Did "Champions of the Just" and decided to keep the Templars as they are and did not recruit Cole. I don't know, I find Cole as a character that I must babysit most of the time. I'm debating about recruiting Sera, because she'll hate me more since I'm going for a "faithful" mage until that mission with Hawke and her Grey Warden.

i didn't recruit Cole or Sera in my second game -- mostly because I was playing a rogue and wouldn't be taking them anywhere. I regretted it in the end. The Skyhold Tavern seemed so empty :P ...but I've found Cole to be an excellent third fighter type in my current game. I crafted him some daggers with fade-touched obsidian (which adds 3 guard on a hit) and a huge bonus to flanking damage, and I just let him do his thing. He's deadly.

I've seen what Cole can do, but I mostly have Varric dishing out the damage either long or close range. I think I've respec'd Varric quite a bit because he's good with both Crossbow and Daggers. I hardly use Sera much anyways, and if I had Cole, it would be even worse for him. Lots of my decisions would make Cole disapprove like crazy.

Yeah, I get it. My second inquisitor was a faithful one too,a nd I'm pretty sure he and Cole wouldn't have gotten along either. Still, I dunno. Cole likes it when you help people. It's not so hard to keep his approval up a bit. Sera on the other hand, she's a tough one for the faithful to keep happy :P

I'm wondering if their recruitment does impact any future DLCs. I don't know what the future DLCs or nor have I read of news of them. Will there be a story DLC?

Thought I read somewhere in the spoiler forum that they were working on a story DLC -- sorry, no direct link --  but haven't heard anything official confirming this, nor anything about a release date.

So, Blackwall. So... Blackwall, Blackwall, Blackwall. *sigh* ...Blackwall. 

 

Dofni took her boyfriend, and Cole and Solas, to Adamant Fortress with her, and there they put an end to the whole grey warden mess. Not quite so easy as it sounds. Oh don't get me wrong. Storming the fortress with the Inquisition army at their backs was easy enough. Being five levels above the recommended meant they barely even benefited from the experience. Fighting the demons and the warden mages and whoever else was also easy enough, especially with Hawke and Loghain looking out for them too. 

 

And then... the Fade. Wow did Cole ever hate being there. His first words were that he shouldn't be there, and that he made himself forget when he became real. Solas calmed him down, though. In fact, baldy seemed just a tad excited to be there, since he'd never really been there. The big bad demon tried its best to intimidate the group, but after all the crap they'd already been through to get to this point, his pitiful words were practically meaningless. No one seemed intimidated by him in the least. Dofni was proud of her people. She also remembered what happened that fateful day in Haven, and knew she'd been right all along; the Maker, Andraste, none of them had anything to do with what happened. It was just ... being in the wrong right place at the wrong right time. Was a little tiny bit puzzled by the fact that she was wearing her crafted obsidian grey warden heavy armor in all these memories, but no big deal.

 

They escaped the Fade and returned home, thanks in large part to Mr. "You won't die while I still draw breath", the Hero of River Dane, warden Loghain Mac Tir himself. In honor of that sacrifice, Dofni recruited the grey wardens to join the Inquisitions cause to fight demons and red templars. Solas wasn't happy because demon-killing and Cole wasn't happy because the wardens hurt people... but Dofni figured they were acting according to their nature, as was she, and she figured they'd get over it in time. 

 

So now, we're all home in Skyhold. With a trip to Emprise du Lion looming, Dofni decided to take a tour around the place and see how everyone was doing. She and Vivienne had a nice chat about the next Divine, and Dofni suggested Vivienne herself. She could see a fire light in Viv's eyes at the thought of it, even as she expressed doubts the Chantry would ever support a mage as Divine. Dofni was inclined to agree, but assured Viv that, as Inquisitor, she would "make sure" the Chantry went along with the idea. immediately after the conversation, a "support Vivienne for Divine" war table mission became available. Interesting. i hadn't even considered this whole thing for awhile now, and up until I chose to support Viv I had been planning to support Leliana. We'll see what happens.

 

Varric was happy Hawke made it home, calling it a miracle, and then he went off to start writing letters to all Hawke's friends back in Kirkwall. Solas had nothing at all new to say after the adventure, which was a little surprising, neither did Cullen -- but he's a very practical sort of fellow now that he's kicked the lyrium habit -- and neither did Dorian, but that's okay. He seems to be content to explore Skyhold's library for now. Leliana was upset with the Divine's last words for her, and asked to speak about it later. 

 

Haven't spoken to Josie, Cassie, Bull, Sera, Morrigan or Cole yet. Next stop was the stables.

 

And Blackwall.

 

They touched briefly on the events of Adamant, but only very briefly. Then he suggested they go for a drink. They sat at the bar for awhile, and then Blackwall sighed. Dofni told him he was brooding, and he denied it. She told him she liked it, and he didn't really know what to say then, so she suggested they go somewhere private. The hayloft of the stables would do nicely. 

 

Oh my. Cutscene was just a little bit strange with a dwarf inquisitor. As they started kissing and backing up towards the bed, their faces were level, but Dofni's feet were also on the ground. Hmm.

 

Oh well, who cares about such things. Dofni sure wasn't going to let it spoil the moment. And what a moment it was. :wub:

 

Then she woke up alone.

 

Below her, on the stable's ground floor, was the finally finished (I think) Griffon statue with a note tucked into it.

 

Ulp.

 

I know what comes next.

 

But it'll have to wait -- sorry, Melbella :P --  There are still others to talk to first, and new war table missions to check out, and Emprise du Lion (and three dragons! ) to prepare for.

Today, Korbuj Adaar did all the pre-action boring stuff, like putting order in Haven and Val Royeaux, reespeccing his spells, choosing 1/4 of his Knowledge perks, recruiting Iron Bull (+ flirting :D) and Blackwall, and finally went to the Hinterlands in order to truly begin his Inquisitorialness story.

 

Now, you know there's a war going on there, and a war means that lots of people gets massacred. And I mean LOTS of them. And if Korbuj has fun and grinds some XP and Inquisition levels in the meantime...what's the harm in that? :D (so yeah, I'm gonna be grinding 2 or 3 levels on the Mage/Templar/Stupid Sellswords battlefield, plus 1 or 2 Inquisition lvls...and that's as good as a RP excuse as any :D).

Hardened Leliana scares me... damn... I hardened her on purpose, but still  :unsure:.

 

I'll write a longer update on Aela's progress in a bit.  I just wanted to share my feelings on what happened during her quest.  I created a worldstate where Leliana romanced an Amell Warden who sacrificed herself to end the Blight.  I thought it worked best for Leliana's character development this time, and part of the reason why she cares so much for the mages and Wardens.

 

Oh, and Natalie had some nice loot on her corpse, too:

All work and no play make qunari all pissed off and angry. So the Inquisition decided to go to a party. Not just any party. The BIGGEST party in all of Orlais being held at the Winter Palace.

 

People were shocked into silence as the towering inquisitor Karliah walked, all the while fidgeting with her clothing she was clearly not accustomed to wearing. And along with her she brought the sassy Sera, THE Iron Bull and the charming mage Dorian. Instant count approval 25. But not only did the qunari inquisitor shock people when they realized she could talk. She shocked them with her quick witt, charm and a strange knowledge of just how to play the game.

 

By the time she danced with Flo, she had all but gained full court approval. But the dance is what won her over completely. Sadly while she actually thought Gaspard would be better suited for her own needs, she was not about to let Empress Celene die at the party she and the Inquisition attended. Would look bad that they had allowed such a thing when fully capable of stopping it. So she exposed Flo to the court and managed to end everything without further bloodshed. She even got Celene to spare Gaspard's life.

 

In a strange twist perhaps, by the time she arrived back in Skyhold, Empress Celene had sent her two people. One being the bewitching Morrigan who Karliah is watching closely... and Flo. Knowing great Flo was at the game/dancing, her life was spared. Now she is an agent for the Inquisition.

 

Such strange bedfellows my inquisitor is keeping.

Touched Qwahilin in the storm coast and hinderlands a bit:

 

Qwal_02_zpsufvg3zvx.jpg

 

I swear he looks like Solas. Lol

 

Anyway I concentrated more on Azul Hwallo alot more though:

Azul_03_zpsfysfq0zc.jpg?t=1425523153

 

I was able to save everyone in Haven (FINALLY!!!) I hated how I had to wait for it to fidget to "Save someone". I had other minor fighting issues but I got to Skyhold.

 

Azul_07_zps99l2gg0r.jpg?t=1425523297

 

After seeing how Corypheus was in DA 2 to how he looks in DAI I must say he's more freaky looking in DAI than he was in DA 2. I kind of wonder how he got exposed to red lyrium though. I think I know how he came back to life though. Once he was "Killed" the surviving warden (Larius/Janeka) was forced to double check on him to see if he was dead (mind controlled again by Corypheus). Since Larius/Janeka had no backup (killed by Hawke and his/her posse) Larius/Janeka became easy pickings to be taken over. The archdemon and red lyrium exposure I have no clue. Also in the DA 2 DLC Corypheus kept bringing up how this "Dumont forsook him" which is how I think he was sealed years ago? Surprisingly this "Dumont" never shows up in DAI. I guess I am nitpicking....lol.

 

I mad a custom armor for my character that turns out to look super cool on Vivianne:

[snip all non-TDB related adventures  :wub:]

You get an extra like for singling me out. :D I can understand not wanting to dive into it right away. Poor Dofni. She'll have to go kill a dragon or three in the meantime. And then maybe another one once she finds out what's what.

 

I know some people have issues with the cinematic hand-wave on the character heights, but stuff like that doesn't bother when the hot romance :ph34r: drama is there. What bothered me more was the stilted action during the repeatable kiss in the stable. It always looked so darn awkward! I thought maybe it was just a dwarf thing but in videos I've watched it looks just as bad with an elf. It always made me cackle at how silly it looked. That didn't stop me from selecting it multiple times, however. :wub:

 

Let's see....what is Olinar up to? I think he's still level 17. Everything in the Western Approach is done except clearing out the White Claw lures and baiting the dragon. I'm going to save that until after the Winter Palace. After that, there's the Temple of Dirthamen to explore, and then maybe a quick trip to Emerald Graves before finally hitting Adamant. I definitely want to do the ball first so that Morrigan and Alistair have a chance to see each other. That should be interesting, to say the least.

 

Oops, forgot to add, I'm planning on getting Celene and Briala back together this time. We'll see how that goes!

:D ... Well despite the wonky cinematics, which I agree are totally not an issue when things get hot and heavy, it was a really good scene. Chalk up another well-done romance (and I'm not even finished it!), and Bio is 3 for 3 so far. Even so, I almost had Dofni suggest that she and Blackwall should go celebrate things with their friends instead of a little privacy up in the hayloft, but I figured that would end up being a facepalm moment for Dofni, so she took a chance instead.
 
I'm putting off the next stage in their relationship for just a little while, because I figure it may be a good time to take someone else out adventuring for awhile without feeling bad for leaving Blackwall back at camp :P Still got a couple people to hunt down for Cassie, and just before I shut down the game last night, I put Josie's connections to good use tracking down an amulet for Cole. It was only supposed to take half an hour, so it'll be ready next time I fire up the game. And just before that (last night) Morrigan showed Dofni her fancy magical teleporting mirror, and when they returned from that, Dofni looked down the main hallway of Skyhold and saw Varric trying to get her attention. he was standing close to another female dwarf, who was wearing a hood. So I figure that might be a good one for getting Bull out of the tavern for awhile. 

Speaking of the tavern; after her night in the hayloft, Dofni went for a drink and asked Cabot about the current mood. He answered (something like), "well... a few complaints about you finding time to bed your allies, but otherwise surprisingly good)." :lol: news travels fast around a castle big enough to get lost in.

 

Oops, forgot to add, I'm planning on getting Celene and Briala back together this time. We'll see how that goes!

Good luck on that outcome. I managed to get it this time in Dofni's game, but only by not using that first Halla statue you can find, before you even enter the palace. But it's totally worth it. I liked Briala a whole lot more this time around than I did in my first two games, and I was glad to reconcile them.

 

Just a general question for everyone: Where can I find a Felandaris flower outside of Emprise du Lion? I noticed I still have that silly quest from the Hinterlands in my journal, and I'd like to wrap that up so I can finish off the Hinterlands in one swoop, now that I've finally gotten Varric's quest to return to Valammar.

Well, I caved in and went KE again - I'm just too attached to my lightsaber aka spirit blade to do anything else at this point, tee-hee! Anyway, I zipped through the Western Approach, kissed Blackwall in the barn a few times to celebrate, and finally start Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts so it's PARTY TIIIIIIIIIME in Orlais!!!!! Okay...I guess my Inquisitor may have already had a bit too much to drink at the ball. <.<

If the spirit blade made the lightsaber sound every time you used it, I would never play anything else :D ... Since it doesn't, I've got my heart set on playing a rift mage next time.

Today, Korbuj Adaar has fallen off a cliff and died.

 

--- END OF FINAL CHAPTER ---

 

 

 

 

....on a more serious note, due to the Amulets of Power bug introduced in Patch 5, I've decided to delete him and wait for a new patch before doing a definitive Nightmare playthough (IF the EA interns that apparently do the patching don't f&%$ the game again with the next patch, of course). If they don't, I'll create a new Qunari Mage with a full narrative this time, and since the beginning itself (something I wanted to do a long time ago).

 

So, RIP Korbuj! Your life was short and shaity due to the outrageous nature of insects! :P (seriously...they're annoying, in and out of the computer world).

Is it weird that I want to be able to kill off the Inquisitor (whether in DLC or DA4)?  This worldstate has a dead Warden and dead Hawke.  I thought it would be interesting to have all the "heroes" of Dragon Age die horribly.

Ha, I imagine the protagonist of the next game would be a very reluctant hero if that kept happening!

After many failed attempts at fixing it, I ended up fighting Envy with the stick figure glitch, and beat it surprisingly in less than 5 minutes! It was still annoying and I'm disappointed a near game breaker glitch for some is still active after so many patches.
