Not long now!

 

EDIT: My poor partner is already lamenting that he won't see my for months when DAI is out... so much so he's expecting when I do come out for air to say "Daniel, Daniel who?!"

[loominousfish]

so much of pages without Cullen?

 

(I`m terribly bored waiting) meh ...

*snip*

it`s so nice 

 

I love how carefree he looks in that picture. But just a little quibble--could you please include a link to the source for that picture so that the artist gets proper credit for their work? (Unless it's you, of course.)

similarly at me, at least only to primery The Crew - then my husband alone will be soaked up into a monitor - by the way his name is also Daniel, hehe

It would help if the information was available to everyone as they were growing up. I think schools/counselors/doctors need to start becoming more informed so they can in-turn, inform others. It isn't as black and white as some people assume it is. You don't always just wake up and say, "I'm gay/bi/demi/a-sexual." It can take someone years to figure out their sexual orientation and I think most of the time it starts in the teen years and so many people repress what they really feel because the information that helps to explain to them why they feel a certain way and that it is OK to be like this just isn't available (well, it wasn't when I was in school) and I have blabbed on enough so here is some Cullen and Dorian.

 

It took me years to figure out. I always thought that I was just an old fashioned romantic...but some comments that I made to my nephew about his appalling taste in men (my comments were basically why don't you get to know them first), resulted in us having an interesting chat. We both were coming from very different positions, and we both had trouble understanding each other, we fought our way through that until the 'aha'  lightbulb went on...I personally find the thought of casual sex repulsive, and find many straight forward flirts/ dirty talk, crude and vulgar, I can appreciate someone being pretty or handsome, but until I get to know them....there is no physical attraction.

 

He even pointed out that my writing (he beta reads for me) always involves people who are Demi-sexual...

Outed by my own nephew...

DA:I comes out two days before mine and my boyfriend's 4 year anniversary, but he knows how excited I am for the game so... when I told him that I booked the 18th-21st off, he was said, "But you booked off the 20th just for our anniversary, right?" And I was like, "Uhhh... yes! Definitely. Yes." And then he just sorta laughed at me and said that we'd celebrate on the weekend (although to be fair, we'd have had to celebrate on the weekend anyway since he works 12 hour days during the week and he's not in a position to book days off right now). But he's willing to listen to me squee and commentate on the game over xbox live while I play . Plus Pokemon is coming out this month so he'll have something to play too.

It took me forever to realize why most of my crushes were platonic. For me, most of my crushes felt more like, "Wow, you're a really cool person, and I'd love to be friends with you!" But because that's not really a thing that we're taught about, I thought that that's what romantic crushes were like, so I'd get into relationships and then have to break it off because anything more than friendship never felt right with those people. I didn't feel emotionally connected to them, and while I could appreciate their attractiveness, I wasn't attracted to them. And people would talk about sex and stuff and then I'd think that there was something wrong with me because I didn't have any interest in it. But then I'd get these raging crushes on people I did feel connected to, and they would freak me out because I wasn't used or accustomed to feeling that way. (And even worse, I'd usually end up falling for my best friends, so when I was younger I had all this angst about potentially ruining a friendship. Oh, teenage angst. )

 

Most of my characters also usually end  up turning out to be demisexual. I can't help it! 

[john-in-france]

 Naughty, naughty Boom.  But I agree, THAT is a very significant scientific observation. Definitely. 

 

There have been scientific (real ones) studies on the relationship in size of index fingers and ...

I just found out about The video. I'll watch him now and tell you guys What they say .

[R2s Muse]

Well, the DA world is sexist to either gender in various parts, so in a way DAO wasn't lying when it said genders were treated generally the same.

Um. I do not think this word means what you think it means...

You know I wouldn't even know what demi-sexual was if it wasn't for this thread (I google these things).

That being said, people are who they are and I generally don't like to label or be labelled, I really just don't care what people's sexual orientation is.

I may not always understand, but in the end it's their life and everyone deserves to be happy

Ok, there's The recap:
Preview in England, tried The game for 4 hours.
Areas are big, very detailed and full of things to do. The devs said The hinterlands has more or less 20 hours of content.
They tested The starting of The hinterlands area, with a little story part.
The graphics are really good. There Were some bugs, but nothing very worthwile. Cameron said that it was hard to work on The engine, but necessary for creating this big opens world game.
He explained a bit The new healing system (nothing new).
Combat as Fast as in DA2 but more complex and tactical. Enemies are more intelligent then in The Past. Tactical camera not zoomable as in DAO, but really useful on higher difficulties (he played on Hard). The fights are more difficult Then in The Past but rewarding.
Abilities are very different from each other.
Lots of returning characters.
He mentioned The keep as The way to import saves.

That's all everyone .

I can actually sing that in my head.

Christmas with the Inquisition

With Jory telling us he didn't think women were permitted to join the grey wardens and then Murdock saying he didn't think they made women grey wardens not to mention you can't talk to Berwick with out the chance on him making a sexist comment it was kind of obvious Thedas was still a pretty sexist place and that's only mentioning a few. But tbh I don't mind it, we're always given the chance to put them in their place and I really wouldn't expect a setting loosely based on medeival times to be anything but sexist. 

I am all for the hero having an 'In your face' victory moment. That's why I like playing elves and mages so much...you want to supress my kind well now what do you think when I saved your butt

Yeah, there are certainly enough moments like that. But then... don't start off character creation telling us your brand new fantasy world has gender equality. It's the dissonance that bothers me. And bothered me as I played. If you've constructed a sexist world, then describe it so. Don't set your players up to think it's one thing... and then let them feel "less than" by discovering it's another during game play.

I'm out of likes again....but LIKE!

 

Luckily I was the archetypal teenage nerd, more into science than people. However most of my adult life...by the time I expressed interest, I'd be friendzoned. LOL adult angst...

No problem.
I'll watch The other Two big Italian gaming sites to see when they'll post their preview.

OK, maybe not enough coffee, but can someone explain the Swedish reference in this comic from Champions and Heroes? I thought Allegra Clark was, I dunno, italian or something. Is she Swedish??

I´m pretty sure she isn´t swedish so I don´t actually understand the swedish representative thing,but the "joke" I guess is probably the fact that Sweden usually tries to stay neutral during conflicts even though they might not always be that neutral (See WW2) at least that´s what I think it is

So maybe it means that Josie won´t be as neutral as she appears?

I thought that was a joke normally made about Switzerland, tho. Sweden?? Yeeah. OK. Maybe just not funny then.

I think you hit the nail of the head.

And no she's not Swedish, she's from New York & speaks English, Italian and French.

(I checked her website http://www.allegraclark.com/)

[gamerSSV]

yes, they look much better than in DAO and DAI- and Arishok is looking best

Yup. Took me a while till I realized how much I liked them, when I first played the game actually. And the Arishok is awesome.........hey, I've just remembered a DA2 parody vid I watched on YT, and the Arishok was quite funny.
