It's definitely metaphor, but the first thing I thought when hearing that whole "the clock is ticking; it'll be midnight soon" bit was still, "Uh.... you guys have clocks?  The sort with internal mechanics?   Really?  Where?" 

....NOTE TO SELF: metaphor, metaphor, stop taking it so literally, metaphor.....  

For the life of me, I will never remember where WoG said so, but they do have clocks.  If I recall, dwarves made them, and that was explained when ... Jowan?... says something about tick-tock.  Bah, it was months ago and my brain is like a sieve.

Oh yeah, Varric was saying that some dwarven nobles thought they were important because their great-great-grandfather invented a water clock or something.

That seems plausible that the Dwarves made clocks.  In fact I would be disappointed to find out they didn't.

Re: Clocks

I swear that inside the Hawke estate I sometimes hear a mysterious ticking noise.  Spent a good portion of time looking for it (IT'S A PIPE BOMB!).

And now I'm writing Fanfiction. It's been a while since I've had characters in my head screaming to get out and now they're screaming so loud I have to listen.
I totally blame you folks for this you know

What if I asked for the Knight Commander's head on a spike?

Ah several pages back we were discussing at what time of the day Anders blows the Chantry. I just loaded my last game after the chantry goes boom and it says my Warrior Hawke is at "The Docks(night)". So the bombing happens at night when the chantry would be the most deserted of regular citizens. Just wanted to throw that in there.

See Anders is that much of a mass murderer...he had commen sense to wait until dark...Or Justice did...both.  Eh eh whatever your opinion on that matter is.

There are also seven people visible in that scene (that I could see). Two templars, four chantry members, and Elthina.

Minor details   But yeah, I mean that atleast he didn't do when there would be the most people in it.  Sort of keeping the innocent death to a smaller amount.

Also I imagine the giant light in the sky warned most of the regular citizens to get indoors while the **** was breaking out. That probably helped lessen civilian deaths.

Yep, unless they were all going "ohh look at the lights."

....What? I like explosions. >.>

Quick question for the Anders experts, if I may?

If you leave Anders alive, side with the Templars and are not romancing him, can you convince him to help you if he's at full rival? If you can is he mentioned in the epilogue at all? Does Cassandra say what happened to him?

I am going to attempt this but I'm only starting Act 2 and wanted to know the outcome for, erm, oh fine, a fanfic I'm writing.

Thank you for your time and indulgence

You can but that is bugged at the moment and he will refuse.  Half the stuff with rivalry seems to be bugged like no tomorrow.

It's bugged, if it's possible.

I do know there are videos of it on youtube, though. And you could force it through console commands, I imagine.

hmmm I'm not even sure it is possible to get Anders to side with you against the mages... I'm interested to know if anyone has.

It's through the console.  It is his "Crisis" point.  According to someone, from Bioware, it is in game, but no on can trigger it by other means, hence it being bugged.

LOL, I was watching this and thinking "Why does Anders sound like he's been smoking crack?" before I realized that I didn't turn my MySpeed software back to 1.0x speed from 1.5x.  (MySpeed FTW!  Best way to watch lectures ever.)

I am of the opinion that the "midnight" comment is just a metaphor. Like saying that they're almost to the final hour, or some such. However, I am also pretty sure it is literally night/late evening in that scene since everything after that takes place at night. Which isn't to say he didn't kill a bunch of people (all the Chantry sister who live there and whatever) but I also don't think it was packed with random citizens as the Chantry is closed at night.

It's definitely metaphor, but the first thing I thought when hearing that whole "the clock is ticking; it'll be midnight soon" bit was still, "Uh.... you guys have clocks?  The sort with internal mechanics?   Really?  Where?"

If he said "clock is ticking" there's got to be clocks somewhere.  Or the metaphor wouldn't exist.

However, Dragon Age is full of all sorts of anachronistic dialog.

Re what time the Chantry got jenga'd, I still vote for day. The cinematic shows daylight coming through the Chantry windows. The sky is overcast, but not a night sky. And why are Orsino and Meredith up and about and arguing if it's night? Why does Orsino want to go see Elthina, if she's tucked in bed? Orsino talks about showing the people what Meredith is doing. Tough to do if they're all asleep too. The map may say Night, but when is that? After the Chantry blows? When the city is in flames? I imagine it took the good people of Kirkwall a couple hours to put up those flaming barricades, so by then it could well be night. Not at the time of the explosion though.

edit:
Re clocks:
Varric says something (during the Deep Roads quest?) about how Orzammar dwarves act all snooty because their ancestor invented a better water clock.  Love little detials like that!

I would put it at late evening but close to sunset.  I say this because between the Chantry exploding and Hawke and friends running through town afterwards cant have been that long.  All of Hawke's companions are right there with you and **** is about to hit the fan with the Templars/mages.  I don't see Hawke dawdling around for several hours.  A save I have directly after the bomb scene/what to do about Anders secene that says "Lowtown(night)" right before I pick up GW Bethany.  It is true that we can't tell what time of night we are talkin about (I'm not even suggesting its midnight), but it absolutely looks plausible that it was late enough that the Chantry had closed for the night, then....boom....

One per referral, two per request and five per fill.

Ten if the fill involves Jethann.
