The Scottish professor guy recites a nursery school rhyme to remember the Elven Gods

Lavellan- You forgot someone

Scottish professor guy- Ofcourse I forgot Fen'Harel!

Solas- Most people do

 

Oh god... I just lol'd really hard at that. I'm a bad bad person. 

 

Who is? Not Garrus, not the entire Alliance...

Not Thane...

 

Thane actually does better than the others at doing his job. It's only getting to his son that he needs Shepard for, but when you meet him he gets the job done and in 3 he is somehow still alive and despite being on his last legs, still manages to accomplish more than most against the worlds worst bad guy. 

 

But yeah, everyone else in that game was so freaking incompetent, not just Aria. I know people usually are in RPGS, but I feel like ME took it to all time highs.

.. although DA2 isn't too far behind. Oh, Kirkwall...

[MoonDrummer]

Yay. This shows used to scare the crap of me when I was little. Not as much as V ever did, but enough to have some nightmares.

7 year old Delphine was very impressionable, obviously.

(I don't know why, seeing human bodies being dismantled in anyway possible has never been an issue, but seeing an alien parasite taking control over people used to freak me out. It took me 20 years to watch Alien. And I still haven't watched X Files entirely to this day. But since Alien was okay, I guess I can try watching X Files again now, I'll be alright. I'M NOT SEVEN YEARS OLD ANYMORE.)

Scooby Doo used to scare me so badly my parents banned me from watching it. I don't get scared watching TV or movies, too manly for that.

I actually meant the part where he gets Kai Leng'd XD But yea, you get my gist. I don't know that they're incompetent... I just think Shepard's that badass. Garrus certainly isn't incompetent. He just needed a bit of help, both in ME 1 and 2, and 2... damn dude, lol Garrus is the man.

[Heimdall]

Always love when this illustration comes up.  Always play red heads.  *sigh*  I'm so gonna head cannon this.

Me too. I NEED ELF BABIES TO BE A THING, I WANT TO SEE THEIR TINY POINTED EARS.

You should try Deadspace too.... XD

Okay, so I finished it.  Spoilerssss...

This DLC seemed to focus a lot on the Inquisitor and what it means to assume that role and be forgotten underneath the legend...which you can take as foreshadowing if you are so inclined (which I am).  
 
The last Inquisitor, Ameriden, turns out to be an elf (shocker!) who was keeping Hakkon, in dragon form, at bay by freezing them both in time.  There's this very poignant moment after you tell him that his lover died trying to find him & how the elves in the Dales were betrayed, and he starts lamenting about being burdened with the role of Inquisitor.  He says something along the lines of "Cherish every moment of happiness you can get, Inquisitor...the world will be quick enough to take them away."  And you can follow up with an "I feel that way, too" kinda line - which of course is the line I chose, since I like my Quizzie being angsty and melodramatic.
 
Also, Scout Harding has a dialogue immediately after you defeat Hakkon where she laments how so much of who Ameriden was ended up being erased from history (that he was an elf, that he died protecting everyone, the fact that his lover was a mage AND an elf), and that the the more people start thinking of the current Inquisitor as 'more than a person' that she/he starts becoming 'less than a person'.  The moment is pretty sad and ominous, and paired with Ameriden's speech from before I think it might be throwing a thread out there that might be picked up in later DLCs. 
 
It would have been nice to hear a romance-specific comment after being addressed by Ameriden specifically, but alas, nothing...though Solas did in fact speak to him regarding the elves.  Hell, it seemed an appropriate time for all of the love interests to chirp in with a comment, but...?
 
The parallels between Fen'Harel and the Inquisitor, though, are obvious.  Both are figures who become/became distorted over time and adjusted to suit the needs of the storyteller.  Very good DLC all in all; I ain't mad at the price.

Thanks for that, this pretty much confirms that I'll be playing this pre-ending. I was debating that.

Of course, as a PS4 player, I have time to change my mind.

But... Scooby Doo. You're cute, I like you.

I just might. It's sitting in my Origin library, giving me the puppy eyes. I'M NOT SEVEN YEARS OLD ANYMORE.

Lol when you do, tell me your reaction after about 2 or 3 levels in. I'm replaying it myself for nostalgia.

[Tootles FTW]

Which point in the game did you start?  Pre or Post breakup?

 

I went in pre-break up.  There were mentions by NPCs of in-game story decisions, like what happened with Gaspard, but nothing big enough where I think it matters when/where you start playing...except post-game, of course, where I assume Solas is unavailable?

 

Oh!  And as a quest reward I totally got a tier 4 battlemage armor schematic (FINALLY) for Solas' promotional armor.  Now he looks all snazzy and sh!t before he breaks my heart and runs off with my gear.  /smiles through the tears/

Awesome.

 

My save options were post breakup with a couple hours of work post game or pre-breakup with about 60 hours till end of game. Normally I wouldn't put myself through that torture but I was trying to hear all of the different breakup dialogues that various other characters offered.  

 

Basically Cassandra was a holdout...

 

So I'll be booting up post breakup...

[Mims]

Bring Sera for approval. Spend DLC gaining disapproval. 

 

Sera, why you got to be like this. I can't help that I attract this nonsense. 

[Ex-Paladin]

I've got two completed games, both Lavellan, both without Solas...

 

But I have nine other lady Lavellan, all for Solas (gods help me)...but they're still in the beginning of the game...

[xPez]

Thanks for the explanation.

I find this very meh. What, we're all Andrastians now? Bioware should be giving the elves cultural distinctiveness, not lumping everyone in.

 

Actually:

 

Spoiler

He follows both the Chant and Dalish religion. I forget the name of the Elven God that he follows, it's the Halla Mother one, but yeah he manages to worship both. You find a shrine that he and his partner visit before their battle and it's a statue of Andraste with her hands raised, but they've put two of those Halla statues in both of her upraised hands and give thanks to both.

[arlofthan]

Okay, you know you're too deep when you read a  NatGeo article about a friendly wolf in Alaska and your mind goes to Solas. If you need me I'll be in the trash.

[RogueBait]

Guys. I am barely resisting my intense desire to click on the spoiler tags and devour the text hidden below. Hhnng. I don't know if I'm strong enough for this. *sweats*

 

But I wanted to say: thank you for continuing to post DLC stuff under spoiler tags, all. You're a bunch of good eggs.

[Kestrel]

Blah blah blah chapter 3 of the thing is done. 

 

I think I'm getting /slightly/ better at getting Solas' voice?

So if I ever buy this thiiiiing...    who should I bring with me? No massive spoilers pls?

[nikki-tikki]

Anyone else getting this really annoying glitch where if you use something like an astarium or the shard skulls you can't see your HUD display (your health and skills) and the start button doesn't bring up the menu...its uber annoying....

 

Edit: Also you can't click on things like ladders and such because the actions option doesn't show up either...

[MoonDrummer]

It doesn't matter much tbh, the companions don't really say much. I would bring Solas and Cole maybe, there are a couple of conversations about spirits. 

[Tootles FTW]

The Avvar religion focuses a lot on spirits, and you interact with a few.  Cole and Solas had a lot to say about it, and Iron Bull gave me a few *slightly disapproves*.  I would think Dorian would be good, too, since Tevinter ruins are all over the place.

I think you've done a great job of Solas!  I just got caught up with your fic today, and I can hear his voice saying the dialogue

On the topic of being easily scared (I'm actually pretty brave, I swear; I just have strong emotional responses--thanks, brain!), my husband bought Bloodborne last night, and I flat out screamed and started so bad I dropped my phone when this big, axe wielding bastard flew towards him out of nowhere and struck him with a one hit KO from behind. My reaction made him jump so hard. It was hilarious. I thought it best I leave the room.

Seconding this question. I was thinking Cassandra, Solas, Sera. Or maybe Dorian instead of Sera.

[MoonDrummer]

I went with Solas, Blackwall and Sera. Blackwall and Sera had a discussion about the weather at one point and Sera complained about magic and spirits, as you would expect. Dorian/Solas/Cole or Cole/Solas/Cass is probably best imo. Maybe Vivienne would poke fun at the Avaar barbarians, you could try her.

[Delphine]

I don't wanna have to go back to a pre-ending save to play the DLC, but then I wanna do it with Solas as well.

It's my completionist save, and I've done a lot of completion after the ending, I don't feel like doing it again, I'm too lazy.

I'm glad to see another update. Also, don't worry too much about "action" (as per the note at the top). There's a lot of strength in the more reflective and quieter moments, like the ones in chapter 2, which were very moving and thought-provoking. Also, her background and worries are integral to the tale you're telling. The structure works well so far, and I do think the voice is flowing.

 

Keep us posted.
