Fashion always wins. Slap some obsidian on him, fade touched and toss him in the fray.

 

Yeah, I've just about given up.     Trying to find some fade-touched silverite with +5 guard, because I figure if it's got to be one of the lower tier schematics, might as well make it as good as I can.  Naturally all the fade-touched silverite I find is the one with the chain lightning on it.

Random question: is anyone else kind of burned out after only one PT? I put my second on hold after arriving at Skyhold to play something else (Murdered: Soul Suspect). Now I'm done with that and thinking about tackling another one of my Steam games I never had the time to play until I broke my foot.

I REALLY want to get the Cassandra romance going and I haven't seen Morrigan's son yet, but somehow I can't motivate myself.

 

Nope. I'm not, at least. I just finished my third 150+ hour PT last night. Already planning my new one.

I could theoretically do what I want but I'd feel embarrassed.

So you may only use those sites other companies block? Great!

We have so much downtime sometimes, we'd go crazy without the internet. I tried reading books (we are allowed to do that) but always come close to dozing off within 30min. I tried brushing up my Japanese grammar but that does the trick even faster... I blame the atrocious air conditioning.

 

Never feel embarrassed for taking a few relaxing minutes now and then through the wonderful matrix of insanity that is the internet. It was made for making office jobs bearable. Trust me, it's fine. Could millions of people be wrong? Never! ;D

Do you think we could make it to page 3000 by Valentine's Day? xD

 

As a gift to Solas? 
Hey, let's try! xD

Can't help you with silverite, but there's fade touched obsidian in the chest at redcliffe behind one of the locked doors. Grab it and leave everything else and it will respawn. I usually get one, leave, come back and grab another, then duplicate them.

 

There's also another one on the dwarven boat by the frostback dragon. I go there personally, to get it at an early level. Requires epic horse riding skills and matrix fireball dodging.

I am.  I'm going to try out that banter mod to run through stuff and then I'm going to wrap up my 2nd PT and I think that will be it until DLC.  I've wandered back into my strategy games(endless legend fun), which is usually what I play when there's a lull in releases. 

[faeofthefellwood]

I like Tolkien's elves a lot, but mostly because the Silmarillion portrays them with a lot more nuance than the saintly Rivendell/Lothlorien elves people usually think of. More Thranduil-esque, or even shadier (Feanor and his cursed sons. Celegorm and Curufin. Thingol, Thranduil's prototype). So I really like the dark turn DA has taken with its elves, and all this lore has made me way more invested in the series than I used to be.

I have fade-touched obsidian, but I'm determined to get the silverite.  I had one before, but I used it on my Dudevellan's armor.

Whoever made this timeline...I love you with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. I could never figure out when Kirkwall (or Emerius as it was called then) was founded in relation to everything else. Now I can run wild with one fact: Emerius was founded about 300 years before the First Blight. 

 

I've always wondered why the veil is so thin around Kirkwall. Certainly, Coryfish's presence is....not a good thing, but that alone doesn't seem enough to account for all that craziness. 

 

http://dragonage.wik...i/Band_of_Three

We learn from the "Band of Three" codexes that the tevinter imperium was deliberately weakening the veil. Kirkwall is built in the shape of a glyph, with channels that function as blood grooves. We also learn that 1 out of every 10 slaves goes missing from the cargo manifests, giving the magisters of Kirkwall access to huge amounts of blood. 

 

But why weaken the veil at all? The magisters of that time would have had unprecedented ease in summoning demons, but also unprecedented vulnerability to possession. Basically, not a smart move unless you have a determined purpose. 

 

I personally think that one logical reason for them to deliberately weaken the veil is to make it easier to enter physically. I think that the 7 magisters performed the ritual to enter the black city from Kirkwall.

Gotta have those two extra points huh?

 

Don't do it... it'll just make the game even easier.

Yes but we are talking gaming here. And a gaming forum. With people communicating with people in near real-time. In my line of work the really funky people are those who read technical reports using more than two colors for fun in their free time.

not me >.<
Played 3 PTs and I'd gladly play another one.. but then my bf would think I'm a psycopath and that I should put my energy to better use doing something useful
But I don't know what this game does to me.. Not sure if it's the ambience or how beautiful and real everything is, and the characters, etc, but it's like when I play it I really feel like I'm there O.o I loved the other Dragon Age games but never felt so into it like in this one..
Sometimes after I would quit the game it would take me a few seconds to realize that I'm "back" in my room, surrounded by 4 walls     

And then I would be like:     

So.. for my mental sanity, it is better that I don't play again until DLC XD

[nikki-tikki]

Back before I read the books I kept hearing about how terrible Fiona was.  I read The Calling and liked her and wondered if her actions in Asunder made people hate her.  Read that and saw her as one of the more reasonable characters in book.  She would've even gone back to the Circle if the vote had gone another way.

 

But I also have a habit of liking characters no-one else does.  Carver, Bianca, Velanna, Fiona...

 

There is nothing wrong with Carver! I love his awkwardness with Isabella. 

 

Gaspard is the realest fucker in that whole country tbh. That's my boy right there. He's a dirty stinking Orlesian Chevalier, but he's a dirty stinking Orlesian Chevalier that the other dirty Orlesian stinkers hate.

 

So if one wants to see Orlais suffer, why not put the man they hate in charge while helping your own cause at the same time? Lol. Plus, he doesn't like frilly cupcakes. And he coined the term rabbit for elves, and while he meant it as a racial slur, I think I have to take that. That is an adorable petname tbh.

 

Gaspard is the man.

 

About Fenris's tattoos, I'd always assumed the reason why he lost his memories was because the pain was just that excruciating, but what if it's got something to do with lyrium? Cole can make people forget after all, as can Solas, and lyrium's tied to the Fade.

 

 

Danarius was the one to take his pre-ritual memories away according to his letter if you return Fenris to him. Everything else after that point Fenris would have remembered.

This made me happy but then I clicked on the first link of my collection of Fenris fics, and this was it:

I finished 3 1/2 but got pretty burned out. This game takes a lot out of you, especially on PC where the controls are so tedious.

 

Now I'm replaying the Witcher and that's tedious, too, since I had just replayed both games before my hard drive crashed and I lost my saves.   But I can't wait until Witcher 3 comes out. That's taking the edge off anticipation for DAI DLC. Then I also remember that Bethesda could announce Fallout 4 at any moment and drop a nuclear bomb on my game expectations. No pun intended.

 

I saw this shot next to the other one from the mountaintop. Solas looking dastardly. Run, Rahel, you still have a chance! Once you see that swaggering butt it's all over.

This led me to this page:

 

http://dragonage.wik...warven_language

 

The dwarves spoke several languages but in present day they are no longer spoken,[1] and only a few phrases remain in common usage. Some of the words have roots which predate the time when dwarves made contact with elves or humans.[2]

 

and then this, where David says a few more things I never knew before:

 

http://forum.bioware...bioware=1&bwp=1

 

Heh, no. The common tongue actually comes from the dwarves. They introduced trade and currency to humanity. 

 

No, they invented a new language to trade with each other. There isn't any one "dwarven" language, though humans like to think of it that way because of the old kingdoms only Orzammar is left. 

 

So it seems dwarves really weren't related to elves at first. June = Sandal and June = god of dwarves theories aren't looking so good now

I was! After I finished my first, I was all ready to start again to make my "canon" playthrough and I remade my character multiple times and everything until she looked the way I wanted her to look.

 

I couldn't even get out of the Hinterlands. The moment I was faced with doing all of those quests again (which was the point, since it was going to be a completionist playthrough), I just internally groaned. Then I started replaying the Mass Effect series. 

 

Unfortunately, the reason I wanted to blast through multiple playthroughs so quickly then is because soon I wasn't going to be able to touch my Xbox One again for months. Now I'm at that point and I can't touch DAI again until late May because the game and my Xbox are elsewhere. Well, at least maybe it'll feel fresher again then and hopefully some DLC will be out!

A lot of the infighting among the Noldor reminds me of what Abelas said, about the elves of Arlathan destroying themselves.  The elves in the Silmarillion might be powerful, immortal, and capable of tremendous magic and craftsmanship, but that was also partially their undoing.  Maybe Feanor was possessed by a pride demon or something   Or a desire demon?  I dunno.  Dude had a LOT of vices.

Though the swaggering butt certainly didn't help
