I wouldn't be surprised since The Calling has been brought up so much in these games (and companion works) and now we know that

She speaks the truth --> Refers to Inquisitor speaking the truth about Corypheus.

The rest may or may not be what the girl "translated". The voices are too intertwined to sort out any clear message.

Keep in mind I don't think we'll ever see our Warden...the character was not voiced, and I think it would throw a lot of us off to see a voice added to our Warden that we didn't think matched.

 

Another thing - this could also pertain to

Hmm it'll be interesting to hear whether it"ll be "He speaks the truth" if it was a Male Inquisitor.

Not sure on the first part, since the voices are talking to the IQ so saying "she" wouldn't pertain to the IQ if they are talking to her already.

 

The rest of it was very garbled and I think 10 different people would hear 10 different things. 

 

It will be interesting to see if we stay with our IQ in the next game - I still stand by that one despite what we've been told in the past. People have heard rumors north for the next game - the voices say go north - maybe the IQ goes on a mission...north.

Yeeeaaaah, you're not the only one. I still find it supremely vexing that you don't just get the same quest on both sides. Supremely. Vexing.  :angry:  Esp since the Advisors' Cullen section of the game guide didn't say anything about that. 

 

Well next time choose carefully!  ^_^

Aww too bad. It's clearly marked somehow mentionned on Cullen's list of quest on e-guide however, but only said like this:

 

Inner Circle Quests:  

  • Perseverance (Personal Plot)
  • Happier Times (Gift Plot)
  • Before the Dawn (Samson nemesis quest) ---> true, they don't say whether this is due to Mage or Templar. I get your point.

Yeah, I'd call this anything but clearly marked. I wouldn't even say somehow mentioned, since they don't say anything about gating of this quest. As a new player on their first playthrough, the words "samson nemesis plot" don't tell you "you won't get this quest at all if you don't make the right choices." In fact it tells you absolutely nothing at all, except that Samson from DA2 may appear. So all it promises are 3 quests, of which I only got 2.

 

Not sure on the first part, since the voices are talking to the IQ so saying "she" wouldn't pertain to the IQ if they are talking to her already.

 

The rest of it was very garbled and I think 10 different people would hear 10 different things. 

Yeah, I have yet to see a convincing interpretation of what's being said. Esp since both the Warden and the IQ can be male or female. I dunno.

Very hot ranting. Sorry, I really need to let this out after reading so many things that I just want to punch people. Or singing trololo to their face.

Sorry, just got back!!

 

What you wrote is EXACTLY how I feel about all of it!  I can see everything perfectly in my head.  These conversations and how they would go down, for example.  But when I write them, I do the EXACT same thing...try to write every eyebrow tilt, every smirk, every head shift, every shoulder slump, until it is ridiculous.  And I believe my problem is that the words I am having them say SHOULD be able to stand on their own without over detailing the scene, but I don't think I am a good enough writer yet to just let the scene be. 

 

So...we should both keep working!

 

AND...at some point, share with others! :)

 

Ha, well, we can make a pact to share our obsessively over-detailed stories with each other, and then the world! :D /highfive  (Cause like, how will everyone know that Cullen tastes like Josephine's sugar cookies if I don't say it, right??  That's crucial information right there!  ...Me no right gud.)

There's a whole reddit thread dedicated to translating that backward well talking thingy. I think the general consensus was that the whispers are saying:

 

"She speaks... The oath... She's calling us... Go to the altar of Mythal"

 

Here's the reddit thread anyway:

Now I'm curious to know what that Female Everywhere topic's all about. If there are misogynist trolls there, I'll make their life more difficult.
Time to go troll hunting.

I don't know whether it's a good idea to keep the smoke fuming, but I just need to say something. Well, the discussion is quite civil there but the urge to put another Trololo video is really tempting.

I hear you.  I reckon that one is a troll, but even so, it gets tiresome.  Saying that, I did enjoy seeing it get pretty completely derailed (and by a lot of familiar Cullenite faces!)  

 

I tried to have a conversation about the same exact topic last year in the Guild Wars 2 forums (same deal, the new featured NPC team has more female characters and a subset of players just could not deal with it at all, happily ignoring all the male characters and basically saying they 'didn't count' as representation because they didn't personally like them.)  It gets old fast.  Shows just how much we (in the sense of 'humans') absorb the stuff around us, to the point where our perceptions of how many of 'us' there are vs. 'them' is pretty skewed.  

 

Brains, what can ya do with 'em?

OMG, just did same. You guys MADE ME LOOK! LOL Why oh why is a thread like that 16 pages long? Sigh. 

 

In other news, perhaps we should start a petition for a DA male character to wear that new slinky FF male armor that's lighting up the interwebs.  :devil:

Me too. There's no point with the privileged mindset in which anything less than a 2/3 male majority is "skewed" against them. Though I think it's ironic that the same people who tend to complain about that also tend to complain about their choices of female LIs as a male player when having 6 male companions to 3 female companions is obviously going to limit their options, but hey, math and logic, apparently they aren't familiar with either.

Best not to encourage it any further now, the moderators will end up giving you a warning or banning you for a while.
