TYVM MightyZan and ninetozero!  I had a feeling that time wasn't quite the same in the Fade.  And my guesstimates about distance weren't too far off either.  (I do think it is a bit weird that all the prominent Inquisition figures go to Halamshiral at the same time, so there's a few days/a week or so where who knows who is in charge.  Maybe that's what Quizquisition guy does when we're not around!  I mean, Jim would be lost without Cullen there to yell at him.)

Just a question for everyone who had finished the game & who did Solas romance...

 

Spoiler

Will Solas be angry or cut off the relationship if the Inquisitor choose to drink from the Well??

[MightyZan]

OMG! That was hot! Nicely done. 

 

... i'll be in my bunk...

I haven't read back over it yet, so I'm just glad it was legible! ^.^

Slightly random questions, but you guys are nice (and it is related to the Culleny story I've been writing.  If I ever finish it to a degree I'm happy with, I'll post it.)  I'm struggling to get a sense of time and distance in game, sometimes.  How long would it take to travel from Skyhold to Val Royeaux, for example, assuming a fairly steady pace on horseback?  How far is Skyhold from the Valley of Sacred Ashes/Haven?  Right at the end,

Spoiler

you can see Corypheus' lightning from the window in the war room, but it seems like it would be too far for anyone at Skyhold to actually see what was happening during the battle, especially with the mountains possibly in the way.

 

And for Fort Adamant, 

Spoiler

How long would the party have been in the Fade: minutes, hours, days?  Does time pass differently in the Fade to Thedas itself?  I'm just wondering about everyone waiting around there after they go through the portal, since I would think it would have seemed like they all died in the bridge collapse.  But then the wardens and the army are all still there when you get out, like you'd only been 'gone' a few minutes.

Soo.... I have some very very detailed references for this, so you'll have to let me know just how detailed you want to be. I haven't done those calculations myself for DA:I, but I can share rates of travel and a way of estimating it based on other distances. 

 

In short:

walking: 20 mi/day

horseback: 50 mi/day

by sea: 100 mi/day

 

Some distances as the crow flies (except where noted):

Orzammar to Halamshiral: 200 miles

Halamshiral to Lydes: 100 miles

Lydes to Verchiel: 90 miles

Verchiel to Montsimmard: 127 miles

Ansburg to Starkhaven: 227 miles

Ansburg to Perivantium: 418 miles

Ansburg to Seleny: 163 miles

Ansburg to Antiva City: 181 miles

Seleny to Antiva City: 141 miles

Antiva City to Weisshaupt: 936 miles

Cumberland to Weisshaupt: 600 miles

Cumberland to Val Royeaux: 272 miles

Kirkwall to Cumberland (land): 209 miles

Kirkwall to Cumberland (sea): 263 miles

You know R2s, saying like that, it makes me feel how small actually the part of Thedas that we know

Math.... I'm glad there are people like you around to figure it out.

[Laupe]

So last night I talked on a podcast, drank some wine, and decided to write some smutty Cullen fanfiction (Because box wine apparently has that affect on me)

Figured this was the place to share that. ^.^

The Inquisitor GREATLY approves!

It does make me wonder about Corypheus.
it's almost as if he thinks

Spoiler

Excellent! My enemy and all the people they rely on to thwart my plans are gathered in one place and have left their home base without a commander. I could go and take it out from underneath them and deal them a terribly crushing blow... Or I could place all my hopes of success on a dancing duchess.

Yeah, I think I'll go with the duchess.

You had me "box wine" but that fic was ... was... *fans self*...

THANK YOU!

Math.... I'm glad there are people like you around to figure it out.

To be fair, I haven't done any of the math here. The original links I have to authors are all dead now, so thank the Maker I saved them. I have a couple of Word files worth of distances and references and such. Like I said... lemme know if anyone wants *more* details. I got 'em.  One person used the map scale from the DA RPG books. Another used a pixel to miles scale for the Thedas map. Most of what I have are within Ferelden, tho.

 

edit: I take that back, at least one of them still exists, in the Alistair group on the old BSN. http://social.biowar...iscussion/6818/

Solas gets angry if you drink from the well regardless of whether you're romancing him or not, and no he doesn't cut off the relationship.

Yay! Heh.

You also have to take into account climate and terrain in those travel times when taken together with distances. There is also the matter of what kind of road one has, if any.

 

The Butterfield Stage was contracted to carry mail and it took passengers across the wide western US at speed. The times and distances varied pretty widely.

 

San Fran to LA, 462 miles, 80 hours

LA to Ft. Yuma, 282 miles, 72.20 hours

Ft. Yuma to Tucson, 280 miles, 71.45 hours

Tucson to Franklin, 360 miles, 82 hours

Franklin to Ft. Chadbourne, 458 miles, 126.30 hours

Ft. Chadbourne to Colbert's Ferry, 282.5 miles, 65.25 hours

Colbert's Ferry to Ft. Smith, 192 miles, 38 hours

Ft. Smith to Tipton, 318.5 miles, 48.55 hours

Tipton to St. Louis (railroad), 160 miles, 11.40 hours

 

You can almost see the impact of the different environments in the travel times and distances because you know they were more or less running the teams at about the same rates.

[meanieweenie]

I'm amazed at how you guys are figuring out Thedas travel times / distances!

[R2s Muse]

Yes, this is something else annoying they didn't take into account in DA:I. In the Calling, they're pretty clear that during the winter, you basically can't travel across Ferelden. (and by annoying, of course I mean, unrealistic for fic purposes, whilst being totally awesomely acceptable for gameplay reasons)

Pssh my warden/Hawke/Inquisitor can do anything.

[MelissaGT]

Ok guys, as promised here's a couple of the screenies I managed to get last night while playing around with the Cinematic Tools. No photoshop was used - it was all done using flycam's built in DoF, Character Lighting, etc etc:

 

 

 

This one was actually a complete oops:

[LolaLei]

Maybe this has been posted before but Red Lyrium Cullen...

Scary... but kinda hot. Confused feelings!

Appropriate response.

[frylock23]

I don't know. The idea of being with a red lyrium person is like being with someone who isn't the person you knew anymore. It's like being with the man formerly known as Cullen.

Yeah, but it really paints a picture when you think about how it's actually something he wondered about (if you do the Before the Dawn quest line). What if he didn't finally stand up to Meredith? Makes ya really wonder.

 

To be honest, when I first heard that Cullen was returning in this game I was very happy. But I also had a sneaking suspicion that he would be a baddie (ya know, cuz Bioware). Thank goodness my fears were unfounded!

 

*edit* Another Cullen, this time the first-kiss scene made more personal with the use of the FoV tool!

No but meeting him as just a red templar...

 

I don't think I was supposed to be attracted to Hannibal Lector either but... well... you know.
