I just started a new story: "Asha'mien'harel" (also at AO3, thanks to Staleina)
This is a reversal of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. Instead, it is Eurydice (Eurydike [Greek] = "she whose justice extends widely") who ventures into hell seeking the lost man who sings enchanting music. Taking place after the events of Inquisition ("Halam'shivanas") and told from Tala Lavellan's point of view, this story will chronicle her search for Solas.
Chapters will be short.
Anyway, you carry a deep grudge in you, and when it comes to this topic you really have a chip on your shoulder. I do not know why you wish to see so much evil in BioWare and why you desperately want to feel wronged. I find it sad, but maybe I defend them too much, alright. It is your decision to be so unhappy with the games and you are free to do so, of course. But I see this leads nowhere because you do not even want it any other way, so I'll drop out of this discussion here.
I had to run some errands but I intended to say something very much like this. So DON'T FEEL BAD SIHA. You just said it before I could. I don't like debating lore when outside hostilities are tainting logic. So I bow out of this conversation, too. With one addition...
Of course the human hedge witch Morrigan info-dumps the Inquisitor with knowledge of ancient elven lore, ruins, and technology (and most often ends up drinking from the Well, gaining the last scrap of ancient elven knowledge), even to a Dalish Inquisitor. They couldn't write her to be elven or write in another elven character to be the expert on ancient elven sh!t; not when they can have human characters constantly know more about elven stuff than the elves do, and have human characters constantly better use the elven stuff than elven characters can. That's "realistic."
Its Tera. I play it off and on. I had to buy a costume to cover up that ridiculous outfit when I came around that item level...
I also played Tera plus multiple other mmo's... but now I feel like the only girl here who does not mind my character to look over sexy. I actually want my characters to look more sexy ö.ö
I think we're going to need an illustrated guide to the Tala Lavellans at this point.
I can start:
Tala Lavellan/Asha'mien'harel (before the removal of her vallaslin)

Oh i love making mine look like a total hoebag....i just think that particular outfit is a bit too outrageous...

I'm ok with it to a point. Izzy, fine. Miranda, outfit didn't bother me but the camera angles sort of did. Tera and similar "armor"? I just wind up spending all of my time thinking, "DAMN that must be uncomfortable! Wedgie hell!" 
Generally I prefer badass to overtly sexy for both genders though. Hence my eternal and undying love of Adam Jensen.

I used to play Tera a few years back. The female armor there is crazy sexy and impractical.
My elf:
Though I think the Castanic has even more impractical armor. The male Castanic are really easy on the eyes, hehehe!

There are times where I don't mind that the character I play dresses in ridiculously impractical (and sexy) armor. I think Tera is one of those games where I could just say "Oh well" and enjoy everyone running around half-naked. 
Don't you mean a "Venn-an" diagram? (Giggle! I couldn't help myself...)
That was terrible.
I'll allow it.
Does anybody play Guild Wars 2? The armor is both impractical and practical and you can mix and match + change the colors. I love it. I have so many characters:
Does anybody play Guild Wars 2?
Spoiler
I used to. In fact, I was sort of getting back into Guild Wars 2 a few months back. The DA:I happened and I stopped playing it (again). xD
And since we're talking about GW2, here's my lovely sylvari mesmer. 
EDIT: And my human ranger.

she's pretty!!! Are you getting the expansion? Sooooo much new content. It's exciting and yeah, I took a break from GW2 because of DA:I too haha XD
Thank you! 
Oooh! There's an expansion? I've not been keeping up with GW2 news so I'm a bit out of the loop but if it interests me (and provided I'm not too distracted by anything else) I might get it. 
BTW I added pics of my human ranger in previous post if you'd like to take a look (and because I love showing off my characters, hehehe! )
[little snip]In Thedas, apparently humans > elves, and Thedas humans are like European Christians while Thedas elves are Jew/Gypsy Afro-Native Americans. Since I was raised as an impoverished Jew and got stepped on by rich white privileged jerks my whole life (the City Elf Origin hits way too close to home), it really frosts my cookies to see BioWare setting up an "underdog rises above the oppressor" narrative but then turns around and says, "Just kidding. You can only rise above if you're already privileged, but you can't escape bone-crushing reality if you're part of a minority. Also, no matter what you try to do to change the unfair system, it will get undone in the long run. Also, all the negative things the majority said about your people turn out to be true after all." (Read: All of DAI's horrible revelations about the elves.)
[massive snip]
I've been pondering this for a day and the message I'm getting from BioWare isn't that elves are and were and always will be an oppressed minority because it turns out they deserve it. It's that once, they were the dominant race in Theadas and they were no better than the humans were. It suggests a cycle, perhaps a hint that, as Tevinter and Orlais decay under the weight of their own decadence, perhaps the same fall will come to them.
And in the wings we see the Qunari, possibly a creation of the elves once upon a time, poised to swoop in and enfold the remains, just as the humans once did to the elves. Granted, the elvhen folk were way cooler than humans, what with their universal magical talent and their immortality, but the cyclical thing was my point. Maybe the elves have to wait a while before their part of the wheel comes around again.
Also, as a result of the recent prompts I've expanded my DA2/Inquisition cross-ships to include Isabera (that'd be Isabela/Sera) as well as Josebastian. Seriously, what tabloid moron came up with the name combo nonsense?
Does Xenon have anything to say, actually? I was wondering if he'd be given dialogue.
I like to keep my expectations low. xD
Bit sad about codexes, though. >___>
Urchin doesn't surprise me too much, since there are no kids in DA:I besides Kieran. But thank you for the info! I would rep you, but I'm out. xD
EDIT: (Really late, but my internet hates me, sorry!) ToP Solas:
Source: Link! (to their Bioware thread, heh)
Is BE officially out then, or did it leak early for some people again?
Thank you!
BTW I added pics of my human ranger in previous post if you'd like to take a look (and because I love showing off my characters, hehehe!
Yep! It's gonna release sometime this year and it looks sooooo good!!!! Lots of throwback to GW1 and adding more to Tyria's lore (original trailer | fan song dubover—it's so perfect). And ooooh, cute. I love the bunny quest. It's so funny XD And when norns pick up chickens, it's amazing.
And certain people will be all like:

Or something.
I'm pretty sure I need to see this film/show/totally-real-life-footage of a woman being fatally(?) attacked by CG cats like now. What is this glorious snippet from?

Also, only if MTC draws it.

And my latest Solavellan artwork. I was having feels...
Spoiler
Hnngg! It's awesome, Capricorn. Lovely work!
Edit: Also meant to say how frigging adorable your new icon is.

Capricorn that is so beautiful.
Oh no I don't want Solas feels go away ;_;
Retour en haut
