Not sure, perhaps there was always a vein of red lyrium there and it grew? Does lyrium even grow over time? o__o

I wasn't going to go into it but since you mentioned it, yeah mum has lupus. Its out of control atm - systemic lupus, so yes she has the joint problems, foggyness etc etc.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I have SLE, also, with intermittent flares. I hope your mother feels better soon.

 

What I find with keyboard vs controller is there's pros and cons. Controller is easier on the joints more immediately due to the amount of finger stretching keyboards take, but my hands can lock up really badly if I lose track of how long I've been holding the controller. It's an issue that sneaks up on you, rather than the constant stretching for buttons being something you realize hurts the whole time. 

 

Like Ophidiae said, I hope they have a narrative mode if it's going to be that difficult. It would definitely solve this kind of problem for a lot of people.

Dear finals week,

I hate you.

 

 

Tomorrow is my last one. THANK THE MAKER!

[ChachiBobinks]

Who would be better at tracking down mages than a mage? lol

Edit: top of page Cullen?

*dreadful, regretting snip*

 

I love when someone does a piece and includes his beauty mark. I have no clue why. Please tell me I'm not alone.

Alright, I don't mean to repeat myself but I don't think you all had a fair chance to see what I have made. It was my first post with the new forums and by the time a moderator accepted my post, this thread was already some odd pages ahead, leaving my little tributes buried. So just in case none of you have seen this. ;w;

ERIC, WE NEED WELCOME COOKIES, STAT!

 

 

 

Welcome! Have a cookie! They're shortbread!

I'm with you. I've always loved his beauty mark. And this Smailika's art.
And re issues with hands, I just hope DAI will still have the tactical pause. With my carpal tunnel syndrome, and a kid, I want to be able to take a break whenever I need it.

I looked up trypophobia. Why?!? Why would I do this!?!? I am now pretty sure I have trypophobia, I can't even look at that stuff without my temperature spiking to 102 and breaking out in a sweat.

This made me look it up, and the same thing happened to me.
There is a lesson learned here, don't look up phobias on the internet

I am hardly new, I've been on the Bioware Social since DA:O, just new to this new format (your welcomes and gifts of Cullen bearing shortbread is appreciated however oUo)

 

Don't you worry, brothers and sisters. If I have time and creativity to spare, you shall see many a fan art coming your way.

I think it's more of a natural defence mechanism. A lot of things in nature that have holes can be pretty dangerous, such as bee and wasp hives, so it's only natural that it should provoke an uncomfortable feeling when we see that sort of thing. I don't think trypophobia as most people know it constitutes a real phobia to be honest and it's not formally recognised as one either as far as I know.

Two things.

 

1. Y'all might want to post over in this thread about Narrative Mode: http://forum.bioware...ive-difficulty/

 

The more of us who speak up and say, yeah, this is a feature that would be really really useful for gamers with disabilities and/or chronic illness, the better. 

 

2. I feel guilty cluttering up the thread like this. Does anyone know if there's a place on the Forum for Dragon Age fans with disabilities to share stories/coping strategies/vent? And if there isn't, do you think it would be useful to start one? Or do you think it would just bring out the trolls? I feel very safe talking here, because y'all are really sweet and accepting, but I don't know about elsewhere.

You can always talk about that here; no one will mind If they do, we'll have Gala or Samara or someone draw the Iron Bull sitting on them

 

You could additionally try starting a group, then advertise the group in Scuttlebutt. As for trolls, if someone says something hateful, just toss them into your ignore list. Voila, troll gone.

[Ispan]

Yeah you're probably right, it just really really grosses me out. To the point where I get really sweaty and really anxious and kinda barfy. 

 

I can't even bring myself to go back and read the other posts about it.  I know exactly what you mean   Ugh, just thinking about trying to avoid thinking about it is freaking me out.  So glad I'm not alone in this.

Okay, this made me misty-eyed because of reasons. Thank you.

It's still there (Mike shows it at 18:19)

I've gotten in the habit of buying the strategy guides w/ Bioware games (ME3 and DA2) it helps a boat load (plus the DA2 one looks wicked) I wish I would have had one w/ Origins, but by the time I thought of getting it I had already done 2+ playthroughs  So long as I avoid the temptation to flip ahead and read spoilers, it works out really well!

I do this as well when they're available. I'm just gonna do the 'forbidden-for-tru-gamers' thing and rock an easy/casual playthrough.

Just throw in a picture of Cullen at the end so no mod can cry off-topic. Maybe some of us will have good suggestions for you!

I should finish that Cullen fic I started, is what I should do. Just ... don't tell my editor, lol!

Our little secret.  

[HurricaneGinger]

My fic is getting there. I started in the middle because writing a beginning is SO HARD. 

 

For inspiration, I looked for tenors singing Ave Maria...did the trick!
