I don't usually post in here but ....
In case anyone is wondering....playing chess used to be considered a way of seeing inside the person you played against, just like Go, so Cullen playing chess with other companions gives him an insight to how they think. Tactical Advisor.....whistles
Immediately thought of this too. It's something very tactical/logical people tend to do, try to read you through a seemly harmless board or card game.
I wonder if Cullen invites everyone for chess... probably get his ass kicked by Vivienne, both in the game and in The Game. ![]()
Cole just crouches in his seat poking the pieces in confusion and, as usual, not understanding the point of the exercise. ![]()

BIIIIIG smoooch.
Daww I missed the part with Cullen and Dorian!But still yay Mabari!!
Mabari? I think I missed the mabar. We can have a mabari?
double post more pics incoming!
Okay, student is gone
I hope we can toggle the music off; it's kind of repetitive!
Usually that can be done in the audio settings. I like listening to the music at first to hear it and get a feel for it, but then I almost always turn it off. I actually like playing with it off better.

No unfortunately,no belly rubs this time but they're still in the game so yay!

Edited: rewatching, man, do those two look tired.
Haha, yeah, I originally wrote

OMG. Cullen. Chess. Commence the squee.
Also, Cameron doing a bit of combat failing on Hard difficulty
I was just sitting at my desk like, "Andraste's asscheeks, Cameron, kill the freaking artillery monsters!"
I can't remember the last time I genuinely crafted for a video game that wasn't WoW. I'm going to make all the exploding swords.

So Cullen can get along with mages, as I thought. I really liked that scene
.
Yes, it may be that Vivienne will be my main enemy instead.
Though it may come to a question of which mages he'll get along with.
You know, this reminds me of something I haven't thought of for YEARS. We used to say in college that chess was the perfect tool for the hook up... because it was so boring, what else are you gonna do?? LOL Man. SO looking forward to this scene in game. *chin in hands*Chess....so close to sex....tactically speaking.....breathes heavily...slap me now!
I was rather surprised to see Cullen being so friendly with Dorian. That, I didn't expect.
I will just leave this here: ![]()

I'm interested in debating with her the merits versus negatives of the Circle system. Hopefully, it won't be just her telling us her views. I'd like to discuss it with her.

I love it, tho!I was rather surprised to see Cullen being so friendly with Dorian. That, I didn't expect.
So...
Not a big fan of the swaying buttocks.
I think he purposefully made her walk sometimes just so we could stare at her ass! ![]()

I feel so dumb, was actually clicking the "video" and wondering "WHY DOESN'T IT STAAAAAAART?!"
Usually that can be done in the audio settings. I like listening to the music at first to hear it and get a feel for it, but then I almost always turn it off. I actually like playing with it off better.
Yeah, like in Skyrim, the music is GORGEOUS, but after 20-30 hours of initial gameplay, I get tired of having it trumpeted into my ear drums every second of every day, so I turn it down, way down ![]()

Same, though I appreciated her snark on the matter. It makes her sound a bit less preachy than Wynne did in DA:O when discussing the Circle.
I can't wait for that chess game!
I also wonder... If that might be where we'll find out Cullen's last name? Since he's remembering his past there...
