You see why I palmfaced. I don't get it either.
I told him that he should just ignore that and do it anyway because it's totally worth it. I hope I didn't let too much on.
Bad enough that my BFF was spoiled before he even started playing DAI, I was so looking forward to his reaction...
I just don't get people and spoilers, I loathe spoilers.
Eh it depends. If it's something I don't really care much about then I don't mind spoilers. But for DAI? Yeah I carefully avoided spoilers.
My ex had (probably still does) a huge crush on Tali from Mass Effect. He let me have my Alistair crush. We broke up before Inquisition came out, so he was spared my whole Solas obsession. I have a feeling he doesn't like Solas. He's not a big elf person. I bet he has a huge crush on Cassandra now. Don't mind me..I'm just rambling. 
I started over and fixed my Lavellan's chin. Now I'm happy...I think..lol. I'm sure I'll find something I don't like about her tomorrow.

Well I try my very best not to spoil anyone else and I expect them not to spoil me either. Sure, there are lots of things that I don't care about and I don't mind, but I tend to lose interest when I know the big plot twists ahead of time, and I don't want that for a game series that I love previous installments of or a new game know I will love and haven't played it yet. Of course, it DOES happen that I get my mind and heart into such a knot of anxious anticipation that I'll spoil myself just a little, but that has to be my choice and to a degree that I choose. With games especially, though, I will do everything in my power to stay away from spoilers (that's why I disappeared from the forums for months, because of potential Trespasser spoilers). I got put off games before because someone carelessly told me the future of the protagonist and I was furious about it for months. Sure, for the sake of the experience I might get back to it one day, but I lost interest for that one. Of course, if someone had spoiled me on DAI I might become murderous but I'd still play the whole thing since I love DA so much, I just would be infinitely bitter about it and never let it go or let them live it down. I know that's unreasonable, but this is why I tell people ahead of time, or I will avoid places where it might come up.
Well I'm unfortunately the type who needs both.
I think I'm in a point in my life where I'm happier single...I'm certainly too busy for another person in my life right now. 
I'd also like to note that Inquisitor/the rune on the Titan mural mention that something aside from lyrium was harvested from the Titan - and according to description it was something akin to sphere on fire - while the mural itself shows that whatever it is that appears to be at the core of the Titan and shots into heavens is golden in hue... But the Titan's heart in descent is blue, not gold, doesn't look like a sphere and is certainly not on fire.
We had a talk about this in the lore thread.
I think that the sphere of fire might be the "sun". There is a lot of stuff going on with the sun in lore, if you're interested that link is where the conversation starts about it.

Remember how we were talking about the 'birds' in this:
I found this:
The description on the wiki says: In Tevinter, temples to the Old Gods became Circles of Magi.

Oh, no I have a friend who despises spoilers and out of respect I'll avoid talking about specifics of a game's story. I might discuss mechanics or art style or music but not the story itself. I understand not wanting to be spoiled. But for myself it depends on what it is. Like Fallout 4 ... I haven't spoiled myself but if I came across something it wouldn't really bother me since I'm not nearly as interested in FO4 as I am in DA. But all of my friends will ask first to make sure spoilers are ok.
A different friend of mine doesn't usually mind spoilers. He played DAI and I didn't spoil him about Solas being Fen'Harel but after he finished I was like Solas is Fen'Harel! And he was like yeah, I didn't pay attention to the lore in DAO or DA2 who's Fen'Harel again? And he didn't care about spoilers so I've been talking about Trespasser and stuff with him even though he hasn't played it - and he's probably not going to.
Rambling aside, I always try to make sure spoilers are ok before talking about a game with someone.
Hah, it seems we had pretty much the same idea for our Trevelyans' eyes
*snip*
My first human mage looked like she belonged in a circus. And it was long before the BE was given to us, so I never changed her makeup. I chose KE for her, and every mage since. I really like the combined, range/melee options with the KE. I liked DA:O and II because I could switch weapons in mid fight and was really peeved they took that away from us with this game.

I kept having to remind myself, when making a new character, that colours in the actual game would look much darker than in character creation - makeup that is. Even if I thought it looked too light then I should make it probably a little lighter. If I remembered than then my characters seemed to come out looking ok lol.
And yeah, I really preferred being able to switch weapons mid combat. It would have been soooo nice to be able to do that in DAI. Then instead of running after those stupid despair demons I could just say, oh yeah? I HAVE A BOW, WHAT NOW JERKS!

Well the most important thing is that you be satisfied. I've enjoyed times of being single, generally I like being alone a lot of the time so I was never frustrated by it exactly, but I've had a tendency to sort of have a "hunt mode" on when I didn't have one or I was looking to get out, it began to annoy me that I spent so much of my time consumed with this especially considering that a lot of the time I think I'm more suited to a single life. I work better this way, though, as long as I get plenty of space and alone time (which made finding the right match a challenge to say the least) and I know that someone else is in my life to share burdens with, I'm satisfied. There's more to it of course, I mean I wouldn't enter a relationship that didn't have a deep connection, but in very simplistic terms I'd say I'm just that sort of person who craves just the right degree of companionship at all times and no more. It sounds so much more complicated writing this down, haha.

You have good friends. ;_; I have to keep reminding mine to shut up about spoilers. It actually annoys me somewhat when I go to all that trouble to avoid spoiling someone and then it turns out that they really don't care, or the lore just doesn't grab them... I know not everyone is as nitpicky as I am or as detail-oriented, but I still get exasperated when they don't pick up on all the nuances I do, mostly because I have such a dramatic and beautiful experience with a game like this and I want to share that with them. It's disappointing to find out that their level of involvement doesn't match mine, so I can't help but feel they got short-changed and missed some of the best things about the game. A lot of the time I wish I didn't care quite so much.
Well I'm unfortunately the type who needs both.

So godly.
It's also clear that the ancient elves cared a great deal about making their legs look fabulous.
Exactly my thoughts. I'm still grappling with how ridiculously good he looks. (I'd also love to hear Dorian's jaw dropping after all that griping about Solas' choice of attire...)

Glad you finally got everything set up and going. She looks great.

I was going to post a picture, but I deleted them, and her from my game. I did complete the game and the JoH DLC with her before deleting her character. I cringed every time I had to see a close up of her. Poor thing. Blonde, very pink cheeks, and bright purple eye-shadow, she looked ok before I put her in the game and I was like WTF! 
He's an unwashed rebel god now.
I think anyone could forgive him any amount of unwashedness for the rebel god look.
If I had the time and energy to replay my canon from start to finish and record it,I would so have a great time making a music video to "More Smiles". Just thinking about it is hilarious and cheering.
When my husband FINALLY started playing DAI, I tried to prod and poke him to find out his impressions about Solas (by being very vague and asking after all the characters and saying that I recommend taking Solas with him on quests), his reaction: "You mean that bald guy? Yeah... he's kind of weird. Interesting, but weird."
Yeah... my boyfriend played DAI around the same time as me, but he's dwarf-obsessed and rolled a female Qunari who romanced Iron Bull, while I'm elf-obsessed and rolled a female elf who romanced Solas. He kept gushing about how fun and funny Bull and the Chargers are, and I kept gushing about how much I loved Solas and all the elfiness.
After I badgered him long enough about what he thought about Solas, all I really got was, "He's... all right. Really smart guy, but kinda boring, arrogant, and kinda racist..." And I'm like, "*sigh* I know... 
"
My beau's opinion of Solas could probably be summed up in this Manly Guys Doing Manly Things comic strip, with a little dash of this panel on the side.

Oh, this. This is one of many issues I have w/current relationship. I wouldn't want to be smothered myself, but I want to build a life together and live with someone and do all that, for good and bad, and I had him suggest permanent separate residences again today (not for the first time). While I'm reasonably certain I'm leaving when I can, something I should've done much sooner, you're right that your arrangement is valuable if you can find that balance and both be satisfied. I can vouch for the difficulty. And being the other type, it can feel a lot like being taken for granted or only wanted if/when convenient.
So godly.

This reminds me that I probably need to do another comedy text barf after all.
Self-art post!
I've been drawing a lot lately and I need to keep going so I don't get discouraged. :/
I'm still not confident but I wanted to share some sketches. (All are unfinished and possibly WIP. I never finish things! >_<)

These are fantastic! Or even better they are Glorious!
Trespasser was a close thing. I spent 15 minutes just sitting and not playing to wait for everyone to go to bed so I could agonize without being interrupted, and then he interrupted anyway - I can't readily tell him to go away now because I'm having an "experience" and he's drawing my attention away, so I threw all my manipulation talents in to put him off. I feel like such a terrible person sometimes.
Well, it's Trespasser. It's important to be able to wallow in the experience...
Bioware really needs to put in a pause functionality for cutscenes in DA4. The number of times I've had to reload or just give up on listening to conversations just because someone wanders in and chats with me while I'm playing... It would also be fantastic for screenshots.
This GIF is so mesmerizing...

^///^ Thank you!
Actually, talking about friends and spoilers, it was hubby who spoiled Solas for me (he played DAI first), unintentionally. I started DAI after he had finished, and at the beginning I was waffling on about who to romance... No to Cullen, no to Beardy... So I said to him, "Hmm, I think I'll romance Solas". And the look on his face was priceless, he looked literally horrified. "No, you don't want to do that!", he blurted. So naturally I was like, "Ohhhh, does he turn out to be evil or something?" "No no!" "Does he turn out to be the real villain?" "No!" Silence.... "So... why shouldn't I romance him?" "Argh, I can't tell you."
So I knew it was going to end badly. The Fen'Harel spoiler came through googling something else, unfortunately.
