Geez, 500 pages! Wish I could've been there for our half-thousand mark.
Irrelevant side comment: Tomorrow, I have both an oral exam (in Dutch) and a dental appointment on the same day.
Yeah, kinda weird. Well, really, I guess I could call them both oral exams, couldn't I?

You can't possibly understand how much I need an icon with "suggestive" eyebrows right now. EDIT: [smilie]http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5306/naughty17hs.gif[/smilie][/quote]
That's a nice find!

When I first heard Feron speak I melted into a puddle of goo. OM NOM.[/quote] Mmm, yeah. I loved him in the comic already, but listening to him talk was quite a pleasure.
I feel traitorous, but I would give up Thane for him in a heartbeat.
*watches video* Mmm...
Thane who? *mingled guilt and delight*

It's possible. I hope that's not the case though. [/quote]Why is

Yup. Sounds exactly like FemShep.
That's the only thing I didn't like about the character creation( besides some of the bad skintones.)
If my character is fighting creatures with blades and/or sharp teeth, my character should at least have one scar![/quote] I feel so dorky, but I just love knowing that at least one person imagines my voice as Jennifer Hale at her most awesome. I get a kick out of that.
About the scars again--hell yeah! Hawke isn't some fluffy-duffy noble lady sitting in a cloistered tower. Darkspawn hit hard. I don't believe in all that
"beauty is never tarnished" stuff. I like my heroines looking a little rougher. It can even accentuate a character's beauty if there's something imperfect about the other aspects of her face. I mean, it works for Witcher 2's
Iorveth, IMO.
I always picked scars for my Shepards in ME1. They really do add character; you can make up a story for each one depending on its shape. I've got a scar on my chin where I had stitches as a little girl--I still remember exactly how I got it despite how young I was. A scar is a memory; even more so when it's on your face. If you could both have a scar and have a bit of dialogue with somebody about it, I think I would literally fall off my chair with joy.

Here's a piece I wrote at work today. It is not a result of a prompt, just a random thing, Wasn't sure if I should post it here since it is longer than a few paragraphs. But here you go.[/quote] That was really quite good. I liked it.

@Sane I know I know.. but Odd fact: Gaider always seems to catch me at my craziest.. Y_Y "I'M THE CRAZIEST!" He posts after I said that "I HAVE HIS SUMMONING HORN!" he posts, "AH HELL NO DON'T DIE ON ME FENRIS!" he posts... etc.. etc..
Y__Y
Shammeeeeee[/quote] *incredibly sympathetic hugs* When he replies to something I said, it's usually when I was tired from studying all day, and thus is one of the few things I truly wished I had thought through more carefully and worded better.
For the record, though, I'm sure he thinks your wackiness is cute. I do.
Heh... random thought, but did you see Juno? "IIIII am a KRAKEN FROM THE SEA!" People love quirky people because quirky people are fun.

I'd wonder if Fenris will have an affectionate nickname for Hawke that means something in Arcanum (Tevinter language)[/quote]
I hope so [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/heart.png[/smilie] I loved it in ME2 when Thane called Shepard 'Siha'...it really just added a whole new level of intimacy between the characters[/quote] I loved it, too. Until I really started to think about him saying you were the
second siha he'd known. I mean, it's beautiful and all... but it did bug me a bit that it wasn't specific to Shepard. Just brought back that little doubt in my heart, like when he assumes "I can't replace your wife" somehow translates to "I want to break up with you."
I would really dig Fenris having a pet name for Hawke, as long as it isn't something he called someone else before.

I think you're reading too much on it.
Leliana was the 'innocent, virginal, sweet girl' of DA: O and she could
be as bad as Morrigan with enough motivation.[/quote] Glad you said that. I assume the same; "virginal" especially when prefaced by the phrase "sort of" doesn't necessarily mean "actual, literal virgin." It may even just mean asexual. *giggles as she thinks of Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler* Maybe she's more like Mordin than anybody else.
"I'm flattered, Hawke, but really, I don't have time for copulation right now; I have so many experiments to do with these herbs and this doe blood! *sweet smile*"
I would love it if Merrill were as creepy as she is cute, actually, sort of like Abby from NCIS. It would cause a lot of surprise, no doubt.

How do you think Carver and Bethany will interact with everyone else, seeing as they're kinda interchangeable?
[/quote] I'm hoping that they are as they seem--truly different people. And I think that they will be. As Warrior/Rogue Hawke, I think you will be the one required to sort of protect Bethany from the forces that want to take her away from you, and so you'll either be doing it because you love her and feel protective or because "nobody picks on my little sister but me." As mage Hawke, Carver is the one who would have to sort of protect you, and I think that being close to him will make it an act of love, and being antagonistic will be essentially the same as Warrior/Rogue Hawke--"nobody messes with my sister except for me." That would add a good bit of replay value by itself.
[quote]Dhiro wrote...
Hm, that's a possibility. It'll probably have a sex scene in the end, but maybe he'll be hesitant in accept the, ah, advances of Hawke? :<[/quote] I would be fine with that. I don't like guys who are--well, sletterig. (That means pretty much what it sounds like.) I much prefer the type who regards sex as meaning something, for whatever reason. I don't mind working for my reward; the dance is more fun that way. (Is it my imagination, or do I sound a bit like Zevran there?) But in the end, I would be very disappointed if there was never *any* contact.
About the S/S thing--I know a guy who had a habit of reliving abuse that he'd suffered, which was tragic to hear about but it was his way of dealing with it. But personally, if I'd been enslaved, it would be
extremely important to me--at least in the beginning--to be in complete control of the situation. Anything else would put me back in the state of feeling enraged, helpless, etc. I think since Fenris is the determined type, who is said to have an instinct to hit anybody who touches him, that he'd not want to lose control of the situation. Maybe that would change if he trusted the person enough, I'm not sure.

I liked how DA:O was working until the end. For instance, here's Alistair going on and on about how he loves me and would never hurt me and you know, all the romantic stuff. Then we get to the Landsmeet and it doesn't seem like the relationship is anything more than a crush.
There's no trying to make things work, there's no trust in said loved one, there's no chance for any sort of reasoning. I mean if it were really that special of a relationship wouldn't you at least suggest ways to make things work out?
It just irked me. I think I got more pain from Alistair when I told him I was interested in someone else.
I'm hoping now with ten years to work with it's an actual deep connection.
...something that just doesn't focus on the happy first year of new love would be nice. [/quote] I agree with this
so very much. I mean, I guess in the end they were pressed for time or there were getting to be too many different possibilities for comfort, or maybe that's just Alistair's personality, but it really did dismay me no end. I wanted to say, "but Alistair, I'm a criminal too! I was once a thug, I didn't feel I had a choice any more than Loghain did! And more important than anything else is,
this is what Duncan would've wanted. He believed in the Wardens. This isn't some noble honor bestowed on shining champions; it's a death sentence that requires heroism. And it's a fitting punishment for a man who tried to destroy us, that he is conscripted to our cause."
I know that's long, but it could've been broken down to, "This is what Duncan would have wanted, and it's the best thing for the Wardens. Isn't honoring Duncan and the Wardens more important than your personal pride?" Couldn't they have just had Loghain stay in the dungeon with Anora in charge if you did this? And even barring that, I do wish that Alistair had eventually just relented in the epilogue rather than bury himself in alcohol forever.
But that is precisely why I was so happy with their decisions for DA2. I vastly prefer the authenticity and even the potential tragedy of a decade of relationship to a whirlwind romance in the trenches.
