That's right, folks! This is the appreciation and discussion thread for the Grey Warden Companion Blackwall - The Resolve. He is the most interesting man on Thedas, a man of many names, and the holder of one of the most glorious beards that people have ever laid eyes upon... or so the rumor goes.

I liked the Cookie Monster. Who doesn't like Cookie Monster?

 

And I wrote some lines for Oghren in Origins, but he was mostly written by Jay Turner.

like a big, thick hamburger with the char and the juices

 

seasoned with salt and pepper and probably the sawdust from the floor (because it was probably dropped idk)

 

and it just fills your mouth and you're making sounds like HAAGGNHNNNGNHNAAAH

 

How... detailed.

Disturbed? Nah, I think it would take a lot more than that.

 

 

I always got As in descriptive writing when I was in elementary school.

 

It would.  My comment was sass. :P

This is what happens when I am at work and someone puts an idea into my head.  I am so sorry.

I suppose this means I'm obligated to produce now too! <_<

So facial hair is harder than I expected.  But by the end I think I nailed it. B)

Game of Thrones just seemed like too much of a tittyfest to really catch my attention. I haven't given it much serious consideration. 

 

It's a bit overboard with some of this IMO, though I do think it's an excellent show.  I have to wait for the season to pass so I can watch them all at once.  I can't wait week to week :P

We've gone over this before.  He's got a huge talent.

 

I thought we were talking about his beard before... <.<

A sword is very different! >.>

Allan, out of curiosity, how amusing is it for you when you're sitting here watching us cross our fingers on things you already know the answer to? ;o; I'm happy the finger crossing worked so far.

 

Very amusing :whistle:

Do you think the eyes may be too intense? :P

Give us a name, Bioware, or else the names will become more ridiculous over time!

 

This will probably only encourage us to never give a name ever.

 

I may petition to have his name removed from the game altogether!  More Beardy McTaintybeardenstein!

yeah, but its an extra...  you go to enjoy the drinks and the food just happens to be good

 

Actually I rarely drink.  I got to bars because they often have televisions and other things to do, and I just find it an innately more casual experience than a restaurant.

 

Often to catch a hockey or basketball game.

 

In any case, this is veering off topic.

Wasn't that concept art? Doesn't that make it far more likely to actually be in the game?

 

In terms of characters, not necessarily.  Well, in terms of a lot of things.  Concept art can come early, based on the nature that it doesn't require the toolset to be properly working!  So scenes and whatnot are concepted.  But there's a whoollllle lot of time that goes into a game and it's possible that, for a multitude of reasons, there simply won't be a scene like that in the game.

 

It'd be better to look more at "what does this scene say about the characters" than to take the scene entirely at face value.  (and even then, the characters could still evolve somewhat.  Maybe beardy guy is a bit more reserved?  Perhaps Cassandra has a hidden, crude side that blows people's mind.  Or maybe not! :) )

I want to hear some theories on what Blackwall's personality is going to be like based on what we've seen and read in World of Thedas and the website (YAY FOR UPDATES).  What do people in this thread think or hope for?

 

I have some ideas.... :whistle:
