I would fight Dorian for Abelas' affections....and well muscled man thighs.

 

Why can't we all just share? 

[Avejajed]

pffft google searched GDL DLC (in retrospect, not the best search term I could've gone for) and got "Cheap flights from Dalian to Guadalajara" haha. Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I need to work out my Solas feels in Mexico.

...on second thought, that does sound like a good idea.

He doesn't so much as confirm it as not confirm more Solas recordings so obviously we took that as confirmation that there is!

We don't like funny right now, okay? We're not at the appropriate stage. Try back later.

I refreshed my page, comcast. Howzabout now?

 

Oh.  You'e going to need a tank.  Cass is the only warrior I've taken to the Temple, so I don't know which is the best.

 

(I'm an Inferno/Rift Mage.  Nothing like using pull of the abyss then spamming every spell I have with no cooldowns)

Blackwall's the best tank when specializations are available.

My Lavellan is in her early 30s and hells yeah she cried. But to be honest, they were mostly angrytears. And most of them came after she was a few bottles of Thedas deep with Dorian. And then she and Dorian went about smashing the empty bottles using forbidden magicks while Cassandra stood by making disgusted noises.

Blackwall always swings on my playthroughs. x) Bull makes a pretty decent tank, but I'm gonna be a bit buggered since I made Cass Divine, and Blackwall's dead. I love Bull but I need my girl. D: I should have made Leliana Divine. >_<

Don't make me put you back on list, assman. You're already on thin ice for not recognizing the Princess Bride.

It's quite late here so I'm off to bed; see ya tomorrow after I... wake up.

Do you relate to your Lavellan? I mean, do you play your Lavellan as yourself, based on the same ideas, morals, thoughts etc. or do you make up somebody completely unrelated to yourself? In case it's a different character, why do you build her exactly the way you do?

I find that fascinating because mine usually is me. My decisions, my thoughts, my "back story". (Well, I share Avejajed's approach to back stories, actually.)

Oh, sorry, I thought it were half past 40cl already. My bad.

Bull a tank? You must assign him skills in the sword and shield section then. I keep him alive by giving him skills that build guard, but it's almost never enough for him to truly tank, just survive while he dishes out huge damage. Blackwall when built correctly simply will not die, unless everyone else is dead or something. Cass holds her own and does very well, but blackwall...
 

Blackwall is just a troll on the battlefield, lol. Which is funny since Cass lorewise seems to be better than him and bull.

My first playthrough was pretty much based on my thoughts and ideas. 

 

My current playthough is IDGAF mode.

 

Taking ALL the risks.

[Avejajed]

Mine isn't so much an approach as it is pure laziness.

[Siha]

You can keep him alive? Whoever I have with me, he drops like a fly. If there's a nug involved in the fight, the nug will outlive him.

 

and Blackwall's dead.

 

He can die? You can kill him? I never even once saw that option (in the trial, I assume?). I must be totally focused on giving him to the Wardens.

How do people react, do they approve/disapprove?

I play my Lavellan as myself. I try to make her look as much like me as I can and also make decisions based on what actions I think I would take, or what I might say. ^^

Yup. As I said: I share your approach.

While my playthroughs usually involve basing my choices on what I'd do, I always roleplay the character, with perhaps one or two traits from me. I don't find myself that interesting a character or even a person, so my characters tend to be the more awesome version of how I wish I could be. Except this time around, my Ilaria seems to be a blonde, sassy combination of Trinity from the Matrix and Lucrezia Noin from Gundam Wing, with a bow, and daggers. x)

 

On a similar note, I refuse to believe any Inquisitor doesn't drink. The dude/dudette can sniff out bottles all over Thedas! So, while I wouldn't normally attritbute drinking to any of my characters (a trait I share), that's something I changed with the Inquisitor. x)

I play a video game PC as if I were writing a character, though it's usually more of a character concept than anything too specific. So in the end most of my characters do fall into a range of outlooks similar to me- usually chaotic good types, since I don't like either paladins or evil characters. Not that you can play the latter in DAI anyway.

This is before the trial. Cullen gives you the option to use Leliana's network to release him so you can judge him yourself, or to leave him there. I left him to rot. Sadly, no one seems to mention it afterward. Poor Blackwall. x)

 

As far as I remember no one disapproves, but I'm not entirely certain the approval popups are accurate. There's supposed to be approvals/disapprovals from choices in Judgements according to the Wiki that I don't see. x(

My CRPG PCs have a few common threads running through them.  A lot of them are Guile Heroes of some flavor or another, and most of them do a fair bit of snarking.  But apart from that, they're very different people from each other, and usually different from me IRL.  I've got grumpy Amell Warden, villain protagonist Hawke, my ice-cold Paragade Shep, delightfully trollish Sith Inquisitor, my Dragonborn struggling with redemption...you get the idea.

 

As for Lavellan specifically, I wanted to play an unambiguously good person for a change.  A lot of my recent BioWare protagonists have been pretty morally grey.  Not necessarily bad people, but people who struggled a lot with doing the right thing, and what it means to do the right thing.  The core of my Lavellan's character became her capacity for empathy and compassion; the rest of her character traits and flaws either grew out of that, or I just tacked them on because I liked them

It is known. Good.

You just gotta know how to spec him correctly. Passives and guard abilities above everything.

Yep, dinky shields look hilarious on him. x) He's surprisingly good on Dragons as a tank, where as a DPS he usually dies. I must have taken him to the Hinterlands dragon so. many. times. to hear him say whatever it he apparantly says when you drink with him. He died all the time as a DPS, and never said anything. >_< Damn Bull.

 

If Cass wasn't such a better character I'd try swapping her out for Blackwall and see if I can persuade myself not to let him swing... But... I can't. xD Cass is a girl after my own heart, and Blackwall's an ass. Bugger 'im. Even if I gimp myself on Nightmare. xD

[Mims]

I relate to my Lavellan as a character, but I don't see her as myself. I would make a very uninteresting main character in a game. Usually I have a vague idea of what sort of character I want to play, but it usually isn't until the second playthrough that I really have a solid idea of who they are.

 

Before I really played DA:I, for instance, I was imagining a slightly older character. Someone virtuous. But it turned out that younger fit her better, and I liked the idea of her being a bit more flawed.

 

My Lavellan is a hot tempered, somewhat vain woman who starts off the story thinking she knows everything, only to have all of that ego trampled on. She isn't completely humbled, but she grows into a much, much better person than she would have without the events of the game. Had she not gotten the anchor, she would have returned to her clan and continued to make a nuisance of herself. Perhaps someday she'd make a good leader- but she would always cause tension in the clan, and possibly spread that to other clans. 

 

Being exposed to the wide world was good for her. It got her to get off her dalish high horse, and gave her a playing field where her intellect and tenacity could actually help people. She's the sort of person that needs to be thrown at a problem, otherwise she makes problems for herself to solve. Horrible in a small clan setting, but great for larger than life conflicts.

Oh believe me, I don't blame you Cass is my boo thang.        I used to bring blackwall around all the time, but it's not necessary. And he's just kinda boring.

 

Bull was practicing with a shield in that one scene, so I guess it works XD

As far as I'm aware there is a cap to approval and once you hit it, you'll stop seeing approval messages until you get disapproval from that companion.  It seems to be kind of weird though.  I was trying to track it on one of my playthroughs and it got a bit funky.  It's possible I was missing some approval gains but I was trying very hard to be accurate.

 

Anyway, if you don't see approval from choices in judgement it's possible you have that particular companion at cap.

I try to build a rough outline of a character.  My Lavellan has a loose background sheet.  Some important moments that I made up to sort of round out her character. Why she pushed the Keeper so hard to go to the Conclave.  Since it's not concrete, though, she does trend to be more like me in some ways. So kind of an ******* sometimes but at her core she's a good person.
