It's basically how I spent at least ten hours in game.

It's how I spent 1000 hours in Morrowind.

But then I discovered the magic of console commands and an absurdly high acrobatics skill...

I probably have to finish my Lavellan tonight and take her to end game.

 

Sounds like you're taking her to be slaughtered for meat.

I feel like I need to give a shout out to a certain Colonel. He hath created a Lavellan for Solas, and I hath created a Trevelyan for romancing Cassandra. I started my Dorian romance, but I suddenly felt a mighty need to give Ser Killabee's true love a fair shake at romance. He's been accepted into the Geth Consensus, and I feel I must do my part to add to the Cassandra Consensus.

 

Also I basically created the opposite of your character. Shameless flirt with no beard or appreciation for commitment, especially if it involves Inquisitoring. Cassandra will be the one "fixing" him, that's for sure. And then I realized I basically created a noble-born pre-DA2 Anders.

Have you guys seen this? Funny!

Edited to include the full thing. XD

Lol I spent so long on just this.

And then I learned to follow the goats.

This showed up on my social media feed. Halla! (Tell me I'm not the only one who likes to shout "Halla!" every now and then when they see them in-game. Like a big nerd. But cool. Still cool.)

 

The white hart in medieval literature, if you are interested.

 

Spoiler

 The white stag appears on several occasions in medieval Arthuriana; early in Malory, it is one of the three creatures that run through the hall during Arthur's marriage feast in the Tale of King Arthur (1.102).  A white hart comes into the hall, followed by a white brachet, and they are chased in turn by a pack of hounds.  Gawain is tasked with capturing the white hart, and though he succeeds, he also kills a lady, which leads to his oath that he will champion the causes of ladies in the future (1.105-109). The quest sparked by the hart and these other creatures leads to the Pentecostal oath so critical to the chivalric virtues practiced by Arthur's court (1.120). Chretien de Troyes's Erec and Enide opens with Arthur's intent to revive the custom of the white stag, which Gawain explains is that "whoever can kill the white stag has the right to kiss the most beautiful maiden of your court regardless of the consequences" (2).  Arthur successfully kills the stag, but the kiss itself is fortunately delayed until Erec returns to court with Enide, who is immediately recognized by all as the most beautiful lady there (23).  Her arrival thus prevents dissention at court.  Michael Twomey identifies this as the earliest appearance of the white stag in the Arthurian tradition. In this appearance, he suggests, "the significance of the hunt is the affirmation of chivalric and courtly order, which is temporarily jeopardized” (100).  This story is also retold in the Post-Vulgate Merlin Continuation (4.227). 

 
Deer – particularly white deer – often appear in religious contexts, both in Malory and in the French Grail cycle.  In Malory's Morte d’Arthur, Galahad and the grail knights encounter a hart and four lions while in the Waste Forest.  The lions are transformed into a lion, a man, an eagle, and an ox – signs of the evangelists – while the hart leaps through a glass window without breaking it.  The hart here is explained as a symbol of Christ entering the Virgin Mary’s womb (2.999).  The white stag in the Lancelot-Grail Cycle's Queste is glossed differently: in this version, Galahad, Perceval, and Bors track a stag into a chapel, and they find the stag being protected by four lions.  The knights marvel as the stag turns into a man, while they lions turn into the symbols of the four evangelists (the lion, man, eagle and ox, as in Malory). The hermit singing mass tells them that this reveals them to be worthy men, as God is letting them see his mysteries, and explains that the stag represents the resurrection of Christ through its rebirth (4.74).  This is also retold in the Post-Vulgate Quest (5.236).  In the Post-Vulgate Merlin Continuation, Dodinel, Galahad, and Yvain encounter a white stag being guarded by four lions.  They marvel at this wonder, and then Galahad rides off in pursuit of the stag (though without finding it) (5.136).  Though this hunt is not technically part of a Grail Quest, the choice of Galahad as the knight who pursues the stag seems meant to invoke these quests where the stag appears to him.  These hunts are not unique to medieval Arthuriana; as Twomey observes, “the stag hunt, particularly the hunt for a white stag, has various significances in classical and medieval literature, and it occurs in a variety of genres, such as myth, Breton lai, saint's life, chanson de geste, and romance” (100).  The persistent use of the white stag in grail quests, especially French ones, suggests that these deer lead the knights of the grail quest to new knowledge or truth.

The Camelot project out of the University of Rochester is a really good resource. Just FYI.

 

Also @lizasaurus, the halla are watching you.

The noble halla. Guiding the lost soul on an important quest for lost wisdom and tr-*HONK*

You know what I do sometimes? I'm an archer, so I back up against what I want to get up on, turn around, and do leaping shot. 7/10 times I'm where I want to go.

[Illyria]

Help D:
I want to read this now.
But I don't want to.

WAT do I do? D:

 

 

Read it.  Join us.

 

 

So a little off topic. Does anyone know if it is better to make Cole human rather than a spirit? I always end up making him a spirit ^{because Solas says so...}  

 

It depends.  Both options force you sacrifce a part of Cole, but both enable him to move with his life.  My Lavellan went human despite agreeing with Solas for the entire quest because when it came down to the choice she wasn't able to let Cole give up the humanity she'd been trying to encourge.  Another of my Quizzies may act differently (some may not even recuit him.  Those will be sad playthroughs).

 

Spoiler

But making him human and taking him to the final battle and knowing Varric's idea works? That was amazing.

[Avejajed]

That's how I feel.

Ugh I do this all the time, and inevitably one of two things happens:

 

1) One (or all) of my companions will magically appear on top of the hill. Which is great because I can just swap to them, but not without imagining an exaggerated eyeroll at my clearly incompetent Inquisitor.

 

2) Slowly, painfully finally make it to the top only to see the very obvious, very easy path that all the smart Inquisitors take.

And then there are the times I would jump and slide down a hillside because bugger looking for the actual path... just to see my companions running down that path a few feet away from me. OH WELL.

Let us not forget the many horses/elks/nuggs who have had their legs broken acting as an elevator off of a mountain.

Oh man, I seriously only summon my hart to fall off cliffs without killing myself. Sorry little dude. 

[Addai]

Wish my inquisitor would walk more like Cass and less like Iron Bull.

ROFL

Cass could give Lavellan some posture lessons, for sure. Except I feel like those might end up causing bruises.

[BoscoBread]

Wait. You can avoid falling damage by mounting up(I rarely used my mount just because I wanted to hear the banter)???

[Blackout62]

Darn, I was hoping to save this picture for the next Top of the Solas but it's too good.

I wish my Lavellan could look that badass but I know it's not in her character to be so overt.

[Illyria]

It's the best way to get through the Hissing Wastes and get those T3 schematics while underlevelled!  Why bother in going past spiders and Fade Rifts when you can summon a horse and throw yourself into the canyon?

Yep It's how I get around the Forbidden Oasis without killing myself repeatedly. 

[Satsumi]

I feel like maybe we just made a really awesome breakthrough/discovery.

I have visions of the Bioware lurkers out there starting to sweat.  

 

"Guys...guys...they're on to us in this forum.  These guys are smart."

"Hmm, I see.  We might need to...do something."

[BoscoBread]

I just jumped off cliffs screeching 'I regret noooootttthing' and then popped a potion.   Solas was all 'vhenan, pleeeaasse'.   

[Addai]

In the real Thedas, half of Solas' barrier casts would be to protect Lavellan from fall damage. Yep, mine too.

[laurelinvanyar]

It's awful. Your mount's legs crumple and it makes this sad sound like "Mom whyyyyy?????"

 

Sorry Nuggy, Momma needs to get that shard

[Suketchi]

LOLOLOL, There's a guy on the Bethesda's forums who you might be interested in....

 

Claims he looks just like him. Because he doesn't bathe or groom. Hagrid material for you

 

Yes, but does he have tattoos?

 

 

Didn't think so.

Roaming around all over with nothing to do just to get Solas and Cole breakup dialogue. Nothing happeninggggg
