Yeah, I know people were complaining about Lavellan's limbs being off in her kiss scene with Cullen. I guess smaller tatas would have been weird if they left a gap between Cullen and Lavellan during a hug that made it look like he was keeping his distance? Idk, LOL. I can understand why they didn't, but I'm still going to hold on to the hopes that they'll be able to implement something that works in the future.
Huh, I never noticed! I'll have to go back and check with my Levellan.
If they were concerned about this, then they shouldn't have slimmed the dwarven women so much. I love dwarves, but the dwarven woman are so far from looking like dwarven men now that I sometimes briefly mistake my own dwarves for humans if they aren't standing next to someone. I really feel that all the female body shapes except elves look slimmer than I would expect the average in relation to the male body types for those races, much less a single one I'd consider on the sturdy side (both male and female elves are very slender.) I'm still aggravated that my female warriors have less shoulder and arm muscle than male mages and they don't move like athletes.
Yeah, I think that's sort of was what I was trying to say - it feels as if they just took the human model and resized its arms and legs to those proportions instead of working with new proportions that would be more accurate. Inquisition was meant to have a human protag at first, right? Maybe they didn't have enough time to implement animations that would work with different body types? Probably related to what Melissa said earlier about a general model being used.
Either way, I much preferred the differences in size, height, and proportions in Origins and wish they'd kept them that way in Inquisition.

I'm not entirely sure, it's just what I've heard. I remember people commenting on it, but I haven't played a Lavellan yet so I wouldn't know~
My Lavellan mage has a funny glitch too. If I equip the armor arm plates that have the metal that sticks up above the shoulders, in cut scenes it will set the plates down to where here shoulder is and her fingers grow long. I seriously looks like ape girl,lol. It only does it with those arm plates too, no others. I wish I had some way to do screen shots, it is the craziest glitch I have seen that I laughed so hard I had tears. My daughters called her Elvilla for elven gorilla.
I'm currently playing through Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts and I just came across this comment Cole makes about Cullen if you bring him. It kind of makes the whole nobles hounding him thing a bit depressing. Just thought I'd post it here since it's pretty easy to miss. You have to ask Cole if he's seen anything, and he has a couple of other lines not Cullen-related that he cycles through as well.
Spoiler
Poor Cully-Wully.
Many pages ago... but damn that makes me want to give Cullen a giant hug and punch those nobles... Like I totally recognized what the nobles were doing in that scene and why... but having Cole say that makes it even worse. ><
OT ... but does anyone play the Sims 4? I am, surprisingly, finding it to be really confusing. It seems to me that there are only 2-3 empty lots in the tiny, tiny world (of which there are only two), and there are no places for sims to just roam around and fish, hang out, barbecue, etc. other than the single, designated inner city park. Sims also don't visit each other or really interact unless you force them.
If anyone else is playing TS4 and can give me some tips, do please PM me 
Cause last night I re-downloaded TS3 just because it was the last sims game I actually had fun with!
Hmmmm, Darth Solas. I'd give him a pity bang lol!
OMG... I just lost my panties... 
I always have helmets turned off, so I never got to see him with a hood on. Bald as he usually appears in game, I don't find him very attractive - I like Solas because of his personality, not his appearance. But... Dayum... I think a mohawk would suit him

*raises hand*
The Sims 4 definitely feels a lot smaller than TS3. The loading screen times aren't nearly as long, at least, but besides that, yeah I had more fun with TS3 too! And wtf happened to toddlers and pools?! Babies instantly pop into 10 year olds... no no no, it isn't right.
This is so scrumptious, I can't take it. I was just thinking, my husband says he's going to start a game soon and he was saying he might play as a female, I wonder if he'll romance Cullen just to see what I've been going on about?
I also had this thought - wouldn't it be hilarious if Cullen ended up as one of People's sexiest men? Or if they put him in a Details or GQ sort of cover on Game Informer?
HA! That's still teeny for me. I wish I was a DD!
*edit* Cullen for ToP:
Larger Size

Oh okay, so it's not just me?! Phew. OH The latest patch included pools so you can build pools again 
But good luck fitting them onto the itty bitty lots. I think it's time to move out one of the premade families so I can take over their mansion lol
I just miss walking from my house to one of many parks, just hanging out, mooching off someone's picnic, playing some guitar, meeting new sims... that just doesn't happen anymore 
Sims don't even knock on the door to come visit. If I don't actually do anything, my sims just stay in their house and have no interactions whatsoever. Even when they go to work, they don't make friends with their coworkers the way they used to. It stinks!

LOL, I've had several folks mention that these look like a magazine photo shoot. 
The funny thing is that I hate taking pictures of people irl. I've lost count of how many people have asked me to do their wedding. I'm like NOPE! I did say yes to my cousin, but only because he's like my brother and the wedding is very small (JP and them and parents - that's it) and they're letting me do it in infrared. I typically only do animals and graveyards.

lol you're lucky, I could never stop people knocking at my door they were always at it. Usually when my sim was at work though.
As for fishing, not sure if you know, but the rivers and a lot of the lakes have a little fishing sign, when you see that you can fish there and there are little hang out spots around you're home where sims will gather, where there are planted herbs and trees normally.
The cow plant bugs me the most though, in TS2 you could pop it out near the pavement and strangers would take the cake, now you have to invite people over and then they don't bother with it half the time. It was all I could do though to keep my own sims from taking the cake and getting chewed on.
But yeah they have dumbed it down so much it isn't as enjoyable as 3 and no aliens!! I used to like getting my men preggers and having cute alien babies wandering about
Thank you , but please remember that It's hard not to take it personally when it's my words that get quoted, then criticized, especially when I worked so carefully to answer the question that was asked in a way that made it clear I was only speaking for my personal reasons and respected other people's choices. It may be a common sentiment in DA fandom, but I haven't actually seen much of anyone in this thread suggest that playing an elf is the way to RP (if anything, I would have said that human IQs were a slight majority on this thread.)
I have seen the "right/wrong way to play" attitude quite often here in the thread, but that's a recurring discussion that doesn't seem to accomplish much, as it keeps coming back from time to time, so. Que sera, sera.
In any case, you are right, of course, it was in poor tone of me to comment on that as a segue to your post, and I apologize for that. As R2 pointed out, the heart of the issue in this is in discussing the players rather than the game, which is how this whole conversation started, and what we should try to avoid in general.
Did anyone else desperately want a schematic for Abelas' armour? I wanted to wear that ancient armour so badly, especially after I had one of those Elves show up in my Skyhold courtyard.
More on topic, I'm sad about the Lion helm. I know not everyone feels the same. I would have been cool with a mabari helm, too 
Was anyone else disappointed that we didn't get to see or fight any of those Red Lions that are supposed to live in the Frostback mountains? Obviously that's what Cullen's fur mantle/pauldrons are made of. Would have been cool to see one. Instead it was just very angry bears ...

I was more upset that they just 'removed' the helm, now Cullen looks a little strange in the scenes where he should have been wearing it, they didn't even re do them. Also now his armour doesn't really make sense any more, he has a big furry back but for what reason?
I kind of wanted to see that scene from the trailer with Cullen in his lion's helmet chilling next to Morrigan in the game, heh.

It is kind of there, at the Arbor Wilds, he is standing up on the wall and the soldiers are marching below. They just removed the helm and Morrigan and spun the camera around. Still cool though *dreamy hero shot*
*Ahem I just noticed the placement of his left hand*

Yeah, I used that shot in one of my videos. I like that one too.

That was alpha footage. They probably decided they didn't like how it looked.
Theres actually a DA2 trailer where you see Hawke in regular clothes in the beginning and footage of Bethany and Carver running through Darktown.

Well, they are hanging out in the mountains, so the fur's gotta help a bit. It must be the reason he's always in the armour. lol
I think they really wanted to make the helmet work and by the time they decided against it, it was too late to go back and fix his eyes and face in every scene. We got quality animations for him in cutscenes and romance scenes though, so I can live with it.

Which scenes was he supposed to be wearing it? I did notice that his face looks different sometimes but I can't recall exactly when. It is weird that he doesn't wear anything in the beginning if you choose to march through the mountain and he fights with you and during Before The Dawn's temple scene.

The siege of Haven when either Dorian or Cole bangs on the gate, he is supposed to be wearing then. He holds his head as if he is peering out of a low eye slot and his eyes are quite buggy.

I think you are right. They decided to remove it because they didn't like it. I seem to recall people making horrible comments about the helmet too.
I think the problem with showing that alpha footage is that the majority of people always expect it in the game. The next time a game comes out they need to put a disclaimer stating the game is subject to change.

Yes. That was pretty bad.
