I shiver in anticccccccipation.

So we are trying to find excuses now? Really, I don't mind the quests. But BW did not quite go out of their way to make these quests sensible considering the character. As I said, Solas' quest is not as bad as Bulls (why the heck do we not just walk those five steps over to his guys (who are only outmatched 1:2 anyway) and help them?) but it is also not really convincing. He could have gone there to see what is going on. Besides, how long have those mages waited around the Plains already, immobile and frightened to death on that open, unprotected, and completely indefensible space, before we finally arrive and see what's going on?

No.

I think the quest makes sense. He is an integral part of the Inquisitor's squad and unofficial Weird **** and Hipster Arcane Knowledge Advisor. He could go wandering off on his own, but why should he? He has the resources of the Inquisition at hand, and the Inquisitor them self. While prideful, I don't think Solas is one to charge in bull-headed into a largely unknown situation. I don't see it as being much different from the Inquisitor dragging Solas around on Hinterlands fetch quests. As badass as they all are, they need meatshields back-up.

I agree that some of the quests are  . Bull's in particular. I'm convinced that the whole situation was contrived to test Bull's loyalty in addition to testing the waters with the Inquisition itself. Except it seems absurdly wasteful to risk an entire dreadnought for the sake of a single Ben-Hassrath, as a loyalty mission. And how easily the ship goes down to Magisters raises a lot of questions about the Qunari's naval dominance.

Maybe the Magisters stick to land, because a good volley of gaatlok can take down a ship, and a lot of Magisters haven't been leveling their Alteration enough to bust out Water-Walking? It would explain why all further mainland invasions have failed. The Qunari can't defeat the magisters head-on, but they're enough of a danger that the Magisters, few in number, aren't willing to risk open confrontation either. It would fit with the general cold war vibe they have.

I've never written smut before.

 

I never knew it would be this embarrassing.

 

I'm going to take a break and have some iced tea now.

Why did my mind suddenly started to wonder how would Abelas look in a Frank-Thighs-Further outfit?

You ever have that moment where you're simultaneously reading this thread, reading up on Genghis Khan's rise to power, looking at the puerty pictures of Constantinople in Attila: Total War, having an existential crisis because you were in awe of how many stars there were on the screen in Space Engine, but they were actually all galaxies, drafting Coryflora fanfiction, trying to balance in your old comfy chair, and wondering if Dejajave is still pissed at you for pretending like you had any idea who Kenzi was, and debating with yourself whether this all means that you're awesome at multi-tasking or really awful at it?

I'm determined to get to page 3000 because I'm tired and I missed page 2000.

I'm giving you the silent treatment for another hour.

[Avejajed]

Also: I know Avejajed and Dejajeva are both difficult to remember and I am comfortable with being called by my actual name, Her Royal Highness Princess Wonderful Badasse.

Or Jess works too.

I can totally handle that!

UGH. So last night, we were talking about actually MAKING a Dragon Age dating game. I mean, there are enough artists who get on the draw chat, enough of us write that this could totes be a thing.

Unless Bioware has copyrighted Swords & Shields, I vote that's what we name it. When/ if we get around to making it.

I need this in my life.

 

EDIT: I also skipped about 20 pages because it went back round to smut talk.  Did I miss any good theories?

Agreed. Not sure if I can contribute but I support this wholeheartedly.

 

Edit: ToP Solas! (1 more til 3000!)

[Siha]

I think the quest whatever its incongruencies aims to tell us something very fundamental about Solas ...

 

Which is just what I said!

 

I think you're becoming my favorite person on this thread.

 

Hush! You know the Colonel's going to be jealous and we will never hear the end of it.

 

Maybe the Magisters stick to land, because ...

 

I don't actually question these quests or try to analyze them. If I had my brother play that game he'd be out of his mind seeing the... inconsistencies... in military tactics applied. Gladly I am not my brother and can simply ignore it without getting hung up on it. I only notice.

 

The things this thread does to my brain...

 

I can sing a song or two about that. When I came here I was a perfectly normal human being enjoying the bliss of anti-social, communication-rejecting indifference.

You must skip a lot of this thread.

 

And if you think that any dating sim this thread would come up with wouldn't have smut....Not if Liz is in charge. It might be Abelas smut though.

 

See: Below. lololol.

SO... Do you want to know how this all began!?




I have named the ship. NOW LET US SAIL IT.

Also....this was playing on my ipod...COINCIDENCE?! I THINK NOT!!

[Colonelkillabee]

Hey, I'm gonna make it to 3000 after all! Good morning. *Yawns and slaps water in face*

[Colonelkillabee]

And Killabee, I did you some Lavellan. I can make her wear less clothes next time.

Definitely, but this was good too I'm calling your bluff though, I bet your lavellan is camera shy   Show us some skin!

 

Colonel would be proud of my Amrod...

 

 

Get 'em! "Shall we read another?" Lol

 

 

 

Hush! You know the Colonel's going to be jealous and we will never hear the end of it.

Out of likes xD
I like Abellan. It sounds nice

[Taelaa]

NOW KISS

 

I just forgot my name. Sheesh....

I want to add that he does sometimes post progess pics on how he made it.

 

 

Thanks a lot for this, it helps me to see what steps these awesome people take one by one :3

[Caddius]

Ah, Zevran, the great diplomat.

[Taelaa]

Speaking of the reunion, though, I guess I could post this:

 

 

Only six hours of work on it though, so be gentle. Also my brain seems to have decided to start spitting out sequentials again, so this is probably just going to be a single panel in a... four? page comic. Probably. (It's because I took the hour and installed my old comic fonts on this new machine the other day, I swear, I cursed myself.)

 

If we do get a reunion/some kind of closure in canon, I'll probably roll with what they give us (unless it sucks) as "what happened". This is just... to give my brain something to gnaw on in the meanwhile. A backup plan, if you will.

 

 

 

 

True, I guess the Anchor just doesn't feel that relevant outside of dealing with rifts, to me. As an attack, it's not much different than regular spells, and they certainly can't risk throwing themselves and others into the Fade again without another "do or die" moment.

 

I suppose the Well is more significant, but I personally rolled with the fact that Solas is supposed to have 'begged' you not to drink it, and let Morrigan have it in my 'canon' game despite not getting the actual dialogue out of him.

 

Most of what the Inquisitor always has, no matter the origin or choices made, is a whole heck of a lot of loyal followers. Like I said, the Warden certainly doesn't have an army. Let alone one that could most likely conquer all of Thedas. Skyhold is basically its own nation, by the end, because "who is going to argue".

 

But the anchor allows the Inquisitor to open and walk physically into the fade. It's also all that's left of Fen'Harel's focus orb power thingy. I can't believe we've seen the last of the Inquisitor.

[Maria13]

Ah, Zevran, the great diplomat.

 

And Isabella...

[Caddius]

And Isabella...

Well of course she manages to squeeze herself into negotiations just as everyone's trying to claim middle ground. 

[Colonelkillabee]

It's not my fault you drove her straight to me.

You keep telling yourself that

 

 

Well, I heard threesomes are fun?

Bah, too much work. And avejajed couldn't keep up anyway   Besides, I'm a one vhenan guy

Not bad The cut's kinda weird though. I bet Warder would like that...

Huzzah!  3000 has not yet come and gone.  Between this thread and The Last Court I kicked my kids out to school an hour ago for a single, glorious day of DA:I alone and I've not yet turned on the TV.

 

I do think Lavellan means a great deal to Solas.  Everything he saw before they got close confirmed his belief that elves have turned into a mockery of their former selves and that his sealing away the pantheon was wrong.  Then she shows him that the elves are not a uniform mass of uselessness and ignorance but are individuals, people who deserve a chance to have better lives.  In short, she fundamentally changes his despair at the loss of everything he cherished about "his people" by showing that, despite the differences, he can still connect with and love the people who have evolved from them.

 

Whether that's enough to change his plans in any way I don't know.  I would hope it alters the most apocalyptic leanings into something a little more...life friendly.
