If you want a truly delicious meat though...try some Icelandic Hákarl.
Does usually toxic, rotten shark meat that's been buried, dug out after a few weeks, and then hung to dry out for months sound appetizing? Yeah, I bet it does.
I actually imagine you should never try this ever, Icelanders are weird.

I heard about that stuff. It's right up there with Sardinian cheese...

'notable for containing live insect larvae (maggots)'
HAHA NOOOOPE
Bugs are where I draw the line. Live ones x2. :S
The bit I read of WoT Vol. 2 emphasizes paranoia that Leliana was becoming better than she was as one of the primary reasons for Marjolaine's betrayal, so I guess it's possible she was different at one point...but she screwed her over so very casually, so I'd find it hard to believe she was ever more than the manipulator. I'm still of the opinion that Marjolaine was playing her like a fiddle since day one, and sad as it is, those good times were just part of that. A cruel lie.
Very interesting idea. Has Vol.2 been released yet? I was curious if there was anything good about Merrill in it, myself.
I wonder if Bioware writers sit around and sometimes mutter 'that bloody Warden! They just won't let him go!'
Agreed. I mean, the heroes of Dragon Age have been the Warden (wow), the Champion (cool) and the Inquisitor (Indifferent). Is it any wonder people like the Warden best? *tongue in cheek*
Exactly. If the writers don't want people asking for the Warden back, well, then they shouldn't have written him or her to be so awesome and engaging. They have no one to blame but themselves, really. That's also pretty much the same metric I use as well; the Warden is fantastic, Hawke is pretty solid (and deserving of a better game than she got), and the Inquisitor is pretty meh.
Dunno about Morrigan, but I set my Warden to dead in the Keep once for scientific purposes, and the way Leliana spoke of her was enough to get me to nope out of that playthrough for good. Hell, I looked it up, even Leliana's dialogue if the deceased Warden was just her friend rather than her lover is pretty damned heartbreaking too. "The world seemed so much emptier after that...it still does."
Yeah, inflicting an Ultimate Sacrifice Warden on Leliana is just too painful. That was my Warden's motivation for doing the whole Dark Ritual in the first place; after a lifetime of being selfless and acting on behalf of the helpless, living to make Leliana happy was probably the only time he truly let his own desires override his sense of duty and honour.
I just realized the Keep now has an option to show DAI spoilers. Very nice feature.
Not sure how recent it is. Haven't been on for at least a month.

That was just added yesterday, I think. You can set custom pictures/names/backstories for your characters now too.

I've been to Iceland, but luckily nobody ever made me try it. I consider myself lucky for that. I've heard it's a rite of passage of sorts. :S

Yeah, nothing like the taste of...uh, rotten shark flesh and ammonia filling your nostrils.

I've only smelled it myself. Or a version of it...I wasn't actually in Iceland at the time, so maybe it doesn't count?
Still, I'm familiar enough with what ammonia smells like, so...Yeck, I say.
...I found the ideal Warden cameo. Only one line from them required.

Huh... I don't know if Leliana would be that embarrassed... She looks adorable there though.

She's not embarrassed...she's just...flushed, because of the...heat.
(I dunno, I could see her getting a bit embarrassed if someone walked in on her. Maybe doing it in places where there's a risk of getting caught is her thing, (totally is) but I don't think she'd be too happy if she actually was. :S )
Oh there's plenty of heat going on there!
Mind you, they still have most of their clothes on, so it's not that big a deal. I would picture Leliana would have a different reaction to anyone interupting her sexy times after such a long separation...

Probably. If it was one of her agents or something rather than the Inquisitor, they'd best be running for the hills. :S
...I now have an image of her messenger walking in as the Warden and her are going at it on the table, coughing at the awkward silence as Leliana glares, awkwarly sliding a missive onto the space still open on the desk, and then booking it in the other direction.
They kinda did that for Cullen's romance, except he interrupted just a kiss. That was one of the best moments of his romance.
I like Culen. In fact I really like the advisor team in general.
I like the dynamic between the advisers too, with the banter bug hitting my first playthrough they felt a lot more tight knit than the companions did.
Leliana and Cullen bicker so much in the mission reports, in Jaws of Haakon especially, it's hilarious.
It makes sense. They are the extremes with Josephine being the middle ground.

And she always seems to be ignored whenever she tries to keep everyone focused and professional. Poor Josie. :S
Leliana and Cullen are the rowdy kids and Josie is the long-suffering parent trying to clean up the mess.
Come to think of it, all our companions outside of Cassandra, Vivienne and Solas qualify as rowdy kids that need to be kept in line. Blackwall gets that one moment of epic f-up. He doesn't often make trouble, but when he does... Whew!
