Man, I love his nose. I did not know I was a nose person until just now. Learn something new every day.
ikr. I've known I was a nose person since Alistair. Blackwalls nasal bridge looks a bit crooked though. Does he have a broken nose of something? That's... kind of sexy actually what is wrong with me today idefk...
I'm probably repeating what's been said before on this thread, but in replaying Blackwall's recruitment, I noticed this note on one of the bandits. I think it illustrates what could have become of Blackwall if he hadn't been a better man.
So not all the lines fit exactly, and I've loved this song before I ever played DA:I (and it meant something different when I listened before), but now I hear the song sung from Blackwall's perspective, towards his love, the Inquisitor. I hear it as before she knows the truth, when he only feels like a good man when he is with her, especially when he is with her.
This is the live SNL version, the radio release is a little more powerful (since it has a full orchestra backup), but then you don't get to see the tall scruffy Irishman sing it. I was torn... but had to go with the visual.
Some pertinent lyrics:
My lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval, should've worshiped her sooner
If the heavens ever did speak, she's the last true mouthpiece
...
My Church offers no absolutes
She tells me, 'Worship in the bedroom.'
The only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you—...
Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life...
There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin
In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene
Only then I am Human
Only then I am Clean
Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.
I've been hearing this during the promos for Empire for a while now, and I thought it was a cool song but had no idea what the title was or that it was Hozier singing it until you linked the video - lol! This did just cement my decision to buy his album (ended up getting it on itunes for the extra tracks just now, heh), and I do think it's a good Blackwall fit. Woohoo for scruffy Irishmen!
EDIT: Dang it, Hozier wasn't on The Voice on Monday night - maybe it's Tuesday (unless he was on the previous week, blargh).

Yeah, Ceoldoren mentioned this note before and typed up the text. I totally agreed with him that the note (along with Blackwall's comment(s) after you dispatch the bandits) seems to indicate that this particular bandit may have actually been one of Rainier's former men.
::pokes head into thread:: Got something to ask all the Blackwallmancers. Myself and friend of mine are both romancing Blackwall with our Quizzy's we both play on the 360 and we've both gotten the scene with Blackwall in the Quizzy's room but we both got a fade to black. It seems to the two of us as if it cut off sooner that it should have.
Anyone know if it's a bug, glitch or meant to be like that?
And yes for the record I am a guy. As if my name and avatar weren't a clue. 
I seem to mostly play females in Bio RPG's for some odd reason. I do have a male Quizzy ready to woo Cassandra however. 
The scene where he visits you in your room ends with smooches by the stair railing (fade to black). More to come later 
it's fun to replay scenes, but also just exploring more with them and of course, crafting silly outfits.
Ah thank you. So it did play out as was intended. It just seemed to cut off rather suddenly was all.
I seriously hope they add the mirror. I honestly deleted like some where around 15 people yesterday trying to make another girl for Blackwall. I was so tired of the beginning of the game! I'll try to get a ss of her next time I play and you guys can tell me if she is worthy of keeping!
You're welcome OfficerDonNZ. Any time ended with Blackwall is too sudden imo

That makes sense, though it's a pretty big coincidence.
I really want a different skyhold outfit. I'm actually tempted to install the cheat engine program, just so I can wear my armor around the keep instead of the beige clothes.
And a mirror would be so wonderful right now. I've been trying all afternoon to make another character, and still haven't been satisfied. Also doesn't help that I'm wavering between a mage for Cullen or a guy for Dorian, or an elf for Solas. Eventually I'll probably make one for each (and more), but that's then and this is now, lol. Also probably doesn't help that I have a different world state I want for each character, or that I really just want to re-play Blackwall! I'm determined to try out at least one romance before I go back to him, though.
Do Dorian, so you can't be tempted by Blackwall, and also because he's amazing, hehe.
The bolded made me laugh, because I was totally back to being 14 years old and snickering like, okay, I will ! 
Blackwall's romanced tarot card has to be the best out of all the cards. Sometimes I find myself lost, just staring at it, instead of proceeding into the area. I just... it's so... and it goes... unnfff.
(random thoughts as I both play and try to decide my the correct game state for my next character)
SABREENEI! Hozier has sooo many fitting songs, it's ridonkulous. "I know who I am when I'm alone/Something else when I see you" Dude. Duuuude.

No, it's not serious.

...I hate you so much.

I know! Isn't it crazy??! I keep having his album on repeat, and every song I'm just like... and this can apply to Blackwall. And this can apply to Blackwall. And this can apply to Blackwall. Plus, all his songs are insanely good, and can be interpreted in so many ways. When I first found him, I spent days finding different versions of all the songs on youtube, because he has a lot of acoustic versions, or versions he's done at shows. I'm just... mildly obsessed. Just a little bit. Maybe.
I have to admit, I laughed harder at the wrecking ball reference than I should have. I blame the wine.
I just went through the ball today, and I really liked how Blackwall was during it. It was almost like he couldn't believe that the Inquisitor would prefer his company over the other various men and women who would kill for her attention. I'm also curious when he danced before. It kind of makes me wonder what kind of life he had before the whole becoming Blackwall thing.
Picture of my mage Trevelyan and Blackwall below.
That makes sense, though it's a pretty big coincidence.
Yeah, you'd be surprised at the coincidences that maybe involve him - lol. Right, I did mean to get around to typing that journal entry in again, so here it is:
Maliphant's Journals
Some Pages Later:
There is a new soldier in our battalion: Gordian. He's an odd fellow, with an accent I can't place. Like he'd spent time in the Marches. It doesn't matter, in the end. He's been a comfort, listening to me talk about those who died. He also lost friends in Celene's war. And he's tired, like we are. He said a very wise thing: "There is no war without soldiers." The empress can't wage her war if we refuse to fight.
Maybe it was Blackwall, maybe not. I found the specific mention of the guy's Free March accent and his description as being odd somewhat suspicious (along with the wise words of wisdom), myself - heh.
Oh, as for the bandit note - just redid that bit earlier while recruiting Blackwall (started a Nightmare playthrough recently), and this is what they were shouting during the actual fight:
Bandit: "You're dead, bastard! Dead!"
Blackwall: "I wasn't here to fight. Stop, and think!"
Bandit: "Too late for that! You know how this ends!"
Think Ceol posted that bit before too - anyway, it sounded strangely personal in retrospect.
Hiya 
A question and a song:
Can you rivalmance Blackwall?
Song - originally by the Civil Wars, but also by the Nashville cast, when you can't decide between Cullen or Blackwall

For some reason, I think that this is not Blackwall because
