It just struck me...

 

We do not know the Elven word for "Have", do we?

Such a basic thing, ugh.

[introverted_assassin]

i completely forgot what name I was going to give my Lavellan. Being the genius I am, I never wrote it down so I settled on Neriya. One day, i'll find a way to link a pic of all my characters.

[Ero_the_Great]

I very much doubt they got it from "arts". The lines of her liking qunari were already there i think. Only Lukas can confirm this though.

 

I just find it a very curious coincidence. But then again it might just have been tumblr being tumblr and Bioware actually having the keen ability to forsee their reaction.

 

 

Which reminds me, I still find it funny that they get riled up that our party members are transphobic, bigots and all the like when the whole setting is full with people like that. Surprise surprise.

There likely isn't one. Have is a word used for ownership, and Elves didn't "own" anything. They were a people of shared wealth, what one person held, everyone held. No poor or rich.

Or so the Dalish claim. It's pretty obvious they have a rather wrong view on their history too.

Yeah, but I wanted to form the sentence of...

 

"Have no sorrow, friend."

And, well...

"Banal Abelas, Falon."

I miss have, or similar verb.

 I'd imagine that some future game set in the north will be much more Qunari-centric.

Hmm. So far the games have been Ferelden, a corner of Ferelden, a Ferelden very slighlty North of Ferelden, and Ferelden and Orlais. I want to see the world and all but they seem weirldy attached to Ferelden.

I want to see and hear more of Thedas, such as where the Qunari came from, what's beyond wha'ts already know.

I mainly call it being easy to pull off the cameos there. But after Inquisition I don't see a reason for cameos from past games anyway all things considered.

 

But I'm glad that we got some nice little tidbits on Nevarra now through Cassandra and some non-outsider view on Tevinter from Dorian.

Don't forget the stuff about Antiva as well (especially if you romance Josephine).

Speaking of that: you just know the Grand Necropolis is a disaster waiting to happen. They can't have an entire city of undead and not use that as a plot device at some point. I think I'd like to explore Nevarra in a future game. Or Tevinter. Or Par-Vollen. Or get a closer look at Orlais. Basically anywhere but Ferelden at this point.

[Ero_the_Great]

True. But Antiva honestly doesn't interest me as much. Nevarra is also a bit more special just because of how they deal with the dead compared to the rest of the Andrastian countries.

 

@Basement Cat: Yeah, the Necropolis already gives me the the creeps alright after seeing what a few dead bodies could do in Crestwood.

Actually, one other reason I feel a bit bad about romancing Sera as an elf is that she's clearly more physically into qunari... so I'll most likely romance her as one of those.

I actually like romancing her as an elf because of that. Love overcomes the.. lack of physical temptation? Or what have you

 

Do any other romances have responses to your race? I think IB does "I'll break ya" or something.

Inquisitor here to vent, uh.. sing the Seranade:

 

Short version:
Love Sera's character and her relationship sync'd with my Inquisitor perfectly

 

Long version in Spoiler tags for people who haven't played it yet:

Spoiler

I didn't directly plan on romancing Sera. Romance was always an optional thing. All I did was to check on the internet what options do I have for romances. Then I interact with those characters and see if my inquisitor starts to like them.

Sera is a very funny, vocal, outgoing character. She's also very caring. A bit young and naive, but she's trying her best and with the Inquisitor's help she'll get it right. I love even the simple thing that Sera talks in such a different way than any other character.

Inquisitor became very interested in Sera. They had great times together on and off quests, and it became obvious that they couldn't stay away from each other for long.

Love the way Sera expresses her feelings a lot more physically instead of boring old words. Poetry reading is all good and nice, but being jumped by Sera is way more fun

The gift was simply amazing. Very thoughtful of Sera. And then seeing Sera's reaction to my gift was hilarious.
"Wait what? You went and told everyone that we are lovers? I can imagine the look on Vivienne's face. That's the best gift ever."

Loved the way Sera and Inquisitor finally admitted their love for each other. Sera doing her tantrum about her nightmare. Inquisitor pointing out that it's just a stupid dream, and then focusing on the fact that Sera used a lot of "love" in her dialogue:

 

"I know you're not big on words, but that's a lot of love you just let slip."

"Well, thanks for pointing out the thing I really want."

"It's because I love you that the rest of the world is gonna have to watch out."

And Sera's wonderful reaction: That look in her eye as she proceeds to tackle the Inquisitor. No need for words

Nothing is going to come between those two

Although, since this is a Bioware game, I really like to explore the different options in dialogue. I talk with Sera. Save game. Go back to a save before the conversation and try out all the other options. Bioware always puts so much great stuff into them. And I just gotta see / hear them all.

One such option I really love and hate at the same time: Breaking up with Sera (This was after the Temple of Mythal).

 

Arguing about the elves and their gods. Finally the Inquisitor ends the relationship and walks away. Sera is left standing on her own and her character changes for just that one moment. Her usual happy going wildness comes to a complete standstill and her voice goes very soft and silent uttering only one word: "F*ck".

It really hurt to see Sera like that.
Just that brief moment was so sad, and yet so amazing I wish I could give all the Bioware people an Oscar (or something) for that excellent animation and voice acting.

I'm sorry for doing that to you Sera. But blame BW for putting that into the game. I love that these options exists, but them feels.

And that is my Inquisitor's feelings about Sera. Trying to put her feelings into words, but yeah, she does action much better than words

Eh. It just feels to me like she'd always be just slightly less satisfied than she could be.

[Knight of Dane]

If you love a person you don't care so much. at least that's been my take in my relationships.

There's already been plenty of undead in the games. Redcliffe in Origins comes to mind. We've had werewolves too. I guess blood mages count as vampires. Inquisition offers some Lovecraftian horror with certain demon designs too. (looking at you, fear demon!) The Blight covers the wasteful/deforming disease slot. 

 

What kind of horror has not yet been unleashed upon Thedas? Sea monsters? Aliens? 

 

Which would freak out Sera the most? Mmh...

When is someone ever truly satisfied with the person they love?

I'd like to hit up Scarlett Johanson too, but I still love my girlfriend even though she ain't a bit like her.

Regarding a particular war table assignment:

Spoiler

so there's an assignment to basically reimburse Redcliffe if you take the mages as either allies or conscripts. The level of bitchassedness in that is irking me. See this is exactly why I don't cape for Alistair being King. Cause that letter ended with "I trust the Crown will not need to be involved" or something other. A thinly veiled threat. Arl Teagan you made me yell at my tv last night. I solved YOUR problem...you know when you hightailed it out of Redcliffe and left YOUR people to deal with Tevinter mages alone to go whine to Alistair and Anora for help and you send me a gotdamn bill? When my people technically died and were tortured to get your "seems to draw conflict all the time" ass town straight?!? Bitchassedness. That really irritated me and I'm totally not doing that one at all if I can help it. Or taking the nastiest option I can.
