LOL, how'd did you manage to get her to dump your Inquisitor?! That's sound hilarious!

 

It's actually pretty dramatic. :lol: If you're romancing her as a Dalish, after the Temple of Mythal she has a major breakdown over this "elfy" tension that has been building up throughout your romance:

Spoiler

 

It needs the whole rest of the relationship in context to make full sense (and the back knowledge that Sera has serious self-esteem issues from being treated like too elfy to be decent people by the humans but too human to be proper ~elven~ by the Dalish), but what she says at the end is the gist of it - she can't be "good enough" for you, so that's it. Broke my heart, this one, but Quizzie definitely deserved to hear that and sleep on it.

I had...

Hardly any banter (about 5 all game)

No Dorian dad quest

No Sera cookies quest 

People constantly disappearing in Skyhold

Cole saying nothing in Skyhold

 

I think that's all.

 

Banter is a pain in the arse, some talk frequently others don't say a single thing depending on who I've got in my party. War table banter only started working more frequently towards the end of the game after the patch, and for some reason the messenger has now started popping up in the companion's/advisor's rooms now I'm post-game.

I've used two different copies so far, I think the PC version is just bollocksed.

I've yet to get the PC version since I hear it is about as bad as old-gen versions in terms of bugs and what not. I've been playing on my PS4 and I haven't had any hard crashes or screeching sounds...like I did for my PS3.

 

I am just surprised that we have not gotten any new official patch that fixes some of these issues...it's clearly still unplayable for some.

 I am quite sure that his disapproves since I just watched the scene again. Perhaps your game glitched or you had his approval already so high that it would no longer decrease? To be honest I would probably have had the option to punch Solas if I didn't have him involved in a romance.


That could be. I seemed to max out his approval pretty early in both games. It's also entirely possible I just don't remember well. I do remember how I got disapproval from Cass for having my male elf flirt with her yesterday; it made me laugh for like 5 minutes. I kind of like how in Cullen's romance, you don't really get approval/disapproval, but the companion approval/disapproval sometimes can give you better insight into their personalities and concerns.

Arti...I think you probably should had went with a PS4 for DA:I. Then again every game copy is different when it comes to problems, so who knows what may had been better or worse for you.

 

That's a shame that you did not have a lot of banter, stuff like that made me sympathize so much more with every character or laugh to the point of tears.

 

I never had anyone disappear on me...except Blackwall when he decided to hit and quit it. The Sera cookie quest was cute, but it was kind of meh. It made me like her character a bit more but other than that...meh. Now, Dorian his quest made me fall if love with his character so that's a bad miss.

I have the PC version, and the only real problem I had was Dorian's quest never showing up on my first playthrough. You've run into an insane amount of bugs. :(

Aw, that sucks. Kinda reminds me of Alistair where he said he was cast out by a lot of people because regular/common folk thought he "put on airs" and the nobility considered him too common/not good enough... Ack, makes me wanna play DA:O again, I adore that big ol' doof.

That was terrible!!! :( It did not give you a chance to say, "I don't think you're stupid; this is just my faith." I understand breaking up over religion (it happens in real life) but it made you look like a jerk. My Lavellan was also very religious and would've had a falling out with Sera if she put her foot down about the issue (oh, and if she liked boys :P) but the last thing he thinks of her is stupid.

Lol, I love how Cass sometimes disapproves of your IQ's flirting with her. I do wish that the advisors had the same system as the companions since it would had made them all the more "real" at least to me. Plus...I would not mind having my IQ getting into a heated fight with Cullen and then having them work it out in others mean...I wish that we could rivalmance people so badly!

Speaking of bugs, I found this funny looking creature in Emprise Du Lion:

Yeeeah but Cullen m/m romance mod may be happening one day so I think I made the right decision :P Also, in all seriousness, playing modded Skyrim has been glorious. The only downside is having to turn on the PC, boot it up, blah blah blah... there are crashes and such. It's so much more complicated than simply turning on ye olde xbox. Most of the time I pass on gaming and decide to watch something on amazon instead via my xbox. So much easier.

Picking one advisor for a job that results in minor disapproval from the other two would be hilarious.  :lol: A pain in the arse since that wouldn't work well mechanically, but still.

Do you think they will ever remake DA:O? I've been hearing a lot of rumors about the ME series being redone...so...am I hoping too much?

They remade BG2, didn't they? (I think...?) It could happen.

I'd like that. Could you imagine if they done it in the Frostbite 3 engine? I'd be ALL over that.

Yes, rivalmances should've been possible. I always liked that it was an option in DA2. Rivalmancing Cullen as a templar or a mage could've gone to interesting places.

I think eventually the modders will be able to fully exploit Frostbite, but for now we wait. I love modded Skyrim, that is a game I can still spend hours in and fully enjoy it.

I took a screenshot but it's on me gaming PC so ... I have to not be lazy and actually turn it back on and upload it :lol: But it's totally great :lol: 

 

Oh yeah I remember I turned off Skyrim in a rage last time I played b/c I was able to marry Brynjolf but the ****** refused to move in with me. And after I built that awesome house, too.  :angry:

Well then I suppose we will still have to keep on waiting...ugh  :(

 

I'd like that. Could you imagine if they done it in the Frostbite 3 engine? I'd be ALL over that.

That's what I would want them to do. I would die to see Origins remade with DA:I's graphics and animations...along with the gameplay...and if possible a voiced Protag. However, if they were able to remake DA:O with the graphics, animations, and combat of DA:I then I would gladly let the voiced protagonist slide.

 

Yes, rivalmances should've been possible. I always liked that it was an option in DA2. Rivalmancing Cullen as a templar or a mage could've gone to interesting places.

It would had been pretty similar to the Fenris and Anders romances. I know one of them said that he could not choose between wanting to kill you or ravishing you...I think it was Anders. Can you imagine if Cullen had that kind of moment?

Same for me.  I felt like Blackwall put me on some weird pedestal, Vivienne was just trying to use me, Sera was just tagging along to figure some crap out for herself, Cass and Leliana too focused on their own stuff.  Even Varric, where I felt like Hawke was his real friend, not me. Bull was kinda a friend, gave good advice and all, but nothing like shooting guns of the top of the citadel with Garrus.  If not for Cullen, i would have felt very alone in the game.

 

But perhaps that is what they wanted.  Having to become something bigger than we are to make the stuff happen.  Kinda feels like the end of the Elizabeth movie, where Kate Blanchette cuts all her hair to become a symbol over a person.  Depressing, really...but I guess I get it.

 

Miss Garrus :(

 

I didn't feel quite like that.  My IQ felt really close with Dorian and Cass particularly, and still fairly close to Varric.  It's weird, really, I get that Varric clearly considers Hawke to be his best and dearest friend, but when I played DA2 I'd have said Aveline was probably my Hawke's best friend - she knew her longer, and they were like sisters (weirdly, more like sisters than I felt with Hawke and Bethany...Bethany seemed so odd and distant after she went to the Circle.  They finally meet again at the end and it's meant to have been what, 2-3 years, in which time their mother actually died, and Bethany was just sort of like 'oh hey, it's you.  'Sup.')

 

With the others it felt more like colleagues than close friends, or semi-maternal (Cole and Sera, particularly, trying to help them work through some of their feelings and become a bit more mature.)  Blackwall I never really warmed to at all, I did very much get that 'put on a pedestal' feeling as you say.  Solas I could never get a handle on, weird combination of respect and condescension, but that does make sense for his character, really.  I wonder if that's partly why he likes spirits, and Cole, so much; in some ways, mortals, or some of us, are as baffling to him as they are to Cole, whereas spirits I guess are more transparent, for lack of a better word.

I'm so curious about what sort of story based DLC we're gonna get, apparently the devs are already in talks about it and they've only been back in the studio for a week.
