If Leliana and Wynne are both in the party when defiling Ashes, Wynne overrides Leliana. It's very weird, I know, why suddenly Leliana is not against it if Wynne is. It's maybe a bug with the triggers or something like it.

edit: Apparently she overrides Leliana, if they're both left in camp, as well.
(also edited so it's not such a huge post)

Leliana said nothing to you? That's odd. She has always freaked out on my character! Hmmmm, have you spoken with her at camp yet?

The moment I entered camp Wynne came to me with her 'you're not like I thought you be.' talk. Once that was finished I expected to get a new cutscene for Leliana (first time defiling, no idea what was supposed to happen). Nothing happened.
Because nothing happened I talked to her and I got the normal dialogue options (need to talk to you about something, what is someone like you doing -, I want you to leave.' That's it. o.o'

Edit: just for the record, Leliana and Wynne were both at camp during the defiling act.

Yes, the buff, confident, joking, and flirtatious guy archetype is often found in the published smut romance section of the book store (or, ya know, amazon.com). So apparently we aren't the only ones that think he's an endearing (and attractive) type...

LOL :o
but yes, confidence IS sexy.

Yeah. I'm sure you're all broken up, Ramante.

Yes.. it was very sad, needed 2 Zevran tent scenes to recover.

The annoying French girl said nothing about the Ashes, that was quite surprising. After that quest my Warden went to Redcliff, time for the Landsmeet.. Eamon suddenly told me about Alistair being a royal bastard, apparently we didn't have that conversation yet. (oops)

@ejoslin, he looked so cute during the Gauntlet, though cute is not the right word. I actually thought he looked vulnerable and very defensive. Loved his comment about the 'nice vase', good thing I (or actually he) found a fancy vase in a locked chest..


If you left both of them at camp, you'll only get Wynne's confrontation and not Leliana's. Some mod (can't remember which) switches it so you get Leliana's instead of Wynne's and can therefore keep from losing Wynne. Clearly, that mod will go to the top of your download priority list...

And you only needed two tent scenes? Geez, I needed at least three just to recover from not defiling the ashes and losing Wynne...


Edit: Gotta remember the ninjas. :ph34r: Type faster, darnit!

So she is not supposed to talk about it in the same camp session as Wynne?
I'll try it next time I start my pc (now on laptop).

Nonvita, I don't mind losing Wynne, though it is a shame of her apology talk.

True enough, Nonvita.
I think it has a lot to do with people expecting Zevran to turn into a groveling, grateful bootlicker, and that he should simply accept being treated like garbage. He should be beating his chest, sceaming "mea culpa" and be full of regrets about his former life.
They want him to be something that he could never be. They don't see that he is serious about protecting the Warden. Lordy, I never forget the time my (silly) mage suddenly realized that he was saving her squishy mage-butt more times than she could count.


Heh, if someone wants THAT, they're not going to get it from anyone!  Even Alistair has his limits.

And yeh, Zevran is extremely protective.  Not only his battle tactics, but he doesn't take kindly to someone not treating the warden with respect (LOVE him in Redcliff).


And with Anora - thank you Ejoslin.

People seem to be expecting it, but only from Zevran. He should be 'grateful' that they spared him, and they would never 'suck up' to him, etc, etc. ad nauseum.

That is something even my (silly) mage didn't expect. As far as she was concerned, they entered into a bargain. She'd protect him and give him a shot at freedom (she hated the thought of being a slave, must have something to do with her having been locked up most of her life), and he would protect her, and do all the other rogue stuff he said he could do. Although I had to respec him. I still can't understand that an assassin should have zero lock-picking skill. Thank goodness for Raven and her mod.

Although, my two favorite modders reside right here in this thread. :D

I can't believe I'm posting this after the fanfiction discussion, but here's what I wrote, after RTO was mentioned earlier today.  It seemed to get censored on the blog here, so I've put it on Livejournal for now.   I'm not sure if it really counts as fanfiction so I haven't put it on fanfiction.net yet.   It's not the sort of stuff you guys write - I couldn't do that.  It's just a bit of silliness.  I've put a warning at the top. 

ETA: It's a Zevran/Sten/Wynne/Morrigan pairing - pairing?  Fouring?  Just to warn you, in case you don't want to look.

ETA 2: Possibly NSFW, depending on where you work.

Tears in my eyes!  :lol:

*grin* Thanks Sabriana. I finally saw the Cullen mod and I think the wording is awkward if you do the persuade check, so I may change it. But I LOVED the Ser Perth change. I can't believe I'm just getting around to looking at them.



@Ramante you know, I've always had either Wynne or Leliana in my party if defiling the ashes. Having to kill one of them to me seems to be the whole point of the act (hmmmm, especially Wynne, come to think of it). Oh, I know there are game play reasons and stuff, but killing Wynne is reason enough for me!

oh cute! I should get around to reading their fic, but I am still currently wrestling this chapter and it's being an arse. I hate the ashes, and once I am over this stump hopefully it'll be easier.

@Sannox: I am *not* explaining why I am snickering madly to my son. He would completely miss the innuendo there as well. That was wonderful. :)

Yes, because we are a very serious and on-topic group...  Hmmmm, you haven't been around here at night, have you? :P

And you are right about the voice.

Sannox that was hilarious! And I loved Tellervo's ficlet as well and I usually hate song fics but it was written very sweetly and Cadryn seems to be an extremely endearing fellow.

Awesome. Coming back to work today I am reminded of how (prior to the weekend) I infected my computer with a virus, and after deleting the infected files it took the virus scanner 2 1/2 hours to detect, found out that I managed to screw up Firefox, the scanner/printer software, and the virus scanner itself... The IT guy won't be happy with me. >.>
Plus now I get to browse the forums on beautiful IE that screws up the formatting of the site entirely.

In other news, the rain is gone, and the sky is now perfectly blue and clear.

In on-topic news... I have nothing to say. Posted Image My life feels like such a sham.

Edit: TL, that pic still cracks me up on so many levels. Posted Image

Good morning, all. Wow, those pictures are beautiful!

@Tellervo I have all of Zevran's dialog at the gates fixed (yay) and am currently working on Alistair's (I'm close to having his fixed as well, though I had a setback last night and had to reinstall the toolset with NONE of Alistair's changes, so working on that again). My latest version (1.52) corrects many of the other errors surrounding Zevran, especially in Alistair's dialog.

Hopefully I will have Alistair no longer referring to himself as king when Charsen is finished with the kiss. This will be the only endgame mod that corrects that AND doesn't change the lore.

But I'm not there yet :(

Edit: And yes, feel better Charsen and Surreal.  Being sick is awful :(


So... does this mean you want me to take video of that tonight?  I think I need people to start PMing me when they want me to do such a thing, it gets lost in this thread very easily.

*grin* I don't think there's anything worth video'ing in the mod.  But I did get the mod finished, I hope.  I'm considering the Alistair changes beta because I do not have the patience to thoroughly test every scenario.  

You know, I'm not even sure why I did that @ you.  I only got 3 hours sleep last night.  I'm sure I had a reason, but it's lost on me now :unsure:

Thanks for the comments about my silly fanfic. I'm glad you liked it. Triplight, I think your Zevran/Sten picture must have been in my mind when I was writing it. I imagined Zevran making a beeline for Sten as soon as he had the chance.

I had the situation with Wynne and Leliana in camp, where Wynne left, but Leliana didn't, even though I expected it. It was even more messed up because I had avoided talking to her, so when I did, thinking that I'd get the Ashes conversation over with, she started singing the song from the Brecilian forest quest.

There always seems to be Muse playing in my house, and yes, the lyrics of that song really fit well. I loved the fic as well, Tellervo. I wish I could write like that.
