Welcome back to ThedasGot my laptop late Thursday, so I spent a fair bit of time setting things up and installing DA:I. I hit the Hinterlands last night with my evil clone of mage-quisitor #2 to find Mother Giselle and get the part started, etc. Actually, I lied: my (almost) clone is not evil. As per usual, my character is a fairly soft, squishy marshmallow at heart. I went back to the Hinterlands earlier for a couple of hours and then hit Val Royeaux to deal with the Chantry. Much to my regret, I ran into Lord Seeker Lucius (jerk!) again and still can't punch him (would now like to suggest DLC specifically for punching Lucius and am 99% sure that my friend who says his face is eminently punchable would appreciate this).
I now have all my recruitment quests, but because Blackwall is my permanent DA:I sweetie, I'm off to recruit him first. I stopped by the Crossroads on the way because someone mentioned there's actually a guy named Giles who shows up after you get the Blackwall recruitment quest and that you can ask him questions about Blackwall. I ended up him asking him about the "Warden" and found out that he was, well, actually heroic and single-handedly saved a bunch of villagers from demons. Say what you will about his past, but he certainly did kick some demon butt according to Giles.
What Did You Do Today (in the DA 'verse) ? .... oops ;)

I think the two of them will get the biggest kick out of Viv preening all evening.Hahaha that's absolutely how Blackwall would like to attend. And glad something makes the Plains just a bit more bearable
Aside from that one War Table banter (which is hella awkward with a US Warden...) where Cullen asks Leliana about a romanced mage and that poor messanger asking her again on the Commander's behalf, do you know if his thing for mages he shouldn't fall in love with comes up during the romance?
But yes, I think we established with Coryfish that Dofni kicking people would be bad, best not forget her
Not sure about Cullen. Someone told me once that he mentions the HoF is she's a mage; something about her being at the circle tower when he was there. It's why I want to set up that world state when I do the Cullen romance.

I always wondered why Giles was just hanging around.
I think the two of them will get the biggest kick out of Viv preening all evening.
... Which is unfair I guess, cuz she and Dofni are getting along quite well, and I've pretty much kept Blackwall away from her so far.

Dofni's truly something to get on Vivienne's good side. She seems to hate almost all my Inquisitors ![]()
My canon world state was US Surana that romanced Leliana (thus the War Table banter I mentioned) but I romanced Josie and Sera with it. Will be interesting to see how it works out for you, if you eventually do it ![]()

I dunno when I'll get to the Cullen romance, but I will eventually, and that is the world state I'd planned for him. If I have to name a 'canon' world state it would be my first warden, the Morrigan-romancing younger Cousland, who survived the blight and then followed his love through the Eluvian.I always wondered why Giles was just hanging around.

While traveling through the Hissing Wastes, I got the banter between Blackwall and Varric about jousting. Nery was not amused and told them to talk about something else. BW slightly disapproved of her slight disapproval. Now he and Varric are plotting to convince Josie that "something" is happening in Markham and they just have to go there.
Boys will be boys, I guess.
Another funny.....I had earlier made Nery some Pink!quisition vanguard armor but later replaced it with a better set up (also pink). While scrolling through the armors in the crafting screen, said pink armor just happened to get placed on Iron Bull.
OMG....I wish I could post a screenshot. I laughed for a good five minutes at how ridiculous he looked. I could just imagine him saying, "Boss, you're the best, but there is NO WAY I am ever going to wear THAT!"

Have you imported your Cousland yet or are you waiting to use that world state for something in particular?
My canon was my first Warden, too. Heh, I was actually just thinking I'd change it to a female Tabris that survived now, too, though. Leliana was just so sad and I ended up liking Kieran much more than I thought I would. Consequences of the Dark Ritual be damned, everyone deserves to be happy! ![]()
That reminds me, once I'm done with the...weird, world state I'm currently using, I've been wanting to import my Mahariel that went through the eluvian with Morrigan.

I don't actually have the savegame for Cousland anymore, so no character to import, but I recreated his game as close as I could in the Keep, and used that worldstate for my first DA:I game. It's totally worth it (imho) to have a world state with a warden who's in love with Morrigan, so if you have one I'd definitely recommend it. I was very impressed with Morrigan's character in that game. I'm also curious about a dalish HoF worldstate, with a dalish inquisitor. Would love to know about any references in DA:I.

Welcome back to Thedas
... That's pretty cool about Giles. I have spoken to him but I don't recall ever being able to ask him about Blackwall. Well, I'm gonna have to go back to the Hinterlands at some point. Still have unfinished business there.
Hah, ty! Gotta credit Gilsa in the Blackwall thread for the Giles thing. Apparently, you can only find/talk to Giles after starting the Blackwall recruitment quest - but I believe she said you have to talk to Giles before you actually find Blackwall. If you don't do it before you recruit him, I believe you lose the chance to chat him up.

I have played so many elves in DAI, what's one more?
I think the only reference with both being Dalish is the letter from the HoF, but I definitely want to import my Mahariel at some point. I just thought it was lovely how it sort of comes full circle, losing Tamlen to an eluvian, then getting to be back with Morrigan through one in the end. Glad to hear it's worth importing ![]()

Ah that would be it. When I talked with Giles this time around it was quite early on, and I was nowhere near recruiting anyone else. I'm pretty sure that in my previous two games, I headed straight for Blackwall once I could, and never went back to the Crossroads again... until my inventory was full

Oh hey that's awesome, I totally never thought about Tamlen.

Well. At least you'll have enough world states for all those romances
I like that Mahariel is so connected to things going on even after the main story of DAO.
The one I've got on ps4 right now is just weird in that I picked a whole bunch of things at random that I didn't think would work (no magic lesbian baby for Morrigan; think they fixed that, haha), or that I don't usually do, then realised some of the DAO choices were actually almost the same as what I'd done recently. It's less weird on the DAO side now, since I changed some of it up to work a bit better with things I'd actually done (I'd sort of like to know what npc's are referring to when they say the HoF was a loon
) but Hawke is still a bit all over the place. Quick list (that ended up not being so short after all...sorry) of the big stuff from the Keep:

He won't want to tell anyone about it. Also, dang, I guess I'm gonna have to swap Cole out for Varric at least once. I want jousting banters too, heh.
I got the jousting banter in my last game as well and let them have their fun. This time, since Nery is romancing Blackwall, she felt obligated to disapprove.
Hehe I love that they keep going back to the jousting conversations. And that's great, make everyone wear pink! Pink and plaidweave!
Nery definitely has a thing for pink and purple. Her armors and weapons have usually been made at least partially of lazurite and dawnstone. Now I've got nevarrite too, so I guess Bull better watch out!

I get the feeling Blackwall isn't ever gonna win too many arguments with Nery, hehe. Still, I definitely gotta take Varric out with us a bit more often... but what shoudl I do? Go without a mage? i'm finding that Cole really says cool stuff most of the time, so it'd be Dofni, Blackwall, Varric, and Cole. Sigh, I guess I'll just have to find some people for Cole to help now and then.

Turn the difficulty to NM, then run around with a couple 2h warriors and squishy rogues without barriers and let us know how it goes? ![]()
Or you could try fade-touched obsidian on the rogues. Or even just Cole. DW's fast enough, guard should build up fast enough that it wouldn't be a problem with Dofni and Blackwall doing most of the heavy lifting. You'd have a problem with energizing and veilfire, though.

There is a thread here somewhere on BSN that gives new information about characters not uploading to the Keep. Tried to find it to link it but - memory is shot to hell. ![]()
They said if you had installed and played DA2 before O, then you may have to uninstall both. Reinstall O and play to a save for your character.
Also having console command enabled and mods installed may also ferk everything up. They advised disabling console command and uninstalling all your mods. Pfft, yeah right. ![]()

Eventually. But a lot of personal stuff is going on in my life right now so I might not get to play it again for a very....ong...time. And the other thing is I played it on PS3. So, since I enjoyed the game, I want to play it on a next gen console (PS4) next time. But...different gender at least. I mean I have four different Inquisitors I can play. But may just do two of them. ![]()
