Yeash for some reason I gave Zevran a chance and now I like his romance over Alistair's one far better. Though for some reason I have trouble making a softer face for my femelves. Their eyes are always so angry. What I want in a sequel is the ability to play with lighting and move your PC around to see it from very different angles, like in Spore.

Ah, with Alistair, it's a bit more subtle than Zevran. He has a lot of romance starting lines, even in REALLY inappropriate places (like setting up the marriage between him and Anora). Heh, one of the funniest moments in the game was learning that.

Alistair: WHY would I want to be king?
Warden: Men in power are sexy!
Alistair: OOOOOOH! Are you saying I'm sexy?
Warden: Yeh. Now what about marrying Anora?
Alistair: WAIT! What about us?
Warden: There is no us!

Alistair disapproves -25

Paraphrased of course, but that was a riot.

Edit: Actually, lamppost conversation is safe, just when he calls you beautiful, don't get all, "ooooh, you think I"m beautiful?" Really, the best way to not turn on the romance is to just not flirt at all, and when he flirts, get him back on track.  Like this:

Warden: Just try that line on me!
Alistair: I have other lines to use on you!
Warden: RIIIIIIGHT!  Let's get back on subject here.

instead of
Warden: Why don't you try them some time?

I guess I have done the romance enough times that I can spot the starter lines.  Even when I raise his approval with gifts, I never end up in a romance with him.

Zevran's romance is definitely grittier than Alistair's, but I think in many ways it's sweeter as well, because it's more based on reality.  Alistair's has the sweeter words, but he also doesn't look to the future.  He enjoys first love, and it is a real love, but it's not until after he really falls in love that the implications hit him.  Zevran, though he fights it the entire time, has eyes wide open.  Love is the last thing he wants or expects, but once he falls in love, he knows exactly what he wants.  He just needs to be able to sort it out.

Edit: posted without proofing again!

Second edit: Posting a pic because I can!

Still my very favorite screenie...

*sigh*



I think I got a pretty decent looking femelf, just started another dalish for an Ali hate game.....and not going to soften up on him after Tamlen this time.....Server is slow on uploading.



But at least I was able to figure out how to edit the changemorph file so I could combine all the different mods......I know I know, pretty basic low level tech, but I was kinda psyched it worked and I didn't wonk the game :)



Now to be brave enough to play a blue/green or pink character......hmmm, maybe my parents were dye merchants and I fell into a vat of indigo or something.....



Is there a reason you can't see eye color changes in the in-game character creator?

This happens when your graphics quality is set too low.  Go into Options, and raise the slider until you can see the eye color in character creation.  You can turn the slider back down before you play the actual game.

Thanks!



Good to know, I had turned down my video quality while playing on the airplane (so I didn't use up mt battery as fast) but hadn't turned it back up yet.

So...more Witcher pics...Man this game just sucks you right in, and playing it on hardest difficulty is like throwing yourself against a metal stake. ( though I like the challenge )

Two farmers watching a mill they think is haunted by the screams they hear in the distance, when in fact Geralt is only having some sweet time.

Oh and of course Geralt protects damsels in distress ( only after getting laid of course ).

De-lurking to drop latest kmeme fill, Restraint -- (link on kmeme itself). NSFW.

Zevran/Tannu with the usual sort of bells and whistles... + chastity belt.

Also, bi-curious Alistair kind of snuck into my head a little, because I get mostly the same convos on my guys, too... I just don't get the really flirty options. So don't read it if the idea of Alistair realizing that he might want to lick other men's lampposts too makes you cry. I will cheerfully mock any QQing!

Way to skip 101 and just audit Advanced Topics 453, Alistair!

Aro, you are devious in the best ways.

Alistair licking lamp posts? I always thought that was a weird line since all I could think is 1) Alistair is REALLY flexible or 2) There's something him and Zevran aren't telling me (or would Ali be more of a Sten man?)



And gotta say, so far, playing Alistair hate and no coercion sure is fun!

Hmm, have we forgotten Zevrinjection Friday this week? I don't want to impose that sort of pictures if everyone has lost interest.


Some Zevran shots from my latest playthrough instead:

Just 10 minutes of Friday left where I am, so I'll sneak in some Zevrinjection while I can.


Just a relaxing day on the beach:

I slept through most of this weeks ZFriday.
@ Aro, nice story! I wonder if there's such a thing as contraption kink (kink for contraptions)? I'm sure there is.

@:Arundor, I love that spot in Redcliffe. That's one of the places I take Zevran for certain conversations (I don't like to always have them in camp).

Some morning amusement (probably unintelligible to those outside the UK and under 40).

Hello ZevThread!

Y'all helped me resolve some questions about Master Ignacio a while back, and the thingie I needed it for is complete, so (drive-by linkage).  There's a Zevran romance although all the naughty bits are covered by disembodied floating Wynne heads (metaphorically).  Strong language and screenshots of in-game gore.


I'm a few days late but I didn't have time to read this until now. It is very nice. I like. :)

:lol::lol: And thanks, haha. Now I gotta figure out what Zev's revenge will be. Eventually. *stares at prompts*

Yeeaaaah, makes you wonder a bit. :lol:

There's actually all sorts of sub-kinks for different kinds of contraptions, lol. And there's an entire one specifically around chastity devices, although their use is generally more... long-term than the shenanigans I wrote up. The stuff I wrote was totally softcore for that subculture, lol.

I really do research the weirdest things sometimes.

I'll probably sound unhinged asking for plot, but... given that the events of "Blood Enthrallment" are apparently classic Blood Mage behavior, that Alistair's got ~10 years of templar training, and what he just saw... I'd think he'd have some serious questions (over and above 'why do my pants feel funny').

I'm aware of the chastity device subculture, and then there's the machines for ... you know, which also have quite a big following, but I was also wondering if there was a kink just for contraptions per se, if you know what I mean.   Because if there is, I think I might have it, that would be interesting.  I actually asked for a contraption in one of my kmeme prompts.   Anyway, your chastity device seemed a bit more devious and involved than the usual perspex cage type thingies, and you've got me thinking about a sex shop full of amazing W Heath Robinsonesque contraptions.

Missed that from all the pics. I like to bullrush the reporter myself, is quite satisfying.

Owning the reporter at her own game Skip to 3:10
