Three children for my mage Trayvlen named Vern, Clinton, and Jaylin my Quizzy is named after my grandmother on my father side Cullen fits my granddad personality perfectly. So the kid names are based off my fathers and hisbrother names.

"Could remain so"
"without setting the future in stone"

This tells me they're entertaining the idea. And if they do give Cullen/Amell another shot then at least I know who can romance Blackwall. My F Inquisitor!

Sadly, I don't think I could give him up for my Inquisitor, but I would love to see how that could play out.

Has anyone found out where/when the inquisitor can do a spit take?

Oh man, that's a good question! I wonder!

[Ryriena]

Clintion will be a Mage and Vern sadly dies very early in life during a war and Jaylin will be a rouge double wielde.

Spit take?

I thought she only did that for the video?

[Kaibe]

Spit take?

In the video with AWR and Conal she was recording one.

Oh! I think that was done just for a laugh for that specific video.

I think it's so easy for me bc I view my Inquisitor as the next best thing. I can't have a Amell/Cullen. But at least I can romance Cullen, so she'll do kind of mentality.

Yeah, I thought is was a spit take/p i s s take? 

 

Grah, every time! How is it a bad word?

'fraid not. I heard Sera do one, but the Inquisitor? No sign of it.

I just noticed you had Ambient Occlusion on, and that makes my load times hell and might or might not contribute to my DirectX crashes. I'll give the rest of the settings a shot without the Ambient Occlusion and see what it looks like. Your shots are gorgeous, and I want it to work!

 

Yeah, I've seen people recommend turning it off if you're having the DirectX crashing issues. I've had a few DirectX crashes, but not very often. Haven't had a crash in over a week, so I'm just keeping it on, and thankfully it doesn't seem to make my load times any longer. Sorry to hear that it can cause so many problems, though!

 

Also, forgot to mention this before, but the LumaSharpen setting can unfortunately cause jagged edges in screenshots. Looks great in-game, but jagged in the SweetFX screenshots for some reason. For high res shots, I usually use NVIDIA DSR to take them at 2560x1600 resolution, and then resizing them to my actual resolution of 1920x1200 gets rid of the jagged edges, but you could always just disable LumaSharpen. I prefer it on, since the in-game antialiasing works well, but makes things extra... blurry?

 

So... I've been nothing but off topic today. Forgive me?:

Ah, well that does make sense and he was very adorably tempting in DAO. Unfortunately, Alistair can't be beat for my Wardens.

[Sifr]

Probably it was only for that video.

 

Or some particularly raunchy dialogue ended up being cut? My money is on Sera or Bull being the one most likely responsible for dropping that into a conversation, although hearing smut from Cullen would be spit-take worthy...

[Kaibe]

Ah, I see. Thanks!
And I've romanced Cullen three times now. I've been trying to romance Cass and Dorian, but everytime I see Cullen...

I Love Alistair. But only for Cousland. And probably not as much as I love Cullen.

I actually feel a little embarrassed cos yesterday I was all like "nope. nope. NOPE!" Today I realised that my cannon warden is rogue so it doesn't actually concern me. Still, I don't like the idea of any character mooning over someone else if the were being romanced by my PC, especially when I go to such great lengths to make her a complete and utter hotty!

Maybe that's my issue?! I don't think my inquisitor is hot enough for Cullen. And my Amell definitely was!

And I bet IF they every dared to do Amell/Cullen it would only apply to un-romanced Amell and Cullen. So if you don't like it then you don't have to do it. And the "pining" dialogue looks to only happen when he's not being romanced anyway.

I know, right! And what makes it doubly surreal is that my Warden is supposed to be me, and my Inquisitor currently is supposed to be me, so I'm essentially getting annoyed at Cullen for mooning over me when he's supposed to be romancing me.

Wait until Adela and the others get all their mods into the game, there's some amazing hairstyles ready to be put in already!

Cullen better watch himself with you then. 

 

...but if you leave a man with nothing but his soldierly duty, I mean, he must think about someone.

[Cerulione]

Yeah, I completely feel the same way. As much as people like to complain about DA2's story and gameplay, I dare anyone to say that the companions weren't the real heart and soul of the game and which makes it still fun to go back and replay.

 

I'll put the the rest of this under a spoiler tag, as it's a little TL:DR.

 

Spoiler

The Kirkwall gang really came across as family unit by the end of the game. Sure, it was often a dysfunctional family with a metric ton of sibling rivalry between some of the members, but it was great to see them grow closer and become genuine friends over the years. You really got the sense that the DA2 gang hung out with each other because they were friends, not because they were forced together as part of any "save the world" mission like in Origins and Inquisition and aside from interacting when they were following the Warden and Inquisitor, mostly kept to themselves.

 

I suppose part of that might be because of the seven year timescale of DA2, compared to the threat of the Blight and Corypheus, which seems to take place over the course of several months at least, which allowed for the gang in Kirkwall to forge those kinds of connections, whereas most of our group are still relative strangers with each other.

 

Of course, I think that might be a inherent limitation of the series as we jump to a new protagonist and companions each time. Look at the companions in Mass Effect for comparison, who didn't really seem to get on that much in the first game, but only really became a true family after two or three games, because like DA2, they'd had a few years to forge those connections.

 

As for the companions personally;

 

Vivienne for instance was an ice queen to everyone, much like Morrigan, but at least with Morrigan we got scenes that showed why she is that way and see her become a nicer person as a result of the Warden's friendship (or romance). Vivienne however gets one sad scene in her personal quest, before going back to treating people like dirt. When she gave my Inquisitor that ring as a token of friendship, I was amused that even one of the dialogue options was "So what do you want in exchange?", because given that she was also talking about the Divine candidates at this point in the game, it seemed like she was just trying to butter me up for a nomination?

 

Varric meanwhile had some problems here, because while I love his character, Sera was completely on the ball when she commented that he wants to get back to Kirkwall and his "cooler friends". While he's friendly to everyone, he never really seems to completely commit to this new group he's found himself in and it's somewhat telling that is personal space in Skyhold is located right next to the door.

 

The only person we really see him take time to get to know is Cole, who he takes under his wing, most likely because as we saw in DA2, Varric has a soft spot for people who are outcasts. It might also be because Cole reminds him somewhat of Merrill, in that both are sweet, well-meaning and slightly scatty people, who are wrapped up in something dangerous.

 

Personally, I wish that Hawke had been around for longer, because s/he being there was the only time (save for when Bianca showed up) that Varric really seemed to perk up and act more like his old self?

 

I think the companions that most seemed to get with the group dynamic were Iron Bull (who was friendly to pretty much everyone in the group), Solas (who aside from Sera, no-one has a bad word to say against), Cassandra (who tries to get along with everyone for the sake of the Inquisition) and Blackwall (who despite being a gruff loner, seems to get on well with everyone). Sera and Dorian also qualify to a lesser extent, but her pranks and his ego sometimes rub some in the party up the wrong way, even if they normally like both of them.

 

I think the real problem is we needed more scenes of the group having some downtime. It's surprsingly thinking back to DA2 how many conversations and scenes took place at the Hanged Man, which really gave the entire place an awesome Cheers vibe as everyone's favourite local, complete with a bunch of colourful bar patrons. Varric even bemoans that they're going to have to rebuild the pub during "The Last Straw" before and Snarky Hawke's rallying speech ends with their quipping about buying the round afterwards. I was expecting something like that from the Haven and Skyhold, but it never really seemed to get that vibe, a shame because taverns are a staple of the fantasy genre.

 

I dunno, I liked the groups in Inquisition and Origins, but I felt both are missing that spark that DA2 had that made their interactions so memorable?

 

LIKE. (I'm out of Like again...)

 

Well, the thing about Varric feeling that his "best friends" are in Kirkwall is just sort of... heartwarming. I mean, he can't suddenly feel that the whole bunch of Inquisition people that he just knew a few months back as best friends right?

 

Personally I still prefer the companion dynamic of DA:O compared to DA:I. Maybe because it's really just the 8 (or how many again?) of them, camping at night far away from other people. Too many NPCs in Skyhold, no more intimacy...

 

Remember Leliana singing Uthenara & we have all shots of all companions? Can't do that in DA:I. Except on that arrival of skyhold thing but... not the same feeling.

 

Still, I love Varric once again. I love Bull & Dorian getting snarky, and I love Solas. Too bad Cullen's not coming at the field. The sea air might do him some good, as said by Harding.
