I decided to take on the Wilds, a favorite place to hang out and enjoy the local scenery, and managed to take pictures along the way. 
I took Cole along, because he's not been before, and here's us breaking camp.
Before us, the great unknown! (Actually, it's just a cool landscape...)
For once, I managed to take a picture of Morrigan with her eyes open! That never happens.
Muhahahaha. Celene is now dead and Gaspard is on the throne but Briala whispers from the shadows...and the Inquisition is pulling her strings. Almost like I planned the whole thing. 
*Shoves Kara away from the keyboard*....no girl mine...*holds up wagging finger* no...stay...how'd you learn to use a lap top anyways?
YOu taught me.
I did?....oh.
Anyways...ahem...yes. Just finished Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts, got lots of great screen shots and pics which I hope to be posting for everyone's viewing pleasure...erm...later. ANd yes, Gaspard is now the Emperor of Orlais.
I actually did feel sorry for her in the end, and reflected that in Kara's dialog. But man I was surprised at the violence of everyone's reactions one way or another. But it was a cool quest. Again. And still did not get to see the naked guy who served Celene...again. But it was fun. Lots of fun dialog. Kara was trolling everyone in sight hard. But, well it back fired, I thought letting Florianne get away with it would avoid the boss fight...and then I fought Florianne...but I really kicked her butt this time.
Oh and it was funny before hand I upgraded all the Inquisition's grendades and the healing potion that I felt like. And....well then I forgot to give Kara more Antivan fire. 
oops. So she had only one grenade.
But yeah, I had a blast. And after wards just debriefed with my council and the lady Morrigan.
Morrigan...

What? Oh yes, the Korcari Wilds are beautiful. Very beautiful, the Wilds... Yes.
Meh. I prefer Fereldan lilies grown in Orlais.

Not her most flattering picture.

But she has such nice (white!) teeth! Perfect for nibbling. And don't you just want to kiss that little furrow between her brows? *ahem* I mean... Uh... I'll be in my bunk.
and Dorian was stewing over a letter from his father...either that, or he finally found someone to peel grapes for him 
...Truth is, there were some minor Inner Circle quests to do here: A couple old grey warden things to find for Blackwall, a couple red lyrium veins to destroy for Varric, and a Circle Mage Tome to find for Vivienne. 
Actually it turns out that since I've already slain the Northern Hunter and the Fereldan Frostback, I already have dragon's teeth to spare and can complete that requisition any time...but it feels more romantic to find out you need a dragon's tooth and then go out and get one, if you know what I mean.
Bruce just talked to Solas in the Winter Palace and he wished him "Weidmannsheil" (Good Hunting) xD
@ Gilli-chan
I'd like to add this to my last post, if you are ever in the mood for MP - and you are afraid of random people - add me ! 
I've got bad lag 50% of the time, but I won't abandon you!
Thanks for the memories...
Edit: Ha! I never noticed in my first playthrough that in the memories the Inquisitor is wearing the same outfit and using the same weapons as they currently have in the fade...
Maker's breath, I have a lot to catch up with after a week and a half away from the BSN! And I've already run out of likes twice 
Lavellan attempted to get Dorian’s amulet back, but the sleazy little merchant wanted to extort them instead. Lavellan agreed, and that just made Dorian annoyed. Why so difficult, moustache man? He only wants you to be happy.Spoiler
Not to change the subject from irritated not-magister boyfriends, but I mustache you a question (get it? ). What armour is that? Looks great, as does Lavellan himself

Welcome back and with incredibly bade puns to boot
So, Julian had a date with a few high dragons in the Western Approach, Crestwood and the Hinterlands. Bull, Vivienne and of course Cassandra tagged along for the fun. While in the Approach, our hero also chased down the slimy Tevinter Mage, Servis and brought him to justice. Wary that the turd may slip away, Julian orders Leliana's agents to keep an eye on him.
Later, the Inquisitor joins Bull in the tavern to celebrate the high dragon slayings. I kept laughing at the way Julian takes in Bull's crazy drink and coughs so... politely?! He even hums?! 
I guess being a Tempest helps with all of the shock and awe.. Cassandra greatly enjoys the bedtime insanity with him! 
Varric and Derek
This just makes me smile. Varric and Derek, dangerous dwarfy duo!
I finally got DAO re-installed with all DLC and mods. Holy schnikeys but that took a while. My previous save game loaded up fine (crossing fingers) so I'm gonna go see what kind of trouble Natia, Nate, Anders, and Oghren can get into. Just looking at the game interface after a test load, I got wistful seeing the entire bottom of my screen filled with ability and potion options. 
Whatever they do next with DA, please please PLEASE don't limit us to 8 power buttons. It's just stupid.

Although I am not sure about the 'dangerous' part at the moment. The banter between them would probably be something like this for the fights so far:
Derek: That's a good strategy Varric, pretend to be dead and let us do all the work!
Blackwall: I don't think he's pretending, he just got skewered with a Templar sword.
Vivienne: *Sigh*
Derek revives Varric again
Varric: I was okay.
I suppose reviving a fallen ally is teamwork in a way . I like the "dangerous dwarfy duo" description so I will probably keep Varric around (and Vivienne) as permanent members all the way through to the end. The duo will live up to this description when they have a few more levels behind them.
Today, Derek will take the fight to both the mages and Templars in the Hinterlands because Saturday Night Is Alright For Fighting (Elton John reference as payback for the 'breach is back' post from awhile back ). I would apologise for this reference but Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word .
Okay I'll stop now.
Speaking of dangerous dwarfy duos, check out the Glavonak brothers, currently of Vigil's Keep. Natia is fairly certain that Dworkin is insane but she's highly in favor of exploding darkspawn. This is an auto-generated screenshot since I apparently can't do manual ones without alt-tabbing out of the game to save them? I was pressing the button like mad, but if any of them auto-saved, I don't know where they are. 
Going off to face Cory. It's going to be a fun fight. Wish me luck.
Edit: Meh. Cory saw me coming and hid. I'll get a team together to hunt him down on Monday.
So, I'm nearly done with WEWH but I'm one secret for Leliana short and I don't know what I forgot/oversaw to collect. 
(I go by the guide from the DA wiki) I'm thinking of leaving it be and just going to the Rift and the cursing Fereldan.
Probably a good idea, Gilli-chan. She doesn't need it, and you probably don't either. Collections are always missing one piece, just like a jigsaw puzzle, but they help you remember the image.
Here's a few pics from the road trip to the Wilds.
Challenge delivered.
Challenge accepted.
Knowledge is power, which brings its own satisfaction.
All that hard work was worth it, but tiring, so a long soak in the tub and nap are in order.
Morrigan had bad bed-head when she woke up, so Nukem spared her the indignity of preserving her morning face for posterity. Sorry, there really are some things you don't want to look at first thing in the morning. I'll check on her in the garden later when she's ready to receive visitors.
