lol, I checked the system reqs for Battlefield 4, and looks like I need additional 4 Gb of memory. Funny, when Skyrim was released, it didn't know what to do with 4Gb I already have. Ah, the progress is unstoppable (or optimization sucks). 

 

Have a little Cullen (old stuff):

Spoiler

I checked the requirements as well and I pass the minimum requirements on my laptop. I'm not even going to check on my other PC because it still has windows xp...

 

Awww, he's so cute!!!

I just adore Justinia as a character. I'm so sad that it seems they might kill her. She never... even ... got her own character tag on fanfic.net... *sniff*sniff* :(


If Justinia is still alive: *gives Anders Sela Petrae and Drakestone*

LOL I think I would laugh out loud if we got ANOTHER good spirit inside of someone like that. Probably like I laugh every time we got into the Fade awake in every single DA property eventho that's a really really rare occurrence.  ^_^

Ya, I was eye rolling as I typed that. lol While I am curious about what all DOES come out of the rip, I think another Wynn situation would send me over the edge. And the waking Fade trips are always weird to me. Once, yes. Twice... eh, maybe. I'd hope they aim more for lucid dreaming though. Maybe something we unconsciously slip into as we sleep but as we're playing we don't actually realize we're in the Fade right away.

My body physically lurches when I'm forced to use Windows 8. I keep praying for a miracle (like give me a choice of operating systems) before I upgrade my PC prior to game launch but I'm most likely screwed.

You do, really? Can I ask... why? :lol: I know she appears at some point in Asunder but I remember absolutely nothing about her. 

 

Also, I hope  she doesn't really die at the beginning of the game because otherwise, who's hosting the ball in my fic? #ZombieDivine #priorities

I think she's more interesting in Leliana's Song. :) I wonder who she had murdered to become the Divine  :lol: She made me reconsider my opinion about the Chantry, she and the DotS, and looks like it's more fun than I though. 

I hope she was late for the party, and didn't die. I would like to finally meet her in person :)

I'll need to get more ram too, according to the Battlefield 4 website. It also said that I'd need a better graphics card to run it on optimal settings, which is what I'd like to do. I've been waiting for this game for so long that I want to experience it the best possible quality that I can! Of course, this all costs money soooo upgrading things could be impossible for me, LOL!

Aw, thanks! I believe it was Meli Landry (idk what her username is in here bc I think she changed it) suggested Hawke for my baby girl b/c I was stumped. I knew I was going to name my boy Ser Pounce the day I got him. I've always wanted a cat named Ser Pounce ever since Anders said it. :) And Felassan's a cool name, plus, he was pretty awesome in TME. :D

 

TIS I, BTW.

Yeah, until I read Asunder, I'd pretty much been  painting her and the Chantry as black hat wearing villains. Made me also readjust a fic I was writing. 

 

But mostly, I just want to meet her, too.

This is also something I'd love to see. Like we've talked about in the possibilities when the Veil is broken and you don't know what's real anymore. All our other trips into the Fade have been pretty obvious in this sense -- probably due to the Fade still being visible around every hallucination and obscured with the blurry Fadey stuff.

Loving the epic Fade Cows, methinks this one suits a stealthy rogue Inquisitor, who uses it to spy on Cullen...

:lol:

 

And talking about the Fadeplosion... what if we were to learn that all of those poor people caught in the blast were still alive and fully conscious afterwards, despite being a char-grilled husk unable to move, kind of what like (probably) happened to Meredith? Dragon Age hasn't been exactly avoiding nightmare fuel thus far, has it?

 

:mellow:

Oh, I would love to see some good Fade deception! Like at some point something unusual happens, and you are not quite sure what it was, but you have quests, and you go on with whatever you were doing, and then you notice that something is off, because Cassandra suddenly shows up in a pink bikini, and Cullen does a pole dancing, and then it hits you, "OMG! It's the Fade! But it's awesome, can I stay and watch the show?" And you must make the most difficult choice in your life: stay and watch until Cullen removes his thong, or return to the real world, but then you will never see Cullen dancing again.  :crying:

I'd totally ride a fade cow into battle. the enemy will never know what hit them  :bandit: 

Also for the E3 thread party, I can't wait to see this place explode in excitement. I won't be able to hit refresh fast enough.

no flying mounts in DAI. One step at a time.




NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

There go my hopes and dreams of my Quizzy riding off into the sunset on a griff with Beardy. :o :( :angry:

 

THE GRIFFONS WILL FLY AGAIN, DANGIT.

 

And ooooh, I love Greg Ellis' new header of his eyes! All serious and sexy!

 

I wasn't gonna say anything, but since you already did... hubba hubba.

 

I was just thinking, if this peace gathering happens at the Sacred Ashes site and the Divine really is one of the people there doing a talk about reuniting Thedas etc, surely Cassandra and Leliana should be there to guard her since an assassination attempt would be high within such a large crowd? Hell, even if the Divine isn't there you'd think that she would've asked Cassandra and/or Leliana to be there for various reasons. Makes me wonder why they weren't at the gathering (aside from the fact that everyone dies, LOL!)

*snip*

 

Did you ever have a cafeteria food fight back in school? And all the kids are going crazy, throwing food and yelling and screaming and somethingsomethingfadecows and stuff? And then suddenly the doors fly open and in walks the principle, and everyone sits down straight real quick, acting as if nothing ever happened?

 

Sometimes we're like that, Lola, when you come back in and we stop mid-crazy!rant to get back on topic. :P :D

 

Wish Granted!

I can't wait either *squees in anticipation*. I hope we get a new gameplay video and a video showing off skyhold or the companions or even showing off Val Royeaux (did I spell that right, I think I did).

ooh a video with gameplay would be amazing. I'm still holding on to my hopes of a character creation demo, even though the internet would crash with everyone trying to get to it :P 

Odd wonderful idea here: What if the 9 days before E3 Bioware released companion videos all sneaky like to really hype things up  :bandit:

Ohh that makes sense; I didn't play Leliana's Song or watch DotS. :) Wow she murdered someone?

No info on that, but I'm pretty sure she did! She's no angel.

DotS is not about her, but it shows how Chantry ladies plot against each other as much as orlesian nobles do among themselves. So I think the Chantry has its own internal Game going on, and since Dorothea won it, I think she's a pro :)

she's not in DotS. In LS, she shows some ... Let's say bardic qualities. She's more than she seems. There was a big controversy when Beatrix named her as successor because of this.

I have started The Masked Empire... I think it's going to have to be read on spurts.

They talk about bards a lot, and I know Leliana is a bard (and already weasels her way into the first chapter....) but ... What is a bard, anyway? A bard is a musician, but they're clearly more than that. Or are they?

They are basically master spies. They are great entertainers and courtesans, but they also gather intel, trade secrets, assassinate, etc etc etc all for the pleasure of the nobles Game. Usually they have patrons they are loyal to, but I wouldn't doubt that many a bards loyalty is quite fluid. And all the nobles know to be wary of any bard, but they are used all the same because being daring and outwitting your enemy (or their bards as the case may be) is all part and partial to the game. Leliana explains it pretty extensively when you talk to her in DAO. :)

Heck, she probably was the one who killed Beatrix. Wouldn't surprise me.

Ah yeah, I'm sure she does but I've only played it twice and it was awhile ago :lol:

 

Okay I think I get it. Courtesans, really?! Poor Leliana. I assume she left the bards if she romanced the Warden... oh, but the Warden is missing. That's awful.

 

I'm only like three chapters into the book and I'm already sick of this silly Game. It's like, I get it, I get it, it's your typical fantasy political intrigue. Do you have to mention it every third paragraph? I've only read about 100 other fantasy books that have this same idea. (And to be honest, political intrigue is my favorite kind of fantasy novel, so it's not a big deal.) I just feel like he repeats stuff a lot. And jumps too quickly from scene to scene. Now we are in some city where there are a bunch of elves and there are all these names aghghgh. Also I want to crush on Ser Michel but I remember someone speculating way back when that he might be Dorian, and now I can't get creepy mustache guy out of my head. Sigh.

 

I'm running on two hours of sleep so a lot of this probably doesn't make sense. Finals week! Gotta love it.

How much she embraces her past as a bard or not is supposed to depend on wether or not she's hardened in DAO. But ultimately it doesn't matter, I guess? Regardless of actions in DAO, she will always end up becoming an über-bard for the Divine (perhaps without the courtesan aspect, which not all bards do, I presume. They tend to have specialities from how it sounds).

And yeah... The Game. Meh. So overdone in Fantasy, IMO, to the point where it has to be handled with great skill, subtlety and finesse by the writer in order for it to hold my interest. Honestly, the first half of the book was kind of plodding to me, outside of parts with Fel, and only because I just liked his character. It got better - in terms of interest and pacing - in the second half of the book.

Also, I really have no problem obliterating the Orlesian nobility and their Game in DAI :rolleyes: just sayin.
