I wonder how the end game thing is gonna work? The devs said we could continue playing after the main story is over and the big bad is slayed etc, but I wonder if it'll be like Skyrim where it was like "BOOM! Ok, you've killed the bad guy, off you go with your bad self to do other random stuff", or if we'll get the ending credits and then once they've finished it'll take you back to your game to continue on post-battle.

 

I'm hoping it's the latter, I prefer having the big showdown, watching those final epic scenes play out and then the credits role with the atmospheric music whilst you bask in the afterglow for a bit.

 

I'd prefer the latter too, because the former was my biggest issue maintaining interest in Skyrim after finishing the main quest. I did clock in about 3,000 hours before I finally tackled the main quest, which is insane, but once that was done I was like... okay? That's it? Now what, I just go back to running around stealing underpants and getting attacked by mudcrabs? The quest iself felt epic, but there was zero payoff, and no change in the world to reflect that you just saved it from destruction.

 

So my hope is that DA:I won't just go "quest completed" and call it a day, but will at least give us a proper ending to the main quest so we can get a feeling of closure on the main threat. Maybe a cinematic ending and epilogue/credits roll, and then let us wander if we choose to, but knowing that that chapter is closed and our job is done.

I like to write some of my stories with the info that we have and modify them as we get new info. It's pretty fun!

Agreed. It's not like my characters are set in Stone. I'm pretty flexible in changing based on new info, and the what happens in the game.

They've updated the PvE event schedule for HoDA and it looks like there will be two more chances to get Cullen:

Sunday, September 7
6PM to 10PM PDT - Map 4 - Red Lyrium Meredith (small chance for Knight-Captain Cullen)

Monday, September 8
10AM to 2PM PDT - Map 4 - Red Lyrium Meredith (small chance for Knight-Captain Cullen)

Here's the calendar that shows other time zones. Anyone had any luck yet?

 

Thanks for the update! I still haven't got Noodles, so two more chances to try is better than nothing.

 

I did get more Orsinos and Corypheusi than I know what do with though, so at least I'm well equipped for the current PVP... AND I got Fenris completely out of nowhere and that pretty much made my week, so this event was not for naught! Still want my Noodles tho.

Lol, yep that's where I found it! This is funny too...it seems laughter is the best medicine   This funny art is created by Zenat!

Everyone has such awesome backstories and ideas about their Inquisitors, they seem more and more like real people, flaws and all. Off the bat are any of your main ones pure self-inserts or do you just take bits and pieces of your own personality? or do you avoid any similarities atall?

 

 

meanwhile, Silly Saturday #101 - The RL DAI npc crew back around the table:

 

Cullen - "72 days to go guys, everyone is almost ready to rock, mages, ex-templars, demons, soldiers, nugs and fennecs have all reported in"

Cass - " Oh maker, there are so many people going to die.....I think knowing about it makes it so much worse"

Blackwall - "They are pixels Cass, never worry, it'll look messy and bad but remember they won't actually feel anything"

Solas - "Are the pyro-technicians prepared?, I've been teaching them a few special effects"

Sera - " Seems so, I've been seeing green sh!t booms for days now"

Dorian - "You sure that wasn't your latest concoction of alcohol Sera?"

Varric - "I think I'm going to burst if I can't talk about all the stuff I know...do you realise how hard this is for me?, I just don't know if I can hold out"

Josie - "Varric.....you signed an NDA...don't you dare, you'll give away spoilers, devs will get mad and there will be no DA4 for you!"

IB - "You lot need to chillax, stressing and b!tching about it isn't going to change anything or make it come any quicker you know"

Leliana - "Psht Bull, it's easy for you to say, I've read my script and watched the trailer, they send me to freakin Redcliffe.....I know...sucks to be me huh?"

 

This is perfection in a brief box, hehe.

So since I'm sick I have only really been lurking and looking for some things to bring a smile to my face or laugh...laughing hurts but eh whatever. However, I did find this!

If you're going to repost someone's art, you really need to include, at a minimum, the artist, and ideally a link to their work. They put in an awful lot of effort to create free art for us... it's the least we can do to honor them.

Not having played Skyrim, I think I'm not seeing the difference between these two. Do you mean, you never got the credits rolling in Skyrim after finishing the main campaign...? The latter scenario sounds like what we got with DA2, which was nice to get that finished feeling but also felt odd that I was hanging out in my mansion... knowing that Varric had just been interrogating me there in an alternate timeline. But then... I guess it will always feel weird if they let you continue after the main campaign.

me neither :C and i also got a lot of orsinos, arishoks, and silver rarity qunaris. tho i had luck today, and got caradin in the first win ;u; but yup, still no noodles, even if i want him so bad.

 

replaying dao with mage origin this time ;u; these are the little things that make me all giggly and happy ;u; (also the cullen kissing mod!)

 

 

soon my love, soon we will be united ;u;

My bad, I have only posted my own characters and a few videos before posting these pieces; it shall not happen again

No worries. It's just too easy in these days of Google Images for artists to get separated from their art, so it's something for us all to be cognizant of. But we support Champions and Heroes!

Oh yeah I understand, I sometimes get a little carried away or into the spur of the moment so I post things as quickly as I can. I'm just glad you pointed this out or reminded my foggy brain to give credit to whom it is due. So thanks! If I may ask how do you think the romances in DAI will end, I know they said no marriage...so there is not going to be a Warden King or Warden Queen, but I really hope that they make the romance arcs end in a way that it implies they are still going strong.

[phyreblade74]

I don't know if I'm odd but I don't have really problems with giving flaws to my characters. All my Wardens are pretty unlikeable now that I think, Raven was just aggressive, rude and impatient and cheated Morrigan with Leliana. Wuther was coward which made him to do lot of mistakes. Catherine was just overall lazy, uncaring and selfish. I wouldn't describe any of them as hero but somehow they got job done lol XD

 

What I have planned as current flaws for my Inquisitor wouldn't be as big as those but:

 

Skye: Oblivious, too trusting, over-optimistic.

Valpur: Doesn't trust people easily, tends to keep things to herself, has hard time to convey emotions.

Tamarin: Selfish, power-hungry, narcistic, insecure, has hard time to trust people.

Michal: Spoiled, prejudiced, messiah-complex, intolerant, very religious.

 

Lol they sound horrible when I just point out all their flaws XD Should be fun though!

 

EDIT: Oh, got top!

Oh, I am so into making flawed heroes in my RPG gameplay.  It's where I start in my character creation, even.  I think it makes them "more" than a 2-dimensional flat-stanley of a figure, with no real personality worth interest or note.  My Warden was my most noble DA creation, very diplomatic with a decided leaning towards doing her very best for every person she came across.  But she had such a singular focus on her  perceived obligation as a leader in her country, that she often put her own needs off to the side.  She simply didn't DEAL with her own stress level and nearly collapsed more often than not from sheer, unmitigated strain.

 

My Hawke, on the other hand, was aggressive and blunt.  I figured that the eldest of his siblings means he'd long since set aside diplomacy in favor of getting the dang job done as quickly and abruptly as he possibly could.  He had no patience for intransience, for those who dragged their feet trying to talk their way out of a problem.  It was funny, to me, that he was a mage.  He actually resented his magic, even.  He felt bitter against fate itself, like he was unfairly obliged to take care of everyone else all the time.

 

I've tossed around various ideas for flaws in creating my Inquisitor, and I finally settled on the notion she's cute.  Sounds funny, I suppose.  But she is just plain cute, joking quite often.  Thing is, she doesn't perceive herself as anything exceptional, so that everyone looking to her for guidance confounds her.  She feels like an imposter alot of the time, as if everyone should be looking towards the more serious members of the group, firstly.  Not her, why her and when is it going to become obvious that the wrong person is wearing the title "Inquisitor".

 

I really want to make this girl come to life!

Skyrim never had credits roll. After the final main quest, you get a pretty cool cutscene, but no credits. Then, once it ends, you just continue on to finish all the other guilds and side quests that you didn't already finish. I logged about 250+ hours, and even then, I probably did just about half the stuff available.

That being said, Skyrim wasn't that focused on the main story. Granted, it was a cool plot, but the game's main draw was the sum of the things that you could do in the world, the ability to experience a unique story based on the quests you did, and the badass stuff you could do.

OK, I love those, but they're vaguely disturbing at the same time 

[Hellion Rex]

Also, so many awesome in-depth Inquisitor stories here! I don't allow myself to make plans like that before playing the game first, so my plans so far just consist of a nameless female elven mage or rogue that will romance Cullen. I really want to play a mage, but my first playthroughs of DA:O and DA2 were with rogues, so I'm conflicted about which class to go with for this first playthrough.

I'd honestly say that you should try a mage. I feel like that being a mage with this specific game plot, the Veil and the Fade, will be a lot richer because your character is so uniquely tied to the lore surrounding these issues, much more so than a warrior or rogue could be.

I preplan for a few reasons. One, it's fun. Two, I don't really enjoy self-inserting. Three, I don't really like a "special" protagonist, so it's going to take extra work to make the Inquisitor palatable. Four, romances. BW men don't traditionally work for me and we have two attractive human men who are hot and probably stable. O'm going the extra mile to indulge.
