Those are good mod ideas

[Puzzlewell]

I can say quite easily that Skelli's stuff cracks me up to no end. The solution here is simple: If you don't like it, look in your browser address line, click the little arrow pointing to your left, and back out of the topic completely.



It's the same kind of stuff I see on forums that have topics about smoking or drinking that are clearly written with people that do those activities in mind. People feel the need to enter the topic and write a page long post about how they don't smoke\\drink and would never touch the stuff.



TL;DR Calammy likes Skelli's stuff and finds it vaguely amusing when people feel the need to take the time to post (repeatedly) about something they don't like.

In Skull's defense, making snuff films for the internet is not just his passion, but also his career.

Had I the skill and talent, I'd be working on them as we speak.

Nt only would it be fun, but a bit realistic as well, since as I said, its only natural that such a diverse group of people living together would build up tensions and sometimes even come to blows, even good friends. Happened all the time in the army.

[Saurel]

It is kind of bizarre. I would suggest you amp up the creativity and expand it to all party members. And have something spur on the hatred at least.

Like scenes where  Morrigan saying "Let the mages burn" or "Serves these people right to be overcharged". At least it would give it more context.

Might have been funny if there were several creative ways in which Morrigan dies, and if they all happened after seeing a witchy little moment from Morrigan. Left me flat as is.

[Lotion Soronarr]

Any modification should be meaningfull IMHO.

While I would like aditional options in some situations, even options to kill off or smack some characters, they should be intergrated with the plot/game.

This is an awful lot of time and energy to spend on a character that someone purportedly dislikes. I mean, you essentially create a mod where a figure that looks like her stands there placidly so you can kill it (without it fighting back) over and over and over again?

Perhaps you might want to consider some medical assistance. Seriously.

Sorry dude i do not like Morrigan as well, now i would not spend the time to do what he is doing, but i will not spend anytime using her either. I usually just ignore her, leave her in camp right after i go get Wynne, I have used her to get the achievment, witch gone wild, but that is about all the use i have had for her. After i get Wynne if i am  playing a mage she has NO value. She is voice acted very well this is not a slight on Ms. Black i think it goes more to the writing than anything else. It does not help that you are forced into giving her what she wants or she leaves, which means that there is no real motivation to train, equip, or use because she will just go away in the end or force you to to make a decision that may be contrary to how you RP your PC. You tried to hard to make her what ever you were going for, i still have not figured it out yet, and as i find her dialog very annoying and in a lot of ways contrary to how i RP my PC it is just better to leave her in camp.

Just so that i am clear i am on playthrough number 8 i have used Morrigan in the first 2 never again after those two runs i have had my Morrigan dosage. 

Sincerely
Asai

P.S. Allister is starting to get on my nerves with his pouting crap at the lands meet almost to the point that Morrigan and Allister can sit there and tend the fire in camp for all i care.

You must find life overal very disturbing then...

I must admit I dont understand what OP hates about Morrigan so much. She is fun, intelligent, has a mind of her own and is very useful in fights. I love her "no nonsense" views on everything.
Guess some guys prefer buxom blonde following them meekly around without a comment.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I must say that Morrigan annoys me because of her arrogant bullying of others and the fact that she is essentially protected from any kind of comeback due to plot protection, and don't seem to see the 'intelligence' others seem to see in her.  Her attitude towards Al is like that of a twelve year old bully too:

Al: I've been thinking...
Morrigan:  *Insert generic twelve year old insult about Al's intelligence*
Al:  *Gets defensive*
Morrigan:  *More insults that a twelve year old would find clever*
Me:  Morrigan, shut the **** up will you, Al what was it you wanted?

As for the bit about some guys liking buxom blondes following around meekly, just because someone doesn't like a character you like doesn't mean they want submissive characters.  I want a female warrior in the game who will take no **** from anyone, and while some people apparently don't like Al like I do does not mean that their opinion is any less valid.

Her arrogance is her only feature. without her ****ing she has no character at all. Wynne is 100times better a mage and a lot more interesting a character than Morrigan yet she doesn't share the same level of interest as Morrigan.

Why?

******&ass.

[Aracid]

I don't see where the intellect comes in either. She's arrogant, uptight, self-righteous- she acts like a snotty spoiled princess to sum it really. I do think it unfair that we do not get the option to gut her...

[kevinwastaken]

I never knew game writers got so defensive about the characters they create. I understand having pride in your work, but white-knighting for some made up floozy is quite bizarre to say the least.

I'm not going to say I dislike her, but I know once I got Wynne I left her in camp for good. I did her personal quest and that was it. I don't know if I didn't find her interesting or what. It's hard to place.

Yeah, i love how he stormed in kicking over chairs and tables, flinging insults, pouting and thinks he is in the right to do so over a computer generated image.



Reminds me of this.

I did the same. It was her constant, and sometimes, seemingly out of the blue disapproval. I find she ****es more than Alistair, and unless I'm playing complete maniacal, almost counterproductive evil, she is far more condecending than my human noble could ever aspire to be.  Some situations it's amusing. Mostly, though, I did find Wynne more useful, given that she can heal, and has enough offensive spells to make her useful.

Morrigan's ****ieness and constant conflict would be alot more fascinating if it could boost the story further and add a more interesting element of conflict, but so far, I haven't discovered it, other than her grand designs for god-baby and her desire to show the civilized world how contemptuous she is of everything in it.

I shall have to downlaod the mod where you can get in a ****-slapping match with her. Better that than killing her.

To quote and paraphrase a line from one of my most favorite movies of all time, heavy Metal (The trial of Lincoln Stern)

Hanging's too good for her! Burning's too good for her! She should be torn into itsy bitsy pieces, and buried........... alive!

Well, he did create the character so I can definitely understand having an attachment to it and thinking the way you have fun with the character is beneath it.

Myself, I find your screenshots fairly amusing but the video does come off as kind of creepy to me as well. Maybe it's the music but it just has some weird serial killer vibe. At least I think so, but we're all entitled to our opinions.

The music idea i got from Hitman Contracts. the mission to find the daughter.

The Sten speech at the end was a self-parody about wanting to do harm to Morrigan.

Skellimancer...you need to work on your tact.



Youre' coming off as very arrogant and agressive, weather you planned it or not. Take care, or people will get the wrong idea about you...or maybe the right idea?

Was that aimed at anything in particular? I know humor does not travel too well in posts. I mean no malice if thats what you are asking.

I feel that the more insecure you feel about your creations (fear that you lack talent etc) the more you are likely to defend it. Today i saw "The Calling" on sale. Thought of buying it but changed my mind after remembering this thread.

I too was shocked by the response, seems a bit melodramatic.

[SeanMurphy2]

I think it is a different taste in fan-art. I like some of the Morrigan comics and fan-art.

Like the "Morrigan disapproves -10" picture. She looks endearing in her wierd distinctive outfit and hairstyle, her arms crossed and perpetual frown on her face.

But in this video Morrigan is hanging out peacefully at her makeshift tent, oblivious to someone hacking her to death. Then her gruesome death gets replayed and reposted. I didn't like it as much as other fan-art.

Quite a difference from Fan-art Don't worry i am not about to start drawing pictures of poor Morrigan being decapped. "Pass the red crayon!"

[SeanMurphy2]

Well it is your own distinctive form of fan-art.

It is lengthy imagery of Dragon Age characters being hacked to death in multiple ways and from different angles.


EDIT
I was joking around. :happy:. I am not aware of any fan-art movement based around the decapitation and dismemberment of all your favourite Dragon Age characters.
