And this is a bad thing because...?

I know right?

 

Honestly, I'd make her Empress if I could. Gaspard was the next best thing.

Oh ho hooo~ I haven't done that War Table mission in my current run yet. This is Jerk Hawke's world state so maybe this would be the perfect time to let Seb try and take Kirkwall and get Leliana's agents close to him.

 

I absolutely despise Sebastian, but between him and Kirkwall he is probably the lesser of two evils.

 

Kirkwall can forever suffer his preaching *evil laughter* The ultimate punishment.

Aw, it wasn't Kirkwall's fault that it was built on a hellmouth.

Well, just being an elven apostate already got you -30 court approval (iirc). So dancing with another one likely wouldn't do you any favours. Solas also isn't influential enough to pique the court's interest, and at that point in the evening he knows that the Inquisitor should be endearing herself to the court.

 

Of course, once everything's dealt with then you don't need to give a sh*t what the court thinks and you can dance with as many elven apostates as you want.  Most satisfying part of the night.

 

That's what I always though.  I just wish I could point out that we're both elven apostates.

 

I wish the option to relax with Solas wasn't filled with such horrible clipping because I'd like to take that.  Seems odd that it clips so badly when it was only made for elven women (I can understand clipping issues in Bull's scenes (if he has clipping) because of the fact that Quizzy could be any race, and male or female).

This is awful, but. I imagine the reason is because the Orlesian nobility wants to think that they have you in 'their' echelons. They can't do anything about the fact that you are an elf. Andraste herself chose you...or at least, the commoners think so. But they can still make you theirs. Nobles tend to fetishize elves. They can dress you up, have them play their games. 

 

Dancing with another elf goes in defiance of that. It doesn't matter if you are both apostates, it shows the court that you aren't yielding.

I'd much prefer the cuddle option too Illy, I hope it gets fixed ...it's so sweet.

So easily susceptible human urges?

 

If you were a gym rat, are you the type to use the gym's mirrors to stare at a toned guy's butt/abs lifting weights or would you make direct eye contact while he's lifting?

 

Go there and ask him if he needs support for the heavy weight bench press?

 

And: simple as in "catching a pun in mid-air and cleverly twisting it so it compromises the jester". That sort of "simple minded".

 

 

Washington's a nice enough state. I don't get around much, but I'm content with it.   I know we get mistaken for Canadians occasionally.

[...]

 

Sorry to rant a little, but I'm still torn between admiration and horror for just how well Anders' plotted everything out.

 

I've not yet been in any place that was actually bad. Oh, well, maybe once. But it was not Washington. (I have never been to Washington.) (But I have also never been to Canada.) (I hear it's beautiful.)

 

I am not sure if I really believe Anders had such a well thought through, complex plan. It rather felt like "I light a fire and hope the right people catch a spark". Maybe not terror, as terror means to cause constraining fear. Maybe rather a call to arms. But it never felt so cleverly planned to me. I can't actually explain why. Maybe because it involved (a) killing innocents, ( killing somebody who actually wanted mages to have a good life, © targeting a religion many mages believe in themselves. Exposing Meredith, yes, that was a smart approach (though there should have been better ways). But... I don't know... the way he reacted, the self-pity and sitting there like a half empty sandbag... almost jumping in joy when you force him to work with the Templars to make up for his actions... Maybe it's just because Anders' whining had annoyed me throughout DA2 (which is a pity because I so loved him in Awakening) but I would have expected a "ruthless revolutionary", who had planned so strategically and coldly, to face the consequences with more mutter conviction.

Eww, what a horrible thought. Fecking Orlesian nobility...need a slap.

WHAAAAAAT

 

*scurries off to IMDB*

 

*sees terrible review and is now conflicted*

 

Haha, yeah I couldn't bring myself to watch it either. He's also in Torchwood, which I could never make myself watch even though I love Doctor Who. And, I found this too funny, he's the front man for a metal band, so if you want to hear Solas singing (if you can call metal singing?) check out this link http://www.bluegillespie.co.uk/. Fangirling over "the voice" is never as good as you think it will be.

 

I'll probably just do another Lavellan playthrough to stop myself from pondering what became of my inquisitor after the defeat of Coryphy-fish. I get the feeling she wandered the fade in search of him and was taken by a desire demon. Or maybe he saved her from the desire demon and shouted at her for being so careless until she began to cry and..and.. oh god, too sad. I'm gonna go into the fort for awhile and sob.

Yeah... This is something I have Lavellan talking about with Solas in a Halamshiral-set fic (it's mostly them talking about the Game and flirting).  She's angry because she's the 'right' kind of elven apostate, and Solas isn't.  She knows that her Dalishness and magic are tolerated because she's the Herald, but she's always going to be the Dalish savage to them.

Ok, I think I just found something really cool....oh god, that voice!

Edit: Ok, I bought it and it's like having Solas read Lovecraft to you. So hard to focus on the words when you just want to drown in the sound of his voice.

Rivalemanced both Anders and Fenris to watch them bicker with each other. Ditched Anders, stayed with Fenris (in what is a pretty messed up relationship)

 

How?! Once in bed with Anders, Fenris would never look at my Hawke again. How did you do that? The only thing I could do was flirt, have sex with Fenris, have Anders come over but throw him out. I could not actually romance Anders and get back together with Fenris. Once Anders, always Anders. Or so. Do tell how!

 

Most of the things I did, too. Except for the bomb. I usually went sarcastic-aggressive, I probably did not pick a single diplomatic line. Still, I was a good person and never felt like messing up. For me, making a decision (e.g., to be a douchebag) is not "messing up". Messing up is rather "doing totally stupid things without actually being aware of that". My Hawke never did that. (Except for ignoring Larius, alright.)

[jellobell]

On that note, was it a hellmouth BECAUSE of how it was built as a giant glyph with blood-letting sewers or was it built there specificially because it was a hellmouth and the city's glyph structure was made to utilize that to it's advantage?

I think it's the latter. I recall codex entries in Legacy talking about how the veil had always been unstable in Kirkwall's general area, and how imprisoning Cory there just made it worse.

 

As soon as I read that I thought, "AH-HA! This explains the entirety of DA2!" 

[CapricornSun]

Solavellan art time.

Cullen's war table choices.

 

 

'No, this is ridiculous'

 

'Let's send heavily armed soldiers to deal it.'

 

'Yes, but what this needs is more weaponry'

 

'Do we need allies?  March!.'

 

And so on...

 

And sometimes he was just so damn right. And in the cases where not.... well, no witnesses left, no problem.

Oh goodness,it's been ages since I last posted here,with the new semester starting and me moving back.
So did anything new happen in my absence,any interesting updates?

[nikki-tikki]

I'm tempted to import a worldstate in which Anders lives just so I can help Sebastian annex Kirkwall.

You basically get 3 options. Don't do anything. Infultrate his advisors and discourage him from attacking. Or send troops to help Aveline. At least those were the options in my first playthrough.

Dorian: You know Varric, I've been to Kirkwall.

Varric: Yeah?

Dorian: Bit of a shithole.

Varric: ...yeah.

 

Seriously, Kirkwall is like the Silent Hill of Thedas. Bad things happen there. Do not go there. I would not be surprised if we see it again though.

Umm, we found out that Solas uses nail polish, for one thing. XD

I will LOVE to point out that Solas has pink nail polish.

Woah. DA2 suddenly makes sense to me. It always felt off to me in the narrative sequence of things... But dang.

Yeeep. Poor Hawke never did have a chance. Kirkwall is a place where everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

 

And the narrative of DA2 makes a lot more sense if you think of it as about three seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer put together.  Hawke and co. are the Scoobies. The end of each act is a season finale. And then the show got canceled before the final season could be filmed.

This. I recall a couple conversations about how surprisingly non-vulgar the Inquisitor was.

 

And yeah, you're right about nobles fetishizing elves. There was this bit of ambient dialogue that pissed me off so much. One noble talking to another about seeing a pretty elven serving girl, and how he had to get himself one of those. Ugh.

Haha. I feel like someone was trolling with the models. 

 

But I am fine with this being canon, that is the type of shenanigans my Lavellan would pull. He'll notice it a week later after the final battle and feel sad. But then also do a thorough body check for anything else she might have punked.
