I am also not ashamed of saying that I would pay a lot of money for a romance/hangout DLC or any extra content that deals with companions. *THROWS MONEY AT SCREEN*

Yeah! Kind of like the Citadel DLC. I would pay almost anything for that.

I want to have drinking games with the Iron Bull. I want archery contests with Sera. I want to party with my friends before the end of the world.

Biower pls.

Lol, TBA, I thought the faux news (yup, saw what you did there *wink*) rubbish (sorry, cannot call it 'news') was indeed pretty hilarious (and unprofessional), but it is quite the same attitude I see some people at the BSN have. (let's totally make up rubbish and try to make a fool of those who dare to like an aspect we don't and actually don't know a thing about!)

*nudge nudge wink wink* :3

Ah well, at least I know there are always people who agree with me and enjoy the various aspects of the game without becoming fuming zealots, lol.

 

Lol, I will only become a fuming zealot if they suddenly decide to kill off Cullen. No one will be able to escape my rampage... of justice!

And to get our spirits up again: it has probably been posted here already sometime, but I found this fanfic on deviantart with a AU modern time Dragon Age setting and lots of Cullen (would rate it NSFW as some chapters have steamy or addict-themed content...): http://celticwolfwal...allery/34827357

Oooh! I'll read that ASAP.

*in a Homer Simpson voice* Mmm... NSFW Cullen fanfics... *drools*

Yay, thanks for sharing the link to the playerhandbook MMG! *cuddles it and starts reading in a corner*

I read up through the character creation part, but after awhile I started to get really overwhelmed! I think I'm biting off more than I can chew. The game is soooo complicated.

Regarding DG's tumblr post, I unabashedly declare that I love BW games so much because of the writing and the romances. I love romance. I don't particularly care if someone looks down on me for loving romance, characters, relationships, and great storytelling. It is odd when the writer of a work I love seems to disparage the importance of his own work though.

Well in his latest blog post, he's flaunting the fact he's written two of the romances in DAI, (which more or less confirms Cassandra if you ask me). As I said, I think he does enjoy them and the fan reaction, he just probably gets sick of all the speculation.

[Mahumia]

I thought it was not that complicated at first glance, but I'm used to D&D and White Wolf books.

I've never played a tabletop game before though. I had no idea it was so complicated.

Yeah I'm genuinely surprised he didn't respond with, "I wrote two of the romances in DA:I, but DON'T ENJOY THEM, DON'T YOU DARE ENJOY THEM, YOU FREAKY ROMANCE LOVER YOU."

 I was a bit overwhelmed by it too, but this is my first time ever playing a pen and paper game so I kind of expected it. I'm really excited, though. I almost got my character completely thought out. I haven't put it on paper yet.

Well I thought you could choose what your character specializes in, just like in the games, but apparently you have to roll a dice! So I'm kind of annoyed that I could try to create a Dalish elf who, because of the dice roll, has no dexterity, is fat and slow, and isn't sure which end of the bow to pull back lol 

I guess we'd have to wait until we're all together to roll the dice and figure out stats. So turns out there's not much you can do to create your character on your own.

I guess that will depend on the GM: some let you roll a few times and let you pick the best one, some let you choose yourselves. Seeing it is probably more for lols and not 'let's find the holes in the rulebook!', I guess it won't be something to make a fuzz about. I've usually done the 'roll for statts and then choose which result goes for which statt'

If you just follow along with the book, there shouldn't be a problem. Don't try to take it all in at once, just keep reading and follow along =) Worse comes to worse, I could guide you through Skype.

If I recall correctly there is one detail that gets mentioned but not explained. I don't really remember what it was. Perhaps it was skill focuses? The one detail that is missing from normal reading order took a while to find, but other than that it should be as easy as just reading, picking between the presented options, jotting it down on the character sheet and flipping through the pages.

Don't the standard rules say you roll up a certain pool of points, and then you distribute which points you want which? Like, perhaps I roll a 16, a 13 and an 8 etc. Then I can put my 8 in Communication, Strength, Dexterity, Cunning, whatever I want to. It's been a while since I played but that's usually how it goes.

I'm guessing there's also a point buy system in there, which would work much like applying stats in DAO/NWN/KotOR. Been a while since I opened these books though =) Point buy is good cause it means everybody are equal, they're just specialised differently. But some find it takes away a bit from the "magic feel." There's a certain flavour to rolling up the stats instead of customising it to the gritty detail, especially since you can end up creating somewhat weak or even exceptionally talented characters that way.

Hmm I love that song! I don't mind listening to it over and over again to try and guess what she's working on

LOL This is just it. The fact that he feels compelled to repeat this particular nugget every time there's a DA confession about wanting to romance one of the many cool, but unromanceable, characters they've created is annoying. Last time it was the Varric one (edit: I stand corrected; it included Aveline as well. LOL) that spawned the slightly insulting extended metaphor about the cakes at the bakery. And, yes, we were the fans likened to eating the cardboard standees.

It makes me want to spam DA confessions with repeated confessions about wanting to romance all the non-romanceables (Captain Ewald, Keran, Tarohne, Sandal, Meredith) and see if I can start to trigger DG.
(edit: and I'm beaten to the punch. *sob*)

Captain Ewald....  I always wondered about him, too. 

p.s. I like your list of romance-ables: HOT, kinda hot, um..., What?!, OMG NO.

I thought the bakery metaphor was pretty hilarious, because I was nom-nomming all over that cardboard standee, lol

*noms on a standee* Oh, I could go for some Keran romance... And for some more...

Oh, can I join?  And I want loads of cookies and other bakery stuff to throw back at them

[HurricaneGinger]

Seems like the job for Guard Captain is just as cursed as the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. Two captains in two years - Aveline broke the curse with the battering ram of justice *cough*Hawke*cough*. XD

And hey, cardboard has a lot of fiber.

...Okay, I didn't think about that joke at all. The cardboard standees are awesome and...what fiber does, while healthy, isn't particularly awesome at all.
