Valentine doe sjust use his normal speaking voice. Wonder how phone calls go for him, haha. Bet he's been recognized while calling about the electricity or something.
Its kind of jarring when I see him on TV shows, because he just sounds like Alistair to me 
He played a drunken, has been rock star on Psych and I couldn't help thinking, "So THIS is where drunk Alistair winds up after DAO!"
Oh, I feel the same way about Alistair, so I'd never let anything happen to him if I could help it. But my Hawke...well, I just really identified with her. I could never willingly abandon her. And I have to admit, I would never willingly do anything that meant Anders had to go on without her. He needs her, so...no. Just...no.
I would sacrifice Hawke and the Inquisitor if it meant saving Alistair. So obviously abandoning my Hawke meant nothing to me. To be fair I didn't play DA2...sure that makes my life easier in this choice.
Oh, so anyway last night I had a Cullen dream 
It was angsty and sad. Cullen lost his left arm at the elbow after a secret mission he went on with Blackwall. I couldn't figure out what happened, but all he would say was that it had something to do with Blackwall's honor. And he was coping with no longer being able to fight or hold a shield, and the whole thing was just devastating. I remember being very angry with Blackwall, who, to his credit, remained mum on what actually happened as per Cullen's request. I don't think me and Cullen were in a romance at the time but were just sort of dancing around the issue at that point.
I woke up thinking, FANFIC FODDER!!!! 
Reading the previous pages makes me wonder if I was the only one who lucked out on HLtA no matter what I do.
To clarify:
Alistair in my canon playthrough is with a Fem!Cousland and became King, and no matter what I've only got my one Hawke: who romanced and then ended up killing, Anders before siding with the Templars. 
It makes for an interesting Keep save regardless though I suppose. And it makes the decision a little easier for the one save where I have Alistair stay a Warden.
smoooooth
also

NOOOOOOOO! Both of you & Cullen need hugs.

Nah I passionately adore my Hawke and could never let him abandon Fenris, and Alistair is always king for me, so killing Stroud was a no brainer lol I was actually shocked the game asked me to choose lol Like, seriously?! Is this supposed to be a tough decision, BioWare?!
But then again I sacrificed Ashley in a heartbeat and shed nary a tear, so...
I have the urge to try to find a image of Cullen that would covert into a decent cross stitch pattern. Arghhhhh....
And I think Steve also smooths out his accent a bit when he does Alistair.
NOOOOOOOO! Both of you & Cullen need hugs.
Indeed It was supa angsty! Although for once when I woke up I was perfectly okay, not still stuck in the story or anything. So I was pretty dispassionate about the whole thing. But while I was actually dreaming, I was just enraged, and my heart ached for him.

The difference is that Ash actually sits on that nuke...
So I was reviewing last night's screenies and came across this...whatcha doin' down there, Cully-Wully???
It was no underpants friday. he is probably putting things back in their place?
Well I accidentally imported a world state with my favorite Alistar/Warden playthrough (Alistair/Brosca haha) and Snarky mage FemHawke/Fenris, needless to say that decision was a tough one because I just can´t do that Fenris, luckily that wasn´t my canon Hawke but still 
Sort of funny though, I´m only attached to my Alistair/Brosca playthrough,other than that Zevran is who I consider my wardens "canon" LI

Looks like he's reaching for his sword.
Take that as you will.

Gah, why did my head go to: Inquisitor is there for a "weapons inspection."
I'm starting to write a fanfiction about f!Trevelyan mage x Cullen (but not only about the romance). I'm going to put it on AO3 & FF.net once my account got validated. Just finished the prologue part...
This is my first time so if anyone has any critics or suggestion (positive or negative) I wish to hear it for improvements

Spoiler
True, true 
The Ash thing was so funny because afterward the game really wanted me to feel sad, but I was just like, whatever lol I mean I literally NEVER talked to her when she was on the Normandy. She was an enlisted man and I was the commander; what would I have to say to her Probably had no reason to talk to Kaidan either, but, well
Reading the previous pages makes me wonder if I was the only one who lucked out on HLtA no matter what I do.
Alistair is king in my headcanon playthrough, so I have no problem leaving Stroud. 
I'm setting myself up for the hard choice this PT. I'm really glad I knew in advance... so I'm prepared. I loved all my Hawke's but I'm prepared to send this one to the Maker to spend more time with Alistair.
... R2's Protemplar Rant #457 on how my first playthrough's protemplar choice meant I never saw hide nor hair of Alistair.
i still can't decide if i should send my tragic!hawke or my douchebag!Hawke with warden Alistair, which is totally blocking me from starting Solas's romance, because my lavellans are supposed to be sisters and blah blah blah continuity. and it's a completely arbitrary choice that will change like, two lines of dialogue 
tragic hawke fits the martyrdom thing, but i can't do that to varric unless its to free him from douche!hawkes toxic """friendship""".

At a glance I'd change those minor edits. Otherwise, decent start. Go Varric!

I was sad that Ashley died in my playthrough, but it wasn't like I was a sobbing mess or anything. I was just more like 'aww I'm...I sorry Ash...' but I was pretty much in the same boat in regards to how hard the choice was, which it wasn't.

Alistair is king in my canon, but I've got one where he's still a Warden. Otherwise it's pretty much a no brainer in the decision making. Though even in the one where he's a Warden, it's still a no brainer in choosing him, at least with this particular Hawke. I don't want to think about my Hawke that romanced Fenris with an imported Alistair as a Warden lol

Thanks, my grammar's really bad so this will need serious editing before I post anything.
Wait... treasure vault??
Man... it's like there's a secret skyhold I've never seen!
Supposedly if you get one of Josie's high-level economic perks there's a room with Scrooge MacDuck like gold piles off that one foyer-type room in the basement, near the library, kitchens, etc., and Quiz guy can be in there sometimes. I haven't seen a picture of it, though; saving up perks in my completed playthrough to check it out.
As for Stroud / Hawke, my first and therefore canon Hawke was a Hawke of Convenience designed to get the most Cullen in my playthrough, so I didn't feel too bad about choosing Stroud (from what Hawke said I knew there would be some gameplay consequence or other if I left the GW without a solid guy to pick up the pieces). But I did feel kind of bad for Sebastian given that the material in DA:I did more to make me feel like he actually cared about her than anything in DA2.
EDIT: Also, tbh, I think my Hawke would have wanted to help finish Corypheus more than she wanted to live. If she hadn't offered to stay that would also have made it harder.
You know on my third play through I’ve come to realize that the feeling of two disappointments ARE still present.
Spoiler
But meh, (shrugs) just some thoughts.
I wrote a fanfic that she came out, saw Cullen a few hours later, realized AHH emotions and was like "Nope, can't deal with this right now" and took off to the Western Approach for a few weeks, before talking to Cole about it.
Seemed appropriate. Not that it was probably the BEST response.
