Since DAO is being a p.o.s. and not letting me play, here is what Tanith got up to yesterday:

I kinda wish there was a renegade-interrupt type option to not shake Cassandra's hand. Something to indicate you really aren't happy to be in this position.


 

 

Fluffy Varric!

 

 

Custom jammies, but I think they are the wrong ones. I mean, I know it's dark in there, but those really don't look purple.  I re-did my mod file so it only has the one type in it, so hopefully it's the right one. Darn descriptions aren't very helpful. I need pictures!

How the heck did that happen?? That's horrible! Did you log into your account to see if it's registered? You might have to completely remove everything and start over. I remember I couldn't uninstall it once, because it couldn't be found, but it was on my computer. I had to remove everything, delete any folder and install from the disc.

 
Argh, had a response all typed up and then managed to backspace or something and it went poof!
 
No idea. I deleted both file folders so I can start over from scratch. I have a CD but it's just the vanilla game, no DLC. In order for UE to work, it needs to be installed via Origin. Hopefully re-installing it and then manually installing the DLC's I downloaded earlier (assuming they still don't show up) will fix it. I was able to run the game before I installed (re-installed?) the patch but without all the missing DLC goodies, my current saves won't work right.
 
I still don't know what caused the original problem. I know Origin updates regularly and every time I go offline I get notices to "update" various games again when I go back online. Nothing for DAO though. The error message I got wasn't helpful at all. "Like most Elven writing, it was insufferably vague."

Oops, forgot to add, everything shows up on BSN as keyed to my account, which is why I could re-download the DLC files. It's just weird, but a lot of other people are having the same issue re: the DLC's not showing up in game or in Origin.

Discovered this tiny detail:

 

In my recent DAO run Isolde was alive, killed Connor. Then in the epilogue slide it says that Isolde gave birth to a girl, but Isolde died due to complications. But then in DA2 MotA Isolde was with Teagan at the party, alive and well

Interesting! I've never killed Connor, so I had no idea they would have another child later. I wonder if she will turn out to be a mage as well???

 

In my last DA2 game, I think Isolde was supposed to be dead, but I never got around to doing MoTA to see if that was the case. I wanted to talk to Teagan without her bellowing the background.

The slide says that the daughter, Rowan (named after Eamon's sister), starts to exhibit an affinity for magic at a young age. Eamon then takes her to the Circle for training. He also continues to visit her and love her no less than before.

This keeps happening:

If it’s not clear, Lavellan knocks an enemy into the air, then Dorian freezes it, making the enemy a floating ice cube for a few moments! Yay, teamwork. 

Still trying to catch up on 17 or so pages (and counting) of likes, so I'm out at the moment, but that pic is awesome. I've got Dorian set up with fire magic in my game, so he's kinda burny, but I have got to try and replicate this feat somehow.
 

Restartitis struck! I can't play anything but a rogue... Dang it! Archery is just so convenient to hunt those bloody rams and fennecs and... everything. I might go with the assassin spec this time.

Welcome back to the game. I'm having a blast with my rogue at the moment. Not an archer this time, but I did just spec the assassin specialization, and she is quite deadly with those two daggers. I kinda like how there is a totally different set of combat animations with dual-blades vs single blades.
 

I know where you're coming from.  I'm a natural rogue myself.  I'm having a lot of fun playing as a KE this time, because you still have the range with spells, yet you can get up close and personal with the spirit blade, and even protect yourself with fade cloak.  You can heal with the focus ability, but I find I don't really need it, so I didn't bother learning it.  It might be fun to try some other time.  If you want to give mage a shot, that might work for you.
 
BTW, assassin archers rock.

Knight-Enchanters are amazing. In my first game, my mage stood face-to-face with one of the Emprise du Lion dragons and didn't take a point of damage. it was a bit grindy to whittle away the dragon's health, but still awesome.  
 

I'm out of likes for the day, dangit....too many good posts!

This. So this. If I could work that into the thread title I would. .... Good luck with DA:O, by the way. I can't remember exactly how I got it all to work the last time I installed the game, but I think I did at least some of the DLC manually through the DA Updater thing. Omne thing I know is, I'll have to figure it all out again myself soon.
 

I felt terrible when sacrificing the Chargers, but at the time, I felt that's I needed to do. I didn't want to anger the Qunari and start a war that could lead to even more chaos. And I thought maybe the Chargers would still survive or something. But it was sad, sad. And the Bull romance is bittersweet, something feels awkward when you let them die. Buuuh

It was awful. I had planned to sacrifice them this time, back when I began the playthrough, but I didn't realize then how it would impact Bull's romance, or change his character. I don't like that Bull very much. He's like an Invasion-of-the-Body-Snatchers version of Bull or something, heh.

I know what you mean about the Chargers.  I usually let him save the crew, but I wanted to see what the wartable ops were, so I'm currently trying to find the Tevinter ruins with that Inq.  But, he does come around.  Once you talk to him a little more, you do realize he is still Bull, just a little different.  He really is still OK, he just has to accept their loss, and he does, and has every bit as much fun as ever next time you bring him out to kill a dragon.  And you can share your headache with him the next day for making you drink that awful stuff.

Well I've completed quite a bit of the Western Approach since choosing not to sacrifice the Chargers again and I don't want to backtrack so I'll have to save the sacrifice for next game. My inquisitor won't be so emotionally invested in Bull's well-being then, and it's good to know he's not really that different.

Without counting the dance, I mean.

Very little romance scenes with Cassandra. She only has one special one and that is the very first romance scene(the one that seals the deal). Everything else is all talk.

It hurts that if you sacrifice them Bull implies he'll have to leave the Inquisition at the end. If in romance that's painful and makes you double guess everything. There's these tiny moments when you're like "Does he really love the Inquisitor or is this actually a past time?".

If you save them that does not happen, he'll stay and you don't feel the uncertainty. You'll feel you did the right thing, Bull loves the Inquisitor and found his place.

A past time? What do you mean? As in the relationship is in the past now?

 

Oh hold on... Did you mean pastime?

In three previous PTs I saved the Chargers without even considering sacrificing them, so this time I wanted to play it different just to see what it was like. And when it came time to make the choice I did sacrifice them, and talked with Bull and Gatt and everything afterwards. Bull seemed ... jeez, I dunno, it's hard to explain. Different for sure. Just... not Bull. Not likeable, like before. Certainly not romanceable. So I reloaded and saved the Chargers, heh. Maybe if I had sacrificed them the first time I played the game and didn't know Bull's character any differently.

 

What you say is interesting though. It makes me glad I chose to save the Chargers. Already had one Inquisitor end up brokenhearted at the end of the game when Cassie became the next Divine, so i don't want to do that again

Yes, Bull will have to return to the Qun at the end, but you still decide when that's going to be.  After Cory's banished, you can still go up to him and talk to him, and he'll go with you wherever you want to go.  When you are ready, he'll go there, or find somewhere else that suits him better.

I did mean pastime. I blame my phone XD

Yes, I did go and talk to him, took him to side quests after Cory and everthing. My Inquisitor will never be ready T.T It makes post Cory stuff sad knowing he's probably gonna leave eventually if you sacrificed the Chargers. He seems too ready to leave for my taste.

I learned my lessson. Romancing Bull? Always. Save. Chargers.

Dwarf warrior lv 6 on nightmare...

 

The Herald started up in the Hinterlands with Vivienne, Blackwall and Varric and he plans to clean up the area of rifts, shards, Templars, mages, wildlife, plants and side-quests etc. Derek could start his own cleaning business at this rate and be called something like "Cleaning Services Inq"  (you know instead of inc nevermind). The Herald currently has a hoarding problem as he is in the habit of picking up every plant and loot piece which he comes across. The first side-quest encountered was the search for Ritts and Derek managed to convince her to become an agent through his dwarven smuggling background. A nearby cult was in trouble as well so Derek saved them from demons. He 'appropriated' a rare drink from the cult premises as a reward (the first warden bottle).

 

Found a ring which belonged to a widow's deceased husband and Derek would normally have sold the ring for the scrap value. However, his path of repentance comes in the form of helping everyone out so he returned the ring to the rightful owner. No-one in Derek's party appreciated this good deed though as no approval was given . Helped an elf by giving a potion to save someone at the refugee camp and Blackwall was the only one who appreciated this. Ellandra was recruited whilst at the refugee camp with the help of Vivienne's silver tongue.

 

Ventured outside the refugee camp and came across a group of mages and Templars fighting each other. However, both groups decided to turn their attention to the Herald's team and combine their forces (I guess these groups live by the creed of an enemy of my enemy is a friend). I then realised it was because I used the taunt ability . Varric and Derek are happy exploring the Hinterlands while Vivienne and Blackwall express their distain for one another (I think I got 3-4 banter instances with these two).

 

Derek still has survived with no deaths although the same cannot be said for Varric who takes a dirt nap nearly every enemy encounter . Derek is outfitted in an eclectic mix of equipment at the moment. He is a dwarf with a mace, Templar helmet and a Qunari buckler. This doesn't look like a lot for an hours worth of play but I am strategically weaving between enemies and picking fights carefully due to my inexperience of playing as a warrior (and on nightmare).
