They've decided it's more a test of manliness and resilience to run around in leiderhosen on special occasions.

 

I love lederhosens. Especially leather ones with rhinestones on them.

Oh man. Everything's better without those pajamas.

[jawsisinmywc]

That's a typical German man on a mission to prove his manliness by donning strange garments that invite ridicule. If he gets into fights and beats people over it, he's manly. If he ignores them in dignified silence, he is made a British man.

Actually Germans are some of the most peaceful people I have met (Im American). Fighting isn't that common. We (I live in Germany) actually have most problems with Brits and Americans at the beer festivals as far as throwing punches go.

And just so I stay on topic, this has been floating around in my head: does anyone else's Lavellan get their feelings hurt when Solas alludes to the fact that the Dalish and/or city elves are not his people? Same thing goes when Abelas is all like "You are not my people".

[Mims]

Whenever Solas says 'you'll see', I can't help but wonder if that's implying future comment or straight up breaking the fourth wall.

My Lavellan gets annoyed and just wants to ask, "Well, who are your people then?  :angry:"

 

But underneath that anger she does feel rather hurt.

Saw German and had to post my theme song:

Germany rules because I was born there of course in the dead of night amongst the howl of winter's breath.

I know.  That's what made it funny for me.

So, to go off-topic, because holy crap this was a close one.

The last two hours of CKII have been hair-raising. The first few decades, my de Normandie kings usurped Anglo-Saxon title after title, making all of the lords Norman, struggling with the vile Cerneu Welsh family, the former rulers of the House of Godwin, and an epic rivalry with the Jerusalemite/Petty King of Dehubarth in Wales, the Dinefwr Dynasty.

That was all a few days ago.

Now, the English kings of Normandy, England, Wales, and Ulster have formed a web of alliances, and managed to arrange it so that the heir to the throne is married to the Queen of Leon, and their kids will inherit everything. After a lot of blood and toil, I get Agnatic (Male-only, to prevent my daughters' husbands from leading German or French hordes to seize the throne.) Primogeniture for both Wales and England, meaning that the firstborn gets everything. It's a marvelous way of collecting power, and avoids the constant politiking of the old Elective system. (Which, funnily enough, is what Ferelden has. Picture the Landsmeet, everytime the King dies, but with racial tension and French Vikings. )

Problem.

King Blayve (I didn't name him.  ) II (I know, I didn't name the father either. Lot of blood, as I said.   ) died young, and the erstwhile King of Leon inherited.

After six years of marriage, he had one daughter. A lovely girl, but she couldn't inherit anything.

To my horror, the heir defaulted to a long, long line of Welsh Cerneus, since one of my great-aunts had foolishly married into the line without the King's permission. This stupid, stupid decision would lead to a complete game-over, as I'm on Ironman and there's no take-backs.

Cue fifteen years of war with the Irish and French and rebellions in Leon, the king trying to seize all of Cerneu land, only for them to flee into the courts of his cousins in Anjou and Brittanny, out of his reach, and a second daughter, named Disappointment de Normandie, because I'm kind of a jackass.

But then, in the year 1170, 7th of August, a miracle happened.

King Randolph's wife gave birth to a healthy son, Joseph.

One hour later that same day, the perfectly healthy King Randolph died in his sleep. If the timing had been off by one more second in the game, I would have lost completely. As it is, I just have to worry about getting the King from 0 to sixteen without dying horribly, and then get as many children as possible to prevent this horrid situation ever happening again. The damnable Cerneus are still laying in wait.

Tl:dr: If you thought Ferelden succession was awkward in Origins...

I have so many of those. I'll make a series. I have a problem.

[Maria13]

This is the thing I love about this thread...people pointing out subtlties that I would otherwise miss. I did not realize that the dwarves where protecting a child.

I'd like to discuss this whole post a bit, but I am on my phone and posting is really hard.

 

Yes, that is one of the most moving ones for me.

 

We can always discuss later.

[Kappa Neko]

So, you guys are into Lederhosen and trashy German "music"?

 

WE HAVE FAILED.

Oh, those are your screens, too? Should have known. You are the hahren of pretty screenshots. 
 
Don't blush! I love them. I especially love the ones you take of mages doing magey things. It brings out the drama and mystery of it. Reading The Last Flight made me think of Cole's banter with Vivienne and Dorian about how the Fade moves around them, they make it their own, the spirits whisper when they cast spells. Playing a mage PC makes you unaware of what it's actually like to be a mage in the world, because there's radio silence and you just wiggle your fingers to cast spells, as Dorian would say.

Rammstein is not trash.

I believe that'd be just me.

My pleasure!

 

 

Now I can't help myself picturing Solas in a leather lederhosen. YES.

[Caddius]

My pleasure!

 

Also me. Well, not so much the lederhosen. I prefer the restrained fashion of the landsknecht. 

[Colonelkillabee]

YOU TELL HER!

 

[Colonelkillabee]

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SAY UTILITARIAN PANTIES. Now they're white.

You could always go commando like Addai suggested   I damn sure would have no complaints, hehehe.

[Colonelkillabee]

I can't if I want to SHARE these with the world!

True true. I bow to your artistic judgement Not like these have to actually be "canon" or whatever, and it's all headcanon anyway. Just gimme dat CASS!

 

Mmm, dat Cass...

[Delphine]

Also me. Well, not so much the lederhosen. I prefer the restrained fashion of the landsknecht. 

 

Restrained, yes, that's the keyword here.

Says the girl definitely loving the completely outrageously fabulous outfits of the french court during the 17th/18th century.

I think I've accidentally stumbled upon another song that fits Solavellan nicely :3

 

 

Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go
My world was not yours, your eyes told me so
Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time
And I wondered why.

As we cast our gaze on the tumbling sea
A vision came o'er me
Of thundering hooves and beating wings
In clouds above.

As you turned to go I heard you call my name,
You were like a bird in a cage spreading its wings to fly
The old ways are lost, you sang as you flew
And I wondered why.

Wtf! This is just perfect!
"The old ways are gone", really? It sounds like it just came out of the game. Added to my playlist Thanks!

I guess he thought she would see when he would get the orb back.. but I might be wrong then

Sorry, I thought the ledernhosen video was a German self-parody. I had it on mute. It could easily have been what passes for party music in Germany. I am not on good terms with German music... of any kind. I did buy a Rammstein CD when I was 12. Together with Michael Jackson. I was confused back then. Not my type of music at all. But I wouldn't call it trash, no.

 

Now I can't help myself picturing Solas in a leather lederhosen. YES.

Omg...

I love scaring the people in my neighborhood with it. And passers by, people at chick fil a, kids on buses, people next to me at the stoplight, my family, etc. Really I love seeing the look on people's faces in general when they hear that badass bass and those intimidating vocals, lol.

I can imagine.^^

The music I listen to doesn't scare anybody. I'm doing something wrong...

[Taelaa]

But doesn't Cassandra say in game it's reversible???

 

I'm sad my IQ did appear to have the chance to order mass reversals...

 

Not only did Cassandra tell the Inquisitor this, but there are a few codex entries that I have read in game that talk about know reversal was possible, but not knowing how to do it. So, it starts to feel like everyone in Thedas except my Lavellan knew it was possible. Nobody tells me nothing!
