That's some really nice pictures. And Is her head really shaved like that haircut!
*whistle*
That's what I call dedicated cosplay...
Yes. But she did it for this: http://www.wired.com...ingjay-posters/
That it kind of fits DAI is just an enjoyable side benefit.
"enjoyable side benefit"
LOL, you chose those words on purpose, didn't you. 
Still impressive to go to such lenghts for a few pictures.
I only know I wouldn't. My hair has taken far to long to grow for me to actually cut it of... (even if I sometimes feel like just taking a pair of scissors to it - ah, these dam tangles)
I could do Leia though...

I am just scared that they will not feature the quizzy anymore in the next games and since I doubt all can be resolved in a small dlc...that solas might be still doing his thing in da4 with another main character who has no clue or link to him whatsoever.. gah that would make me really sad T^T
There are theories/indications that they original had planned to use Hawke for a longer game set serie. Like Shepard for ME. But the character failed in popularity,so they let us make a new one.
Don't know or sure if it's true but it gives me hope for more stories with the IQ in the future.

I might have.... 
And btw, currently I also sometimes feel like just taking a pair of scissors to... It's nice to have it long but, damn, it's also annoying sometimes.
And to you as well as the next quote...
Oh ok, I was going to say that's real dedication for a single cosplay. But if there are multiple uses for the cut, then good news for her.
...I assume it pays off for her. I got the impression they actually earn quite well by selling their merch and maybe even by showing up at conventions. I don't know, though. However, maybe she really liked the style. I myself do fancy it. If the risk of looking awful (and the time required to fix it again) was not so high I might also try it out. I cannot imagine she would have done this if she did not like the cut.
Well this isn't mass effect where there is continuity and I doubt this will have exception like Assassin's creed 2 with 3 installments. Dragon age will have a new protagonist and I'm ok with that. A new story to bring arise a new hero. I'm hoping it's going to be about Northern Thedas if optimistic. The companions have been questioning what would happen to the inquisition once Coryflora is defeated and the rifts closed, it only leaves a new powerful organization. Their story is complete. Look at the warden or champion of kirkwall. The protagonists will live on but through the NPCS. They will acknowledge their greatest achievements and possibly current events relating to them. I would definitely be amused what the little people thought of the inquisitor because the companions kept repeating that you have no idea how big of a deal you are.I am just scared that they will not feature the quizzy anymore in the next games and since I doubt all can be resolved in a small dlc...that solas might be still doing his thing in da4 with another main character who has no clue or link to him whatsoever.. gah that would make me really sad T^T
I agree that no one should be your entire world but there's a difference between "Solas you can't paint the walls anymore, the nobles don't like it, I'm taking away your paints." and "Solas you can't kill all the elves and call it saving us! The magical immortal who comes back from that might wear my face but it isn't me!" If his plan has the potential to cause Haven level destruction and mayhem then he should absolutely give that plan up and I don't care why.

Hawke was far too much of a Mary Sue for my taste, I much preferred my characters in origins and the quizzy, because you can play them with a very low profile. As it is, I hate some of the more actiony cutscenes where you, say, dodge an arrow or rush into a room and defenestrate a would-be assassin.

Personally, I'm kind of glad that they didn't push through with using Hawke as the "Commander Shepard" of the series. Like Maria13, I really much prefer my Warden and my Inquisitor. I just seem to have more fun playing them. Maybe it's because I generally play as elves (whom I found more interesting and more fun to role-play) and the human-only Hawke character never really appealed to me much.
I would love to play my Quizzy again in DA4 but I wouldn't mind playing a new protagonist either. Just make us be able to choose our race and I'll be happy. (I swear if they make a human-only protagonist for DA4 I'll be so disappointed.)

I know what you mean. Heroes arn't just born, they are creations of circumstances they have no control over. Like the warden or the IQ. They may have the potential in skill, but they don't chose to be what the become.
My fem Cousland would for ex much rather have had her family than to ever become a Warden Commander or a Queen. But the world throws things at her and she does what/the best she can with it.
Hawke alwaus felt to - i don't know - good I guess. But I don't think it was just the character but the game in a whole. To few choices, to much already decided for them (race, the storyline a.s.o.)
Poor Hawke never got the chance to be more.
Everyone can blame Jello for the possible mental imagery, that the following may conjure:
(In WS where neither are romanced) SolasXCassandra? Yay or Nay?
Heh, I really did suspect Cass of flirting with him a bit in some of those banters, and Solas seemed like he was playfully flirting back. Though that struck me as more friend flirting, like a female Inquisitor and Dorian, or Cass and Bull, but way more subtle. But I could see them becoming a thing. They have a great dynamic. They both respect each other deeply. I think, however, that it would take more time than they had together in Inquisition. Solas needs someone to take the initiative to get past his barriers, and Cass is sort of the same way.

both need to be poked, is that what you're saying..
I come bearing Solas stuff!
Working on a WIP, currently at roughly 10 hours and 10 minutes of work on it and counting.
Planning to do a full background, etc, and of course full painting on it. This just just inks+flats.
This Inquisitor is the one I've been writing in Veilfire Bones on the kmeme, Alleyana. She's a tank, so she's plenty strong enough to dip our favorite egg~
I'm working on a tarot card of her too, but since it's sans Solas I'll not spam the thread with it. :3
@Aroihkin
Nice drawing. I bet my Lavellan could do that too. She's a tank as well, sort of (rather a solo warrior)
Just saw the PAX South stuff.
So Weekes wrote the whole Solas romance on his own, then pitched it to the designers.
I... I LOVE HIM.
On a different note:
I was thinking over a lore tidbit while I was waking up and now I can't remember it exactly. Something about the sky. I've been puzzling over the line in the Chant, "When there was no sky, Maker, you were our sky." The Anora sister is saying it every time I walk through the Haven Chantry. Did everyone in Thedas start out underground? Except the elves who eventually brought the sky down?
Or is the sky there actually the Fade? You know how often in the Fade things are hanging upside down. It's like that fresco of the two cities mirroring each other.
This line of thinking reminds me of Skyhold's weirdness. Namely, 'The Place Where the Sky was Held Back'.
If dragons were as prolific as Yavana says and ruled the skies before the Veils, I'd stay in the underground with the dwarves too.
That specific line is weird, though. Doesn't Chantry doctrine maintain that the Maker created the Fade, then the physical world with humans? Or is it just an attempt at seducing him back to humanity with poetic imagery?

Alley was sometimes a solo warrior too. XD
She was my completionist (finished all maps, quests, war table, etc) Nightmare difficulty run.
I took a step into the derided 'Solas Flavor of the Month?' thread to see how bad it was. (I'm morbidly curious.) I got the Colonel cheerfully Coloneling up the place and Oxie making me cough out my drink.
OXCIDANTSHAPPEN:"Solas' flavor of the month" and "Solas' penis" are not necessarily mutually exclusive topics.
Ah dude, you read my mind on that last one
I agree that no one should be your entire world but there's a difference between "Solas you can't paint the walls anymore, the nobles don't like it, I'm taking away your paints." and "Solas you can't kill all the elves and call it saving us! The magical immortal who comes back from that might wear my face but it isn't me!" If his plan has the potential to cause Haven level destruction and mayhem then he should absolutely give that plan up and I don't care why.
I did make the distinction that, even if his plan is a bad one, he needs to figure that out on his own. Yes, his relationship with Lavellan can influence that realization, along with his friendships with Cole/Varrick/Bull/Cass/etc., the events of the game, and so on... but him dropping his plans just because he falls in love and wants to be with that person? I couldn't not see that as incredibly selfish (since I imagine he believes whatever he's doing is for the greater good and not for himself) and weak-willed (his plan, presumably, involves a vision of the future thousands of years in the making).
Edit: If he realizes he's being a stubborn ass and looking at it all wrong, and that maybe it's not his place to go 'fixing' the world, and you know, history of really bad screw ups and all, and gives up his plan for that reason, I'm all for it. Again, I just hate the idea of him dropping everything he's worked so hard for just because his girlfriend said so.
I'm so tempted to leave this video in the flavor of the month thread, but I'll just leave it here... for reasons.
[Solas's flavor of the month?]...I can almost taste it.

This makes me like the idea of the fade being an entity of its own even more. Or worshiped as one. Especially with the lyrium equals maker's tears in the fade stuff. The fade is the mind, and the earth is the body, split from one another.
I like to think what happened with the old gods is symbolic of this. Just headcanon.
Eh, I really can't see it, and I dislike that people take any cordial or warm interaction between a male and a female to have a sexual subtext. Not that that's what you're doing, but it happens so often that I can't help but think of it here. I see Solas and Cassandra as kindred spirits but on very opposite ends of a spectrum of belief. They're both faith warriors championing a better vision of the world and willing to kick over the tables of everything they hold dear and walk a path completely alone in order to do it. Any kind of romantic subtext would cheapen that dynamic, IMO.Heh, I really did suspect Cass of flirting with him a bit in some of those banters, and Solas seemed like he was playfully flirting back.

People got the idea that she flirted with a lot of people. Iron Bull (yea no) and especially blackwall. She respected him a lot is all, being a warden. Oh wait. LOL.
