A new game. Mage. Knight Enchanter. Hushed Whispers.

I told Vivienne mages should be free. Absolutely. She didn't like it. I studied the expression in her face when I said so.

Let's see how long she stays. It's almost as if I started this game just to annoy her. I really need this.

"Dragon Age: Inquisition - The Vivienne Exposure"

 

If I ever do get to play my Female red head Rogue who hates nobility despite being one and whose name is Kara...she will not even recruit Viv.  Talk about being the antithesis of everything she believes in.

Sorry for the double post but I could just go on about the ending and then the party for days I think...I told Sera that 'she was family' and my Inquisitor told her 'this was home if you want it'.  Now A. Sera is not my favorite companion in the game and B. I almost really started off disliking her, i mean I thought her intro scene was fantastic and then she was just very weird and very odd but then she very slowly grew on me...and my Inquisitor...and became kind of like a weird little sister/ crazy daughter.  And this is not the only such story that I have from the game.  These people have become almost a second family to me, another reaosn saying goodbye to them...hopefully just for now...hurts.  I loved these characters, Cassandra, Dorian, and Varric, especially.  I think I, personally, have even grown to have a grudging respect for Viv, as much as I am loathe to believe it.

I have put about 30 playthroughts into the 3 ME games and about 25 of them with the same two Shepard's, probably.

.
I can relate to that.

No  matter how hard you try to create a very special character you always turn back to one or two archetypes. In the character creator you fiddle and adjust. An hour spend is not uncommon. And THIS time you really did it. The perfect chartacter!

The enthusiasm lasts until you compare screenshots with older ones. You made just another copy. Oh, well...

No I mean it, literally the same two Shepard's. Not recreating them but reimporting them over and over.  Though I blame ME being an XBOx exclusive. Since I play on the PS I created my two for ME 2, fidlled with them, uploaded them into ME 3...fiddled with them...got them good...then they released ME 1 onto the PS3 so I had to go back, only major change I made Cameron a Sentinel.

Sure I have respect for Vivienne. As anyone else in the game.

What's Vivienne's best assets?

She's good looking and a damn good Knight Enchanter. And she is also....good looking and a damn good Knight Enchanter. She is....  Well, she is what she is. Isn't she?
Vivienne is really fond of ... Vivienne.

And Sera?
I used to be amused. Then I got annoyed and couldn't stand her. Missed some education and a deeper insight in things.

Let me think...

Yes, I would definetely rather bring Sera along to a party than Vivienne. Any time.

my favorite moment with her was when I took control of her in the Exalted Plains...we were fighting bandits...leaping shot...rght off the edge and to her death.

I did that with my own archer inquisitor in my last game. Not one of Harold's finer moments.

Cassie was his LI too. That made it even better.

It was really good, but a tough one because she became the Divine at the end of the game. I also thought Sera's was awesome. That was my first game.

Shame she don't exisist in real life.

I suppose the big question is do I start my next playthrough next week just to play around the CC for Kara even though I am not going to be able to play it a lot and may have to abandon it till I can restart it later?  That is the question.

Victoria looks too good, every screenshot is worth uploading

Also got way distracted with a Civilization game. And as I'm sure some of you know, once you get a good game going (with lots of war), you'll be at least 12 hours ahead in time before the game's over

You know one of the game series that has gotten lost since I started playing BW games is Civ.  And I sometimes regret that.

Don't discover sport games like NBAK2K15 that mix RPG with the best sports known to man.

You'll have no life, like me

Dofni had another fairly busy day as Inquisitor. She delegated the harvesting of ten bushels of elfroot for the Dalish to Cullen and his troops, by having them scour the Hinterlands until they found all they needed. No telling how long that would take, so she went down to Undercroft -- stopping buy the stables first to make out with Blackwall. She had a moment to wonder if he was ever going to finish carving that Griffon, but she knew better than to ask; he was broody enough sometimes. 

 

Down in the smithy, she crafted a brand new greatsword for herself, focusing more on armor penetration than guard-smashing, as I'd planned earlier. I figure she'll be smashing guard anyway, and when the guard was gone the enemy still had to be killed, right? Instead of using fade-touched obsidian on the sword, she crafted the blade with fade-touched ring velvet, which gives a 10% chance of Hidden Blades, with 4 extra attacks, and I gotta tellya people, I love this new sword. The bad guys have a way of dying very quckly indeed. Put the fade-touched obsidian in a new set of armor instead. Is it making a difference? I dunno. Maybe? *shrug*

 

By the time her own new gear was ready, Cullen's troops found her enough elfroot to make the dalish happy. She decided to make a girl's night out of the trip back to the Exalted Plains, and gathered up Cassandra, Sera and Vivienne and headed out. Cassandra had unfinished business of her own there; someone from her Seekers days had to die. Okay, then. Vivienne hated the Plains and did nothing but complain about how long everything was taking, and that they would never leave. Maker's Breath, in two previous games, she never b****ed so much. Looked like Sera was getting ready to ask her to say, "what?" so they wrapped things up quickly.

 

The Dalish were happy enough with the elfroot that Dofni was able to recruit one of them for the Inquistion, and raid their supply of schematics, though not without paying dearly for those she was never going to get a nuggalope at this rate! Just to teach the dalish a lesson about overcharging one of the most powerful people in Orlais (at the moment) for goods, Dofni and the gals looted the Temple of Dirthamen. Hah. Take that, silly dalish. 

 

Then they took care of Cassandra's target in short order, and it was time to get back to Skyhold. ("Finally, darling!"). There Josie had a lead on how to make the Duparruquette family noble again; it seemed Dofni had to convince an Orlesian Minister to support their claim. (editor's note: Next time I'm gettig Leliana's help. It's so much faster, heh). There was also some disturbing news out of Herald's Rest; it seems Sutherland's Crew has gone missing! Dammit, they were showing some real promise. Since Cullen's troops had done so well gathering that elfroot, she set them on the task of finding Sutherland. 

 

It was still going to take almost five hours, so Dofni took Iron Bull, Solas and Cole out this time. To Crestwood. To Kill a Dragon.

 

Poor Northern Hunter. I almost really feel bad for her. Almost. Dofni is overpowered for her by now, at level 16, and this fight was no contest. It really wasn't. She is now the twenty-second dragon I've fought, through two-and-a-half games, and this one was the easiest. Like, by a long shot. Consider that Dofni has no real special attacks, like Harold and his FoF + Thousand Cuts, or Maharie with her Spirit Blade and (seemingly) unlimited guard. All Dofni has is her giant sword, really. So she didn't flinch when the dragon roared, or flew, or swooped, or shot lightning bolts, or flapped her wings, or kicked, or slashed, or bit... no, she just kept swinging that giant sword in the general direction of the beast and before too long it was dead. And none of Dofni;'s team died, not even a little bit.

 

Iron Bull approved so much he got an Amulet of Power out of the deal, and Cole said, "It wanted to eat us. Now it can't." he seemed genuinely happy about that.

Interesting battle with Corypheus Cory wobbles but he won't fall down. 

Weebles Wooble, but they never fall down

Thanks for the tip is that over on Nexus Mods? 

 

As an addendum to my previous post on Dofni's adventures: She, Bull, Solas, and Cole decided that slaying the Northern Hunter was so much fun, that they wanted to do it again and they went back to the Exalted Plains to track down the Gamordan Stormrider. Oh she's a beauty. She saw us coming and majestically took flight. She must have had a pretty good chuckle to see us standing waist-deep -- knee-deep in Bull's case, chest-deep in Dofni's -- in water, and not moving even after she sent a lightning bolt straight at us 

 

But it didn't matter. Dofni still sliced the very air with her greatsword and began taking massive chunks of dragonflesh out of the creature's right foreleg. Cole was a big help here, and we actually hobbled Stormy for a while before she took flight for the first time since the battle began. I have to say I kinda like playing a 2H warrior for these dragon fights. Don't really have to think too hard about what you're gonna do next, heh. All you have to do is stay close and stay on your feet -- something Dofni had a little trouble with once Stormy landed again.

 

This time, as the fight drew to a close, Solas didn't make it. He just wouldn't stay out of the water. I dunno *shrug* is it a canine thing? ... Just as the killing blow was delivered -- by Cole this time, I think -- Bull went down, finally succumbing to the electric shock treatments. He hopped right back up again, of course, to help us loot Stormy's corpse. It's been a good day, the best part of which is that I am totally done with the Exalted Plains until Vivienne needs a snowy Wyvern heart, that is

[Pee Jae]

Finally collected every shard and managed to open the door to the heart of the Solasun temple. It was... underwhelming. Bright side? Never having to hunt for/pick up another shard. Cheevos done, baby. 

 

My next playthrough will be done for pure fun. No slogging. And no swooping.

 

*edit* And for some reason, Viv became the Divine, even though I specifically supported Cass for it. Ehhh, go on then.
