Cullen is tragically underwritten.  Poor thing.

Cullen is so much more sexy than Alistair for me. I wish I could have Cullen romance option *sigh*

I think the character of Cullen is better than the character of Alistair.

Cullen voiced by Steve Valentine would be devastating.  But then he wouldn't need me to stop the blight.  He could whup it with both gauntlets tied behind his back.

Dude hung out in a blood mage prison for how long?  HOW LONG?  Hard core, Cullen.

Love this!!

Upon meeting Shale:



Alistair: Are you sure this is such a good idea?

Me: Trust me, it'll be fine.

Alistair: But this thing could crush us at any moment.

Me: Seriously, trust me it'll be fine.

Alistair: But...

Me: Dude!

Alistair dissapproves

(crap)



*starts scene over*

Alistair: Are you sure this a good idea?

Me: Better him...uh her then you, right...right?

Alistair: I guess so.

Alistair dissapproves

DANG IT!!



*Start scene over*

Alistair: Are you sure...

Me: Shale crush Alistair!

Alistair: What?

Shale: I will, but not because IT told me to do. I just happen to like squishing things.

Me: HA! Jerk! You shouldn't be so disapproving!

Alistair: I'm sorry, I approve.

Me: Exxxcccellent.

Alistair approves (muahahahah)

Orzammar Guard Captain (OGC): I can't believe it, we have a king. Thank you Grey Warden.

Me: You're welcome.

OGC: Err, um, just between you and me, what made you pick Bhelen?

Me: Oh that. It was the easiest choice. His name comes before Harrowmount's in the alphabet and most importantly it only has two syllables..

OGC: You picked our king on the because he had the shorter name?

Me: Well, everyone kept calling me 'Grey Warden' because my name, Amelia, is too hard to pronounce. I figured the king with the easiest name should win under those circumstances.

Yup, Alistair disapproves when you get Shale no matter what so now I just tell Shale to attack Alistair if he's along.  If I'm gonna get it anyway, I'm gonna earn it!

And he's cute when he says "Hey!"

That does crack me up.  I'm always surprised that they couldn't have swapped in one of several names at certain points.  I'm always "My Lady" or "My Lord" or "The Grey Warden"

At least Shale's up front about assigning me a neutral descriptor.

Wynne: It's...

Shale: Brother...

Leliana: Genitivi!

Wynne: We must help him!

Shale: It must have information.

Leliana: That poor man!

Me: Um...Lel, would you mind, just...you know, scooting behind that bookcase and opening that chest?

Leliana: What? But...Brother Genitivi!

Me: I know, I know, and...it seems awful. But..maybe it's a trap, you know, maybe it's going to explode! And...and hurt Brother Genitivi!

Leliana: You're cute, you are. But I'm not that stupid.

Me: I am not schlepping back here just because I failed to plan ahead.

Leliana: We'll talk. In camp.

Me: *sigh* Not if I can help it.

Leliana: Oh...you haven't seen trap yet...

Me: Shale, move, you're stepping on his abdomen.

So, with Shimmering Shield fixed in the latest patch I finally decided to give the Arcane Warrior spec a try. This is kind of how I feel when I play this character:

Me: *activating Combat Magic* Super Saiyan mage!
Allistair: Super say- what now?
Me: *casting Cone of Cold* Kame-hame-ha!
Allistair: Kame-hame- HUH?
Leliana: What is he talking about?
Me: *slashing wildly at Darkspawn* No one can stand before the might of a super saiyan wielding the Sword of Trunks!
Allistair: Sword of... what?
Me: *casting Mana Clash* Spirit Bomb!
Shale: It's gone mad. Completely mad. I knew I should crushed it's head when as soon as it awakened me.
Me: *throwing my buckler at a Genlock archer* Desctructo Disk!

Sorry, even I think that's pretty lame. What can I say? As embarrassing as it is to admit, back in my high school days I was a pretty avid Dragonball Z fan. Every time my Arcane Warrior turns Combat Magic on, it makes me think of Goku going Super Saiyan. It could only be more awesome if the spell also turned my character's hair gold and his eyes seafoam green.

Me: Wynne?



Wynne: Yes, dear?



Me: Back at the tower you said blood magic was evil. But you are now a blood mage.



Wynne: I never said that.



Me: I remember the conversation distinctly.



Wynne: What I said was that blonde magic was dangerous. You misunderstood me.



Me: Blonde magic?



Wynne: Yes. The peroxide produces unfortunate side effects when it gets too close to lyrium. There was one mage who wound up bleaching his brain that way. If I remember correctly he actually wound up giving his personal golem free will. It killed him of course. Blonde magic is easily the most dangerous magic imaginable.

I defend your right to be embarrassed.  Lord knows I abuse if not flaunt my own right to do so.

Too funny.  Arcane warrior is definitely worth some enthusiasm

[Xandurpein]

This is not really intended to be funny at all. I'm not even sure it's particuarily romantic. This is just what goes through my head when I play through Morrigan's romance and wonder about how an epilogue could add some measure of additional closure to it.

Scene: In camp just outside Ostergard, revisiting the Battlefield when the game is over.

"In a place where many people have died, the border between the real world and the Fade becomes thin and spirits can enter our world easier, or even vice versa..."

(The main character awakes and finds himself in the Fade, and discovers Morrigan there)
Me: Morrigan, is that you?
Morrigan: At least your eyes are working.
Me: Morrigan, I found you at last!
Morrigan: Not really no. This is the Fade so technically I'm just a dream, and the truth is that I found you.
Me: But we are together now, that's what is important!
Morrigan: *Sigh* Again you leap into unfounded conclusions. I'm far way from you. This is the Fade.
Me: but at least we can talk to each other now.
Morrigan: Yes, that is true. I suppose your stubborn inability to face reality makes this necessary, unpleasant though it may be.
Me: Unpleasant? Don't you want to see me gain? I love you and I thought you loved me too.
Morrigan: I suppose this is going to be more unpleasant than I thought.
Me: Why? Why would seeing me be unpleasant?
Morrigan: Isn't it blatantly obvious? It is tue that I... felt strongly for you. More strongly than I have ever felt for anyone. I don't want you to make me regret it.
Me: Why would you regret it?
Morrigan: Why do you think I fell for you in the first place? Of all the beings I have ever met you are the one I truly felt respect for. Even when I disagreed with your vapid notions of compassion, I respected you for your strength and determination. You forged your own destiny. Now you want to deny me the same.
Me: What do you mean?
Morrigan: Did you even listen to me? I told you that this is what I have to do! Just as you had to stop the Blight. What if I had asked you to abandon your quest to save the land from the Blight? Would you have done it? Do you think that I would have respected you if you had done what I asked?
Me: But.. but even you wanted the Blight to be stopped!
Morrigan: that is beside the point. You HAD to stop the Blight, and because of reasons that are my own, I wanted the same. Our mutual interests allowed me to enjoy your company on your quest, and as wonderful as it was, it was only possible because our true goals coincided. Now my goal no longer has room for you. Nothing have changed, except that we can no longer afford the luxury of our companionship.
Me: That is a cold way to describe our time together.
Morrigan: Is it? Is it really? Was being with me truly more important than stopping the Blight? Think carefully on your answer.
Me: But.. but.. the Blight would have killed everything.
Morrigan: Yes. Stopping the Blight was more important. More important than any ridiculous notions of happy ever after in an imaginary shell of insulation. If that was what you wanted you know you should have gone for the little redhead tart instead. You did what you had to, now I must do I what I have too.
Me: But, you won't even tell me what it is you are doing...
Morrigan: I have told you some of it. The rest is not for you to know. It's not cruelty on my part, it's simply the way it has to be.
Me: I still love you Morrigan, I can't just let you go...
Morrigan: The point is you can't "have me" whatever you think or do, I am going to forge my own destiny, just as you forged yours, and my destiny is elsewhere. While I have may have regrets that you are not in it, things remain as they are.
Me: That 's.. that's... cruel
Morrigan: That is what I told you from the start. Didn't you listen at all? Did you think I was just some prize to be won? Struggling to resist your charms, just so your victory became all the sweeter, when you had broken me and I turned into our meek little housekeeper?
Me: I never wanted to break you. I love you the way you are.
Morrigan: Then why do you persist in trying to rob me of my destiny? Why can't you respect what I must do?
Me: So this is really goodbye then?
Morrigan: Yes it is. We had a grand adventure together, but it's over now. Have a good cry if you absolutly must, but after I'm gone please. It would no doubt sicken me. But it's over, and now it's time for a new adventure.
Me: I suppose you are right, but I'll still miss you...
Morrigan: And I'll miss you. Missing you will be so much better than loosing my respect for you, because you want to turn me into something I'm not.
Me: Goodbye then Morrigan, I love you!
Morrigan: I love you too... and one more thing...
Me Yes?
Morrigan: When I said a new adventure, I didn't mean the redhead, ok?
Me: I get it.
Morrigan: good, now I...

(Player wakes up to find Wynne gently poking him)
Wynne: Time to wake up. We have much to do..
Me: I know, I know...

Agreed, the sight of Wynne in massive armour is worth the price of the game alone.

[Asante81]

So... I know, this took a while. Sorry, had some trouble with the game yesterday. *grml*
Lost all my characters and savegames... *sigh*
Anyway. Here's something more. Though not part two of the Werewolves. Don't have a savegame near the Lady atm and have a bad memory and need to do the conversation with her again for the details, hehe.


I'm standing at the bridge in Ostagar, watching Duncan and Mischief walking towards the other end, into the camp, take a deep breath and... notice the amazing view. The pass beneath, the ruins of the Tevinter fortress clinging in the sides of the mountain like a bird of prey near its nest, guarding its eggs. The not so far-off mountain peaks, piercing the almost bright blue sky give me the feeling of vacation in the mountains and I cannot avoid the thought of building a hotel in the old Tevinter style once the darkspawn will be gone. I'm closing my eyes, imagining all the money I could make with owning a hotel here while I'm listening to the gentle howl of the wind in the chasm beneath my feet, the sound of cloth against cloth coming from the banners and the chirping birds. Nothing at all indicates what is going to happen soon.
But standing around, admiring the view doesn't bring me anywhere and I know that I still have a lot to do before nightfall, so I set foot on the bridge to follow the dead man and my smelly dog.
Walking over the bridge I cannot help but grumble about the future cost of inevitable renovation. This bridge is nothing but a deathtrap! I wonder how many drunken soldiers already fell down the gaps...

Guard: "Hail, you must be the Grey Warden recruit Duncan brought." I'm greeted by the guard at the entrance of the camp.
Me: "No, I'm queen Anora, can't you see that? The honey-blond hair... soft skin... stern look on my face." I'm trying to look at him as if I was very displeased about something like my doggy pooping in my bed and he's the one responsible for cleaning it.
Guard suddenly becomes very nervous: "Oh... ehm... your... Highness? We, eh... weren't expecting you..."
He almost wets his pants and is sweating like a turkey in the oven.
Me: "I decided to pay a little surprise visit to my dear husband and father."
Guard: "Oh... well... then... Shall I, eh, announce your Highnesses arrival then?"
Me: "It's a surprise visit. Surprise visits aren't fun if you announce them."
Guard: "As you wish... your Highness..."
I pretend storming into the camp as a queen would, but can't help myself and have to start laughing. I decide to turn back. The confused expression on his face was what I had waited for. Ha!
Me: "I'm not queen Anora, of course. You can stop peeing your pants. I am the Grey Warden recruit the dea... I mean... Duncan brought." I can see the relief on his face. He is about to open his mouth to say something, but I already know what he is about to say, so I don't even let him start. "And no, thank you, but I know my way around the camp."
Guard appears confused again: "But... how? Didn't you just arrive?"
Me: "Have you seen that filthy Mabari at Duncan's side? That's mine... and since I am... eh... The Beastmaster, I can see through his eyes. So, there's no need to show me around."
Guard: "Ah that sounds like a very useful talent. Do all Ash Warriors have that talent?"
Me: "No. It's a... personal gift."
I consider that conversation as done, turn left and officially enter the camp.
I decide to skip the guard in front of Cailan's tent as he isn't in there anyway. But there is one thing I always wanted to do. So I walk straight towards Loghain's tent. I already know, with a bit of persuasion the guard will let me talk to him. Pretending to be a good girl, I talk him into calling the Teyrn. Ah, if only I could stab him right where he stands. Still dwelling on my imagination of gutting him, I almost miss him approaching me.
Loghain: "Yes, what is it? Ah, you're Duncan's new Grey Warden, I assume."
I raise my hand and slowly stretch my finger out to point directly at him and try to sound as mysterious and gloomy as possible.
Me: "I will see you again. The seasons will come and go, but there will be a day, where you will have to face my wrath for the crimes you will have done."
The guard draws his blade, but Loghain holds him back. Not that he would have frightened me anyway...
Loghain raises an eyebrow, comes a step closer and slightly lowers his head in a threatening manner: "I do not know what you mean by that, woman. But if I were you, I would be very careful with your threats." he said calmly. His voice didn't lack the proper mixture of menace and danger and didn't show any sign of insecurity. Yes, he is a dangerous man who knows exactly what he's doing.
I let out a short laugh and lean closer to him: "This, my dear Loghain, was not a threat, it was prediction." I lean even closer to him and stretch myself so my face is right next to his and whisper in his ear: "I know what you are about to do. And know this: every action will lead to a reaction."
Loghain withdraws from this almost intimacy, takes a step back and lets out a disgruntled snort. The guard raises his weapon, but Loghain stops him again.
Loghain: "I do not think someone would really be as foolish as this, walking straight into the camp, threatening me right in front of my tent, so I assume this is a very tasteless prank. Go and tell my dear son-in-law King Cailan and his friend Duncan, or whoever incite you to do this, that this is neither the place nor the time for banter like this."
I release my tensed posture, tilt my head and force myself to something like a disarming smile while actually gnawing my teeth about the missed chance of introducing my knee to his privates, wondering if his metal codpiece would have prevented all pain for him.
Me: "Aw... now, you got me. What shall I say?"
I shrug. Loghain looks at me as if I was a particularly fat and disgusting bug sitting in his soup. He turns around to go back to his tent, but decides to turn back to me.
Loghain: "Be lucky that I didn't do with you what you deserve."
I keep smiling.
Me: "Oh I am a very lucky girl, indeed."
For a second I think he's about to loose his control and become angry, but he just frowns.
Loghain: "Do I know you? You do seem... familiar."
Me: "Ah, I'm flattered that you remember such an insignificant person as Teyrn Couslands daughter."
Loghain: "I knew you were familiar. And I will tell your father about... wait, Cailan told me..."
I interrupt him: "Yes, they're dead." I make a sad doggy face.
Loghain: "And you..."
Me: "Yes, well... I'm a disturbed little girl in shock. Disturbed little girls in shock with a slaughtered family tend to do weird things like tasteless pranks on important men with a bad temper hoping they would add her to her dead family." I try to look cute and innocent and in grief and desperate at the same time and still think about my knee in his privates.
Without a further word he turns around and goes back into his tent.
I keep smiling and stroll along the path that leads to the quartermaster's area.

I'm not a professional author, but I like to write.  I am a professional editor, so that means I get to play with words all day long.  But the joy of being an amateur author is that it's all for your own benefit and if you can share it, more power to you.  Since nobody's paying you, they can't really have much...oomph behind their criticism, can they?  They can't edit it and their criticism for something free is...cool if it's constructive, immaterial if it's destructive.  It's strictly amateur and it's strictly for whatever you decide it's gonna be - fun, or creative catharsis or whatever.  I'm not really here to judge people's writing, because you have to pay me for that.  

The important part is that you enjoy writing it, and I enjoy reading it, so the rest of it to me doesn't matter

Please do continue

Your English is MUUUCH better than my German!

Always gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling if people like what I write because usually I don't like it myself.

Yeah, people can be very critical.  But I'm not one of them.  Well, again, not unless you pay me to do so, and even then I consider tact to be part of the bottom line.

It's sort of like sex.  I prefer enthusiastic and passionate amateur to polished professional.  Not that you can't have polished, enthusiastic and passionate amateur as well.  But talent really doesn't need a price tag or recognition to be talent.  In fact sometimes the price tag and recognition ruins it.
