I think it makes my Warden/Hawke look badass

I find it interesting that in one thread gamers are asking for nudity and in this thread no blood on the face during cutscenes. You just slaughtered the enemy you would think that blood would cover just about everything including your own blood if injured. During a real battle the combatants normally did not have time to clean up so they spoke to each other through blood covered faces. Sometimes they would wipe their eyes to keep the blood form obscuring vision. That is realistic.

Agreed. This.

Doesn`t the blood splatters get removed if you turn the violence level in the game down?

It does, but what the OP is asking for (unless I am completely misunderstand, which I don't think I am) is for blood splatters to be in as they are normally, but have them cleaned from faces only after combat.  Which makes sense to me; who wants blood dripping into their eyes and mouth while they casually chat over the corpses of their enemies?  Cleaning armour can wait until you return home/to camp, but blood really doesn't taste all that good.

I just turn that affect off in options. Its a bit too much, if you ask me.

Give me blood! Blood! Gallons of the stuff! Give me all that I can drink and it will never be enough!

Never bothered me that much.

Guess they don't have napkins in Thedas.

Yes, exactly.

I currently do turn off the blood spatter, usually.  But I'd rather keep it on if it wasn't for the blood on the face in conversations.

My characters gladly soak themselves in the life source of their enemies.

i actually took the title of this thread literally and got a visual of pc's pulling out a rag and wiping their faces off while someone was talking to them. which, pft! silly me, right?

but then i got to thinking and decided that might actually be pretty cool to see...

At least until one character does the mom trick and spits on a handkerchief before wiping a spot off of someone else's face.

...this seems like something Wynne might do.

I wouldn't mind being splattered in blood if it didn't look so damn ridiculous.

Then again, I don't see what this discussion is for. There's been the option of turning the blood splattering off since Origins.

It's a suggestion of how to improve it so that I won't want to turn it off.

The bloodiness of the battles in DAO and DA2, in general, was excessively over the top. People are not made of bloodbags, with explosive squibs attached, loosely packed around a framework of bone and covered in skin.

[lv12medic]

Part of what can be improved is the actual blood spattering. As it stands right now it looks like the characters were attacked by an angry 2-year old with a spoonapault and a bowl of chocolate pudding for ammunition. I personally would like to see a little less use of the blood but see stuff added in like sweat and dirt making people look like they actually exerted themselves in combat.

As for wiping off the spattering, I dunno. Unless they have some sort of towel/rag available I wouldn't want to wipe my face while wearing all that armor with all those spikes everywhere.

Yup the blood setting Is the first thing I've turned off in Dragon Age. Ever since my very first Origin's character, where my noble's thrilling battle with small rats left his team looking like refugees from Carrie's prom. Apparently rats are dimensional conduits to the Plane of Blood.

DA2 was a slight improvement in that the blood faded relatively quicky. But the fading didn't happen during cutscenes.They really need to tone it down to less rediculous levels.

I actually did the same thing, though I think DA2 dealt with this a lot better.


My personal favourite bug with the blood system is when somehow the allowed/restricted areas for the effect were reversed.  Which meant that after battle you had copious amounts of insanely thick blood splatter entirely around Hawke's eyes.

Almost like he had decided to put on some really really really bad makeup.  Was very surreal to go through the conversations when that was happening.  Everyone with heavy concentrations of blood completely around their eyes.

No, but wouldn't it be a wonderful world if they were?

I never saw that because I turned the blood off.  It sounds amazing, though! 

Personally, the blood on the face is the only reason I turn off the blood effects.  I really hope that DA3 either has spatter that can be set to avoid the face, or the ability to keep gore turned on and just turn off the spatter patterns.

High concentrations of blood is good for the bags under our eyes.

I really liked the blood splatter. I actually wish it stuck around on your character longer.

I think this would actually work for a blood mage---blood makeup lol

It was fixed before release so you shouldn't have been able to see it.

Got any pics of that glitch, Allan dear?

I didn't mind blood in DA2.
I remember Sandal in the deep road when he explained how he froze the oger , then he smiled.
He had blood all over his teeth.
It was really scary , like more than the darkspawn.

I have come to the conclusion bloodbaths are actually the main way the common folk in Thedas actually clean themselves. So having my characters covered head to toe in blood is actually a plus in universe: it shows they are very concerned about their personal hygiene...

This is also why blood mages never catch any disease in spite of the obnoxious places they normally reside in...
