Mage. And she's quite interesting in things outside, but still considers herself wholly Dalish and simply occupying the station of Inquisitor.

 

Okidoki then. Nothing wrong with that after all. But I hope you can also see where I went with the ideas for my character :)

Eh, I thought they were scumbags ever since the very beginning. (the dalish and the wardens I mean). People tend to put these groups on the pedestal, but I only see them for what they do and the things they believe. And in all honest, they are just jerks hiding behind good intentions.

 

It's easier to say that with the Wardens, because they have a very ends justifies the means attitude, and there's a long history of them doing awful things for the greater good. I would have been totally fine with how they were handled in Inquisition if they were handled better....imo, both them and the mages were given really flimsy justification for the things they did.

As for the Dalish...at least the wardens and mages have always been set up as something that could be good. All the games/books are basically big hammers hitting the Dalish, to the point now where it's like it feels like the devs are still going HA! YOU THINK THESE FOREST ELVES ARE SO NOBLE? LOOK AT THIS! and it's like..bro...we get it....can they be like, people....?

I can't even finish Weekes' book because his image of the dalish is so... biased and caricature that is unacceptable for such a highquality book. And frankly some DAI lore revelationsjust contradict previous lore. Where were these Seconds before? Did Lanaya lie when she said there was an actual competion for a First role? Were others mages kicked out by Zathrian and if so where is his Second?
DAI GW plot is a plain headscratch

I didn't mind the GW plot that much, since after all our Warden wasn't there to stop them from being stupid :P

But yeah this whole Second thing is weird too. And I only read it up, never had it mentioned in the game yet, not even by mage Lavellan, who should mention it above all if you ask me.

Perhaps each Dalish clan does things different

That...is actually something I kinda forgot to consider. It is mentioned that clans can be rather different. Isn't there actually a Dalish TOWN somewhere in Antiva for example?

And then there's the fact that the Lavellan Clan was interested enough in human matters to trade with them and send someone to spy on the conclave, that's rather different from, let's say, the Saebre Clan.

And Solas also mentions some that have gone so far into the woods that none have contact with them.

Stupid indeed
GW: Oh look the Calling suddenly hits us all, a giant hole in the sky appears spewing demons and some nice tevinter gentleman conveniently arrives out of nowhere to offer a blood magic ritial which will kill half of us and make the other half possessed by demons WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

The problem is Solas treats it like a default system and we can't even properly argue with him. I mean, I know Weekes wrote him, but still... maybe mr.Weekes hates forest, and elves, and forest elves

(Man Solas is really good at making you feel like a special snowflake. He told my dwarf she wasn't like the other dwarfs blah blah. I wonder what he says to a qunari. :lol:

Pretty much the same thing. He really wants you to feel like a "cool girl8-feet-tall horned creature."

I'm in a funny mood, so let me try to conjure up some of the old spirit of this thread.... ;)

 

Warning! Nothing explicit, implied naughtiness only. The author does not take responsibility for what your filthy minds create for yourselves :P

So without further ado, here's another episode of Strange-enough-normal, the Sera and Enna story

Spoiler

 

Did I do it right? :D

I haven't even advanced the main plot past getting Skyhold, by the way. All this talk of how difficult a romance with an Elf was made me think that it would take longer...

I'm quite fine hoarding my dragon slayer away from everyone else, thank you very much :P

As a qunari he basically says Qunari are savage people only kept in line from their impulses by the Qun. My fiance's character was best buds with him but just said "uh, no, you are wrong"

Each Dalish clan most certainly does things differently. Its been mentioned before that part of the problem with the wandering Dalish is that the longer they are apart the more different they become from each other. Case in point, the Inquisitors' clan is mentioned to care for all races, which makes them seem much less insular than other clans.

That is what the Qun has taught him. Theres quite a bit of brainwashing involved with the Qun.

Yeah I had one or two "slightly disapproves" along the way. Makes me think that poor Danielle definitely had a bugged game. :(

You can flirt a bit, but the cool romance stuff doesn't happen till Skyhold.

I didn't have any chemistry with her with my dwarf, but my dwarf was super optimistic and dopey. I used AWRs voice. So I think it's the personality you give them!

No the chemistry I need is with my charachter....

 

I dont know how to explain it..but the reply we get to choose and the one we pick is what shape who ya are . Sure ya can branche at anytime..but when ya play as a someone who is always angry..ya tend to always pick the reply that make ya bark . and if ya play like a carefree person..then ya pick answers that make ya sound like one . 

 

The thing..I cant decide who gonna be that . 

 

I tried making an elf..and she end up looking like Bieber  :lol:

 

I already know my Human will be religious zealot...so sera wont romance that . 

 

HUm..maybe I try a dwarf ??
