On a side note, something tells me that if the Dragonborn showed up in Thedas, all problems there would be solved.

 

Just sayin'.

Dragonrend the first time Cory shows up.  Instead of dramatically flying away the dragon just crashes straight down.

If we're fighting Solas with our teams.......I see mine just kind of playing out like this.

 

Lavellan and Solas start arguing.

Twilight Sparkle steps in with a letter from Princess Celestia explaining how the magic of friendship will help the situation.

Twilight Sparkle and Solas proceed to argue over the validity of Friendship being an actual school of magic.

I sit with my daughter and Clifford with a bowl of popcorn to watch the drama.

Lol. On my end our group spots Solas. Before Lavellan has a chance to react I run towards him completely flipping out and fangirling like a fool. Lavellan casts an annoyed look at me then Buffy says

"Hold on. I'll take care of this." Before she grabs me and tears me away from Solas.

Lavellan then proceeds to start walking towards Solas when Batman appears from the shadows and gives him the trademarked "Batman disapproves" glance

 

 

This thread gets so weird... I LOVE IT!

Oooo, and how great would a Dark Brotherhood Dragonborn in Thedas be.

 

Solas wakes up one morning with a note on the door.

 

"We know."

I don't think Solas would like him very much

 

This reminds me I still have last book to read 

I haven't read the spin-off series yet, I keep meaning to, there's just a lot of other books on my reading list.

[TheyCallMeBunny]

lol, I just saw this thing on Tumblr and thought it was pretty funny for me.

 

Spoiler

 

That means I go with my Lavellan, Twilight Sparkle and Clifford the Big Red Dog.

 

I think it's a pretty solid team.

 

So I'm going to fight of a hoard of zombies with my little cute Cadash, Mr Darcy and Austin Powers? 

 

Powers, if you try anything naughty with my little Inky I believe Iron Bull smash you! Or... possibly offer to join in, it's hard to tell with him...

 

Huh, I can't help but feel that Mr Darcy will prefer to have his brain eaten rather than stay.

Hey guys, so I went to an interview today for part-time work in the local arts centre AND I GOT THE JOB YEEEEAAAH. Like, it's a super cool position too, I'm a front-of-house steward for the arts centre, which puts on lots of arthouse films, indie gigs, classical music, art exhibitions, local theatre (Warwickshire is Shakespeare's county after all), and I get paid to see it and sell people ice cream. More importantly, I can afford to pay rent now! I'm so excited it's silly, this is my first job which isn't a zero-hours contract with lousy, unreliable hours.

In terms of my gaming history (by the way, I love all of your posts on this, they're all so interesting and heartfelt, it's lovely)

Spoiler

I've always felt a bit apart from the gaming community despite growing up with it and gaming being actually a large part of my childhood.

My brother and I started with a playstation one when I was about 6 (this is the point where I show my age, I'm the baby of the thread, haha) with one of the spyro games and crash banidcoot 3 and the toy story game (I can still remember struggling to get all those damn coins every level), my dad used to play with us and complete the levels we found too difficult (I remember the day he stopped doing that because we were too old, it was so sad). At that age it was just a family activity, and co-op games were actually one of the rare occasions my brother and I didn't fight (I have fond memories of spending all night trying to beat co-op modes on nightmare difficulty with him). I recall having a dance mat and playing it with friends at sleepovers for years. I recall stealing my brother's pokémon games (he had a gameboy at one point, I didn't), and him letting me train his pokémon for him because he was too lazy and I desperately wanted to play too. I was massively into Runescape for around three or four years back when that was a thing (I was a friggin player moderator when I was 14 because I reported people saying naughty words, haha, what a nerd). The more I think about it the more I have loads of game memories.

Part of the reason I don't see myself as a 'proper gamer' is having shitty hand-eye coordination with anything that is smaller than a netball, so I always hated FPS games and never got into them when I was old enough to 'graduate' into that. Gaming competitively is something that I've never liked or been good at. After a certain age I gravitated towards games which were less 'gamer'-y - I loved, and still love, the sims, always have, got the sims 1 on PS2, the sims 2 for my 13th birthday, and only stopped playing because it's such a massive time sink. I love story-based stuff. It ties into my love of books - I like characters, I like narratives, I like compelling plots. FPS games aren't about that kind of thing, and I got to a point where I realised most 'adult' games weren't really for me at all. So I didn't bother to pursue it 'properly' as a tennager.

Part the other reason was after the age of twelve, my parents basically said to my brother and me, okay, buy your own video games and consoles if you want to continue this. My brother saved up and up and up for a console, I spent all my money on books instead. My brother and I have always had a Hawke-Carver kind of relationship. He didn't do that well in school and always had a chip on his shoulder about it, so I'd been encouraged for a long time to let him have his hobbies, allow him to feel good about something by himself, and not to intrude. For instance, books have always been very important to me and my development, but it meant my brother refused to read anything I ever did (he's stubborn as hell) until I left home. So we had our separate hobbies: I collected and played music, and read lots of books, and he watched tonnes of sport, and played loads of video games.

Didn't stop me from stealing his games though. I played the entirety of Assasins Creed & Assasins Creed 2 whilst he was out at football practice on Saturday afternoons, he never noticed I'd touched his xbox. I think I tried to get through Red Dead Redemption, but he caught me playing that one. He also gave me loads of his 'old' platforms - I inherited his gameboy and pokémon emerald & fire red at some point, man it was like Christmas. I only ever played games waaay after they game out for that reason, and was never part of the gaming community.

When I left home I got into english language visual novels in quite a big way, because they're story based, and there's a lot of amateurs/hobbyists who make really nice, good quality ones for free, there's a lovely community who do it and a lot of it is very female-orientated, which is rare and a nice change. I picked up DA by chance last Christmas because a few friends 'repped it, and because I was feeling pretty awful and wanted to try a different method of self-care. At that point one of the things I was upset about was a previous relationship, and romancing Alistair for the first time was actually a reminder, to me, of what good relationships are supposed to actually feel like, how they make you feel happy and fulfilled, and not empty and full of sh*t. I feel like despite my relative lack of knowledge, I'd call myself a gamer if someone genuinely asked - I game, therefore I'm a gamer, doesn't need to be more difficult than that. It's been a great source of comfort in stressful times, and I've found some of the most intriguing stories in them.

There you go, a long, narcissistic essay about my game history

Sorry for my spam, I really enjoy talking about wisps .
 
Carrying on from that dialogue Kadan mentioned.. Solas says, "Wisdom and purpose are too easily twisted to Pride and Desire". If purpose spirits can be perverted to desire demons, that means Imshael was once a spirit of purpose (yes I know he says he's a "choice" spirit instead of desire demon)?
 
And the other forbidden one from DA:2, Xebenkeck from the Trespasser codex, was the same.

I know this is pages ago now, but is it confirmed that purpose spirits directly correlate into desire demons, just as wisdom --> pride? Do you think a purpose spirit could become a pride demon, say? (say... if you believe in your own 'higher purpose' strongly, you're so focussed on your own belief, you're so convinced you're absolutely right despite evidence to the contrary, that you're willfully ignorant of whether it destroys other people's lives in the process? *cough* SOLAS).
 

*emerges from binge Twitter reading*
There's like, three That Guy In Your MFA in my history class. Just, y'know, mythology and history instead of lit. It's...quite entertaining to see them face off. 
And from what I've heard, they tend to congregate in the actual English classes we have as well. My favorite anecdote I've heard so far involves the student in Medieval European Literature and Poetry asking, "Why don't we ever read anything American? Just once I'd like to see our country get some love in this class."
       

 
...

I mean, sure, he can go look up and study native American literature from the same time period if he wants, that'd be kind of cool, but way to absolutely miss the point.
 
 

I feel like Bull would be true neutral either wayl. Qun Bull doesn't have an agenda. Qun Bull is just a mindless tool for the Qun. A husk. Non-Qun Bull is proubebly true neutral as well.
Sera, for her to be chaotic evil she would love chaos that's happening from the rift. Sera isn't an anarchist (sadly) she's just a kid that want's things to go back to normal so she can pull more pranks.
 
Solas is a revolutionary and is willing to get his hands dirty for what he feels is right, so I vote chaotic neutral.
 
Cole = neutral good
 
Blackwall = aspires to be neutrally good, but before he became Blackwall he was probally true neutral.
 
Leliana softened = neutral good
 
Leliana hardened = Chaotic Good

The Qun is all about self-restraint, duty, and been assigned to a purpose. Qun Bull may be just a tool and thus is True Neutral, but the purpose he serves is Lawful... eh, Neutral, or Evil, depending on your position on the Qun I suppose.

I definitely agree with Solas as Chaotic Neutral though. Despite his calm demeanour, and his belief in logic and rationality as the way to determine what's right, he's ultimately really critical of organisations and institutions.

In terms of my characters, er. (I have in-game ones, and fanfic ones now, there's so many). Bronwyn, my canon, is probably the first Lawful Good character I've ever played - she's such a goody-goody, it's sickening, but she's quite adorable (she takes a lot from Aveline, the more I think about it, haha). On replay, she became a slightly more sardonic, takes-no-**** kind of Lawful Good - still believes in the power of order and justice etc. etc., but may chat back now and again. My Sera-mancing Lavallen is definitely chaotic netural, maybe chaotic evil at the beginning (she kind of wanted to burn anything with a chantry symbol on it). My Adaar is so chill and snarky, I think he gives off the impression that he's true neutral but deep down he has this rogue with a heart-of-gold stuff going on.

[The Lone Shadow]

Best and worse team to be stuck with?

 

Worst: (at least in terms of my sanity) Cartman, Sera, and the Iron Lady.

 

Best: Snark team I mentioned earlier plus Iron Bull for added mayham.

I sit with my daughter and Clifford with a bowl of popcorn to watch the drama.

 

Lavellan and Felassan distract Solas with a long discussion about feels, morality, betrayal, why Solas shouldn't do it, etc.

 

Ed and I use the time to plot the best alchemic reactions. Ed quietly draws a human transmutation circle around Lavellan, Best Elf, and Solas. 

 

Olivier walks in and takes a long, angry look at Solas. He runs. 

[Elessara]

Lol. Oh my god, this is so brilliant, especially with Trespasser knowledge. Well, I guess we can take what Bioware says pre-release with a grain of salt.

 

Grain?  Let's use an entire salt shaker, actually.

[S.W.]

If you're picking and choosing characters Olivier should definitely be picked!

Top Not Solas

I watched brotherhood when it was coming out. I was sixteen, and thought I was straight back then (HAHA GOOD JOKE PAST ME). It is only now I realise exactly how gay I am for Olivier Armstrong, oh my god.

BTW: Did anyone else know that there is a codex entry based on this game that you can find in Crestwood?

Going through my Trespasser screenshots and oh god, why Cassandra. It's like a knife to the gut to my poor Luca:

 

Spoiler

 

 

I keep telling myself I'll make another canon Lavellan so Luca doesn't have to go through anymore heartache, but that would be boring.

 

I am amused by how out of place Cass as Divine looks like, her face is scarred and she has a such a strong jaw, her manners and way of speaking really don't fit as well. I kind of pity her   

 

If you are locked in a romance with someone then you get the option to tell her "I might" I first picked it because I wondered if she would've had anything interesting to say about Solas but it's just some generic response.

I reloaded and redid the conversation just to get rid of the awkwardness I felt

hmm... mine would probably go something like this.

 

Great and/or Necessary Evil for the Greater Good is totally Revan's bag, so she "betrays" the team and joins Solas.

 

Commander Shepard rambles off something about "finding the control room" where Lavellan will have to chose between 1.) bringing down the veil.  2.) destroying the veil or, 3.) combining everything in Thedas with the veil,  before promptly passing out drunk at the bar. 

 

Lavellan glares, then sighs, and wonders why no one she works with ever gets vetted.

 

There would still be explosions that no one would look at as they walked away.
