OGB?

Old God Baby, it's the nickname for the son Morrigan can have if you agree to the Dark Ritual at the end of Origins. She can also have a regular, non-soul of an Old God child, but that doesn't really have a nickname as far as I know.

OGB?

Old God Baby. The result of the Dark Ritual with Morrigan.

 

Bah!  'd

[Dirgegun]

I want a Hogwarts.

 

Honestly, this was what I thought it was like during my very first mage playthrough of Origins! At least at the very beginning, anyway. Especially with that one line of dialogue that implies only apprentices can't leave the tower-- I think it's one with Duncan, where you can tell him as an apprentice you're only permitted to walk the grounds but not leave the island?

 

But yeah, Thedas Hogwarts seems like the best compromise-- a Thedas Hogwarts that doesn't involve children being unable to see their parents. It could be a boarding school until a mage has gone through the Harrowing, and after that they prove themselves able to defend themselves-- and mages should be properly prepared for the Harrowing! Not just thrown in the deep end. 

 

(Also, can we have first enchanters that don't use underhanded trickery and encourage apprentices to look into magic that will show they might have an affiliation with blood magic? That would be great too, because WOW did I want to murder knife Irving after finding out that crap.  )

Oh okay ^^ Yes it's my canon since two of my Wardens are selfish and one is coward. They just didn't want to die. And one of the selfish one's has romance with Morrigan and kinda wanted baby too ^^;

I had NO CLUE that we called it that. That's dang funny. LIKE!

I think I may kill my Dalish Warden in the Keep. The one who crushed on Alistair but got stuck with "I'm the only gay option" Zevran. He lost Tamlen, then his whole tribe and family, becoming a Grey Warden when he never had any desire to do that... I don't see how things could ever look up for him again. So he may be my US import (modified via the Keep).

 

Then I think I'll connect him to my "good guy" mage-loving Nemanja Hawke who is pro-Circle and sided with the mages.

 

For my second canon, I'll use my city elf who romanced Zevran (that pairing worked better), and got his bestie Alistair to knock up Morrigan for the DR. DA2 playthrough will be Eirik Hawke, who's pro-templar, didn't get on with his sister Bethany, and via the Keep I'll make sure he went pro-templar all the way at the end.

Anyway, a less slippery slope conversation and general ponderment, do most people here have the OGB as canon?

 

I do have some OGB playthroughs and some Ultimate Sacrifice ... I just can't decide on a canon PT. I'm thinking I'll delete all my files and just go with my gut when we get to use the Keep. First playthough is always my FailPT so I wont be too upset if stuff doesn't work out as I had wished.

[CuriousArtemis]

Seriously, with a Hogwarts, who would WANT to leave? Hell, I'd happily throw myself in, if at all possible. /Still waiting for her acceptance letter darn it!/

 

At this point in my life I'm hoping I will get a letter from Dumbledore offering me the position of Professor of Muggle Studies *still waiting*

[R2s Muse]

Clearly DA2 needed the option of "Screw all these crazies; I'm packing up and going home."

 

Or "Y'all handle your own ****. I'm out."

 

Or "QUICK, CULLEN, GET IN THE CAR. MOVE MOVE MOVE!" as you drive off into the horizon.

I wish I'd had these options, too! LOL

I have always though schooling system would be best too. It's dangerous for mage themselves too to be without guidance about their magic and demons etc. So they need help with learning how to use their magic and to learn how to not use it. However I think the circle currently is more like prison and that causes some of the problems since many mages turn to blood magic and in demons when they want to be free or if they are being abused by templars. Templars should work more as police force in my opinion, only hunting those mages who have committed crimes and also investigating over possible corruption in circles (like bloog magic echanters).

Well, also remember that Uldred was in part manipulating Irving, not that that absolves the First Enchanter entirely.

I do. I've got a few runs without it, too, but my canon has him. It might make sense if he turned down Morrigan, but this run also has no Wynne, and I play on Hard or Nightmare, so... yeah. Kinda need a healer.  Also, I like Loghain.

I always have the OGB made canon, cause I didn't want my Warden to die.

[rapscallioness]

THIS! I miss having companions making the first move, I understand why a lot of people don't though. The best compromise is what you just said, a flirt should change how they interact with you! Like Alistair's "has anyone told you how handsome you are?" a simple lil' flirt like that should make them aware it's ok to flirt back. By all means chase our Inquisitors! We like the chase

*snort!* luv this gif. And also, tho, I prefer the flirt to let them know I'm interested, I just hope the "flirt" is not... excessively sleazy sounding.

I don't know. I'm not about to say he wasn't possibly manipulated, but his diary did read in a way that made it sound like he was completely on board with it, while also showing that he knew it was a douche move.

 

I don't know, I just think Irving is a nug humper and I dislike him for that crap. A lot. I'd need more evidence to show he was really, truly, completely manipulated to not want to punch him in the throat.

One thing I have been thinking. If Cullen has been written by Gaider, then wouldn't it be weird if the only(?) LGBT writer on DAI is the one writing the 'straight' romances? So maybe the male Inquisitors will have a chance with Cullen after all, (or just female Inquisitors with Cassandra, which I have to admit I do want).

[R2s Muse]

Me, too. Every time. Not that I have so many DA:O playthroughs. I always found I just made the same damn decisions over again. Like with OGB.  Poor Alistair. So loyal!

Mr. Gaider seems all for making things fair-- and inclusive, of course-- and it's because of that I really feel the NPC romances will be the bisexual ones. That way there's one NPC and one companion choice for everyone.

I don't know that we want to go down the road of assuming that would be deciding factor in how well someone wrote a romance...

I'm not one for perfectly happy ever afters outside of Disney, but I have to admit, I've never not had Alistair do the DR. I've only seen the funeral scene on Youtube, and even then I'm not convinced it wasn't a heavily modded version.

Well, the only confirmed LGBT writer. Sheryl, Mary, Lukas could possibly not be straight. We just don't know.

 

And just because he's the only openly <?> gay writer doesn't mean he has to write non straight romances.
