So decided to spend some time doing some photo manips last night, with a theme 'Hipsters of Thedas' I did Dorian first and it turned out pretty crappy unfortunately. Solas turned out wonderful though. I'm struggling to find a good hipster photo for Blackwall though. I'm sure one will show up sooner or later. Might give Sera a go too.

With the beard he has, I think he would be perfect for the hipster look lol.  He could pass for a chef at a trendy little cafe.    I love Solas in your avi, btw.

How, Blackwall?!? HOW can you leave adorable freckled redhead Cadash in a barn, naked, in the MOUNTAINS, without putting a BLANKET over her? Maker's balls, man, are you TRYING to die? Wait. Don't answer that.

Damnit Blackwall. Blankets. Sheesh.

That's because he blanketed her with his body

[Hanako Ikezawa]

I don't think you can flirt with Blackwall as a dude, can you?

No, you cannot. I'm playing as a male, and it hasn't come up where I know it does if you're female. 

[veeia]

Yeah, that's what I thought I remembered, thanks for confirming it.

How strange! He and Solas are the only ones like that, correct?

Yeah. Cassandra, Cullen, Dorian, Josephine, Sera, and The Iron Bull can be flirted with regardless of gender even if they are not available for actual romance.

Please can you make screenshots of all his armor variations? I am extracting his armor.

[veeia]

You mean his unique outfit? Or how the additional armor changes for him, like defender/warden/whatever? I have extracted his base outfit, but I have no idea how to find those variations? I can post screenies later of his armor tho someone might beat me, I'm out all day.

I mean - how he looks when you deside to give him new armor.

Noooooooo!

Oh well, I still have IB, Cass and Dorian.

I finally finished the game! Such a great experience from start to finish, and now I'm itching to start a second playthrough. I NEVER replay a game straight away (especially one I've just plugged ~100 hours into) but I can't even imagine playing anything else at the moment.
So, final spoilery thoughts on Blackwall...

Spoiler

What a great character and romance. I've seen so many people on the BSN lately calling him boring, which I really can't get my head around. He's undoubtedly one of the most interesting characters for me, especially after the reveal, but even before that it was obvious there was so much depth under the blandly stoic surface. Sheryl did such a great job with his character. I love flawed characters and redemption stories in general, so I just ate this up. Sure, his arc totally put me through the emotional wringer, but as my Inquisitor said at the end, the destination was worth the journey, and I feel like I appreciate his character even more as a result of everything that happened. A man who once did some very bad things he still despises himself for, hiding from his past by leaving his old self to die and taking the name of another. Desperately trying to atone for his crimes by pretending to be a better person. And then through meeting the Inquisitor and fighting for the greater good, he eventually realizes he isn't pretending anymore...he's truly become a good man, and can finally face up to his past. GAH. I just loved it.

I have to say, though, I do wish there had been more content with him, especially post-Revelations. It seems like he didn't have much to say at all after the reveal and his judgement, when that period surely had potential for providing the most interesting scenes and dialogue. I guess we can hope for some more content in the inevitable DLC?

Having said that, I did love the little scene just before the final battle where he finishes the rocking griffon "for the little ones in the camps". Such a poignant moment of characterisation that shows that the Callier children still weigh heavily on his mind. And that final scene with the Inquisitor? So understated and well-done. When I first saw it, I wished there'd been more to the conversation, but now I think the scene actually doesn't need it. Those last moments on the balcony say so much without actually saying anything. And that "I'll never tire of how you see the best in everything...and everyone" line...my God, the feels. That scene felt almost like a new beginning for him, and I hope he'll now be able to start the process of eventually forgiving himself. Not forgetting--he'll never allow himself to do that--but looking to the future instead of allowing the past to bind and define him forever. And after all this, if he still needs to be punished in the eyes of Thedas...well, to put it politely, Thedas can bite me. He's just helped to save the entire world, not to mention all the other good things he did beforehand.

Okay, that ended up being way longer than I intended. But as Cole might say, I have many feelings. It's been a long, long time since a fictional character has had such an impact on me, and I can't wait to go through it all again with my next Inquisitor (or maybe the one after that, if I can tear myself away from Blackwall long enough to romance Cullen or Dorian, ha).

[veeia]

I have 270 hours on my game file now and 4 characters.

Like to be fair, I've accidentally left my game open all night a few times.

But also it was only a few times. I love this game.

[Sabreenei]

I have such a problem. I have 280 hours on my game file (at least that's what Origin tells me) but I know I've left mine open a few nights too.

 

However, I only have one main character so far! And yesterday the game made me delete some save files, because I guess I'd reached the 250 limit. Oooops!! Some of it was because I've made a million different characters the last couple days. I'm good on my mage for Cullen, but I'm being far too picky on behalf of Dorian. Dorian must get the perfect perfectness! Especially as it'll probably be the only human male I take all the way through. I'm thinking dwarf for Cassandra. I just love it, after the fighting with her and Varric, too. Plus, dwarves

[veeia]

YES CASS X CADASH. So important to me.

I love Cadash/Dorian so much too though, Dorian's unique Cadash dialogue is great (you get it with every dwarf regardless of gender or romance tho don't worry) I have rolled a human for him, and the human specific convo for men is hilarious. I won't spoil it, but lmao.

I hit the save limit on my first character too, haha, oops. I just love saving, what can I say?

[Kaidan Fan]

Funny you guys were just talking about the 250 saves thing.  I was coming to ask if anyone knows a way around that limit?  I just hit it and I seriously need my saves!  I save before conversations and judgments and such.  I NEED them! 

[Bugsie]

I've made a few pieces of furniture (including our current dining table) and I was looking at rocking horse plans the other day to see if I could make a griffon rocker... Oh man, this game has me hooked like I haven't been since ME2.

Okay, way too many things rattling around in my brain and there is Christmas still to organise LOL

[Sabreenei]

I heard you can back-up your saves to another location, and then switch them. Sort of like save batch 1 and save batch 2, and put the ones in the file that you want to open at that time.

 

BUT! I haven't actually heard if it works, or if it borks up the game in same manner. I've been going through trying to eliminate some non-essential saves right now. Eventually I'll probably try it, once I get into really playing another character. Then maybe i'll make a folder somewhere else for backed-up saves, and organize it by character or something.

[KealaFerret]

I have a folder of backed up saves. I have 200+ saves, and aim to have no more than 30 in my game folder itself. Works fine, I just copy some back when I need them.

[Mr.House]

Have at last gotten to to Blackwalls quest in my canon pt, poor Blackwall.

 

Spoiler

This was the first time she ever fell to her emotions instead of thinking logically, which she always does when she has to make hard choices(outside her Cully Wully, if she had she would have just cut ties with him in the prison or allow him to become a warden, but she could not.)She was already dealing with her guilt of letting Celene die and this was just more oil for her burning fire. Kinda sad to see her fall to raw emotion like that and poor Blackwall. They where such good friends, now they make Fenris and Anders look like bffs

[Bugsie]

You know, I haven't seen that one before Mr House. Is that

Spoiler

if judgement is servitude?

Yup, Blackwall has two cards like Bull does(plus the romance card) Which makes sense since both Bull and Blackwalls quest has you make a pretty big dam choice for their characters.

[Bugsie]

That's tragically cool.

yeah they're both pretty big choices. I contemplated reloading IB, but decided to stick with my original choices.

[veeia]

I mean - how he looks when you deside to give him new armor.

 

Made ya an album. Included all of the ones I have on this particular save, including some of the unique light + medium armors you can remove class restrictions from and give to him and its not just the same old armor.

Okay, I was able to do that before.  But there is no way to tell which save goes to which character.  At least not that I'm seeing?  Maybe I should just make a thread asking why there is a limit for PC to begin with?  There was none for the first two games 

 

And for OT:

I think I already saw several threads like this, sadly with no answers from Bioware. And we also can't rename them, which sucks. I had to remember "good old times" that I spent with save management for Mass Effect when I had to write down number of save and which scene follows it, because there was no other way to figure it out, except DAI saves don't even have a number. Though it was a bit easier for me since I play one character at a time, so after finishing one playthrough I just copypasted all saves to another folder, but when you play several characters simultaneously..I guess you'll just have to copy each save right after you create it. Ugh..things are complicated 

[Mr.House]

Welp finished my canon pt, was nice to see Kendra and Blackwall at last come to terms.

 

Spoiler

It's still sad and both sides do show they wish it didn't turn out like this but they where able to come to terms and semi patch up at the feast which was nice. She still wishes she could undo that choice and make him a warden, it's a choice that will haunt her for the rest of her life, same with letting Celene die. Oh me and my love for sadness
