Danny, shows what you know! LOL

Well yeah Richard Armitage.... mmmmhmmmm!!

/fans self   Oh dear, yes. Already thought he was quite the cutey from Robin Hood and, of course, tumblr... but as a dwarf,  daaaaamn.

I wish I could remember the book better, tho. I have no idea what's canon, what's Silmarillion, and what's PJ. All I remember are a few choice moments from the Rankin & Bass cartoon. LOL

edit: To atone for my off-topic-edness... A gift! LMVAO

So, totally random fact of the day:

Harrison Ford was 34 when he filmed Star Wars, the same age as Cullen at the final conclusion of DA2, 9:40.

Yes, and have you seen the Hobbit?? Varric would fit right in next to Kili and Thurin LOL Hubba hubba!

I thought you said you weren't into dwarves Moto

It's Varric. He transcends dwarfdom. And don't even try to tell me that Thorin isn't hot.

In DA2, there wasn't a single character I didn't like. I was not attracted to all characters equally, but that's always the way it goes. Some of the characters took a while to grow on me. After the demo, I positively loathed Isabela. I almost cancelled my pre-order because of it, in fact. The only reason I didn't was because we were assured that we wouldn't have to recruit her if we didn't want to. And me, being the XP hog that I am, decided to recruit her anyway... and do a few quests. I mean, what the heck, they're all worth XP, right? And then, to my utter amazement, I found out that I adored her. Fenris took a *lot* longer to warm up to, like almost a dozen playthroughs. I'm still not in raptures over him, but I appreciate him a lot more as a character than I ever thought I would, that is certain. I'm not quite there yet with Sebastian. I like him well enough, I suppose, but there are a few things he says at various points that really rub me the wrong way and it's hard to get past that. It's like when Anders says "Maybe we'll find more than a bag of bones this time." I can forgive it because 1) he only says it when you aren't in a romance (this was fixed in a patch) and 2) the first time he said it, I already liked the character well enough to overlook just about anything. Unfortunately, my impression of Sebastian was not positive enough to get me past the hiccups.

I do understand wanting a character to make a reappearance so you can kill them. Mind you, if the character stayed dead the first time or if your decision to abandon her in Lothering were respected, that wouldn't have been a problem in the first place. Of course, my first choice would be that she is never heard from again, but I don't see that happening.

OMG... and Dragon Age Confessions wins all the internets today! Bwahaha

[CuriousArtemis]

Oh Cullen ... that didn't come out right lol

berelinde, I loved all the DA2 characters, too! Except a certain elf from a certain DLC.

R2, have you seen Richard Armitage in North and South? The E. Gaskell adaptation, not the civil war thing.

Samara, I responded to your thread and in doing so realized it is actually a pretty good question; thanks for initiating that conversation! 8D

About Varric; I'm not into him or any dwarf in DA universe (although Gorim does make me swoon a bit...) but the hobbit dwarves are just... well... *sigh*

I want to see that movie so bad! I was supposed to go yesterday, but my friends bailed out on me due to a snowstorm <_< Thankfully the world didn't end, so I'll still be able to go next week. 

I don't really like Merril, she comes across just too naive for me. She also seems very inconsistant if you go down the rivalry path, where in one on one convos she's ready to slit your throat, but then in other scenarios she's all buddy buddy. I have my Hawke argue with her just for the sake of arguing with her for the most part.

Oooh, yeah, I totally know what you mean, on both counts.

I've tried to like said elf. Repeatedly. Unfortunately, each exposure seems to strengthen my existing feelings rather than creating new ones. Is it really necessary to one-up *everyone*? Still, I like the DLC, apart from that one character, so I can't complain.

And Richard Armitage in North and South... (swoons). I think I'm going to watch that again over the holiday.

[R2s Muse]

@MMG, ah, no I haven't! Sounds like I need to add it to my queue.

And, yeah, afraid I agree with you and berelinde on she-elf who shall not be named.

[berelinde]

If you have not seen North and South, you must. Trust me.

[CuriousArtemis]

Well to be honest I must recommend Wives and Daughters ... and ... Cranford (ellipses there to differentiate between the two lol) as the better adaptations of Gaskell novels, but North and South is very very good, too!

Hey motomotogirl hru......Do you remember, the name of the anime you said I might like?

I cannot agree more, North and South (both the book and the tv series) was excellent.  I thought Richard Armitage's portrayal of John Thornton was spot on.  I cannot recommend it enough! 

Re the characters in DA2, I am finding characters I did not like that much first time round, I am liking a lot more through further playthroughs.  You get to see different sides to them.

Isabella is a case in point.  During my first playthrough I thought she was a bit of a ... well she was a bit loose and I was really disappointed, particularly after she left in Act 2.  My second Hawke is romancing her and I am really seeing another side to her (she opens up more character wise) and I like her banter with Merrill (who I am using a lot more as a companion too).  I really like her now and underestimated her.  I have a few Hawkes set up as I like to play them differently!

Varric is the best though!

Thank you. I hope it continues along the vein it's in. It may not be perfect but it's better than a character brawl.

Did we talk about action? That you liked action? Maybe Sengoku Basara?

[Danny Boy 7]

There! Take that Samara, never say I didn't contribute to one of your threads lol

[CuriousArtemis]

Do you guys know how to change your forum name?

[R2s Muse]

Guys, question: When do you capitalize Chantry? I had read on the wiki that you use lower case to refer to the chantry building, but otherwise when referring to the organization you capitalize. But now I'm confused... and of course the dialogue on the wiki is all over the place on capitalization. The Sebastian short story capitalizes Chantry in every case.

Thoughts??

[CuriousArtemis]

The wiki is put together by fans so I never trust the wiki (it's like wikipedia).

If a dev wrote Seb's story and capitalized "Chantry" every time, then I would.

[CuriousArtemis]

p.s. I'm pretty bored at the moment so I'm just putting it out there that I'm on skype right now 

[Danny Boy 7]

MMG: Sorry idk

R2: I'd say the wiki has it right, but until said otherwise go by what's in game or what the writers present in those stories.

Btw I hear Samara's thread got a cool sexy post a minute or two ago that you guys might want to check out...

Yeah, but it's usu pretty good on capturing verbatim text/dialogue from the game, tho. Of course, that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if (a) the capitalization wasn't uniformly maintained by the fans in entering it, and ( the capitalization within game wasn't uniformly maintained either... Grumble. I suppose it can't hurt to just capitalize it all the time...

LOL Danny, you're a gem! Sadly, I'm SOOOOO tired right now, my eyes will cross if I read so much text at once. But I will try tomorrow. I promise! PInky swear!

Wives and Daughters was good, and probably a more faithful adaptation of the novel, but it didn't have Richard Armitage. I was kinda meh on Cranford (both the book and the film adaptation). It's my fault for not enjoying it more. I've got serious reading comprehension issues, and found it a little hard to get through.

What made Wives and Daughters for me, sadly, was something the author herself never actually wrote: the ending. She died before the book was finished and the ending (from Roger's return onward) was pieced together from her notes. Why I like it: It's an "Aha! moment," an instant in time when the characters in the story finally perceive what the audience has been seeing all along. Niggles: none. The acting was awesome all around. I even mustered a little sympathy for Preston. A lot of sympathy for Preston, actually.

What made North and South for me was the atmosphere. Nothing was sugar-coated, and it all felt very vibrant. Richard Armitage was perfect in the role, even down to the accent (OK, he didn't have to try since that *is* his native accent, but props all the same). Niggles: Danielle Denby-Ashe is not always as sympathetic as she could be, and how, with RA sitting next to her, could she possibly look out the window? Sinead Cusak's accent grates. Yes, I know, she's Irish, not from the North, but it's still jarring... although she does a marvelous job with the role apart from that.

With Cranford, the best part was the interaction between Michael Gambon's character and Judy Dench's. But then, how do you go wrong with those two?

Sorry for the tangent.
