Does Samson have a quest as long as Calpernia's?
Samson's quest is engaging. Tracking down smugglers, trying to pinpoint where they are getting so much lyrium, discovering the source of his power, cutting off the red lyrium supplies and finding a way to destroy his armor which gives him so much power.
I haven't done a playthrough yet where I went with the templars, so I don't know how long Calpernia's quest is.
After few tries, finally i managed to kill it and then...

Your computer chose to crash the game so the game couldn't crash your heart in the decision that follows. I'd feel blessed if I was you!
Adventure Update! And yes, I didn't take any screenshots, but I'll try and change that.
Anyway, after finishing up everything available, Ethreal and the squad went to close the Breach. Many a tears were shed, dancing, and the guy who runs the potion stuff in Haven cackled madly while drinking. I'm going to assume what he was drinking was not an alcohol beverage, but indeed an experimental potion newly created.
Then Cory and his thugs attacked Haven, and I valiant saved everyone, risking my own life to have a bro-down with Cory using words.
Haven got flooded with snow, and then I took a lone walk through the snow, contemplating life, wondering the great mysteries regarding the Golden City, then collapsed. Amusingly at the same time Cullen and Cass found me.
Then I had a bro-religion down with Mother Giselle.
Then all the remaining Haven folk started to sing to the Inquisitor, in the hope that he doesn't smite them where they stand. I can confirm, no smiting happened.
Now Solas just dropped the pipe bomb and announced the Orb Cory had was indeed Elven. Things are starting to get real.
(And on a side note, the whole "Haven The Dawn Will Come singing event does NOT like the 60fps cutscene fix. Just an fyi!)
Made an elfy elf..Mage cose I like trouble apparently..just started..and got my Wifey Sera.....first..gonna hit Hinterland and finish stuff there before going to get Iron Bull .
More adventures featuring our heroine Medusa Trevelyan. Haha
After helping the Emprise du Lion, I came back to Skyhold to see that restoration of the place is going along very smoothly. I went to the kitchen and guess who I see? The Maker. Haha. He can make my food and any specialty I want. Haha
me: So you're the all powerful Maker?
Maker: Yes your Highness. I'm your personnal cook. Whatever you want, I can make
me: Good. Now go fix me some turkey pot pie. Hahaha
Maker: By your command your Majesty. It will be done.
I walk around the courtyard to observe things and see a merchant who looks familiar.
me: You look like Antraste
merchant: Yes your Highness, I am. How did you know?
me: I was there when you died. Shame. You did a lot of good.
Antraste: Why didn't you help me?
me: The truth. I didn't care and it was your destiny. I will say this, you look good for being dead. Do me a favor though. Don't tell anyone who you are. I don't want everyone to get all stupid around you. Hahaha
Antraste: Yes your Highness
I go talk with my advisors to hear any updates about Corypheus
me: Any word on who or what a game developer or plastic surgeon is?
Furball: Nothing yet, my Lady. I have soldiers searching everywhere, but nothing yet.
Flower Girl: The same with my spies. We need to find someone who can tell us what those things are.
Joey: I agree. Until we know what a plastic surgeon and game developer is, we are wasting time looking for something that we don't even know nothing about.
me: I would guess these are people and not a material thing since Corypheus needed them to make his face look nice. In the mean time I will talk more with Short Round about Corypheus, He may know more than what he told me.
Furball: You still have to meet Hawke in Crestwood. She may have more information as well.
me: In due time. Carry on with your duties.
I craft myself a stronger bow and craft new armor for myself. Cool. I take Scarface, The Professor and Inpsector Clouseau with me to the Emerald Graves. Listening to Clouseau and The Professor talk makes me wonder why they don't get a room. Whatever. I do a few things to help the locals. There's a dragon.
companions: We need to fight the dragon my Lady.
me: I won't stop you. Go ahead. I will stay here to gather more weeds and materials for crafting.
companions: But we need you to help defeat the dragon
me: Oh cry me a river you idiots. I have more important things to worry about. Like gathering more weeds. Work as a team. Now go fight the dragon or I'll kill you myself
companions: Yes my Lady.
Whats the point in having companions if they cry about every little stupid thing? I'm not their mother. Ok got enough weeds and materials gathered. Lets see how they did. Will you look at that. They're dead. Useless. Lets do this the hard way. Hi dragon. My name is Medusa. Since I want to make this fight fair, I won't show you my true form which will turn you to stone. Hahaha
Oh yeah. The dragon falls on its side. Thats cute. It wants to play. Here you go. Tickle, tickle. Enough of this crap. Say hello to my new bow I made. I call it "You're dead dumba**". Its dead.
Well lookie here, the 3 dingbats are now alive. Idiots.
Back at my house of horrors
Short Round: I told you everything I know about Corypheus
me: For your sake, that better be all you know
Short Round: Is that a threat Inquisitor?
me: If you want to take it as threat, go ahead. After you misled Scarface, its hard to believe anything you say.
Short Round: Point taken. Hawke may know more when you meet her. I will ask the merchant's guild to see if they know what a game developer and plastic surgeon is or where to find any. That's the best I can do
me: Good enough for me.
It looks like I need to head to Crestwood to meet Hawke and her Warden friend. But first I will have the Maker make me some food. I'm hungry. Hahaha
Screenshots galore!
After a perilous journey through the snow with the remainder of Haven, Ethreal finds his home away from home, and out nowhere, gets declared the Inquisitor.
Now onto the important stuff. Purchasing furniture for a bedroom that never gets used!
I need to find a better way to take screenshots. I think I'll just purchase FRAPS, record clips I want screenshots from, then see if I can take out single frames from said clip to use as screenshots. I get the unlucky moments where my characters eyes are closed during screenshots lol.

Story of my life.
----------------------
Killed it again only to lose the 2nd most glorious thing in the game.
Playing my 5th character, a female Qunari Tempest, on Nightmare difficulty. I'm using a Hunter Shade Dracolisk as my mount. I romanced Sera and saw all her romance scenes. I'm in the Western Approach hunting the Abyssal High Dragon. I've already killed the Fereldan Frostback and Northern Hunter. My main party is Cassandra as a 2-hander, Blackwall as a S&S tank, and Vivienne. Getting Vivienne's AI to use Spirit Blade was the most difficult thing about using her but I set her to follow Blackwall in battle and it worked. I'm about to enter the Still Ruins.
Story of my life.

That scene, plus Bull and Cassandra, really offset the seriousness of the quest. Sera = 
Daeni spoke with Blackwell, and saw his shiny painted on beard. Then she crafted some more stuff for her armor, and came to the realization that unlike earlier games, she could remove weapons mods and use them in other weapons. Cool! So she removed weapons mods from the crap weapons we'd found and sold those, and used the mods in her own weapons.
And then she went to the war room, and sent Leiliana on a wild goose chase that will take a couple of hours. And opened up the Sword Coast for the second time. Now with this done Daeni, Cassandra, Vivienne, and Solas went down and gathered the proper components to create Mercy's Crest so we don't wipe out the Hessians this time. Only their leader, and thus acquire another agent. We gathered some of those nasty little creature's skins and some serpentstone - I wonder what the crafting value of this is? I would guess it is resistance against fire sounding like serpentine which is similar to asbestos. But I could be wrong.
Then we found the four clues about the Wardens, and set up the camps and recruited the Iron Bull. Bull seems like a nice guy, but he is qunari and a double agent. So do I really trust him? If he only didn't have the horns, he'd make a perfect Drago. But I'm romancing Cullen.

I missed out on the Mercy's Crest thing because I didn't go back to camp and visit the requisitions table til after the Hessians were wiped out. My little elf mage's motto in this playthrough is, "Agents? We don't need no stinking agents!"
More of Medusa Trevelyan
I delay my trip to Crestwood. I needed to check on this Venatori threat in the Hissing Wastes. So I take my usuaul suspects with me, Scarface, Inspector Clouseau and The Professor. Closed a few rifts and made camp. Found a merchant at the bottom of a canyon. Or at least its guard dog and not the actual merchant. I bought a nice rogue armor schematic and very nice bow schematic. Oooo. SHINY. Yes I'm drooling right now. Is that a problem? Hahaha.
Head back to my house of horrors to craft my newer bow and armor. I went to talk with Screwy. She got in my face about stupid crap. Get lost kid before I kill you myself. Why did I recruit her in the first place? You're outta here. Don't let the door hit you in the backside.
Tune in later for more of the wonderful Medusa Trevelyan.
Here's a helpful himt for folks I just did a few moments ago. I was on a cliff and wanted to get to the bottom. I knew there was some metal near the bottom that I could take. So what I did is I slid down at which point I was able to activate the metal and take no damage when falling.
Another thing that happened. I gave myself the 15% cold resistance belt before fighting the dragon in Emprisedu Lion. When I checked my defenses, I had 80% resistance for electrical, fire, spirit and cold. I'm not complaining, just something I noticed that caught my eye.
lvl 17 and 0 dragons killed so far. I foolishly tried the one in the Emerald Graves (found it by accident, YOLO) a few lvls back. I totally got creamed. 
Finally killed the Abyssal High Dragon. I lost my progress due to my PS3 freezing but I got back to level 15. I also have that Dracologist as an agent. I'm going to capture the Griffon Wing Keep next.
Later on Cassandra was beating Bull with a stick.
That's the scene 
I LOL'd.
Had my first romance specific banter today... sort of. My little elf mage just listened, but Cassandra and Sera were talking as we wandered the Hissing Waste, and Sera told Cassandra to stop pointing her sad, pinched face at her. Cassandra told her that if she ever wanted to talk about what happened at Adamant, and Sera interrupted with, "Look, she came back. That's all that matters." ... she said some other stuff but that's all I heard, heh.
This was quite beautiful so far. I've probably rushed this, seeing as how all I've done at Skyhold at the moment is to talk with everyone and do all available War Table operations. As soon as Josie's personal quest came up, I dropped everything else.
Now Ethreal is hunting down a gift for her, with the help of Leliana.
Tomorrow I shall begin my first journey out of Skyhold. I might look at the Game Guide, see where I should go first. I believe I saw a list on the internet that suggested Crestwood is my first stop. But I want to be a Rift Mage! *_*
I might also take a break with Ethreal the Mage, and get my Warrior up to Skyhold, and start wooing Cass, then head back to the Mage side of life.
I'm also thinking of switching my Warrior to Mage, as the class is so much fun. With each DA game, I have, and always will, play through for the first time as a Warrior, then see how Mage is.
I have a little issue that it personally feels weird to
(Going to have to play through with no subtitles as well, to truly perfect the screenshot, but one step at a time)
Today was a bad day. I was going to play on my canon inquisitor file which was over 70+ hours and it said the save was corrupted 
. I only had the one save for that inquisitor and I must've switched the console off while it was saving 
. My internet connection is very slow so I have spent most of the day trying to download my save file from the keep. No success and I will try again tomorrow.
Anyway, I loaded up my Qunari Mage character (on nightmare) and I finally defeated the first pride demon. I wandered around haven a bit and I thought I would attack the nearby druffalo (three altogether). A solo inquisitor against 3 druffalo on nightmare, it didn't work out. This is all I did today which I have to admit wasn't a lot

That's disgusting,
don't consoles have cloud saves? Even with that on Origin i am making a backup everytime i am done anyway, because paranoia.
After capturing Griffon Wing Keep, I finished Cassandra's companion quest. Lucius being set to level 7 really made that fight a cakewalk, but his flunkies weren't. Now I'm off to kill the Gamordan Stormrider.
Took the Human Pyromancer and conscripted the mages. Leliana scowls menacingly. Cassandra is impassioned. Iron Bull cracks wise and introduces me to role playing, how meta is that? Cole annoys the ****** out of me and won't shut up. Vivienne probably wants to take me shopping. Blackwall as grim as ever professes his willingness to die in the fight with Corypheus.
Sera shrugged.

if hitting f5 every 10 seconds counts as paranoia, then i don't want to be right in this cruel world
Took a break from the Hissing Waste to go back to Skyhold for a bit. Had forgotten that I found the last piece of the "Freed Are Slaves" mosaic, and I wanted to see if that dwarf in my castle had anything to say about it. As soon as I entered the main hall, though, I spotted Varric talking with another dwarf, who introduced herself as "Bianca" something. Hmmm.... so, pretty soon we'll be jetting off to Valammar. Well, sh*t.
Then i remembered I'd put Josephine to work to find an amulet for Cole. I confess I haven't had much to do with Cole yet; haven't taken him on any quests since he joined us, and he hasn't had much to say to me... maybe if I stopped bugging him about his hat? Nah... but this little amulet quest and Cole's dilemma makes me wish I had taken him out with us a time or two.
Sigh. My next playthrough is going to be full of all this stuff I wish I'd done this time.
EDIT: Nearly forgot. Also met one Lord Trifles Minutiae in the Skyhold tavern. Uhh... what? 
Retour en haut
