HAS NO ONE SEEN THIS CODEX ENTRY BEFORE?!?!?!?

 

 

http://dragonage.wik..._Gate_Guardians

I've seen it. There's been speculation, on the dwarf thread a couple of months ago, I think, that it may refer to a titan (which we know almost nothing about except they're mentioned at some point.)

I did Templar side and you can rescue Rhys and Evangeline in a war table mission. It doesn't have to do with Alexius either, I guess their fate differs upon which side you choose. http://dragonage.wik..._and_Evangeline

 

Yeah, they always survive the war. Only difference is who writes the letter, and of course, the focus of it.

 

Connor can't be helped either way; regardless of who you side with, he always disappears from Redcliffe without a trace of what may have happened to him. It's just as plausible that he peaced out from the rebellion and went under hiding with Teagan before things got bad at Redcliffe through one path as through the other.

Just chiming in on the golem stuff...that statues in the western approach look nothing like the Shale (ie, dwarven golems).  I wonder if it is just the word the guy used to describe the creature, but not actually what it was?  Maybe?

 

Time for bed!  G'night all!

What's everyone's opinions regarding the templar/mage choice during Cullen's romance? It's annoying because there's good stuff in each, I really wish they expanded on this choice but ah well. The Mage side was the weaker quest-line IMO but gave you a Cullen specific side mission afterwards. I loved the Envy demon and how you meet cole but you miss out on more Cullen content if you pick the Templar side.

 

Still can't make my mind up, I'm gonna play my mage again but I'm gonna tweak my choices next time. She believes that there needs to be some sort of circle system in place but agrees it needs to be a better place for mages.

 

My cannon is to choose the Mages. The way I see it is, if the Mages from the circle are all there, then there would be children (some could be very young even toddler) and elders and such right along with them. When my Quizzy sees all these children and knows they are in the hands of a Magister, she/he can not walk away. To do so would be monstrous.

 

I love the Templar one and I really like how Cole is a part of it too. Playing through it once helped me like Cole's character as previously to that I didn't care for him. I like at the end when you find out many Templars follow Cullen's lead and stop the lyrium too, but I just can't do it.

 

While I am not one of those who blur the line between real world and game world, I think my background influences this. I worked in law enforcement and with kids in the schools, domestic violence and as a guardian ad litem too and I saw way to many kids who were to small to get away from people hurting them, some of what I saw made me almost hate the human race for a long time and took me a bit to get back to normal me. Anyway, I think because of all that is why I always cannon as mentioned above.

 

Anyway, thats my reasoning on why I always choose that.

 

Of course having more convo's with Cullen and actually I do like the Samson quest better...*talk to Cullen more* and it seems just a better and more interesting...*Cullen* and oh who am I kidding, you get to talk more to him more and actually get him in one mission too....*oooo Cullen* besides ask Varric, its the one reason we are all playing the game right???

The statues that Meredith animated in DA2 were known as "Gate Guardians", just like the codex.

 

looks awfully similar to:

[TheRaccoon]

Does that mean the statues at the Gallows also had lyrium at their core? That's why they were animated??

So anyone else look at this and think Fable III Aurora? With the temple guardians there too?

Thank you! I guess the information I read was incorrect. But still poor Connor. In the end though it is up to personal preference on who's side to choose. I personally think its stupid to choose either the Mages or the Templars. I mean your are at war, I think gaining as much help as possible would be the ideal solution.

 

Can you imagine back in DAO if you could only choose between aiding the dwarves or elves!?!? <shakes head> I think the choice in DAI is more of a plot push then anything else.

OH! Snap! Those Guardians!

 

Wow, um...that is just messed up. Wheels in my head are turning.

[Cantina]

Yes, Yes I do.

 

Can you imagine if DA had Demon Doors

[riverbanks]

Yep. Meredith makes the Guardians "awake" and attack Hawke et al by manipulating the lyrium inside them.

[Inanna Athanasia]

Yes, Yes I do.

 

Can you imagine if DA had Demon Doors

Now wouldn't that be cool, or if they had the gargoyles and gnomes from Fable III too, they were almost as funny as some of the doors.

Good lord I hated fighting those things...

 

Yes, Yes I do.

Oh and the gnomes! They made me lol so much...though I think the gargoyles from II were better!

 

And am I the only one that wished we could have romanced Ben Finn??? 

[Hellion Rex]

Yep. Meredith makes the Guardians "awake" and attack Hawke et al by manipulating the lyrium inside them.

I'm not entirely sure on that front. I don't think they had actual lyrium. The way they are described on the Wiki, it seemed as if Meredith used her abilities with the sword to "insert" lyrium into the statues to give them life.

[Cantina]

OK....so now that the "G" word has been used ....I shall see myself out for a while.

 

Yep..

 

Just going to keep walking

 

Mmmhmm

 

Ignore the creepy little bastards....

 

Think happy thoughts...

Nope...  He was the only seemingly possible NPC with unique looks besides Elliot and Elise...

Well so I am and those "evil little bastards."

Cullen for the top

My sleeping schedule is a mess right now, so I took some more screenshots while waiting to get sleepy. Have several 3840x2400 res Cullen shots:

Grabbed this one of Cullen and my Inquisitor by accident:

I like it, even if her eyebrows are wrong due to me switching mods.

 

Good night (or morning), thread!

So I have been playing around with making my own site for my fan fiction, game related art, my custom game dolls I make. I am still working on it, but would love to get some feedback from all of you if you don't mind. The site is http://www.eternalamor.com/

 

[...]

Nice . Cool dolls . I like especially the one of fem!Shepard in her armor.

 

Regarding the feedback, I'm not a graphic designer but neverthelss I believe that I can give some input. Once in a while I write articles for a website and our team discussed a redesign of our website last year. So I spoke with a graphic designer and learned a bit about layouts and design. That's not much but it's a start. I'll write you a pm.

Hi all!  Just woke up and had a wee brain implosion.  I can't believe I didn't notice the statues in the western approach were like the one's that fought with meredith!!!  I absolutely adore the Western Approach and the artwork there and am always gushing about when I play...how did I not see that before!!!!  And lyrium cores???  How the hell do these fit in with the rest of the lore?  Who made them?  What are they???  Were they like elven sentinels?  Or associated with the old gods...like guardians?

 

GAH!!  I love that there is always something new to discover!!!!   I am officially back to loving Bioware again!!

[MelissaGT]

 

Nope...  He was the only seemingly possible NPC with unique looks besides Elliot and Elise...

 

 

Not to mention he was a little too young-ish for me....it's evil but I ended up marrying the guy that asks you to kill his wife... 

 

I was also hoping to be able to get with the white balvarine guy... 

 

And FYI guys, I got a request for screenshots of Cullen in white finery...I promised I would get some this weekend for her but I will post them for everybody!

I’m more inclined at this point to think that these guardians have more to do with the dwarves than anyone else. It could be that these Guardians are an offshoot of the dwarven golems or vice versa. The lyrium rods definitely sound more like a dwarven creation since it's been implied since the beginning that no other race knows as much about lyrium as the dwarves. Though I suppose the Guardians could be based on Elven magic/technology, they did create the varterrals. These guardians could behave in the same manner as the varterral but the lyrium rods allow people to actually control them if they know how.
