I haven't managed to reunite them in my playthroughs so far. 1st one Celene rules alone, Second one I got them all together.  They get the joy of a hung parliment.  Serves them all right.  Next pt Gaspard will rule alone.  Stoopid Orlesians.

 

@KS - enjoy Mass Effect - it's what bought me to Bioware games and eventually to Dragon Age! 

 

For the record, Vanguard is super fun.  It's like being a battle mage, you get biotics (magic), but also guns (swords!)  Also don't overlook the backgrounds - spacer/colony born/earth born military history war hero/sole survivor/ruthless makes for good rp background stories. 

 

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it. My download's at 59% right now, so I won't play until tomorrow night.

Celene ruled alone in my first game. I misunderstood and thought I wasn't supposed to show my hand when talking to them so the option for all three to work together never came up. I didn't let her execute Gaspard because they were all just as underhanded and vile. No reason to single him out.

Had Gaspard rule in the second game. Told Briala he was going to rule unopposed and then he told her she was going to be executed. I didn't see an option to save her like I did previously with Gaspard. Whoops. Sorry, Bri. King Alistair was exasperated on the war table about Gaspard and I found Gaspard to be more rewarding overall in the war table and epilogue and what not.

If I didn't have to deal with the unpleasantness of letting Celene die, I'd probably prefer Gaspard in most of my games.

I have no preference for how it ends up tbh, I think the Masked Empire ruined it for me. Not because it was bad, but because I felt like it was way more nuanced and nothing in the game really interests me besides laughing at the idea of my dirtbag dwarf char somehow ending up puppetmaster of Orlais, so I guess that one is my preferred one.

I still like that I went from being called someone's pet to owning the bloody empress.

Oh I see I'm not the only one thinking that there's some wasted potential in WEWH.

 

As for many other things in DA:I there's gorgeous character and story writing on one side and a not-so-gorgeous technical staff to realise it on the other side

 

DLC coming!!! OMG! I'm so happy and so scared, will Blackwall be totally ignored? Will it be set after the ending of it's just a collateral story? Will we have the satisfaction to see the aftermath of our actions right after the defeat of Coryfish? Will we have barechest Blackwall and nug racing? Will we see Cassandra reconcile with him and maybe even apologize to him?

I'm excited to hear about the DLC! Can't wait to see what it entails.

 

In celebration, have some Sketchwall:

 

Probably NSFW because upper-body nudity?

Spoiler

 

Note that the bod is heavily referenced, if I decide to post it on my blog/devart or whatever I'll be sure to credit. This just needed to be done.

[Sabreenei]

Lots of things I missed! So much catching up on the thread to do! I like the idea of Sigrun/Velena. Though I always paired Sigrun with Nate in my stories, and Velanna ended up Cera (the elf ambassador from the circle, who sold runes/enchantments/etc). There was just something I liked about Sigrun and Nate together. Sigrun was an absolute fav, I'd love if she came back. Wishful thinking, me

 

I'm glad they're doing DLC, but I'll reserve my opinion until we learn more about it. I'd like a little perk package first. Some hairstyles and a mirror! And hey, I'd even buy a little add-on if they sold us a hug package, so I could go around hugging my companions

 

I haven't been able to play the game for ten days! So I'm getting a break from it that I didn't want. I guess it'll stave off burnout.

 

@captivatingKS - I'm exciting for you to play Mass Effect! I love those games.

 

WHWE gets so long. I feel like they could've made it more interesting in some way. I don't mind searching and picking up clues, etc., but I feel like it needed more. I've fought Florianne, and had her arrested. I like getting to be catty with the lines when you arrest her. But I've only ever put Celene on the throne, usually quite indebted to me. I need to try for some other outcomes!

[Bugsie]

I can't even begin with how this http://www.glassgiant.com/romance/ made me cackle so hard I've been crying (with laughter) every time I even think about it.  Then I think about my life choices and I cry, for realz.

Hey, that's  C.A.P.C.F. Pentaghast!

 

Throne room introductions were brilliant. "blah blah Leliana, Nightingale of the Imperial Court, Mistress of the Queen of Ferelden". Smooth... These Orlesians have no shame! I can see Bahn Teagan seething (or whoever is Fereldan ambassador).

 

I also felt that OCW was not given enough justice. If you did not read the book, you have no idea about key figures of Orlais. Which is kind of important country in Thedas, you know. But we can jump, yay.

 

Then again, maybe it does not matter who becomes the Emperor, like in previous similar choices. If it does not influence political future of these countries, then your character's moral compass is the only reason to make a decision.

[Ashelsu]

He looks very smug.

 

It took me three playthroughs to find Celine in the Arbor Wilds. How could I miss her in her grand ball gawn standing in the middle of the forest? And you can even talk to her! Ouch.

 

I wonder, is this Cassandra's book or something else that made everybody so upset?

He does indeed

 

Perhaps Cassandra wanted to read a paragraph and everybody is like 'Oh no please don't!" and Varric is half amused half embarrassed xD

[Ashelsu]

I tried CE banter fix, and it works! And I got interactive Inqy's banter first time in three playthroughs! I could defend Sera from Vivienne, huzzah! And Varric can talk not only in the cutscenes. Mindblowing.

 

I really hope Bioware will do something with this sodding bug, because console players can't have this fix and every future forced EA patch is going to create difficulties for people on PC. Shame it's the only way to really appreciate the hard work of writers and voice actors, Love to all talented people working on mods, including this one.

[alialias]

I'm so excited to hear the banter mod works! So awesome.

 

I'm on my first playthrough of DA:O Awakening.  I love Sigrun so far, I have not recruited Velena yet.  I was kind of sullen Alistair wasn't in the game but I'm over it since the characters are so great.  I also downloaded a mod to put him in the corner and I can kiss him whenever I feel like it, lol.

 

Back to Beardy, Bugsie I love those romance covers.   Sooooo great!  and veeia I almost spit out my water when I saw your redo of the formal wear.  Amazing! 

 

I'm obsessed with trying to figure out what the DLCs & future content will be about... I found a back-up copy of Gaider's blog and I'm reading through it.  I'm not sure how I managed to play and love DA:O when it first came out and then completely forget about it until what just last November.  I guess kids will do that to your attention span, though.  I'm having a lot of fun with the new to me content, though!

[Cypher0020]

Well I finally began my elf rogue Blackwallmance PT LOL

 

I was gonna pair er wit Solas, but I'll save him for my mage, then Sera....but their personalites clash......then Cullen.....but he was with my 1st elf mage

 

Then............ I gave into the lure of the beard!

 

He's freakin sweet when you try to flirt too

Finally got a chance to read and post!  *cheers*

 

@Ashelsu: What is OCW? 

 

I also started a new pt.  My archer rogue (big suprise there...not!). Named her Kaia

Spoiler

Kaia \kaia\ as a girl's name is of Hawaiian, Japanese, Zulu, Turkish, Hopi and Hindi origin, and the meaning of Kaia is "restful place, yew tree, forgiveness; home; stone; willow, wise child; the one with the beautiful body, profile". Kaia is a variant of Kaya (Japanese, Zulu, Turkish, Hopi, Hindi).

Because I want to be Blackwalls restful place/forgiveness/home. I'll be going to pick him up tonight probably so hopefully I'll have ss of them being ever so cute!

 

@Bugsie:  I love the books covers!

 

I'm tempted to get the banter fix thing.  But I'm lazy and don't want to have to keep fixing it after patches/dlcs. 

[Joe25]

YES.  I want to watch my Lavellan dip Blackwall on the dance floor.

Spoiler

The only thing I want to dip Blackwall in is Antivan chocolate, but dancing is nice to.

[Ashelsu]

OCW - Orlesian Civil War. I was lazy.

 

I just finished du Lion, killing all the dragons. Only the last one put up a fight, my squishy rogues died twice. I even had to use Vivienne focus ability.

Now only Hissing Wastes and final battle. I think I'm ready for the nigtmare difficulty. Now to decide who to choose... I have two mages in nearest plans, qunari and human. From one hand, Knight-Enchanter suits human better, but I've just played as Trevelyan (and failed her table mission, apparentely).

What suits better for qunari, necromancer? But I don't like necromancers. Hmm, maybe she is Andrastian. Decisions, decisions...

Question. Did anybody met any female qunari in the game? Any at all?

[Kaidan Fan]

Ah!  Okay.  I have 2 play throughs were the 3 of them work together.  One where Gaspard rules alone.  One where Celene rules alone.  I tried to get Celene and Briala reunited but I did something wrong.  So I'll do that in the future at some point.  I don't like them together, but I need all combinations cuz that's how I am!

 

I don't recall seeing any female qunari.  I haven't played one yet and when I do I don't know if I'll make her mage or not.  Maybe I will and then I'll romance Bull so he can be all up in arms cuz I'm a mage *snicker*  He probably doesn't comment on it though

 

I'm going to start up DA:I after dinner and go get me some Blackwall goodness!

[wistful81]

I think after 5 playthroughs, I'm getting burned out by DA:I. I'm going to finish off Corypheus tonight (hopefully) and download Mass Effect - which I've never played.

 

At least I'll finish my Blackwall romance, though I know I'm abandoning my Sera romance.

I envy you!! To play Mass Effect for the first time!! I'm actually wanting to run another playthrough of the trilogy. Going to wait till I get it for PC so I can mod the heck out of it though.

[Ashelsu]

There were rumours about Remastered Trilogy with all DLC and improved graphics. They'll probably remake it for new gen consoles before ME Next.

 

@Kaidan Fan

Ha, I have similar thoughts.

I actually just started a new Shepard 2 nights ago.  Last night I finished Eden Prime.  Look out, Kaidan! Here I come again!

 

Also, look at this sad face.  Who could be mean to this baby?  Not me!

I'm tempted to ask for pics of Shepards, but that would totally derail this thread and probably get a slap on the hand from a mod. =p

I could hug you right now. You're so sweet.
