It got all quiet in here, and I just knew a new chapter of Looking Glass came out. Yep!
*looks over at all the chapters to catch up with*
*looks at writing*
*looks back at how far behind I am*
*sigh*
I give up, I'll read it when the day has about 3 hours added to it.
*goes back to writing*
June:* throws lyrium rope into rift and pulls Dirthamen out* Dirth, I built this thing that can blast lyrium and blow up an entire mountain. Wanna see?
Me:............
I like the shortened name "Dirth".
I have to mod out the spiders in Skyrim otherwise I would be probably having panic attacks. Or simply be unable to play.
Speaking of, I kind of just avert my eyes and do some very crappy wild avoidance as much as possible in ESO so if you I can ever match up timewise with those ESO players here, you will have to handle a larger share of spider duty. I....will be somewhere in the back.
I had to get someone to come and help me deal with some giant spiders in ESO the other day. I could barely look at my screen, and they were too strong so I died on my own.

On the topic of accents. Pls. Pls someone tell me what accent Rylen has (0:30):
And Rion from the multiplayer:
Because Rion's voice makes me feel like I'm watching Coro .

I can't tell you what it is, but I can tell you what it's supposed to be. Seems Starkhaven has a Scottish brogue ala Sebastian.

That is a Scottish accent.
Well, lovely Blanketfort, I'll be in and out for a few days. Have fun over the weekend and keep plugging on with your writing
Enjoy blizzcon!

Okay, I was hedging my bets considering I know there are more accents in the British Isle than stars in the heavens.
I'm not complaining mind you... believe me, not complaining in the least.

I can't tell the difference between different types of American accents...
He's got a bit of a posh accent which people from outside the UK generally aren't used to hearing in Scottish characters. Same as Seb.
Ahh, it's the posh-ness that confused me. I'm more used to the likes of Billy Connolly's Scottish accent.
What about Rion?

I don't think the VA is actually Scottish (he's the same one that does Gaspard), it does sound kinda weird to me. :\

Like there's much to tell?
We've actually got about 4 accents. Eastern, Western, South and Midwest. The only major variance is with cities. New York, Chicago and Boston all have very distinctive accents. Most of the rest are basically on a sliding scale.
Chapter 15 of Looking Glass is awesomeeeee. How come every chapter is awesome?
Hmmmmm... I've been thinking. Remember how after Bull's Quest, if we save the Chargers, Bull asks to meet with Inquisitor on the battlements and then two Qunari spies attack?
After it the Inquisitor is all like "you knew they were coming?" and IB responds that yeah, he did, and had Inky as sort of unwitting backup in case he couldn't handle things himself. Inky is not happy with this and asks why Bull didn't tell him/her ahead of time - and Bull asks, rhetorically, if Inky had enough of training to not give away that they both knew what was coming. We see from their expression that no, not really; Bull giving away the information might have ended badly for both of them.
I kinda wonder... seeing how IB and Solas are similar in quite a few ways, perhaps him not revealing everything to Inky (and not-really-so-secretly hoping or at least giving them a chance to stop him) may also be something he withholds for them to actually succeed? Like, if Inquisitor knew too much, or knew something without getting to proper context or understanding first, they'll likely fail???
I mean, if we're honest, Solas already did something like it, to an extent, in Trespasser, as I'm pretty sure that Solas let Inky and the team travel through all the locations with full intention to throw some light on his and elvhen past (opening even the eluvians that the Qunari weren't actively using)... So, even if Inky didn't piece together that Solas was Fen'Harel before reaching him, their trip through eluvians and elvhen ruins must have given them new understanding of the Dread Wolf and the past, at least to a degree.

There are definitely more regional accents than that. This is a big enough place that the differences are there for the hearing, though sometimes the differences are subtler than not. And then there are people who grow up some place but then don't quite sound like you might expect them to. I tend to be one of those. I sound sort of 'general northeast' rather than what people tend to expect from being raised in Brooklyn.
I pick up people's accents by accident very easily when talking to them, and it can be quite weird. I have to deliberately make sure to not do that.

. My grandfather lived most of his life here in Chicago but never quite got rid of his Queens accent for example. I know if I go a few miles north accent changes dramatically as I get into WI.

I know right? I love the stuff she's expounding upon with the spirits. I kind of headcanoned some similar things, but I love reading about it in an actual story.

That's what set me off again .
Maker preserve me..
Perhaps for some gender may have been a factor. Personally, I found Sera juvenile but not in a cute way. Honestly she reminded me of the wacky talking animal side kick that jrpgs are so fond of, and they're almost never female, so well done, Bioware, for branching out, I guess?
Comparing her with Solas though is silly because they're such drastically different characters. He's a grumpy old chap who pities your ignorance. That's going to irritate some people no matter the gender.
I think gender is a factor for many more people than they think. Prejudice wouldn't be as damaging as it is if it were wholly conscious. Nobody (or very few, one assumes) wakes up each morning deciding to be unfair and bigoted. It's a blind spot for a lot of people. Intending to be unbiased doesn't mean you are - that's just being way over-optimistic about human nature
