Yeah, we only get a certain amount every day =( Makes me stingy with my likes, and then I end up with likes not being used. I feel so dirty~...
 
 
Game master, yeah, a k a DM/Dungeon master in D&D =) And sure, I'd love to make up an adventure or five! We'd have to gather round and create characters and stuff, as well as discuss what kind of story we want to play.
 
 
Wait, grandpas, Cullen, a connection to the Grey Warden? I'm so lost right now. A link would be oh-so-appreciated ^^;

 sorry I guess I confused what was said about Cullen with the GW instead... my bad also kid your on my time zone :D well sort of.. I live in germany (altho dont know a bit of german witch is depressing)

Personally I would have no problems using a grandparent for inspiration for a character. My grandfather, for example, was a very proud man, a very stubborn man, too. His family was very important to him, and yet he was quite aloof. During a long conversation he'd maybe only utter one or two sentences. He was a very typical "old school" Cajun to be honest. Take all those traits and you could make a very interesting character, and definitely a sexy one, too!


My nana, (AKA the best person in whole entire world, so come at Zombie Mother Theresa!), is just the nicest person imaginable. Not a bad bone in her body, apart from the ones she always breaks, she's hilarious, she models every now and then and she's dozier than a sleepy kitty. And one of step granddads he seems like he was very like your grandfather. He was German, but when he came to England, he apparently never spoke German again and learned English very quickly.

Yeah that's something that's occurred to me; French was my grandpa's first language, so maybe part of his aloofness had to do with not being a great English-speaker, or at least feeling more comfortable speaking in French than English.

I'm trying to find the original post where he supposedly says this, but it's not going well? I mean, a lot of people say Gaider said not everyone on the survey will be a companion (which means maybe more than one didn't make the cut) but I haven't yet found that original post.

 

Still, if someone got cut I'd put money on Dorian. We haven't seen a hint of him in any artwork. (Technically the same could be said of Cullen, but we at least have a likeness there, which we don't with Dorian.) Which is a shame, because I rather liked the idea of his character. Unless Dorian is Flaily Hands de Moustache. But, again, three mages is doubtful.

I'm still not caught up. But I have DG's post on this saved at home. The exchange is basically, the thread is claiming 10 companions based on the survey. DG says why do you think that? Fans say, because of this survey. He  basically says. 'Oh. Well, don't believe everything you read.' So all he said was not 10.

I've never played D&D but I'm familiar with the concept, having watched Lola's videos :D
 
I was wanting to play the Dragon Age game like they do. Maybe we should make a group...?

Group made~

http://forum.bioware...enite-rp-group/ <-- this link should work, I think? Or I could manually invite everyone, I guess =) I'll invite those who have talked about a group so far.

THANK YOU.  :D I was searching google and the site, but I wasn't sure what terms I should be using and--

Weird. The symbol on his chest in teb Gamestar pic is identical to his necklace in your pic, but it didn't seem a necklace in the former (it seems sawn in his clothes).

 

 

I can see some string or whatever holding the boot symbol in his camp, fire attack, looooook at me! picture. But the quality is still pretty bad.

It looked to me like an amulet or whatever around his neck before we saw this. I think the string is just underneath his LLBean vest.

Oh ok, I though it was said about the GW or someone else mentioned that about the GW? idk it was a long time ago, but thne again Im sure that GE wasnt the only guy recording that day

Unless there's a second character written that was based on someone's grandpa. I think I recall some speculation from other fans about it being beardy GW, but I believe those folks are, um, uninformed of the string of circumstantial evidence we (i.e. Lola) had collected pointing to Cullen. Nevertheless, it was never confirmed one way or another. I have to link to the whole convo at home and you can decide for yourself. (edit: or see my next post below)

I had never seen this before, so thank you for sharing it again ^_^ After Allan Schumacher's evil posts in the Solas thread I was reeling a little bit, but this cheered me up <3

Thanks for posting that, I hadn't seen it before as I wasn't following things so closely back then, it read very......promising.

HA HA! Found it. I am so awesome. Or that pathetic. Take your pick.

Who says we're going to have 10 companions?

The leaked survey said that,no?


Up to 10 companions will join your party this time out, with battle groups including as many as 4 support characters, doubling the usual BioWare party size.

Well, then I would say don't trust everything you read in that source. It's incorrect.

Either way, if we thought the cost of an individual companion made having X number of companions too expensive then we would have less companions. If we thought that having more visual customization of companions was a feature worth spending some money on, and which would get us some bang for our dollars, then we would spend it.

Oh, nothing definite.  He was just bouncing around the Romances and different companion threads causing chaos.

So many interesting suppositions.  I feel like I have too much power knowing those who will be happy, and those who will feed writer tears (lol who am I kidding... I'm sure tears will be made by all... just for different reasons! :whistle:)

 

Then in the Solas thread, after several pages of "Solas for LI" squeeing (by me and a few others), he popped in with

I enjoy reading this types of threads  :whistle:

 

Which could mean anything, but I'm always inclined to think the worst!  That :whistle: face is infinitely more evil than :devil: .

With Alan I tend to think that's more of "I know something you don't!" than evil. ;)

On the subject of old tumblr posts that we new people missed the first time around, and because I want to tell someone about this but literally no one outside the Cullen thread would know or care what I mean: the other day on one of the sites we were discussing I was pleased to run across some fanfic predating the "follower food list" by about a year that painted the Knight-Captain as a shortbread fan. #independentconclusion #irrefutablecheckmate #caseclosed

Oh I'm so happy you posted that, because the moment I saw shortbread on the list I thought of Cullen.  When I read the history of shortbread (I stay up late to do important things like this!) the origin of shortbread stuck out to me.  Shortbread "started life as ‘biscuit bread’; biscuits that were made from left-over bread dough that was sometimes sweetened and dried out in the oven to form a hard, dry rusk."  Well, Cullen is made from the "dough" that remains after the Uldred and Kirkwall incidents, and maybe he's a hardened (but still sweet) version of what he was before the Broken Circle.  Now I want to eat some shortbread.

 

Edit: Then again, the crumbly deliciousness of the more modern shortbread could relate to Cullen's life crumbling after Uldred and Kirkwall.  Yum.

 

Edit Edit: Sorry, I'm sure everything I surmise has been discussed to death a hundred times!
