I'm in that drought between Abyss/Wicked and Pride. There isn't much new there until I hit Emerald/Emprise and his personal quest, but I have to clear out Hissing Wastes before I trot on over to those other regions. I also have some dragons to kill.

The first time I saw it I was all like "We've got a Stark among us!"
Funny too since most people I know didn't seem to make that connection...and they love GoT.
Furry cloaks define the Stark's armor style, c'mon!

Though, the fuzzy pauldron.. I'd love me some of that fuzzy pauldron. mmm...

I always have a lot of trouble with make up irl. It's not that I can't make it look good, it just won't stay looking good. Eyeshadow always creeps into my eye fold so that eventually my whole lid is clear except for this small line...
It's so much easier in game. XD
Edit: I only have pictures of Tiny Cullen xD

OH NOES! This is my nemesis...oh the choco-tinis...that was the one and only time I made a mess of my best friend's bathroom and was carried to bed by her b/f...I was told they shoved water down my throat so I wouldn't wake up with a hangover.
Oh, man! I learned pretty early that I hated hangovers (I still am not very fond of rum), so I tend to drink cautiously. I love the taste of Godiva, but one or two shots makes me very happy (and the price helps me resist overindulging
). It's glorious poured over a really good ice cream.

I usually go with shadow intensity 2nd from the right. Liner intensity 1st from the right. It seems to come out pretty nice (most noticeable in dark lighting)...not too strong, but not too subtle either:
Spoiler
Cool! I'll spend more time on it later and try to work it out better. I just wanted to get a couple of characters who I was happy enough with to play so I could really get into the game finally.
Of course, the fact I want most of my IQs to be at least early 30s makes it harder.
My biggest problem right now is I'd planned to romance Cullen with my Dalish mage, and Solas with my Dalish warrior, but I'm wondering whether there is content you only get with Solas if you are romance him as a mage so I'm waffling on that.

I have not done any main quests since I got to Skyhold. I just have so many areas open right now with so many quests to do in them, I feel like I need to get some of that out of the way before I do anything else.

If you want early 30's I think it's all on the skin tone you pick. I generally go with the one in the middle (I think #6?). The ones further to the left are far too "young" looking.

Alas I have a hard time with makeup as well. I can do my eyes nice and I'm obsessed (absolutely obsessed) with my eyebrows. I just can't seem to find any lipcolor that works (my lips are already pretty dark plum-ish). I also can't seem to pull off any sort of powders or foundations, etc...it makes me look so flat. If I need anything at all, I just go with BB cream and it seems to work pretty well. I suppose it's just as well anyways, my b/f hates it when I wear anything beyond just my eyes.

Well, makeup artist tend to go by the rule that you either work with the eyes or the lips. If you prefer to accentuate your eyes then keep your lips as natural as possible and if your face is looking flat then you may need to look at some contouring techniques. I am a firm believer though that if you find a product that works for you then stick with it, it will always be your best friend. I don't think many guys like a woman's lips overdone, they aren't exactly the nicest thing to kiss when plied with lipstick/gloss. ![]()
If your lips are a deep colour already then never try to use a lighter lip colour. Work within the colour scheme you already have and don't be shy to use an even darker plum lipstick than what your lips naturally are but just remember to keep your eyes more natural. It does take some getting used to when trying something different so I suggest just doing when you will be spending the day at home. You will keep catching your reflection and eventually get used to seeing yourself done up differently.

The color Seedy from Silk Naturals is a gorgeous sheer plum, it is more like a tinted lip balm, I bet it would love lovely on plum-ish lips!
I love BB/CC Creams. My current staple is the Physicians Formula Organic Wear CC cream, one of the few all natural makeup items that can actually be found in the drugstore. I love that it actually has decent coverage and is not just a tinted moisturizer. Most of my makeup I have to order online though since most all natural brands tend to be quite small and online only.

Thanks for the advice! I don't have a lot of patience for wearing lots of makeup...I guess I'm sorta lucky that my skin is pretty good (for now) where I honestly think I look better without foundation, etc. I have a lighter cool complexion with black hair and brown eyes, so it can easily get "vampish" if I start playing around with darker lipstick. It also doesn't help that I normally wear chick black-framed glasses, so I tend to look like a naughty librarian. ![]()

Oh, the BB cream I use is by Physicians Formula! I do like it since it's not heavy.

If you haven't been one for wearing heavy foundations then that is probably one of the reasons why your skin is so nice. All foundations do is clog up pores and stop your skin from being able to breath. I only ever wear it unless I am going all out for a special occasion. Makeup is for enhancing your features, not hiding them so I see no point in piling on a heavy layer of the stuff.

I'm learning that there are many downsides to religiously following a game's development for years. I know those of us who've been pouncing on every little tweet since January 2012 have probably been the most disappointed; the game was never going to be able to live up to the hype... the hype that we created ourselves from over-obsessing lol
But yeah it does seem like a crap ton was cut out. I don't know if this is normal in a video game though?! I'm going to guess yes. I mean for your average person knowing nothing about how the game was made, DAI probably seems 100% complete.
Yeah, that's something I'm learning too! Makes me wonder if I would have been disappointed with DA:O if I had followed its development since I know loads of stuff was cut and changed during the 6 years it was being made. Even with DA2, I wasn't keen on it at first but it grew on me fairly quickly and I wasn't around for it's development either so I don't know what they promised from that one.
yea, it's normal. Things get cut or changed a lot in video games either due to time issues, animation, not fitting in with the current flow of the story, or possibly being saved for DLC
