Ah, so that's your Aeducan in your profile pic? She looks tough!

 

I can't argue with your reasoning. It all makes total sense. I also thought the Dark Ritual seemed likely to unleash some other menace on the world, one we might have less idea of how to deal with. I wasn't willing to take that risk for the sake of saving my Warden's skin. It would've felt like dereliction of duty. I do wonder, though, what will happen when all the Old Gods are dead? As far as I know, there'll probably still be darkspawn, and they might well still be a threat to the Dwarves, even if they're not venturing aboveground. I guess we don't really know?

 

Thanks for the encouragement. Fair point that setting Thom free at least doesn't come at the cost of something dodgy-sounding like the Dark Ritual. Before I played Trespasser, though, and had only seen the trailer, I wondered if the Exalted Council would bring up my saving him from the noose as an example of the Inquisition blatantly abusing its power. I was prepared to say, "Well, he is a Grey Warden now, protecting people from darkspawn. Do you really think he'd be doing more good if he were dead?"

 

Incidentally, I've read that some LIs can be married in Trespasser, but not Thom. I understand the characters' writers may have felt that marriage made sense for some and not for others, but if it wasn't actually an option, why did Cassandra bring it up to my Inquisitor? She got my hopes up!

This comic is pretty popular on tumblr so most of you may have already seen it, but it's too poignant and touching to not share -- Blackwall romance post-Trespasser.

This isn't really a spoiler, but I guess you'd need the Trespasser DLC to obtain these armors in the main game sooo putting it in spoiler tags to be safe.

There are Griffon armor schematics that are obtainable in the game. Since I was redoing a playthrough anyway, I just recruited Blackwall, did the "Utilize the Grey Warden treaties" war table mission and got the purple version of Griffon Robes as a reward. I looked at the design and thought, wow, that's pretty close to Blackwall's gambeson style. Kinda like a "boyfriend jacket." =p Anyway, just thought this would be fun for roleplay if you were inclined to look at it that way. Here's an image from the wiki.

I don't remember ever getting that from that quest.  I will check the next time I play.  But I agree with you Gilsa.  Gonna have to give them a try on

[Bugsie]

oooh I don't recall getting that schematic gonna have to look out for it next time.

[Gilsa]

oooh I don't recall getting that schematic gonna have to look out for it next time.

 

Here's where you can find all three schematics (you can load up an earlier playthrough to get this done and just save to the Golden Nug):

 

Spoiler

Griffon Robes (light) - Complete the war table mission "Destroy Darkspawn Outbreak."

Griffon Mail (medium) - Complete "Contact Hero of Ferelden" on the war table.

Griffon Plate (heavy) - Complete war table mission "The Good Works of Ser Ruth" -- you need to be devout to pick the Divine forgiveness option.

 

Since all my Cadashes believe in the Stone or are agnostic (dwarves and Chantry just do not mix), I had to get the schematic from a shared save game, which you can obtain from this thread: https://www.reddit.c...e_with_griffin/

[Bugsie]

Thanks Gilsa, I am only just now doing a devout playthrough with my female Trev- so that's probably why!

[Scuttlebutt101]

Thanks for the armor info, Gilsa! All the more reason to finally roll a devout Quizzy.

 

Anyway, that Adaar/Blackwall gif from Trespasser that Bugsie posted a while back made me want to pick up my own Qunari girl again. Tall girl/tiny guy isn't normally my thing, but that kiss changed my mind 

 

I think they'll make a cute couple

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

And I'll just leave this here to admire his... cheekbones.

 

[Bugsie]

It's such a good kiss isn't it!!  I was pleasantly surprised by it after my qunari shrunk in the base game during the romance scenes!

 

Dem cheekbones... (you're qunari is pretty lovely too btw!)

[AtreiyaN7]

Whew - just finished playing Trespasser and am able to safely pop in at last. I was pretty happy with how things turned out with Blackwall and his story arc, especially since he and my mage Inquisitor were happily together in the end (yes - woohoo!). I also liked how they handled things with his name (almost did a double take the first time I got to Blackwall on the character inventory screen, heh).

[riverbanks]

Anyone else get the "Evidently the beard does not bother you as much as I feared" line after a round of repeated kisses?

 

I've just got it for the first time after romancing him with like three different Inquisitors, I didn't even know he could say that!   

[Bugsie]

Oh I definitely got that line. Not sure how many kisses he needed for it though, but I was happy to oblige!!

[Scuttlebutt101]

I think he says it after three kisses. There's also another line after a couple more 

[riverbanks]

Yup, I got it after three kisses. The cutscene was bugging, so I kept running it over and over trying to get a screencap... cracked me up good. I'll try going for even more kisses next time and see what he says next!

Hairy Body Mod

 

I write this in every male companion thread: New mod out - makes companions Body HAIRY (if you wish, if you like, whatever).

It's not my mod, I don't know if it will work for Blackwall. Have fun.

So am I the only one in here who was dumb enough to send a romanced Thom to the Wardens? I did always have some anxiety about it, so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised it didn't turn out well. Back in the day, when I was chatting with Mother Giselle and she mentioned that the original Inquisition "hung up their swords" or however she put it when their work was done, I thought maybe if the Inquisition disbanded in the end, my Inquisitor might go join the Wardens, too, and then they'd be together again. Of course I knew I couldn't assume that would be an option. I just hoped things would work out alright, one way or another.

 

Well, I may be dumb enough to have sent Thom to the Wardens, but I've verified that I was smart enough to keep a save right before Revelations! Tomorrow is my birthday, and I've got plans to make some apple crisp and commence Operation Save Thom Rainier from My Own Stupidity. I will earn my happy ending by replaying a ton of stuff.

 

I'm happy for all of you who made the right choice the first time around, and I'm glad a happy outcome is possible.

 

@riverbanks

 

I got that line and wondered if it were race-specific, since my Inquisitor is an elf, but it needn't be. I know that a lot of straight/bi human women out here in the real world prefer their fellas clean-shaven. So does he say it regardless of his lady's race?

 

Personally, I like the idea that my Lavellan finds his beard exotically intriguing.

I've only gotten that far with my elf, so not sure about other races. 

 

My elf was really weirded out by his beard at first. I imagine her having a whole inner monologue when she first saw him, like "CREATORS HAVE MERCY WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIS FACE oh right, it's that shemlen thing, growing hair in all the wrong places. But why does he have that much of it, is his face cold or something?! How does he even speak without getting a mouth full of hair? I'm scared."

She got used to it soon enough though, even started liking it. 

[Gilsa]

I've also gotten that line on my dwarf and one other line. The barn kisses were my favorite thing about the entire romance because the rest of the time, the animations for the dwarf/Blackwall can be painfully awkward to watch. The barn kiss is a beautiful moment and for my scarred up, non-eyebrow-plucking Cadash, she looks lovely in whatever light they're using so it makes me go "awww." I kept Dennet in Hinterlands so I liked to envision Blackwall feeding the War Nug in the stable for her.

I got that line on my elf too, but truly, the only reason I didn't get it on my previous rounds romancing the bear was because I never thought to kiss him more than once. Shameful! Had I know, I would've tired him out of smooching much sooner.

 

I like to think my Lavellan is weirded out by the beard at first too, but the first time Thom kisses her, her head goes "whoooooa that was different" and she likes it. Boy, does she like it. 

[Silent X]

Okay, so he's generally aware that not all women are into beards. Fair enough. But it's a little funny that that only comes up later. The first time he kisses the Inquisitor, he really goes for it. It would be funny if there were an interrupt option there where you could pull back and be like, "Whoa, sorry, give me a minute. So much beard." [pause] "Okay, continue."

 

For my Lavellan, it was less a hangup about his facial hair and more a hangup about his race initially. I saw her as wary of humans initially--she didn't hate them, but she wasn't used to being around them and was intensely uneasy at the beginning of the game. By the time she recruited him, she had become significantly more comfortable, but it was still a big leap to realize that she was developing romantic feelings for a human, and she had to wrestle with herself some before concluding that, yes, she really was falling in love with him, and yes, she was going to put herself out there and see if he might feel the same way. And if her people had a problem with it, that would be their problem, because she honestly didn't feel that what she was doing was wrong.

 

After her own soul-searching, she wasn't about to give up on him based on the flimsy excuses he presented. Her mind was made up.
 

[CredulousAlloy]

Ugh, I STILL haven't made it to Trespasser yet, and have now completely spoiled myself by watching someone else's playthrough. But I'm still going to continue and see my Quizzy and Blackwall's journey through to the end.

 

Today, Beardy was feeling quite co-operative and decided to pose for a few pictures. First, he concluded a pleasant afternoon of dragon slaying by doing this:
