with lyrium that shoots out of his palm (think spiderman) in order to increases spellpower.

LOL! No! Should I have said logs or timber, instead? Trees?

I just meant he gets a lot of exercise by doing mundane tasks around his home. Chopping firewood. For his mom's cook stove. And making furniture. And wooden bucklers.

Because it's the difference between looking cool and stupid? That's my view on it. You're not going to find sympathy for realism with me.

That's an interesting take. I wonder how that plays into Hawke becoming Champion. Does Hawke become a symbol of dissent?

Ugh... it's an old Tevinter symbol for the Old Gods. It's not just graffitti.

To be fair, the archon robes in DA:O also had the silly ripped muscles.

I think Hawke will be made into that no matter his/her intentions.
