Brenna has been busy the last couple of days working her way through the Hinterlands (taking time out to see the Fereldan Frostback & get in some sightseeing... ) before moving on to Val Royeaux, the Storm Coast & the Fallow Mire. In-between she's also been to the secluded courtyard & recruited Sera then attended Viviennes salon before travelling to Therinfal Redoubt to recruit the Templars. She's currently back in Haven taking a short break.

I know, ugh.

Haha, something like that happened to me at Adamant. Although that time Blackwall was wearing Grey Warden's armor xD

 

Oh my xDD Tho Dorian was wearing the Grey Warden Armor in Adamant too, but a crafted version in Ring Velvet and Drakestone, so he was easily distinguishable from the real Wardens.

Bruce didn't do much today yet. He only cleared Valeska's watch from Darkspawn and found the last two Grey Warden artifacts for Blackwall. He went back to camp to fill up their potions and then went towards the Tower of Bone to claim the last camp. Then a boing told me, that I got a post in Skype and I had to stop playing   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is this meant to mean something?

Unfortunately, I clearly didn't remember how to save clan Lavellan properly, because Cullen reported that every single member was dead, and the Inquisition isn't welcome in the Marches.  That is by far the worst result. Rhiannon's PT had the best outcome, everyone lives. Elariel's PT had the clan 'scattered' and mostly dead. Jeez.

Damn...

Those chain missions are the worst.

I like to give Blackwall typical Grey Warden colors, especially in my current playthrough, when he'll be sent to Wardens after everything's done... 

Well, it was 'Spot Blackwall' game. Nice distraction from friggin demons, dragons and whatever was happening there.

Wait, I just went through my screenshots. Sera was also wearing Warden armor. Good she's always back there, invisible, so I wasn't trying to freeze her.

 

I'm sure it's one of those strange things you find all over Thedas, but never get explanation of.

[Ivy Lavellan]

Morrigan continues to be 'happy little witch'.

Ooh, how did you manage to catch her with a book? I've never got this cutscene! Does she have a son in your pt?

[Rascoth]

No, no Kieran. Also she drank from the Well.

Hi guys! Long time no see. I started a new game as a DW assassin rogue.  Her name is Shay.  She's human with the sassy pixie haircut.  One thing I Shay came across the other day was this, in the hissing wastes:

 

 

GO HOME SPINDLEWEED, YOU'RE DRUNK!

No, no Kieran. Also she drank from the Well.

I see, thanks!

I can't explain it, but I like seeing him in the Templar, or the Orlesian armor. Tho I might give him In Peace, Vigilance (reminds me, I still have to kill Vinsomer...) Sera's wearing In Death, Sacrifice at the moment and looks great in it. (I love to tint them differently, to match the tastes of the characters, like Bull got a Dawnstone tint, Cole is wearing an armor in Ring Velvet green and so on )

 

Probably. 

[Rascoth]

GO HOME SPINDLEWEED, YOU'RE DRUNK!

Just make sure it's getting a taxi. We don't want car crash... I mean horse crash here.

Nah, all templar armors belong with Cassandra xD And good luck with Vinsomer. I'm sure Bull will take her down in no time with his fancy Dawnstone armor.

In Peace, Vigilance is totally Blackwall's armor. He'll only lose it in my elf warrior pt o 3o

The only Templar armor I want to give Cass, is Armor of the Knights-Divine xD (I'm sooo gonna tint it in Nevarrite, just because Cass is from Nevarra  )

 

 

Oh, definitely, he looks so awesome in pink  (I'm so annoyed I found a better armor for Dorian, he looked so cool in In War, Victory, but the stats were against it  )

Before the Mask Falls:

Spoiler

[SporkFu]

Kubrie and the gang have been quite been since I last updated her adventures with the slaying of the Highland Ravager. Upon returning to Skyhold, Varric reminded the Inquisitor that Hawke and Alistair had gone to Adamant Fortress some time ago to stop the grey wardens from raising a demon army for Corypheus, and that it might be a good idea to join them sometime soon.

 

Ohhh yeah.

 

She tried to explain that she believed Alistair and Hawke were already capable heroes, each in their own right, and could probably handle things without her, but Varric just snorted and said something about bullsh*tting a bullsh*tter and Kubrie knew she wasn't about to be let off the hook. 

 

So they went to Adamant Fortress and fought a bunch of demons and were about to put an end to Erimond The Tedious when he called up his buddy the archdemon. Great. Since I forgot to enable FRAPS and have no screenies of the entire battle I'll make a long story short and say they ended up in the Fade, where they met the spirit of Divine Justinia, who helped Kubrie finally remember what happened that fateful day at the Temple of Sacred Ashes.  

 

Bull wasn't too happy about being in the Fade, but no one else really seemed to mind very much, and after fighting a few demons they finally came face-to-face with the Nightmare who was controlling Corypheus' demon army, and they killed him. Alistair stayed behind to make sure everyone else could get away... and interesting in talking with Varric afterwards; he mentioned the line of King Calenhad finally coming to an end, and I hadn't considered that when I made the choice. I'm trying to be Varric's friend this time, despite his annoying habit of being an obstacle. I swear I've caught him running to get into my way.  But I didn't want to leave Hawke in the Fade.

 

We recruited the surviving wardens, or allied with them, or something... point is, they weren't exiled. I kinda wanted to exile them this time, but changed my mind at the last second. I dunno why, it seemed right. Hawke went back to Weisshaupt Fortress to report to the other grey wardens about everything that happened, and when Kubrie went to talk with Blackwall about it, he was gone... to Val Royeaux of all places, to see a hanging. Okay then. 

 

Well, we all know how that goes, and instead of letting him rot in an Orlesian prison, Kubrie used her underworld contacts to get him out, on the condition that he really does join the wardens this time, once Corypheus was dealt with. He seemed happy to agree. Well it's the warden's choice isn't it? Hang from the neck until dead right now, or get the urge in about thirty years to go underground and kill darkspawn until they kill you. Gee... tough one. Blackwall really seeems to want to be a warden though. I'll give him that. 

 

Then it was time to go to the Hissing Waste and deal with things there, so they did. A few rifts, a few shards, a few mosaic tiles (all five complete now for the first time yay), a few wyverns, gurns, lurkers, venatori, templars, spiders, one giant moon and a lot of desert later, and we were done in the Hissing Waste. 

 

Oh yeah, and a dragon

 

I forgot to swap Dorian out for Viv this time, so had a fire mage instead of an ice mage. Oops. But it actually didn't matter. Of all the dragons Kubrie has fought, the Sandy Howler was surprisingly one of the easiest. The fight was over really quickly and I don't think anyone in the group even needed a health potion. Ya know, I'm kinda disappointed, heh. Ah well. The loot was still good, and I remembered to remove the HUD before the fight! Woo! Would have had even more screenies but many had Sandy outlined in red, which is an immersion killer and I hate it. Does anyone know if there's way to disable that? 

 

Spoiler

Bull: Another sleeping dragon, Kadan.

Kubrie: Yup.

Bull: So... you got the last nine rolling. You think I could start this one? 

Kubrie: Sure.

Bull: You mean it? 

 

Kubrie: If you can race me to her! Hahaha!

Bull: Wha... hey, wait!

 

Kubrie: You can't catch what you can't see!

Bull: Katoh! Katoh!

 

Hit her with Mark of Death and then shone a flashlight in her eyes (and some Hidden Blades) to wake her up.

 

Then Dorian tried an attack, and it was here that I remembered, 'Fire mage!'

 

Dorian: Hello? Uhh, hello? We're over here! (Fire mage )

 

Bull: I'm getting there first this time, dammit. 

 

Of course, now that he's on fire he turns around so I can get there first.

 

He who hesitates, mas- umm, gets burned *cough*

 

Dorian: Sure she's immune to fire, but it still looks cool. 

 

Glowy underbelly stabby cam, take one! Action!

 

Sandy's still in the Beginner's Dance classes

 

When it comes to a Crazy Ivan, though, nobody does it better.

 

C'mon everybody, let's make some NOISE.

 

Bull: Uh oh. It's the glowing eyes. Now we're in for it, Kadan.

Varric: In case you hadn't noticed, Kadan, we're already on fire. 

 

Putting the bite on the Bull.

 

Too tough. Gotta tenderize him first.

 

Sandy gets hobbled as someone has been working on her left front leg for the whole battle. probably Varric. He hates to brag...

 

Why should that stop her from being burny? 

 

Trying to get back on her feet. It's working about as well as it did for Vinsomer.

 

Frederic of Serrault: She did it, though. Gotta say I'm impressed.

 

And, uhh, hey guys? She's not done. Don't break out the casks just yet.

 

Think she was faking that leg injury.

 

Now she's getting all burny again. Crap.

 

In case anyone was wondering, this is the fight from Varric's perspective. Hey Varric? remember, buddy: You gotta turn around.

 

The game had randomly switched my control from Kubrie to varric for the previous screenie, and in the few seconds it took to switch it back the fight was over. Well, sh*t.

 

Continued in part two...

[SporkFu]

Continued from part one...

 

After returning from the desert there was really only one thing left to do (not including Jaws of Hakkon); It was time for the Arbor Wilds, the Temple of Mythal, and the end game. It kinda sneaks up on you after all that non-plot-driven wandering around various zones killing dragons. 

 

Long story short, after one marathon gaming session Kubrie Adaar's journey is now at an end. It feels like we spent more time in the Arbor Wilds collecting Stormheart than actually fighting templars but it's all good. 

 

One scene that's not going to be recorded anywhere else in the history books...

 

After returning from the Hissing Waste, Kubrie thought they might need to expand the trophy room to accommodate one more dragon skull, so she went to the war room in search of Josephine. There she found her advisors arguing over how they were going to defeat Corypheus...

 

Spoiler

With singing? That's always been your answer to everything, Leliana. 

 

What's your point. Morrigan? And remember, I can have you killed.

 

I think it's a great idea.

 

Ohh, Inquisitor! I didn't see you join us. Hello.

 

Uhh... Hi, Morrigan. 

 

"Hi Morrigan?" That's all you have to say? 

 

What do you mean?

 

You know what I mean. Those talks in the garden, and the crossroads...

 

Err, we just talked... Leliana! You were talking about singing?

 

Yes, it's easy. I'll start. Shadows fall, and hope has fled...

 

Steel your heart...

 

...The dawn will come.

 

The night is long and the path is dark...

 

Look to the sky, for one day soon...

 

The dawn will come.

 

That was fun. I think it could work.

 

So.... smallclothes pinned to a chanter's board, you say?

 

They were Josephine's. 

 

Josephine's? I don't believe you. 

 

It's true.

 

*ahem* Do you think the singing will work? 

 

*kiss kiss*

 

They're all insane.

 

After that it was all over but the ... uhh... that is, the singing *ahem* 

 

Morrigan convinced Kubrie to follow the old petitioner's way into the Temple instead of jumping down a hole and possibly saving some of her soldiers, as Bull suggested. Morrigan cares not for paltry lives when there is something magical to be discovered, and she was not to be denied. She even broke the alliance Kubrie had made with Abelas and kept him from destroying the Well of Sorrows -- to save it. Elves. *shrug*  

 

Morrigan drank from the Well, and we escaped back to Skyhold through the eluvian just ahead of Corpyheus. Later they met in the Skyhold garden to see what new insights Morrigan had at her disposal, with the wisdom and power of the ancient elves in her brain. Kubrie found her instead reading Corypheus' old High School Yearbook.

Spoiler

Voted "Least Likely To Succeed At Anything He Ever Tries. Ever."

 

I have to say I prefer the later meeting with Flemeth when Kieran isn't there too. I had fewer of those, "the hell is going on?" moments. Flemeth agreed to help us stop Corypheus and so that's what we did next. I wish I could say it was an epic battle, but honestly Kubrie was level 25 when the finale started, and the fight with the Higland Ravager was more difficult.

 

In the end, Madame Vivienne was elected the next Divine, but I don't regret the decision, even though I tried more than ever before to get Leliana elected. I think Vivienne will be better than Leliana, who seemed to be headed down the road of nutjob/zealot when Kubrie talked with her about being the next Divine. At least Vivienne is merely sensibly ambitious

 

Iron Bull had a surprisingly romantic last conversation with Kubrie on the balcony outside her chambers. 

 

Spoiler

You've stood strong against everything. Never flinched. 

 

You are the toughest, wisest, most beautiful person that I have ever met, Kadan. 

 

And I can't tell you how proud I'm gonna be, watching you out there addressing the whole 

 

Inquisition... 

 

Mmmm... with this big old love-bite on your neck!

 

You ass!

 

And so that is the end of what was a very fun journey to play through. Had some fits and starts thanks to some hardware problems, and at times I wondered if I was ever going to get it finished. Hell, I wasn't sold on the idea of playing a qun'ari Inquisitor to begin with, but I'm glad I did. Kubrie is definitely a favourite. Sumalee Montano's VA work suited her perfectly and really helped to bring her alive. I dunno if I'm going to take her through Jaws of Hakkon or not, but in any case I'm going to take a break from her character and start a new game.

GO HOME SPINDLEWEED, YOU'RE DRUNK!

Heyyy, welcome back to Thedas  

[Qun00]

I'm kinda new to this so I'd like to know, how is it possible that mage Hawke never lived in a Circle?

The most a noble family can get you is the occasional visit in the outside world.

Finished Exalted Plains with Aidan and just about scraped enough money for the Superior Battlemaster Mail schematic. Now Cass has regained her rightful place as "person with highest armour rating...

Templars are there to make sure all mages go to the Circle and stay there. Hawke is an apostate, which means they travel around her entire life evading the Templars so as to live outside of the Circle. They are able to do this because their father, Malcolm, escaped the Circle and married a non-mage, creating a family that was already on the move hiding Malcolm. Bethany - and, if you play a mage, the eldest Hawke - are automatically going to be protected from the Templars because of the family's situation.

Malcolm Hawke, DA2 Hawke's father, was an apostate from the circle and raised his mage child(ren) to be as well.  He provided the magical education the circle would have otherwise.

So Bruce finally went to Emprise du Lion, together with Varric, Cassandra and Blackwall. They closed some Rifts, claimed two Templar camps and just entered Valeska's Watch.
 

Spoiler

 

Wow! I love Valeska's Watch and that has got to be the best portrait of it ever. Well done!

[Melbella]

Awww, I miss DA2. I'm gonna have to try and get back into it at some point. Soooo many games. ... Wow that Fenris romance is tough. I played it once, but it waws years ago, and i didn't really like him that much, so i don't recall how my game went, but... jeez. ...Actually in the game I'd started playing just before Inquisition arrived, My Hawke and Fenris were getting along pretty good... no romance because Merrill ... but they were becoming friends. i found i didn't dislike Fenris so much this time

 
Fenris was my first DA2 romance and he's the one I keep going back to. I've done all the rest once but he's by far my favorite. The make up scene and the one in the Gallows at the end game make it totally worth it.   Plus, Gideon Emery's voice.

 

 

I'm trying to decide to start another playthrough using Sera, Blackwall and Vivienne for the whole game for the dialogue or start a DAO playthrough that I haven't played in a long time

I might

I would probably play as a warrior since I can use a bow and dual swords. I'm also thinking of doing a kill all playthrough since I never did one  in DAO.

I have to agree with the others....do both! And throw in a run through DA2 while you're at it.

 

 

 

Well, yesterday I closed the same rift. First wave - 5 Despair Demons... Ugh... Second wave... 5 Despair Demons... ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I've never been so glad to be Rift Mage. With PotA I could at least keep them in place for melee companions.

 
Holey schnikeys! Do you have anyone using dispel/spell purge at all? Those abilities are a must for me for the high level rifts. Sometimes they work too well and all the second spawn is dispelled and then I just have to close the rift.

 

The only Templar armor I want to give Cass, is Armor of the Knights-Divine xD (I'm sooo gonna tint it in Nevarrite, just because Cass is from Nevarra  )

 
This isn't a very good picture, but you can at least see it on her. She's also got a matching shield.  No idea how I got the armor in that run but never found it in my last PT.  Of course, that was the one where I was playing a Templar.
