Or this?

 

Or perhaps this?

Bahh. I have a cute picture of a cat cuddling with some ducklings but I'm on my phone and I can't attach pictures. :-(

Another time, then. It's not like we're going anywhere until the game comes out.

Well, this thread has gone to sleep. We haven't had a poetry reading in ages, so here is one by the great master Victor Hugo (with an approximate translation in spoilers)

 

A une femme

Enfant ! si j'étais roi, je donnerais l'empire,
Et mon char, et mon sceptre, et mon peuple à genoux
Et ma couronne d'or, et mes bains de porphyre,
Et mes flottes, à qui la mer ne peut suffire,
Pour un regard de vous !

Si j'étais Dieu, la terre et l'air avec les ondes,
Les anges, les démons courbés devant ma loi,
Et le profond chaos aux entrailles fécondes,
L'éternité, l'espace, et les cieux, et les mondes,
Pour un baiser de toi !

To A Woman

Child! If I were king, I would give you the empire,

And my chariot, and my sceptre and my people on bended knee

And my golden crown, and my baths of porphyry*

And my fleets too vast for the sea to contain

For one glance from you!

 

 

If I were God, the earth and the air with the rains

The angels, the demons bowed before my law

And the deep chaos with a fertile womb

Eternity, space and the skies and the worlds

For one kiss from you!

 

*porphyry is a dark purple rock that was used for monuments and various sculptures in Antiquity.

Because I'm evil. It's what I do. I tempt people to the dark side.  (Josephine is a dark skinned brunette while Sera is a pale skinned blonde. So yeah, it counts.) 
 
I can't believe I'm the only one who made this connection. I felt Cousland was a bit bland what with being the stereotypical 'noble noble', but Trevelyan offers some real potential with the family being ardent Andrastians. Are they genuine believers or are they just posing to make themselves look good? As the youngest sibling, do I feel proud to pursue the family ideals in joining the Chantry or do I feel like I'm being tossed aside because there's nothing else to be done with me?
 
I get the feeling the Trevelyan Inquisitor was sent to the peace conference in part because they were supposed to formally join the Chantry  there. In what capacity is a mystery. Were we to become a brother/sister? A Templar? A Seeker? If the last one is possible it would make all sorts of interesting conversations with Cassandra...
 
Yes, I do use my brain for other stuff than dirty jokes once in a while. Don't look so surprised.
 
And I can't wait for this gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!!

Couslands for life!!!!

From the Cass thread

 

*Josephine walks in with outfits for the Vivienne's ball. Companions comment on their outfits. Cassandra stays back, silent*

Josephine: Ah! Cassandra!

Cassandra: No.

Josephine: Cassandra, there's no need to be so stubborn. It's actually quite conservative. Especially by Orlesian Standards. Trust me, they'll respect you far more if you wear this.

Cassandra: They'll respect me just fine with my blade at my side.

Josephine: Come now, Cassandra, this isn't-

Inquisitor: *walks over, whispers in Josephine' ear just high enough for Cassandra to hear* Josephine, I know you're just doing your job. I applaud you for it. But you're not going to win this. Let it go. Nothing we say to her could possibly change her mind. *wink*

Josephine: *smiles devilishly* But...she would look just wonderful in that dress...don't you think?

Inquisitor: Oh I agree. Dare I say, she would be the most beautiful lady at the ball. Of course, she wouldn't need a dress for that.

Josephine: Maker, no. But it would certainly remove all doubt.

*both of them turn to see that Cassandra and the dress are gone*

Inquisitor: I owe you one, Josephine.

Josephine: She'll never wear it to the ball. You know that, don't you?

Inquisitor: As long as she wears it just once, I call this a win....*sneaks off after Cassandra*

[Craig Graff]

She comes from the same country as the Crows. It's hard to believe she is all that naive. I could see her lacking decisiveness when push comes to shove. That's why my Inquisitor will be there to help her when everything goes to pot. A classic Brawn and Brain pair. Perfect!

 

I don't know much more than you guys about the current version of Josephine in the game, but I'll be very surprised if she is "lacking decisiveness".

[TheGhost88]

Home from work now so here is the picture.

[Basement Cat]

I hate to be that guy but... (who am I kidding no I don't) Daedric Prince isn't 'prince' as in royalty. It actually stands for principality because the Daedric Princes are literally their realm of Oblivion, the ideas those realms represent, and their spheres of influence on Mundus.

 

Now you guys and girls can get back to your Josephine gushing.

Neither were the merchant princes we were discussing a while ago. They just took the title because they were filthy rich and could pretty much tell the royals what to do.

[Minimooo]

Seriously though, I thought I'd be set on a romance with Sera with my Adaar, but hearing Josephine's VA do her accent in her Ice Bucket challenge video has made me turn 180..

What's the story behind the ducks by the way?

[thats1evildude]

What's the story behind the ducks by the way?

Allegra likes ducks. That's it.

[Basement Cat]

Allegra likes ducks. That's it.

And we like Allegra. There's that too.

[Black Jimmy]

Well, ok then

YOU GUYS GOT ME, I'M A CASUAL

 

A casual who 100% both games

I would be able to say that about all console Bioware games, but my Mass Effect 3 has a game-crashing bug in it so I am forever one achievement short. 

 

Speaking of, which system will us Scribblers be playing on? I'll be on the Xbox Eins myself. 

[Basement Cat]

I'll be playing on Xbox 360. It hasn't let me down yet. I'm always slow to transfer to new consoles. I wait for the newer ones to work out the kinks and drop the price before I buy one.

[Minimooo]

Also to quote(-ish) someone on tumblr (apologies if you're reading this, I cannay remember your name..): But the real question is - are Leliana and Josephine old acquaintances, or are they old acquantainces?

This is me with the addition that I can't afford a current generation console yet haha

If the latter I wonder if Leliana will have advice for us? 

[TheGhost88]

I had the game pre ordered for my 360 even though I have a good gaming PC that could run it only because I prefer using the controller. Then I saw that the PC version would work with the 360 controller. I immediately changed it to PC. So I'm playing it on PC.

[Black Jimmy]

I got my XBox One because of Dragon Age: Inquisition. I then proceeded to play DA:O and DA2 on my 360 anyway.

Very unlikely. Leliana may have been in a relationship with the Warden for the past 10 years and isn't the type to cheat on her partner, even if it's a long-distance relationship.

As such, the only time that may have occurred was during her early bard days. As Josephine was in her mid to late teens at the time and Leliana was in a relationship with Marjolaine, it's highly doubtful the two are anything more than friends.

True that. Her writer confirmed Josie was in the 25-27 range. That also lends credence to the idea that Leliana met Josie after the events of the fifth Blight.
