Me! I'm hopefully getting a PS4 in October. We have a Mac so PC is not in my future. And I like playing on my TV anyway. Anyone else doing MP on PS4? I've never done any MP though. My son doesn't even consider me a real gamer. He's trying to convince me to try Destiny.

 

There will probably be some folks here playing on PS4 I'd imagine.

Don't worry atall about not having done MP, we have a few experienced MP players in this crew (although they may regret having admitted that lol) but it seems most of us are novice at best, so our whole point is just to experience the content and have loads of laughs

If you load up a game of any description and navigate around it in some fashion, you ARE a gamer

Just saw the "gameplay" trailer, meh. I call alchemist

UGH I need this game already

Inquisitor Question Time

 

How will your Inquisitor handle the moments when they have to judge the crimes of another? Will they be merciful or harsh? Will they have difficulty making such decisions or will it come easy for them? Will biases show where it comes to different races or cultures? Will it strong depend on the situation and the story behind the crime or will your Inquisitor take a more black and white view on the matter, where circumstances, backstories and mental states will not matter?

I'm assuming we won't be judging minor things like a pickpocket, first of all.

 

Zhenya won't have any problem with it in a general way, but everything would be dependent on the circumstances, what kind of harm they did, why, and what kind of options they give us for punishments. She's a lot more likely to be merciful for someone committing a crime from desperation than someone who was simply after power, for instance, and she's also going to be harsh with someone committing a violent crime against someone helpless, while she's likely to shrug off two nobles involved in the Game, even if one ends up dead (though circumstances would still matter). If the person seems useful and not a candidate to repeat the crime or betray us, she'll consider recruiting them when that's an option.

 

Trevelyan mage will be uncomfortable with it at first, probably inclined to mercy, but would also listen carefully to the reasoning of advisers and companions if they give opinions. She's less likely to consider recruiting people, not as pragmatic as Zhenya. She's most likely to be harsh on a noble committing a violent crime, and she'll initially be uneasy with mercenaries (i.e. qunari) and apostates (dalish). She'd see some shades of grey, though, with things like blood magic. (sorry, not very coherent development yet)

Hmm, while appearance has very little impact on me, voices do. Like I said, I'm a sucker for some voices. But a voice can be a complete turnoff as well - if Cullen's VO was whiny, I'd avoid talking to him at all costs. The only time I gave Leliana Shmooples (sp?) was when I romanced her because I hate the noise he makes in camp; I so wanted to smother him and give him to the dwarf for a snack.

But what about Leliana's feelings?! That's so heartless!!!!

Which is why I gave her Shmooples and didn't smother him. True love (and RPing) for you (she never got Shmooples at all on the other PTs because he'd drive me out of camp).

Well, to keep things in line with Mr. Lee's tweet:

Will it strong depend on the situation and the story behind the crime or will your Inquisitor take a more black and white view on the matter, where circumstances, backstories and mental states will not matter?

 

Skye: She will be mostly merciful. Her punishment is to make criminal to repent. She won't think punishments too hard though and might make some mistakes. She won't have lot of bias. I think her punishment will be situational. She will also hate punishing people.

 

Valpur: She will be between merciful and harsh. She will think of her decisions but they will come to her quite quickly. She's not very biased, though she might be less forgiving to nobles and other people who she don't like. Story behind crime affects little bit but she will mostly give black- and white judgements since she finds them most just.

 

Tamarin: He's more in harsher side than my other quizzys, wanting to solid his power and make some reputation with his judgements so that people know who is in charge. He won't go too overboard though. He might be biased about nobles and other people he'd rather be in good terms with.

 

Michal: He will be mostly merciful. He wants to be fair for everyone but he is biased though, as devouted Andrastian he's against blood mages, apostates etc. He might judge some races harshier as well, qunari for example. I think his judgings will be situational.

Since we're all going to lose the info if we don't keep it in one place, would it be a privacy liability of any sort to have a google doc spreadsheet with our forum names, platforms, and Origin IDs for MP organizational purposes? I started one but I don't know what, if anything, people can see if they know your Origin ID (achievements? e-mail address? hopefully none of the above?). Let me know and if there isn't I'll edit this post with the link.

 

 

DOUBLE EDIT: It seems that usernames and platforms only would be better than including Origin IDs, and that maybe Google Docs isn't the best venue for such a list since AFAIK there's no way to make it "add only" rather than fully editable, so someone could just wipe out the whole thing and make it useless. But it seems like it would be a good idea for us to have some separate place to put it so we're not all just listing our platforms here amidst the usual Cullen discussion.

Umm, perhaps let people PM you for the a link to see the spreadsheet. I don't know if we should have that info out in the open thread.

My question is, even although I feel we have been lucky and he is indeed very handsome, would any of you have turned away from his romance in DAI if his look had been, in your opinion, bad?

He is almost the stereotypical Knight in Shining Armour and I wonder if that has influenced anyone to romance him, taking priority over his character growth and story arc?

 

Nah. There was never any serious possibility that if Cullen finally got to be a romance possibility, he wouldn't be my first choice. I'm just too attached to him already. He was going to be the character I wanted most for the Inquisitor's love interest, regardless.

 

I'm more concerned about him still having his personality, because that's what I like about him: his ability to overcome major adversity and keep on going, his ability to stay relatively reasonable even when surrounded by zealots, and his inherent dignity and decency. If those things changed, I'd be pretty upset. (For the record, I don't think we have to worry about that. Everything his writer has ever said about him makes me confident she gets what makes him special.)

 

I'm not worried so much about how he looks, as long as he looked enough like himself to be identified as the same character. I'd actually be pretty displeased if they made him more visually attractive but I couldn't tell that he was supposed to be Cullen.  

 

Wanting to see what he looked like in the new game was mainly just curiosity, not making sure he was still hot. I'm happy with his looks but that was never a major concern.

Oh hai gaiz!!!  I've been skimming and trying to catch up for the last (looks at watch... its been a week?!?!  O.o )  I've been sunk so deep in finishing up my app that I have BSN open in one tab and take quick looks while Im getting a drink of shoving food in my mouth, and it's been heckacious to keep up with the Twitter thread.  (Deep breathes, one more month, deep breathes, one more month)

 

So, multiplayer!  I am actually excite.  I must say I won't offer to inflict myself on any of you guys.  I'm very sarcastic, and my sense of humor is... dry.  Dry and sarcastic.  I'm also very competitive... I don't make fun of people (even though that combo sounds like it might make for prepubescent ridiculing.  It's just rude!)  PC player here, if you want to get together on occasion.

 

As far as not romancing Cullen if he looked "bad".  I would say no.  I have playthroughs sort of planned out to romance everyone.  Yes I will probably be playing DAI until I die to make that happen, but happen it will!  I have to experience every little nuance.  I replayed Dragon Age 2 so many times so I could friend and rival romance all of the people (Seb included), and as all the different personality types.  I don't know what you would call it, I can put myself into any character so even if the person I want to romance isn't someone I would normally do, I can make myself be someone else to romance that character.  Kind of like acting, I suppose.  I find it a glorious way to connect with characters I might "dislike" otherwise.  I also find that when I am roleplaying a different personality, characters that I adored before I find myself at odds with.  

 

(Roleplaying.. that was what I was trying to think of.  Derp!)

Hmm, so I think actually both my inquisitors will react similarly? Both Auren and Kael I think are capable of making ruthless decisions. However, admittedly, Auren might prove to be soft on elves, as well as on those who look innocent (even if they act otherwise). Kael won't be so easily fooled. For that reason, I think Kael would be more easily swayed by an adviser's (hello, Cullen!) recommendation, especially if it is the sounder decision, BUT also because he might rely on advisers to see the human side of the situation, so to speak. Whereas Auren is more rigid and less likely to listen to the opinions of others; for example, if an adviser tried to convince him that letting go a demon in the shape of a child is dangerous, he's likely to just become even more rigid and refuse to listen.

I reckon the Dales are gonna be pretty interesting-- and pretty in general. Lovely screenshot is lovely~

Well, the armies involved in the OCW will be there.

[LadySatsuki]

I'll repost the characters:
Warrior: Reaver (female), Legionnaire (male dwarf), Katari (male qunari)
Mage: Keeper (Female dalish), Elementalist (based by the trailer, male), Necromancer and Mystic/Arcane Warrior
Rogue: alchemist (female dwarf), Archer (male human) and assassin.
Templar might be in based by the trailer.

 

Are these for the multiplayer or the main game? Because we know one of the class specializations for Rogue is Artificer, not Alchemist.

It is sort of an important bufferzone between the frostback trade routes into Orlais and the Empire proper so it makes sense.

 

Celene cannot allow Gaspard to dictate who enters Orlais or not and still claim to be in charge of it.

Your gorgeous Dalish quizzy makes me wonder about our vallaslin options. Looks like they may be quite different from Origins.

well before i make my character directly using creator in game, i came up with this "random" vallaslin to use it for her portrayal (:

probably her look will alter in the future drawings after i play the game.
