Conscripted mages, Celene in power.  Never had Briala as the string puller.  Sometimes I had Gaspard executed.  Sometimes exiled.

 

I only ever had Viv as a war table mission once - the one time I was specifically trying to put her on the throne.  The last game where I romanced Dorian, I was actively trying to get  a softened Leliana as Divine and got Viv because of the conscription/Celene thing, I believe.  I had no war table mission for any of the candidates!  I'm actually thinking this game is going to have Cass as Divine even though I want Leliana.  I'm getting near the end (next main is Arbor Wilds).

 

I should add that I want softened Leliana because that is the only Divine permutation that I have not had the chance to experience.  I've already had hardened Leliana and Cass.

 

Huh, conscripted mages and Celene in power resulted in Viv with no war table mission... that's interesting. Good luck on your current PT, I'm now curious what you'll end up with

All I have for you is more screenies. I'm just loving closed-eyes casting Dorian ("...you find joy in it...")

How do people get these images? Is this PC screenshot voodoo at work, here? 

 

And the subject matter is joyful, indeed.

I thought I'd indulge myself and put down the whole quote/banter:

 

Blackwall: It's interesting watching you Dorian, the way you carry yourself when you use magic...

Dorian: I am very good at the whole magic thing.

B: No, it's not that. You find joy in it--not shame--and it shows.

D: Why be ashamed? Power should be respected, not swept under the carpet.

B: Something we Southerners need to learn perhaps?

D: <laughs> Maybe you're not a complete moron

B: we were having a moment, now you've ruined it.

Umm, I think Bioware just teased the a trailer for the first story DLC will be coming tomorrow. On twitter.

About damn time says I. Although I would've preferred something a bit more story/mechanics/companion related and not another 'adventure,' but we'll see. Why does Hakkon sound familiar though?

He's one of the Avvar gods.

From wiki: "Hakkon is the Korth's firstborn son, and Lord of Winter. He is master of the two bitter colds of frost and steel, and respect for him and his power leads the Avvars to follow him into battle: they prefer to raid and wage war in winter, when their resistance to the cold gives them the advantage over lowlanders."

I agree, but at the same time I hope any major story DLC isn't gated to just some systems first. That would be REALLY frustrating.

That would suck if it went to one platform exclusively over the others.  I mean that would be downright cruel.  It's bad enough that PC users can mod and the color of the skyhold jammies while I am stuck blending into the walls like a beige ninja.. I want to change the color of my skyhold jammies!

And now it's been confirmed that the DLC will be released tomorrow as well, not just the trailer. Well, for PC and Xbox One that is.

 

I'm super excited for some DLC, but I hate this new deal between Microsoft and EA. I remember reading somewhere that future DLC will always come 30 days earlier for PC and Xbox One. I'm on PS4, how am I supposed to stay away from spoilers for 30 days? It's not fair...

There are camera mods you can drop in game that give you a great deal more control.  Essentially you hit pause in the middle of the action, maneuver the camera around and see if you've got something worth capturing, play with the field of view (for that slight fish eye effect with blurred background), take the screen shot.

In the case of someone like danaduchy, the screenshot is run through a photo-Editor and color adjusted and filtered to reduce red tones and add photo-realistic depth.  Or added grain and age.  Hope that helps.

If anyone is worried that Dorian won't have dialogue or anything in the DLC due to David Gaider leaving, I'm preeeety sure that the writing for the DLC was completed way before he left.

 

They have to have time to do all the cinematics and VA, so I'm sure that they have been working on this thing for quite some time. 

[trevelyan_shep]

Well, I hope they will release the DLC for other consoles sooner rather than later. >.> Kind of blows, tbh. 

[Hothouse Orchid]

Me too. But fortunately I don't think there's actually been any confirmations about how this deal will work. I tried to look it up right now and see if I could find where I read about it first, but I can't find anything. It could very well have been false information, so I guess there might still be hope for us PS4 players in the future

Dorian: (mimicking the Inquisitor) "Dorian! Let's go search for an artifact of something called the Lord of Winter!" I don't know Amatus, it sounds like it would be intolerably cold there. "Oh I'm sure it won't be that bad!" (grumbles)

Inquisitor: Is my poor hothouse orchid going to freeze?

Dorian: I hate you.

Inquisitor: (smiles) No you don't.

At least you don't play Destiny. That DLC you bought on Xbox One? 1/3 of the content and a bunch of weapons aren't available until a year after release because of our deal with Sony, and the DLC costs the same as the PS4 version. Timed exclusives do nothing but annoy and anger customers. Most people with sense will just wait instead of shelling out $400 for another console/PC.

Oh that's bad. I don't get this time exclusive business, is it really that profitable? Like you said most people will just wait, and I don't think getting some dlc earlier is any deal breaker to buy a specific console/pc for those who don't have one yet. The gaming industry nowadays is seriously embarrassing. Just look at all the remakes, HD-editions and pre-order exclusives that our current generation seem to be all about. Sigh.

 

Anyway, end of rant. I like your little dialogue between the IQ and Dorian. When I first saw the dlc, Dorian complaining about the cold was the first thing that came to my mind. Well I'm bringing him whether he likes it or not! 

[Hazegurl]

This DLC is now motivating me to actually finish this current playthrough. lol! 

 

Sadly I hear none of the mods work now. And I was just working on modding Dorian a nose ring. Seems pointless now.

I am all for potentially false hope!
 
So, I decided to put my fem Quenari on the back burner and skip ahead to my Elf I wanted to make for Dorian. I'm fairly happy how he turned out though I think I spent an hour doing his nose alone! >< Spoliered due to size.

I feel like the only thing timed exclusives do is alienate players on other consoles.  Why am I being punished for choosing a PS4?  At the time I didn't want to get an XBox with that stupid camera thingy they added to the system as nothing more than a cash grab.  I still paid $60 (wait that's a lie I got DAI on sale for $45) for your game.  What about the people who pre-ordered and had to wait through bug fixes to make the game playable?  Now you are making them wait for DLC because you made a deal with one of the console makers? And Xbox 360 people don't get the DLC early either.  Way to abandon old gen players there, Microsoft.  It sucks.

I did/do play Destiny on PS4, so in that regard, I didn't mind timed exclusives. Of course not, who wouldn't? Hawkmoon and Monte Carlo.   

More Destiny talk.

Spoiler

 
The worst part of that deal isn't even about weapons. The thing that really stinks is when they make strikes/missions exclusives. Like The Undying Mind strike. It's the best strike of the game, but a big chunk of players have to wait a very long time to even try it. 
 
But with DAI, waa. I feel the pain, but even more so, because it's story content we're missing out on, which is something Destiny doesn't actually have. (Destiny. Story. Hahaha.)

 
Back on topic... I was hoping to finish up, or at least get close to finishing up, my m!Adaar/Dorian playthrough last night, but didn't get to. That DAI patch was 1.6GB on PS4, which is murder on my crappy net connection. I started the download right when I got home from work around 5, and it was still going when I went to bed, after midnight. I just wanted some Dorian.

Aww man that sucks I was annoyed the original estimate said it would take 30 minutes (it took less). But a more than 6 hour download for 1.6GB? >< I feel the pain for you on that one

Well, what I didn't realize or think about was that my husband's PS4 was also busy downloading the patch at the same time.
