Good, good. He has interesting things to say during The Tomb of Fairel quest o 3o
Yeah I'm looking forward to it. Probably going to have to deal with the Bianca situation when we return from the fade as well, so maybe that will give Kubrie a chance to forgive him for being such an obstacle all the time 
Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts(2):
Subtle mingling with others in the Inquistion:

Morrigan:
Pursuing leads and a clown assassin. Also, I hate Briala.:
Dagon hides his cards. This dance is more of an interrogation...:

Try https://youtu.be/b0z...WdH0?t=5h14m29s from 5:14:30 to 5:15:05.
Not long after that is a pretty good one about Blackwall stalking Josephine ...
Thanks! God I still can't get over Blackwall. I keep hating everything he does or says 
I thought maybe this banter will warm me up to him, but no 
Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts(End):
Who lives, who dies, and who rules:
Dagon finds those willing to testify:
Spoiler
A trap? Florianne tries to kill the Inquisitor with a rift. Gurl pls! Dagon has closed more rifts than the amount of words you've spoke this evening:
Spoiler
Sobs and boo hoos. Florianne is disgraced:
Spoiler
OMG! It took a dwarf to settle petty conflicts. Now shape up and work together!:
Spoiler
Care to dance?:
Spoiler
Nice.
I like getting a good screenie of the dragon with her wings full out and looking threatening.
Thanks Me too, tho I prefer her breathing ice, it looks so cool when she freezes everything in front of her. xD
The ball is over! I didn't get all the blackmail, but I did get 22 of them! And I consummated my relationship with Cullen. Next play through will be a Dwarf romancing Dorian.

I never get all of them. I think I've always had a maximum of 28/30.
I believe the most blackmail items I've gotten has been 23.
I loathe the screenshot downloading on the X1 with the fury of a thousand suns 
Now enough griping, I bring you Liam at the Winter Palace. Long post under the tag since it's been a while since Liam stopped by the forum.
Yeah, I'm planning ona magequisition game for my next run, and I've been trying to keep track of which locks and walls are necessary to pick and bash, and which aren't. I lost track though. Mostly, I figure if I'm not too concerned about mosaic tiles and other loot, there's really only a few spots.
But...but....must get mosaic tiles and other loot. Passing up a locked door is just.....wrong.
As for Halamshiral... am I a weird one that I get all halla/coins/secrets in almost every pt? The only pts I'm one coin and/or secret short are the ones when I try to reconcile Celene and Briala
I've managed to get all the statues a few times. I think I got 29/30 once on secrets, and maybe 12 coins at the most. After so much running around, I just want to get it over with and get to the dance with the LI.
Chapter 2 - Get back on our feet and stopping by the local village
Spoiler
I played with that mod once. Took him everywhere and did the romance with my dwarf noble. But, I ended up missing Alistair so I uninstalled it after the one PT. The VA is different in Awakening, too, which made it weird.

This!
I went a bit cookoo after posting for some random reason. I was checking out the 'help on a quest' section and saw a person starting up a thread for 'I need help with getting Rift Mage'. I went bananas and put in big text my suggestion. I have noticed that if you play the mage storyline the venetori spawns get changed to freeman of the dales spawns. Some guy dissed me and told me I was wrong and don't know what I am talking about. I spent a good three weeks trying to get rift mage for my first mage playthrough (Vyre Dite). I got the venetori tomes from the venetori spellbinders in both Forbidden Oasis and Hissing Wastes. Someone suggested and said they got some tomes in WICKED MINDS, WICKED HEARTS. I just still couldn't believe that this issue still exsists. Second issue is I have been looking for good people to team that don't rush all of the time on MP that play the XBOX 360 version of this game that don't live in Mexico when I live in Sandiego CA, North America. Playing MP has been quite the downer when I play it.
Malia survived the Deep Roads and moved up in the world. More on that tomorrow. The important thing is, three years later, Fenris is still
Spoiler
Fenris I still dig. I still hate what Anders said about him in my Kelbaton playthrough:
Anders: "I still don't understand how you can love that monster!"
I was like jerk! I was tempted on dumping Fenris for Anders but he made my decision to keep my relationship with Fenris. Fenris is cool in my book despite his flaws.
Fenris: *quietly chuckles* "You flatter me."
Takes me 10 hours and 29 minutes just to get to Haven in my games! Just kidding, I'm not quite that bad ... *ahem* okay 10 hours just to get out into the Hinterlands?
I am still tempted on trying my hands on a speed run. Would either have to be on easy or normal. Nightmare or hard seems like a no can do.
Maybe Kaltenzahn can't decide if she's a fire or ice dragon xD Or! *looks closely at screenshots* Maybe that was fireball from dragonling? I don't remember them changing attacks, no matter the mother.
Yeah, when I tried to take control over her, I was greeted with falling animation. To tell the truth after third try of unstucking her it became quite funny. Fortunately it was one time incident. She could use Flask of Lightning normally before and after that.
Even when I'm melee, I like to know what my ranged companions do... because I'm taking screenies o 3o
If that's the third dragon in Du Lion the third dragon is fire based. I learned that the hard way: using ice resistance potions and being set on fire. Doh!
I may of spent a little more time than I wanted crafting or I should say the limited amount of crafting I was able to do otherwise I might've finished under 10 hours.
If someone were to do a speedrun, I would suggest having Sera in your party. Putting her in stealth mode helps a lot. I was able to run by a lot of enemies that would've killed me very easily. I used her to take down the Frostback. Even with a level 7 bow, she was doing a lot of damage.
Another suggestion is play as a mage and have Solas with you. Get the dispel power makes dealing with rifts a lot easier. I even was able to defeat the dragon in Crestwood by dispelling her electric circles of zap.
If you were able to have good armor and weapons, it wouldn't matter what level you're at. Those two things make a big difference
The only areas I visited were the Hinterlands, Val Royeaux, Crestwood and The Western Approach.
If I was to of played on Nightmare, I don't know how much of a difference it would make about the time it took to beat the game.
Frankly bow rouges seems to be the easiest I feel and emphasize on a 2H warrior and a sw/sh warrior and a dedicated barrier mage. If not a mage that uses ice and fire for 'SHATTER' combos. Fights end quicker than you would think.
Oh, I defintely wasn't "the last man standing". Far from it! Here a quote from myself from the Your Last DAMP PUG Thread.
Spoiler

After the fight with Stormy, Bruce decided to go back to the Emerald Graves, to confront Carroll. Sadly he had to fight him twice, because the team didn't survive the first try. =/
First fight.
Spoiler
Second try. It was actually pretty fun, to deal with two Shadows at the same time. Freeze one, shock the other, use Stonefist on the frozen one, set them on fire, repeat. xD
Spoiler
After that Bruce and Co. went to close a Rift near the river.
And I think I need to make another post, because I took too many screenshots for one.
Oh right. I forgot about that virtuoso situation. It seems like a tough class to use. Not to mention I have lost a few times because my other virtuoso team mates just flat out rush and over emphasize on buffing and never attack.
Isn't that so true? I just got to Skyhold, and I've been running around for hours talking to everyone and picking up side quests. I think Colin Hawke turned out pretty good. He looks a little like a friend of mine, I think, but not too close.
Now I have another 50 screens or so to go through to find the epic dragon fail, or I could do it over....
Varric looks like he can do that one joke where he does 'look here' which makes Hawke look down the verric will touch Hawke's nose. Lol.
Started a new game today with Brenna, a human female with weapon & shield.
Here she surveys the Breach & the devastation at the Temple Of Sacred Ashes:
My first playthrough ever was a sw/sh. It's a awesome class because you may deal ok damage but you take very very little damage since your more pure defense play than offence play.
Playing smart is true. Another thing is having an effective skill set build and armour. I haven't yet played the game on nightmare. Maybe I should.
That's impressive you finished a speed run. May I ask for Sera, did you keep her as an archer or dual wield tempest?
I did the armor buffing and crafting for Draven which was handy but my main issues were portal bashing. i seriously needed to use the tactics thing here and there. On easy I don't recall using it but rely on good old fashioned A.I. killing.
I honestly don't find Nightmare too challenging, but being a completionist I tend to end up being over-levelled for the tougher fights.
Noticed that Sera's focus was full. Went to kill Vinsomer. That Mark of Death/Thousand Cuts+Mighty Offence Tonic combination is lethal.
Spoiler
Over leveling honestly felt like a must for NIGHTMARE. I swear on the Haven battle no matter who I use I have issues even when I am AT that reccamended level. Venetori and red templars included. bloody red templar sharpshooters and venetori spellbinders and venetori gladiators.
I just finished Deep Roads myself xD Custom Carver... He looks so strange xD I was lucky enough to custom my Hawke and still get both Bethany and Carver the way they are with basic Hawke.
To tell the truth my Hawke really resembles Bethany o 3o
This lady is total ass, but I like her.
Spoiler
Deep Roads team. No matter the playthough, it's always the same.
Spoiler
Guess what that little jerk did.
Spoiler
Your female Hawke looks like my Vatori (female 2H warrior) Hawke. Lol. Except Vatoria had a lighter brown tone.
But...but....must get mosaic tiles and other loot. Passing up a locked door is just.....wrong.
I know, I know. Believe me... Not an easy decision, but sacrifices must be made for the magequisition. 
That's why I'm trying to get all the mosaics done this time. Hopefully it will keep my looter OCD at bay ... I have four complete. Missing only the one from the Hissing Waste, which is a temporary setback.
"Do you think power like this comes easy? There are sacrifices....."
"You've sacrificed too much"
... I love these little Mass Effect invasions. Hrungr's MAKO pic the other day, birefringent earlier with the Manuel quote, and now this.... But sadly I'm out of likes again. Sigh. I should go.
So, Bruce had a really busy day today.
First he finished the Emerald Graves: Claimed the remaining landmarks, talked with an elf called Taven, to learn about a Tomb with a treasure, or maybe nothing inside, fought one of the apostate mages for Cassandra (with Cass) and ran into some Red Templars and Giants.
Then he went back to Skyhold to do some of the Inner Circle quests.
Vivienne: Bruce finally gave Viv the Snowwyvern heart and she then took him with her to her dying lover.
Bruce then judged Florianne and made her work with the common folk.
Cassandra: Then he wanted to talk to Cassandra, but Mother Giselle was talking at her, to become the new Divine. 
Bruce doesn't want to lose Cassandra to the Sunburst Throne, so he will support Leliana to become the next Divine. (Cass was Divine in my first PT) Instead he wanted some time alone with her and they went to the upper level of the smithy.
The Iron Bull: Just when Bruce had left the smithy, Bull called him over. He had gotten a letter from the Ben Hassrath about some Venatori that wanted to smuggle Red Lyrium to Minrathous. Bruce couldn't have that, so they went over to the Storm Coast, to meet an old friend(?) of Bull, called Gatt.
Then Bruce had to make a tough decision for Bull, but he already knew what he would tell his big horned friend.
TBC 
*snip*
Varric looks like he can do that one joke where he does 'look here' which makes Hawke look down the verric will touch Hawke's nose. Lol.
*snip*
ROTFLMAO
Imagine a family dinner in a restaurant cracking up when someone changed the subject with "Look! A baby fox!" Nearly everyone looked. Gets 'em every time!
Blackwall: Later in the evening, Blackwall wanted to talk to Bruce. They were sitting in the Herald's Rest and talked about a dog, which Blackwall didn't safe when he was younger. A sad story, so Bruce wanted to check on his friend the next morning, but Blackwall wasn't there anymore.
Bruce had learned, from Leliana's spy, that Blackwall went to Val Royeaux, so he, Cassandra, Dorian and Cole followed him there, to bring him back.
Wait what? Blackwall wasn't Blackwall, but a man named Rainier? Bruce found it hard to believe and went to the prison to talk to Blackwall Rainier.
After the talk with Cullen, Bruce asked Leliana to escort Blackwall Rainier back to Skyhold, so he could judge him, but before that, Bruce needed some time alone, to clear his mind. So he went to the Garden, only to meet Kieran, Morrigan's son. He told him, that elves shouldn't look like that, but Bruce didn't really understand what that meant. Then Kieran's mother joined them and sent her son away to study. Bruce talked a little to her, about Skyhold, herself and her son, before he went back inside.
After that little breather he went to his throne to judge Rainier for his crimes.
Next Stop: The Knights's Tomb in the Emerald Graves and then forward to Emprise du Lion.
I had a bit of time to play more of Demetria's story and get her to Skyhold. She ended up allying with the Templars; Ser Barris is alive and well. The interesting part while speaking to the inner circle at Skyhold, Dorian doesn't like Demetria and almost left. No surprise, she was mean to him when they first met in Redcliffe's chantry, so karma came back to her. She still gets along with the others, but things may change if she keeps up with the attitude. Yup.. Bad girl...

Dragons and Giants went to the same dance school? .... Yikes, if that's the case then who is the teacher?
Okay, Halamshiral guide pics!
And that's everything I can think of! Hope that helps
Yay! This is awesome! Thank you so much for this. Next game I'll have all 30 secrets, this I vow because there's no excuse not to now

That's one thing I haven't been able to do yet is have a bad relationship with any of the companions. Worst I've gotten is indifference.... well, maybe some dislike from Solas, but it's not as if that's difficult to attain, heh.
