Boomshakalakalakaboom EVERY TIME I see your signituare I start giggling like mad. XD You make my day.

 

Thanks for pointing it out; I hadn't noticed it before

[Zarro-Morningstar]

The nice thing about the DA games is that each playthrough can be completely unique if you allow it to be. I plan on exhausting the heck out of this game until I've done every kind of playthrough imaginable, discovering every little dialogue option and hidden gem   And after that I'll probably do it all over again!

Yep same here and guess what...I can do it on TWO consoles! First on the Ps3 and then onto the PS4 a month later...I really hope I am able to download my save files since I plan on uploading to the online storage, but if I have to start over with no save files that doesn't really bother me.

 

Everyone except Varric, Bull, Cole and Dorian for party members they are the only ones I am interested in. 

Cool! I personally am interested in all of them, but we will see if that changes when we actually "meet" them.

[Mrs_Stick]

I'm sure once I meet them all I will start to like them. But for now the only person who has my full attention is Cullen lol I'm just so in love with his character I can't help it.

[AstraDrakkar]

He does seem to have that effect on a lot of peeps.

 

Speaking of which...I better be sure to take my blood pressure medicine before starting a game of DAI...or its liable to be nosebleed city for me.

You are not alone

[CuriousArtemis]

I am probably most interested in Solas and Sera. It is true that I love elves to pieces, so that makes sense But I find both their characters and backgrounds intriguing.

 

EDIT: Also, Cole!!! Because I loved him in Asunder sooo much

[Andir]

oh man. i adventured past the bsn land and..there is a lot of cullen hate. D : my life has been a lie! people can be pretty viscous to his fans. and scary. not that i didn't know that, but yikes!  just another reason that this thread is brilliant. srsly, this is probably my favorite thread of any forum i've been on. even if you guys don't like a character you don't wish their death in 100 ways. 

 

(just had to drop in to say that. people be crazy. o-o)

Is it better to read the Dragon Age books in order? does it matter? 

[Tishina]

I imagine if he was supervising the creche, if you were to look in the door and observe, he'd be under a kiddie pile-up, covered in paint, mushed fruit, other unexplained gooey stuff and the kids would be having the best fun picking on him, the gruff Commander is actually the biggest softie

I think he'll be really good with children, he certainly seems to have plenty patience

OK, so the Cullen and children story happened (for fun, though it's a very rough draft.) It's close to 1000 words, is that too long to put in here in spoilers?

I don't think the order should matter since each is a story of its own. I read The Calling and then Asunder and am saving to by Stolen Throne before I read Masked Empire.

Alright, thanks! xD

 

I just bought the Masked Empire today, so hopefully it's good 

[phyreblade74]

So my SWTOR guild was working to refine our schedule for events during the month of November during a meeting tonight.  I go ahead and pull up my calendar and start considering the best date for one specific gathering of our varied characters, and I suddenly realize how friggin' close we are to PLAYING INQUISITION.  I had to tell my guildies, "Nope, can't do that.  Too close to DAI.  Let's choose another date."

 

So now I'm doing excited little dances all over the place.

Do eet.  Spoiler tag if you feel more comfortable, by all means.

Not for me, please do the thing.

 

Edit: 100 posts, what an achievement, lol!

[Tishina]

OK, I warn you, this is literally a stream-of-thought rough draft. As usual, my PC name was picked randomly from my Russian English dictionary. And I tossed Josephine into the story since she's our one known non-combatant.

 

"Charge!"

Spoiler

Zima leaned over the map table, trying to locate Highever. “Josephine, where does that report say they were again?”

 

Josephine held up the parchment, turning it toward the candles to squint at the smeared ink, “The troops were last seen…” She broke off as shrill, excited voices rapidly grew louder from the hallway, turning to face the noise. Zima straightened, reaching for the bandolier with her knives, face alarmed as suddenly a dozen small children, human, elven, and dwarven, from toddlers to sturdy five and six year olds, burst through the doorway, led by a small child in a familiar lion helm and followed closely by…

 

“Cul…Commander? What’s going on?” Zima pulled her hand back from the bandolier, still staring at the tall blonde man, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

 

“Troops! Wait for the command to charge! Remember, we must rescue the Lady Josephine!” Josephine frowned, then realized that a slow grin of delight was spreading across the Inquisitor’s face as she saw the bread stick weapons each of the children carried, then Zima seized a long thin loaf of Orlesian bread, breaking it in half to wield one piece in each hand, stepping in front of Josephine to face them.

 

“Lady Josephine, behind me, I’ll protect you from these dangerous bandits with my last breath! For Clan Lavellan!”

 

She dropped into her fighting stance as Cullen roared, “Charge! Take down the vile creature holding our Lady captive!”

 

The mob of children charged forward, trying to manage war cries that sounded more like giggles, and the young Dalish woman dodged to one side, lightly tapping one child on the head with a loaf of bread, while gently whacking another on the side as they all giggled and yelled, “For the Lady Jospehine!” Within a few seconds, they had surrounded her and charged in, poking at her with their bread stick “swords”, then grabbing her hands and pulling her down, mobbing her under a giggling pile of children.

 

Zima “died” dramatically, dropping onto the floor of the war room, and crying out, “Run, my lady, they are too many for me, but I will cover your escape if I can!” then collapsing limply, eyes closed, “daggers” crossed on her chest. Josephine watched, hand over her mouth and eyes laughing as she looked across at Cullen, who was standing with his arms crossed in the doorway, one of the keep’s nursemaid standing behind him looking both amused and horrified at this treatment of the Herald of Andraste.

 

The Inquisitor lay perfectly still long enough for one of the youngest children to frown, leaning over to pull open one of her eyelids. “Inkistor?” she managed. Suddenly, Zima’s eyes pop opened, and she grabbed the small child to begin tickling her, grinning and laughing maniacally.

 

“Ah ha! I have fooled you all! I am really the wicked tickle monster from Nug marshes, and I have used your lady to lure you all in to be tickled!” She began darting toward one child after another, moving on her knees so she was almost the same height as they shrieked and ran screaming around the table trying to stay out of her reach, but also ducking back within arm’s reach as if daring her to grab them. Zima caught another child, tickling him just enough to make him shriek with laughter and squirm out of her grasp. By now, Josephine, Cullen, and the nursemaid were all openly laughing as Zima and the children kept the game up for several minutes. When the Inquisitor was thoroughly out of breath and red-faced, the nursemaid stepped into the room, calling the children.

 

“Now children, thank the Inquisitor and the Commander for a nice game, and let them go back to work.” Zima sank down to sit on the floor, laughing as several of the children paused to hug her before running toward the door. Cullen stopped the little girl with his helm long enough to reclaim his property, then crossed to offer Zima a hand up from the floor. Josephine just shook her head at them as Leliana entered the room behind Cullen.

 

“Commander, what inspired this?”

 

Cullen set his helm on the table as Zima smoothed her clothes and hair back into place. “The children were playing in the courtyard when a horse broke loose from a groom and almost ran through them. We caught the horse, but the children were so scared, I thought they needed something to distract them from their fear. Then I remembered a conversation the Inquisitor and I had while playing chess a few days ago and thought I’d kill two birds with one stone.”

 

Zima finished straightening her clothes, her face still lit by a broad grin, eyes shining at Cullen. “Yes, you asked me what I missed most about my clan, and I told you that it seemed so silent here because I almost never hear or see the children.” She glanced at Josephine almost shyly. “In a Dalish camp, there is always the noise of children-playing, laughing, chattering, fighting, and crying. And all of the children belong to the whole clan, so almost every day I could stop and play with the children, or even just hold a baby so parents could eat their meal.” She turned back to Cullen, gently resting a hand on his arm as she smiled up at him. “Thank you, Commander, you couldn’t have given me a better present.”

 

Cullen chuckled and covered her hand, “Inquisitor, your laugh was all the thanks I need.” Josephine exchanged a questioning look with Leliana who raised an eyebrow and pretended not to watch the two until suddenly Zima dropped her hand from his arm and turned back to the table abruptly. “I’m sorry Josephine, now where were we?”

The Stolen Throne  should be read before The Calling by David Gaider as they both revolve around King Maric, Alistair's father. The other novels can be read in any order. 

[Mrs_Stick]

I love that story! !

[phyreblade74]

Tishina, that was wonderful.  I'm so glad you posted it.

[Raylis]

since we're on the topic, I still have The Calling to read as well as Last Flight, I've heard rumors that a certain character may be in both (I'll leave it at that so as to not spoil, or start a conversation which may spoil me). Is there also a recomendation to read one before the other? Cause I have to admit, I don't know if I can read both of them before the game comes out, and Last Flight seems like it might be more relevent to whatever happens in the game, but I don't want to read out of order if its important...opinions?

 

EDIT: also, that story was adorable bread swords!

[Tishina]

I love that story! !

 

Tishina, that was wonderful.  I'm so glad you posted it.

I'm glad ya'll liked it. I really hesitated because there's so little description (you only know she's Dalish because she mentions her clan), but the idea grabbed me after we joked about it.

[Sifr]

I really wish that we might be able to do something like that in the game!

 

Moments like that in Origins, where the City Elf could make up that story to the Alienage kids, reassure that small lost kid in Lothering and or be a cool Aunt or Uncle to Oren in the Human Noble origin, were a great touch and served to give our Warden's way more depth to them.

 

It's a shame that Hawke never got any real moments like that DA2, aside from that scene with those kids during Act 3 who's guardian turned into an abomination. It's a shame that the sarcastic option was relatively meanspirited in that scene, because I always pictured Sarcastic Hawke as being awesome when dealing with children?
