That cookie monster picture describes my life. 

[drake2511]

I always make him more spirit-like, but I'm already planning my next Lavellan (it's the only way I can resist from starting another elf playthrough right away, I must finish my human one! ) and she'll probably make him more human. She will also drink from the well (never did it), because deep inside I hope she becomes a "god" and I feel like this would help lol.

She will look something like this, I'm still not statisfied though, I want her to be older >.< The CC and Solas will be the death of me.

It is insanely difficult to make an elf that looks older looking, without going the old skin route. I didn't want my Lavellan to look older, but I did want her to look a bit more strongly featured. It took forever and I didn't even succeed. I believe the elf has some restrictions as far as nose and eye size that makes it particularly difficult.

My Pandora playlist is hurts me so good today... 

 

 

Spoiler

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

A fragile frame aged
With misery
And when our eyes meet
I know you see

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut

I may seem crazy
Or painfully shy
And these scars wouldn't be so hidden
If you would just look me in the eye
I feel alone here and cold here
Though I don't want to die
But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut
Pain
I am not alone
I am not alone

I'm not a stranger
No I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

But I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I found it when
I was cut

 

Edited to add one more! (It's like Pandora's been spying on me...)

 

 

Spoiler

If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?

Never thought things would change
Hold me tight
Please don't say again
That you have to go

A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Hold your silence
It's so violent
Since your gone

[REF:] All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you

If I had told you
You would have listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away
It would never have been the same
All our time
Would have been in vain
Cause you had to go

The sweetest thought
I had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments
Keep me warm
When you're gone

[REF:] All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you

Arksssss... Now that I look for it, the owls are really everywhere...

 

In this PT I just took Caer Bronach in Crestwood.

 

After I took the keep, suddenly these statues are everywhere. Who in the inquisition puts them there?

 

Is there a secret agent of Falon'Din infiltrating my organisation? *PARANOIA*

I have an archer ready to go that I plan on making those same choices with.  I am still in the process of replaying my canon Lavellan on Nightmare.  It's a completionist play through, but I am getting close to What Pride Had Wrought and I am now stalling because THAT scene won't be long after it, and lol I am just not ready to see it again.  My Human play through is stagnant at the same point.  Working on a Qunari play through right now and she's about to do the ball and Adamant.

Are we still talking about inappropriate fanfics?

From a few pages ago, I would take Dorian, Cole and Bull. I love Varric but I rarely take him places out of respect to Hawke to not get him killed. Hawke and Varric are legit best friends and so my inquisitor will never be as close to him as she is.

I think Cole is too squishy for me to take him most places but I would just for story reasons. Dorian for moral support and Bull for muscle. I see the boys (Bull and Dorian) as being fiercely protective of her. They would never let her go anywhere to meet Solas alone.

Thats my headcanon anyway.

Exactly.

 

They are watching... All the time. 

 

My Quizzi sleeps in this little storage room with the kegs. Or on Solas couch.

i rushed the game. i never rush a game! after Solas dumped my PC, i needed to see what will happen after we kill Cory. so after the Well of Sorrows bit (EDIT: oh i DRANK it, and after the conversation reloaded and gave it to Morrigan, hoping it'll change the outcome ), i just waved off any quests i had and went with main story. only to see the ending with Flemeth...

... and it is so silly; my husband came into the room and looked at me

'were you crying?'

'nope!'

 

also thank you all for the cookies.

Also, I've just noticed that I can't post in the Customization forums. Can someone explain what I should do?

 

I think you have to connect your game to your BSN account. I don't remember how to do that, it's been a while (and I use PC, so it automagically knows when I get a new game through Origin).

Welcome to the club!  I know I had the same reaction after that scene.  I had intended on my first play through being a completionist one, but as soon as Solas stomped on my heart I rushed right through to the end.  I actually had to reload my save and do the scene again because I was so upset (so many tears) hoping there was some way to avoid it.  Yeah.  Then the end happens and I was melancholy and mopey for DAAAAAAAYS after.

Same here.  I saved and promised myself that I'd go back and kill more dragons/seal more rifts/&c. once I knew what was going on, after Solas made good on his promise that clarify everything once Cory was no more.  HE PROMISED.

It may have ended badly. It would explain why he's so against it. 

 

Making Cole human feels more right because we're human but to Solas, there's nothing wrong with being spirit-like. He seems to even prefer them to normal people. It's also important to note that Cole is happy either way and that on both paths we're pushing him to be something that he's not quite become yet. I see too many people act like he was already basically a human to act like the Varric choice is so much better but I think the point is that he's halfway between. It's more down to what we as the player want him to act like. I get a little huffed when I see people act like Solas was so horrible when they make that choice. Not that anyone here does that but I've seen it.

 

I guess human path might also have the possibility of being more dangerous to Cole down the road as opposed to Spirit path. More chance of corruption? Though we probably won't see anything that huge happen based on the human vs spirit choice.

 

Edit: In case it wasn't clear, I actually chose human path myself but that's because I like Cole to be my humany little bro.

Re: Customization: Does it show you own DAI on this account ? Apparently you need to be on the account you are registered as owing DAI to post there

 

re: Cole's spirit track. Is very creepy in game but I think it was meant to be more chiill and relaxed

 

 

Cole appears to be a young man, shy and uncertain, who speaks with odd non sequitors that don’t always make a ton of sense. In reality, however, Cole is a spirit who has crossed into this world, and who is trying to find out whether he is a spirit, a demon, or a real person.

 

Cole is first and foremost compassionate. He cares about people and cannot bear to see harm come to them. He tries to help people in the most direct (and often least beneficial, long-term) way possible. Most of the time, Cole hides from everyone — most people cannot see him, or forget him after they interact with him, thanks to innate magic on Cole’s part. He is only remembered by people important to him.

 

He thinks in terms of feelings and emotions, often unconsciously reading the feelings of others (though never in a way concrete enough to let the player really take advantage of it), so a lot of times, he’ll be speaking thoughts that aren’t his. He also uses synesthesia at times — thinking of how a feeling tastes, or smells, or sounds. When he focuses enough to say something simple and direct, it is often an effort.

 

In his follower plot, Cole can be urged more toward the Spirit or Human side of things, which results in him either becoming more gentle and free-form in his thoughts, or more human and grounded.

 

Cole has a few distinct flavors that show up in almost all scenes. Iâve marked lines with these as a useful shorthand to give general voice feeling, although most lines will also have a specific context that should be respected as well:

 

Sensory: On these lines, Cole is either trying to interpret something outside the realm of human understanding or is reading someoneâs minds. These are going to have a lot of weird sensory crossover. Treat all punctuation here as essentially optional. Cole may be talking in a happy dreamy voice or rattling something off with urgent intensity, depending on the scene, but itâs always going to have this disjointed, run-on-sentence feeling to it, and the actor should run with that and use whatever read works best.

 

Empathic: On these lines, Cole is getting into someone elseâs mind, either lightly (in which case he might say, âShe sees the body on the tableâ) or deeply (in which case he would say, âI see the body on the table,â talking from the point of view of the person heâs reading). These often go along with the sensory lines, but Iâll try to mark them specifically for when weird pronoun usage pops up.

 

More Spirit: Lines marked âSpirit Onlyâ or âMore Spiritâ can sound a bit more flowing and loose, as though Cole is looking calmly and distantly at whatever is happening. Individual lines will have specific reads, of course, but in general, Cole as a spirit is much calmer and more relaxed about everything.

 

More Human: Lines marked âHuman Onlyâ or âMore Humanâ should have Cole sounding as close to ânormalâ as he gets. He usually makes more sense, and whether heâs offering normal advice or arguing or whatever, he should sound very close to ânormal person saying thisâ, with little of the free-association rambling that marks his other lines.

See this is why I needed to come here, b/c I just thought I was crazy.  @_Lucinia did you know beforehand the breakup scene was coming?  

[jellobell]

I also think Solas is lying through his teeth when Cole says "when did you see it before?" and he's like "I didn't say that I had," and let's Cole think that he was mistaken. I believe 100% that Solas has seen a spirit become more human and is just being a fussy McFuss pants

My interpretation was that he had seen it before, but that he'd also seen a great many more instances where a spirit going against its nature caused it to turn into a demon, and that he was still really rattled by the death of his friend and what happened at Adamant.

 

Maybe it was just the particular way I paced the game, but I did Solas's personal quest/second romance scene -> Here Lies the Abyss -> Cole's quest. And with that sequence of events it makes so much sense that Solas is distrustful of Varric's solution. He's still grieving, and all-around bitter about people's ignorance of spirits. I mean, even Stroud he would be in favour of the whole demon army to kill the archdemons thing if binding the demons didn't also bind the Wardens to Corypheus. Nobody gives a sh*t about the feelings of the spirits in question, who definitely did not sign up for this. 

 

In the end, though, I made Cole more human. I think it was because of his insistence in the Fade that he'd left with a purpose, so he could become "more real", and Spirit!Justinia's talk about how pain is necessary in order to grow. I think both options are appropriate, but I like the trajectory of his personal story when he becomes more human. 

[Uirebhiril]

I think Cole is too squishy for me to take him most places but I would just for story reasons. Dorian for moral support and Bull for muscle. I see the boys (Bull and Dorian) as being fiercely protective of her. They would never let her go anywhere to meet Solas alone.
 

 

Hah what. Outfit Cole right and give him a pair of bitchin' daggers and he packs a hell of a punch. He's my main DPS while Solas and I are ranged. Tank is whoever can raspberry the bad guys and survive long enough for Cole to backstab them. It is awesome.

Imma agree with SamanthaJ that yes, some really really are. Smut, sure, fine. Link away. Dubious consent, perverted behavior involving children, animals, or anything in relation to that? Noplz. People who want it and can, er, appreciate it know where to find it. The rest of us will prefer to live in ignorant bliss and accept any mockery for having boundaries.

But the post game depression was just stupid for me lol.  I am kind of embarrassed about it tbh.  For 3-4 days after I finished it was all I thought about.  Anxiety over Solas' fate.  It was ridiculous, lol.  Life was rough, because of a video game, lol.

I had NO clue.  I went in spoiler free.  I suspected there was more to Solas than being an Apostate.  The breakup was devastating.  But it was the end and the after credits scene that reallllllllly upset me.  Stupidly attached to Solas.  Terrified of what's to come.
