one page back - Flesh! I love love love the banters! Those were great! i heard all the character's voices as I read them too, well done!

Why thank you. May wanna get that hearing voices bit checked out though. 

oh and I've said it before (and before lol) but I do prefer the mage rivalmance - diplo style!
Friendmance is fun as well but I do prefer rival for both Fen and Merrill.

(edit, I've also enjoyed pro-templar although I am normally 'pro-mage-freedom'. I'm working up a character that will be a mage and pro-templar, should be interesting)

*brofist*  May I reccomend a pro-Templar, power hungry aggro!mage who rivals everyone but Fenris cause they are in love, as a main course, bloodmagic and hypocrisy goes great as sides. Srsly, the laughs, oh the laughs. I did that, named my mage Darius for giggles. Uhg, I'm evil.

Fenris: Bloodmages are EVIL, we should just kill them all!
Hawke: *pauses mid blood spell* Yah!
*Fenris approves +100* 

edit again... rival Aveline beats Hawke up! I really got to try that. I always end up BFFs with her, every single Hawke. not on purpose, just turns out that way.

She sure does, and it's somewhat glorius. you'll have to sen me a guide for friendship, she hates me all the time... all the time!

Fleshdress, thanks, buttercup. I'm done with the paper, which was the more pleasant part, since I could at least choose an interesting topic. But the impeding algebra has me in a state of fear-induced catatonia still. I'll probably phase in and out of existence here until I pass.

 
Ew, Algebra. Good luck, I'll sacrifice a goat for luck on your behalf.

Also, seconding all the apprehension regarding romance cameos. I've been burned once already (Zev, you suddenly ugly ****! How could you?! I thought we had something special!) and I dread what they can do with Fen or worse *shudders* Anders. Just leave all my lovelies in peace already.

 
Yah, no thanks, to the visual cameo's unless they show us the art first. I would rather bioware didn't make me wrestle with the urge to go back and kill my fave characters just to save them from future mutilation. I actually could have borne Zevs looks with grace if they hadn't messed with his flags so bad, in all my playthroughs he's all

Zev: Sex now?
Hawke: I magically know that you are with someone and they are going to hit you when they see you next.
Zev: Really? Who?
Hawke: The Warden.
Zev: Never heard of him... Sex now?

ahh delicious fruit. I shall save the apples for Fenris as we gloat about our good deeds over the bodies of dead and dangerous mages.

the snozzberries taste like snozzberries

*spreads out picnic blanket* Bah! Why can't these evil, dangerous and dead mages be less lumpy. Even in death they are still a nuisance. GAWD.

TOP! Yay, time to force some yummy Fenris and Zevran on you all!

April, gah, impudent mage haters! How come my just and righteous campaign of fruity punishment only seems to encourage you further!? Fiends, the lot of you!

Nilf, yessss that picture! Goodines. I so wish there was an Apple present for Fen... that you could give him in a "flirty" way. Ah...

AmaneSaiko, hi, there! Sorry I was too dead to welcome you properly before~
Yeah, I'll concede, I'd be fine with rumour-mill type "cameos". "Did you hear that the Champion fella is shacking up with an elf who is da sex?

Fleshdress, oh no! how dare you unconsensually force sexy elves onto us, FOR SHAME!

MrFlipFlops, oh it is fine, I completely understand the whole dying due to papers thing. That was me last week XD

[Sealy]

I know, I'm terrible and it makes me sad, may I cry in your bosom?

I am going to kill DA: O, for serious, I may have to murder it if it makes me do the deep roads or the fade even once more! *headsmash* I love Zev, I really do, but I want my Fen time back and I can't until I drag these playthroughs through Awakenings and the rest of DA:O kicking and screaming. (Heh, it wants me to correct Fen to fun. Cute.)

*Rummages through box of old Fen topics* Ooohh, Anyone have any songs they think are perfectly "Fenris" Or perfectly describes his relationship with your Hawke?

Edit: Stalking old posts again looking for Fenris deliciousness and came upon this little bit of heaven. I reccomend listening with your eyes closed and imagining Anders and Fenris just getting along talking about strange things, Man that Gideon and his voice.

Of course, my bosom is designed for that.

I feel you with the dragging characters through DA:O. I've been finishing off some of my unfinished playthroughs and god it takes forever. I just got to Orzammar with my Human Noble and decided I REALLY do not want to do the Deep Roads today (I may have gone to play ME instead... maybe...) Worst thing is I have to romance Alistiar... because I live for achievements. All the woe.

I think for me it is the slow as snails combat that really just makes playing DA:O a chore. And the endless shuffling of inventory during the long dungeons, I don't like it when I can't collect items!

Hmm, I am really bad at matching characters to music, but I will go and listen to my obscure music and see what I can come up with.
Faerunner, I really, really like that song. So much I may have to go chasing after that band now.

Man I have been in love with Gideon's voice since Balthier. Actually, funny story, first time I played DA2 was with my DA-obsessed friend who demanded I romance Fenris, soon as he started talking I stood up and yelled ITS BALTHIER!!! ELVEN MOODY NO-FUN-ALLOWED BALTHIER!
And then I had to educate her on who Balthier was >_> My friends get amazed every time I instantly recognise voice actors XD

[Enkidu]

Amane we all suffer the same pain at different points in time XDD
YES. The combat is what really drags it down in DAO, especially if you aren't a mage.

Flesh, aw, mister Cousland is no longer the face of the company? I kinda thought he suited you...
Ah, the Deep Roads. I'm one of those lucky freaks that love that part. Seriously, it's my single most favourite level in the main story after the Circle (because I'm obsessed). Especially Bownommar. The atmosphere, the lore... It's all sublime. I look forward to the Orzammar quests the most every playthrough.
The one that I feel is the most sloggish is actually the part when you visit Denerim. There are so many small menial quests and fights the first time... Agh. Now that's a chore.

Ooh, interesting topic! Sadly, I'm more of a song-to-atmosphere-and-action person than a song-to-character one, though there a few exceptional cases out there Every single Mercenary song is about The Epic of Gilgamesh to me. But there is one that describes Kassander's feelings toward his relationship with Fen in the Act 1=>Act 2 stage of development. The style isn't what gets it just right, but the words are. Sadly, it's a song by a Russian folk band, so I don't think many of you will get it, but still it's a good song at least. The part that really nails it, very suckishly and roughly translated, is: "I don't recognise myself today. Either it's a fevered dream or the world has lost its charm. Return my soul to me, my guest, or keep it if you'd like. There's a ringing in my ears and I can't breath. Even the hard wool spins into soft silk. Truly, why would I need my soul if it’s so much better off with you?". My butchering really doesn't do the lyrics justice, but you get the gist XDD

I had the worst human noble run, see I did it, I dragged my Cousland right through the game and then *Bam* plot flag chaos and glitchy hell. I wanted my Cousland to date and break up with Morrigan, date Zevran, and marry Anora, keep Ali with the Wardens and do the Dark Ritual. What I got was... a fluster cuck of mistakes, by end game my MALE Cousland had Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana in love with him, Zevran gave my warden the ring and then switched back to being just friends, He was engaged to Anora and for an engagment present she made him Chancellor, and Ali showed up as King in awakenings.  

Just all bad, so I razed him to the ground and now I am starting again... doing Sacred Ashes first, don't know if I can kill a high dragon with my level 7 babies.

I only romanced Alistair with my Fem!Cousland... it was very adorkable, made me cringe... threw a lot of baleful looks Zev's way. 

I think for me it is the slow as snails combat that really just makes playing DA:O a chore. And the endless shuffling of inventory during the long dungeons, I don't like it when I can't collect items!

Indeed, I have just started my Tabris, she makes me want to cry, decided to make her an archer... I am actually unsure what I was smoking at the time.  So slow.

I have no idea who Balthier is. But if he has Gideons voice then he is a lucky s.o.b. To think when I first heard it I wasn't fond at all, now that man could read the bible and I would listen.

If there was a way to send games to one another you could do my Orzammar for me, I really hate hit cause I can't leave any map unexplored so it takes almost half hour to get through each spot, and I have me a serious dislike for those damn face-munching spiders.

Yah, right now I am right loaded down with Blackstone and mage collective quests. Feeling the tedium setting in.

 That is a good song, I did get distracted by her prettiness though. Even if I couldn't understand any of the words I could get the gist of the emotion from the song and your translation skills. This line: Truly, why would I need my soul if it’s so much better off with you? just makes me melt... 
I have learnt something about myself today and my music choices. I really do not have many romance applicable songs. Apparently it is either ANGER music or EMPOWERMENT music with me... I am so self-centred. I did discover a song that sort of fits with my headcanon... like VERY loosely... with my lyric interpretation being very flexible XD Wave by Lily [Niki]

This is me, right now. I really dislike the adorkableness. So much cringing, so much. 

Indeed, I have just started my Tabris, she makes me want to cry, decided to make her an archer... I am actually unsure what I was smoking at the time.  So slow.

Oh archers are so much fun, I am glad I played my archer the first time I played DA:O... I didn't have DA2 fastness to compare it to haha. There is always 'rapid fire' =P

Balthier is from Final Fantasy 12... and he is a sassy pirate... and voiced by Gideon... he is slightly amazing. Low quality video because youtube hates me

I really hate hit cause I can't leave any map unexplored so it takes almost half hour to get through each spot, and I have me a serious dislike for those damn face-munching spiders.

Oh god I FORGOT ABOUT THE SPIDERS... I am going to put off the Deep Roads so much now that you have reminded me of the awful spiders.

Lets see how badly I screwed up the quoting because it is getting late >_> 

[Nilfalasiel]

All my playthroughs invariably go Redcliffe > pick up Shale then Orzammar (so she can meet Caridin) > Circle Tower > Dalish > Sacred Ashes. Redcliffe first because it's the quickest way to pick up Zevran (yes, Isolde dies every time) , then Orzammar because it's the single longest quest in the game and I want it out of the way ASAP. Also allows me to grab Oghren earlier so he misses out on fewer approval points. The Circle Tower is the second longest quest, so it comes next and completes the companion roster. And I leave Sacred Ashes for last, partly because of the High Dragon, partly because waking Arl Eamon up segues in nicely with the Landsmeet, and partly because Nature of the Beast is my favourite main quest.

That being said, I do actually think that the Deep Roads and Bownammar have a great, oppressive, nightmarish atmosphere to them. Especially for a new Warden, seeing where they'll inevitably end up some day must be particularly chilling. Still, they could easily have been made a tad shorter without losing that impression.

Gosh yes, DAO had wayyyy too many achievements. Although, to be entirely fair, they did provide an excuse to try out each Origin and compare their merits and flaws. My other problem with replaying DAO has been character creation. I'm a stickler for family resemblance, so there were far too many restarts because my Wardens looked nothing like their relatives. Especially after installing Dragon Age Redesigned and Updated Elves...brilliant mods, but it means you can no longer use the Wiki for reference on what most characters look like. I ended up with screenshots of mama Cousland, Rica, Adaia (had to go look in Leliana's Song for that one...), Cyrion and Bhelen to help with Warden designing. It's a good thing Amell/Surana and Mahariel have no close relatives...

You can always leave it for later, it'll still be there.

Same here. Alistairmancing ends up giving me a sugar high. I also have a hard time picturing any of the other Origins with him, especially considering they'll all end up as royal mistresses. I don't see Brosca, Amell, Surana or Tabris taking kindly to that, because of their history of oppression (and oppression by humans in the latter two cases). Don't think an Aeducan would enjoy going from crown princess to dirty little secret either. Similar issue with a Mahariel.

That being said, an Amell might enjoy the irony of becoming the power behind the throne.

I dunno, the DA2 combat can get a tad too theatrical at times. You'd think that a JRPG veteran like myself wouldn't mind, but it's a rather big jump from DAO. Mages and rogues in particular. As for DAO inventory management, getting into the habit of selling swag at every available opportunity will make your life a lot easier. And if you just need to scrounge up a few extra slots, remember that each character can equip a secondary set of weapons. That one's helped me out several times.

Balthier is the leading man one of the characters in Final Fantasy XII. He singlehandedly makes the game awesome (well, with a bit of help from his partner Fran).

 So totally 'd 

[Enkidu]

Flesh, that is one buggy game you had... Sheesh. This is F:NV levels of mind-****ery.

Yay, CousCous is back! This is loads better.

Baha, if it were possible I'd totally do a run through for you XDD It's always hard for me hold myself back from just running straight to Orzammar, since it's one of the harder dungeons. I like a good challenge, but not Dark Souls levels of frustration.
Eugh, yah, the Ortan Thaig is my least favourite part. Especially that dumb tedious cluttered boss fight at the end. Cone of Cold makes that place a little more bearable. Speaking of which... Is anyone else bothered when all the dwarf spirits enter combat and let out that long battle cry all in unison? Freaks me out.
The worst are the chantry board quests and the Trial of Crows, since you have to run around to random encounters outside of town too =__= All the Irregulars fetch-quests come in at a close second, though.

Amane, the song by itself is far too pretty for the tone of either Fenris or Kas (he sounds more like Punto Omega if anything XDD), but the lyrics fit perfectly. And especially that line.

Yeah, my songs are also ill-fit for romantics pursuits, sadly. I looked through most of them and found nothing. There were some moments (That song is so Kromis! And that totally sounds like whatever), but nothing Fen or his romance related. Boo-hoo. Especially sad because most of my stuff is on the heavier side of things if not folk, but with awesome lyrics. You'd think that has "Dragon Age" written all over it, but nooo, romance is for wussies, nothing for you here.

Cool song. The style too is a bit jarring, but I liked it nonetheless and the lyrics. Especially the chorus.

DA2 can get a bit... over the top animation wise I agree, but the actual combat speed is just right for me. Love having to think fast and working on my situational awareness.
I always sell everything whenever I can AND use secondayy equip spots, but on those long dungeons I just always end up with too much. *sigh*

He singlehandedly makes the game awesome (well, with a bit of help from his partner Fran).

Yes, yes he does. Only reason I even like FF12 is because of him.

MrFlipFlops: Yes a little too pretty but it is a nice fit regardless.
I am so glad I am not the only one with a music library of non-romancey type stuff. I have rock and electronica for the most part... in about 5 different languages yay!

The chorus just nails it for me I think, I like the jarring-ness of it, gives me a feeling of rushed panic and uncertainity which sort of suits as well. So yeah I'm just gunna put this on repeat for like a week now XD

[Dutchess]

 DAO does seem a bit (okay, more than a bit) too long after completing if five times and having done the beginning even more. I'm not very fond of the Deep Roads either. The only time I was looking forward to it was with my Aeducan. She could not wait to get revenge on Behlen, but I always save Orzammar for second to last (usually do Sacred Ashes after that one). The broodmother kicked my ass way too many times in my first play-through (oh oh, I sucked so hard). The enemies I hate even more are Revenants. How can you hate spiders when you have those monsters hidden in corners? They are such a pain to bring down, even past level 10. One sweep and your mage is almost down, and Revenants like to target mages, because they hate being frozen and hexed and all that. xD
So, Amell is still pretty much stuck halfway through the game. I might start playing Brosca instead of her, because I only need to complete the game with a dwarven commoner. But his toolset tattoos have suddenly disappeared and I can't find the morph on my laptop. His face is still the same, beard included, but I want those tattoos back! Hmpf, I might make a new face after I have completed the Circle quest, to avoid the shape shifting bug in the Fade. 
But for now I'm busy with ME. I thought my previous play-through with Jason the Ultimate Paragon would be my last, buuut I could not resist Richard. So, here is Richard imported into ME2, for the second time:



As for Fenris songs: many songs by Lifehouse have really been made for him. 

Fenris himself:
Trying
Am I Ever Gonna Find Out
Simon
Quasimodo

Relationship with Hawke:
Hanging by a Moment
Everything <--- pure perfection this one.
Somewhere in Between
Whatever it Takes
Anchor

I make abundant use of pausing in battle, so I'm not fussed about combat speed either way.

But I do have to admit to having to trek back to Orzammar to sell off swag 3/4 of the way through the Dead Trenches on a couple of playthroughs...Loot can get overwhelming sometimes, it's true. Are you on console or on PC? If the latter, there's a small, simple mod to install a storage chest in camp (much like the one in Soldier's Peak), which can help tremendously with inventory management.

Yes, yes he does. Only reason I even like FF12 is because of him.

Heh. It's one of my favourite games in the series (last good game before the decline truly set in, IMO), but it's true that the fanbase is rather divided over it. Still, it's probably the closest FF to DAO-DA2 in terms of combat (real-time battles, Gambits and such).

[Sealy]

Too much to respond to for quote boxes this time. 
Amane:
*pets* It won't last forever. Soon the bad, evil playthrough will be over and you can move back into a land of Fenris goodness. Which is what I am trying to do... Damn them for making so much DLC for Origins. Takes forever. Watching Fenris vids to pass the time. (Plus boyfriend is using my gaming time to watch TV, bastard.)

Fun Archers? I am not feeling the fun right now, in fact I am pretty pissy with all my companions stealing all my kills. I may be abusing that *hold position* button so I can have all the kills. 

Omg, Balthier says so much stuff Fenris would... his entire confession to Ashe sounds like it could have been a convo with Hawke. *Is now stalking Balthier*

Yah, Spiders... and annoying roadblocks, enjoy.

Nilf:
My playthrough are usually Circle Tower> Grab Shale> Do Soldiers Peak> Brecilian Forest> Sacred Ashes> Orzammar> Ostagar> Redcliff. Since figuring out the Blackstone Irregulars and the Mage collective and the Bartender quests I do Denerim> Sacred Ashes> Grab Shale> Soldiers Peak> Orzammar> Redcliff> Circle Tower> Ostagar> Brecilian Forest.

I may have to leave the high Dragon there since I have thrown all combo's of characters that I have at it right now and can usually get it down to half health before it kills my last man standing. (And by man I mean it's usually my dog.)

My Amell would! alas, he is a male though so he just has to settle for being the first bloodmage Chancellor.

I love the DA2 combat, I know it's a bit over the top but it's so fun. Rogues bloody jump across the battlefield and I imagine the enemies are like "Zomg!! WTF was that!"

Flip:
It really really was. It hurt my heart a little to kill it cause just... so much wasted time, but that should teach me for not making a billion saves. 

Yah Cousland is back, may as well since he is the one I am playing right now and the one that is giving me so much damnable trouble.

I have never noticed the battle cry thing, possibly too busy getting my face gnawed on by; spider number ninety-three.

Gah, I have to wait to get Zev and then hopefully remember to go get the crow quests before I go to Orzammar, I hate having to make return trips to places.

Amane (again):
Can't resist sparky object. the absolute worst thing for me is I always get rid of my low level stuff first, replace it with whatever new stuff I found, and in the deep roads you're usually picking up level two stuff and I still have to pick it up, it's a freaking illness and eventually I run out of junk to throw away and I am tossing level five stuff for the cured leather. So stupid.

Ren:
When I first started playing DA was my first RPG "control your team" experience and the broodmother thrashed me so many times I would sit there and threaten to put my controller through the TV. (I also had no health poultices left) I actually was close to never playing again when I got stuck against her and what a shame that would have been. (also, took a month hiatus when I played the first time and got lost in the wilds.) 

My secret weapon against Revenants is to switch to a different character right before unleashing one. I think the game lied when it said that the enemies naturally target whoever has the most armour, they go after whoever I am controlling every time.

My Daylen Amell only has the Landsmeet and the Blight left, My Mahariel, Irial, has Awakenings and the rest of the DLC, as does my female Cousland Daenerys. Tania Surana is still in Lothering, Cera Tabris is as well and Aedan is just finishing up Sacred Ashes, looking forward to picking up Zev.

My answers to my own question:

My Favorite "Fenris" song which I think is him before he starts to learn about freedom, he is still entrentched in his hatred and misery, yet he still refuses to give up.

"I Will Not Bow" By Breaking Benjamin

(These bits are my favorite for this version of him)
.
I don't want to change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

and

And I'll survive; paranoid.
I have lost the will to change.
And I'm not proud, cold blooded, Fake
I will shut the world away.


For romanced... Bah I am still deciding, but I found this video and I find it pretty close to how I imagine the three year gap. Without the Anders sexing and uh, hitting. Lol.

Edit: I despise this post, it disgusts me... stupid forum and it's formatting childhood trauma issues. (Kidding I love you forum, even when you're a biatch. Still ^^^ Post is gonna drive me nuts.

 Oh oh Fenris songs 8D

"Everybody's Changing" by Keane (LYRICS)
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
--- Primarily just Fenris' thoughts on everyone for this one

"Creep" by Radiohead (LYRICS)
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fcuking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep; I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here...
--- Fenris thinking about why he can't be with Hawke...

"We Might As Well Be Strangers" by Keane (LYRICS)
I don't know your thoughts these days
We're strangers in an empty space
I don't understand your heart
It's easier to be apart

We might as well be strangers in another town
We might as well be living in another time...
--- Hawke's thoughts after Fenris leaves him/her...

Do you do every DLC every time? I only did Leliana's Song and Darkspawn Chronicles once (to get the bonus equipment) and never bothered with them afterwards. Mainly because i don't like Leliana and because having to kill all the DAO companions distressed me (guh, the final battle in Darkspawn Chronicles...). I redo GoA though, the horrific atmosphere is right up my street.

Fun Archers? I am not feeling the fun right now, in fact I am pretty pissy with all my companions stealing all my kills. I may be abusing that *hold position* button so I can have all the kills. 

I'm with you on that one: Archer is probably my least favourite build after sword-and-board. Such a snoozefest. Also eats up SO much stamina.

Omg, Balthier says so much stuff Fenris would... his entire confession to Ashe sounds like it could have been a convo with Hawke. *Is now stalking Balthier*

I, uh...may have written a fic about him...One of the two fics that ever made it off my computer and onto the interwebs.

I may have to leave it there since I have thrown all combo's of characters that I have at it right now and can usually get it down to half health before it kills my last man standing. (And by man I mean it's usually my dog.)

Lol. I find Shale makes a great tank against dragons. Stick a good quality Large Fire Crystal on her and a Warmth Balm, switch to Stoneheart mode, and she'll serve you well. She'll fall over a whole lot, but that doesn't really matter. Just make sure she's the only one actually meleeing it. Everyone else should be sniping. I usually have a team of Shale-Leliana-Morrigan and the Warden with whatever ranged option they have.

Tank and 3 snipers also works well against Revenants, since their melee attacks can hit more than one character.

I love the DA2 combat, I know it's a bit over the top but it's so fun. Rogues bloody jump across the battlefield and I imagine the enemies are like "Zomg!! WTF was that!"

True, true. There's nothing quite so satisfying as pouncing across the entire battlefield and Twin Fang'ing some poor sod in the back.

Also makes for great screenshots. Mages' overdramatic attacks do too.

Tania Surana is still in Lothering

Ooo, a namesake!

Also, sorry for not contributing to the music discussion, but I have a very hard time associating songs to games, for some reason.

Prepare for a terribly disorganised post, I am too distracted by all sorts of things to be completely coherent today >_>  

Soon the bad, evil playthrough will be over and you can move back into a land of Fenris goodness.

 
Yes this is quite true, long as I stop being distracted by other games... you know... ones involving Balthier maybe...

Omg, Balthier says so much stuff Fenris would.

 
I know right! I like to think he is chanelling Fenris whenever he gets all seriousness. I am glad I introduced you to an awesome character to stalk 

 Heh. It's one of my favourite games in the series (last good game before the decline truly set in, IMO), but it's true that the fanbase is rather divided over it. Still, it's probably the closest FF to DAO-DA2 in terms of combat (real-time battles, Gambits and such)

well I am enjoying my current replay of it at least. My main complaint of it was... oh god too easy EVERYONE BE MAGES AND NUKE EVERYTHING!!!  So i just play Enforced class System and the game is instantly 1000% better. I'm pretty sure the combat for DA:O was ripped out of FF12, it is practically the same, not that I mind really. 

The enemies I hate even more are Revenants. How can you hate spiders when you have those monsters hidden in corners?

I am EXTREMELY scared of spiders. Revenants don't scare me, so I don't mind them even if I sometimes accidentally get killed by them a lot more often. 

I, uh...may have written a fic about him...

And now I must read, if there is something other than games I am slightly addicted to it is fan fiction XD Watch me devour it in like one sitting >_>

Have nothing of import to say, but thought I would leave an "eye-roll"....cuz they're fun.

*Drags herself away from DA:O.*

Almost ready for a DA2 run. So excited to see Fenris again. It's been too long with ME, then replaying DA:O.

:wub:Unf, the things they did with expressions in DA2, that one is by far my fave. There should be a meme for it, it would be used many, many times on this site.

Moto: I love that first one, very Fenris, "Everyones changing and I don't feel the same." Love that.

Nilf: I ony play: Awakenings, GoA and WH every time. I can't ever kill Zev, I just ignore him till my followers take him out. Still so sad. I am surprised with seeing him there at all, though maybe he wasn't with Ali, maybe he was hiding out in the Alienage? Meh.

I started reading the fic but I got pretty lost even within the first chapter, lot's I didn't recognize. Still you have a pretty fluid writing style, You should write some stuff for the DA fandom.

Good Idea with shale, I think I'll do that. Usually I take Wynne, Morrigan, Zevran. Hope I remember to go back.

Your name is Tania? Small world, as you can see I really love that name, I usually have one female with some variation of it. Lucky.

Very true, but I think Fen and Anders are the most expressive ones of the lot. Fen covers the frowny part of the spectrum, while Anders has "Ser Pouts-a-lot" down pat. And they share smirks between them. By comparison, everyone else is a tad wooden-faced. Although Aveline can scowl like a boss.

Oh, durrr, I completely forgot WH. Yeah, I play that one every time too. Also yes, killing Zev was horrible. I think my expression got stuck at D: throughout the entire Alienage bit. I agree that he was probably hiding out in there rather than actually helping Ali. I was also surprised to see Sten, I wouldn't have figured Ali would release him. But maybe Leliana asked him.

Yeah, I can imagine that if you've never played FFXII, it would be rather confuddling (starting with what exactly a viera, a moogle or a bangaa are, lol). I only have scribbles as far as DA is concerned: the most finished thing I have is an account of Rinna's death from Zev's PoV... I have longer bits for ME, involving Garrus on Omega. I should really think about finishing some of these...

Good Idea with shale, I think I'll do that. Usually I take Wynne, Morrigan, Zevran. Hope I remember to go back.

As long as you give Zev a bow, he can work fine. I take Leliana because she's the only one on my team to actually have archery skills, but as long as you're dealing ranged damage, it doesn't really matter who's doing it or how.

Your name is Tania? Small world, as you can see I really love that name, I usually have one female with some variation of it. Lucky.

Hah, my name is flattered, thank you
