So far I'm finding quite a bit of extra diologue as a templar...even more than when I played a mage. I think it has the most yet.
Interesting. Does he say anything about being a templar on your date like he does when you're a mage? I played as a 2H warrior but I didn't choose to be a Templar, went with Champion, because I didn't want to upset Cullen.
Re: recording, slightly off topic but Alan Drifter13 linked this awesome video about who is voicing whom in DAI in the "Dagna and Bianca" thread. I could listen to that all day, so I thought I post it hear as well. Since I have only just started with my English playthrough I was surprised that Krem is voiced by Jennifer Hale. And to get back to Cullen, Greg Ellis is in the video, too.

I haven't gotten that far yet. I will be sure to record it!
Console patch is live today. I don't know if I'll have time to play today, but I'm pretty excited about banter being fixed.

Did someone say "David Gaider blog post" and "handy link?" Here you go!

Oh wow I had no idea this existed. Thanks for the links!

Wish it were fixed on PC 
I hear a little more than my first playthrough, but usually only one per map (no matter how long I spend in that map). And never heard anything at all in Fallow Mire.
HOLY HELL, THEY MADE A GAIDER ARCHIVE!?!?!?!!?!?!?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
I'm almost positive that that's phaonica's work, which is fabulous. She was working on trying to get it all via some kind of code, but someone correct me if I'm wrong.
I like this one especially for some reason!
You're laurelindebear? I wasn't sure! 
So, my Lavellan said some pretty nasty things to Blackwall during the prison scene, but she took him back. No Cullen 'mance this playthrough it looks like (unless I change my mind and go back 
)

Funny how some of the VA resemble a bit of their DAI characters Its a very nice video
PS I WANT CASS'S VOICE FOR MY INQ AND ALSO FLEMETH'S 
Sorry for an OT question, but I've been thinking about commissioning some work and I have no idea where to start. Have a lot of you guys commissioned work before? I found an artist I really love and was checking out prices and I almost had a heart attack when I saw how expensive it is....like $1,000+ for two characters from the waist up.
After I saw the price I was like NOPE. In general, is that a normal price? I understand that's how artists make their livelihood, but that's a lot of money to invest.

Errr I guess no? I've seen several ranging from 15 USD to 80 USD. The one I really like was around 30-60 USD.

That's completely reasonable - I wouldn't even mind up to a couple hundred. I guess I just have no idea where to start. I've only come across one artist on DeviantArt that I liked and had pricing. All the others had no commission info or weren't taking any.
I just got my tax returns so I was thinking maybe I could use some as a treat for myself before the rest goes to paying bills.
You're laurelindebear? I wasn't sure!
Yep that's me! Regular 'Laurelinde' gets taken pretty fast so I have to improvise a lot of places. (I tried *so* many Twitter handles, you wouldn't believe it.)

I've commissioned a few things over the years and prices generally vary dramatically based on a number of things. Size/detail is the obvious one; larger works, works with more characters in them, works with detailed or complex backgrounds all take a lot more time I think, so they cost more. Bust portraits or waist-up shots with only one or two characters generally cost a lot less. Medium affects it too, although that can go either way IME - some artists charge more for digital work/color and some charge more for physical works on paper or card. I would imagine some of it just boils down to what they do more or less of and therefore how many hours of labor go into a piece.
Beyond that I think prices tend to reflect what artists feel is an accurate reflection of their skills, and then probably how much they rely on commissions as a source of income. Artists who spend a lot of time on concept contracts will probably charge more, because they have a lot of interest and less free time than someone who just draws as a hobby and/or has another regular gig of some kind.
I have commissioned Aimo for sketchcards a few times (thinking of commissioning her again for a Cullen/Quizzy card, if I can decide on a pose!) and her prices are very, very reasonable considering her level of skill/experience, to me (they run $25 per card.) The woman who drew the picture linked above also only charged $30 for that and the actual image file she sent me is *massive* - so I can easily use that picture as PC wallpaper or what have you. There's no background or anything, but it's fine for my purposes! I would quite happily recommend both of them for commissions, my experiences with them were very positive and professional. 
If you have a look round tumblr and Deviantart you should be able to find some people whose work appeals to you and hopefully are in your price range. The really top of the line artists, yeah, you'd need to be loaded! I look at some of the custom plush people make (where materials are a lot more costly as well) and just dream, because there's no way I can justify spending $200-$500 on a fuzzy pony or something (sadly. I'm pretty sure me being an adult was an egregious error on someone's part.)

You could always contact whoever you are interested in on Devian and give them information about what you are seeking and ask if they be willing to create a commission for you.
Sometimes artists put up a price and it can be lowered. Maybe that price is so high because the artist thinks its going to be hung in a public place perhaps.

Uh, wow. No that is not normal lol I'm sure that artist must be something!!
I've seen anywhere from 5-35 bucks for a commission. This is on Tumblr.

You forgot a little term. I helpfully added it to your post!
I am going to get the patch for DAI...I swear if it screws up the banter on my PS4, ya'll gonna see Zarro come unhinged...and no I am not on any cold medicine today.

Usually artists bill based on [ the time they expect a piece to take ] x [ paying themselves what they feel is a fair hourly wage for their demand / experience level ], so I wouldn't recommend asking to haggle. Definitely second the recommendation to ask even if someone doesn't have rates posted, though!You could always contact whoever you are interested in on Devian and give them information about what you are seeking and ask if they be willing to create a commission for you.

Thanks for the info! I may be using the wrong terminology, but I really like the "painted" look (like Greendelle's stuff) or even super-detailed sketches. I really love the work you had commissioned (shown above), but I think I would want a background. I've been following one artist on dA for years and I've always been in love with her stuff. Her prices seem very reasonable. Alas, her commissions are closed. I guess I'll keep an eye out on Tumblr til I come across someone I like that is also taking commissions.
So, what do you do in terms of process? Do you give a description of what type of scene you are looking for and then a screenshot of your character for reference?
Uh, wow. No that is not normal lol I'm sure that artist must be something!!

Thanks! It's good to know that commissioning something isn't necessarily out of my price range. I'd love to have something done - or a couple somethings.
Ahhhhhh, adulthood. Ain't it grand
Ugh yes...most of my tax return is going to paying off the $3500 vet bill I had to pay for my doggies surgery in December.

Ooooh thank you!

I hear you. My parents were kind enough to pay for my cat's second surgery. It's weird but I'm hoping there will be a third surgery because that means she'll still be alive Her surgeries so far have only been a few hundred dollars a piece though, thank god.
Well, to keep this Cullen related... I'm foaming at the mouth (okay not really) to get off work and head home and start working on my 5K fic some more It's very unusual because normally I have a story all planned out, but I'm not really sure how this one will go. I mean I have a vague idea, conversation with Cass followed by conversation with Cullen. But I kind of wanted to get Leliana and Vivienne in there, too. And maybe more than just ONE scene between Cullen and Auren. I don't know. It can't be too long since 5K celebration is coming up soon. My fic writing is rusty

Hope you doggie is well. xx. I have two black labs.
