On my current playthrough, I'm using a sword and shield. This is the first time. I will say I dish out more damage a lot quicker than with the other classes. I'm playing on nightmare and rarely take any damage.   I will update my playthrough later.

Is she going to be an elf supremacist type? Traditional, but looks down on others. 
 
I still have to finish Demetria's (Rift Mage) run, but I've been having too much fun with Alessandra II. I'll squeeze in some game time this weekend.

 
Yeah that's the plan. Sera will hate her, heh. I started out playing my first elf that way, but quickly changed her outlook when I realized i wanted everyone to like me for my first game. This Lavellan will be my 6th game, and all bets are off

I just promoted -- reached the level 20 cap -- my Legionnaire SnS warrior in multi-player, and I have to agree; although it took him a while to get really not-squishy, by the end he was an absolute tank. Nothing could touch him.

I'm on Win7, but my PC is like month old 

 

Hah! Once entire Lowtown was full of flying heads! That was marvelous sight. 

I had to reload the game, cause I couldn't concentrate on playing.

 

Oh  My old Pc was a Win7 and I couldn't even play DAO. It always crashed in the CC. ;__; So the first I did when I got my new PC with Win8.1 was playing DAO. (Hulk is a gaming PC and it makes me happy Hulk is it's name)

 

OMG xD that sounds wonderful. xD I only ever had Rainbow Hightown.

 

 

 

That's more scary-0looking than the darkspawn we do get

 

That is something I agree with.

Bruce was really busy yesterday. First he confronted Kaltenzahn again. It was a hard fight that lasted 30 minutes, but this time Bruce could loot her skull.

 

Spoiler

 

Bruce: Dorian,this is not the time to drink. We're in a fight.

 

 

 

 

 

Sera: [censored words no one wants to hear]!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then Bruce went to Skyhold, cause he wanted to go to the Hissing Wasted, but Sera first wanted more fitting clothes before she'd set a single foot into the desert. Okay.

Spoiler

 

After everyone was ready they went to the Wastes, to be greeted by a misterious woman.

 

 

Bruce then went on to track the Venatori in the area.

 

 

Sera decided to show how badass she were with her bow.

Spoiler

 

 

Bruce found a strange eye.

Spoiler

 

And closed more Rifts.

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then they met the strange woman again. (three times actually, also I found 5 slaves I think there might be a nest)

 

 

And onward to close more Rifts~.

Spoiler

 

Watching Venatorri fighting a Lurker was funny.

 

 

And even more Rifts~.

Spoiler

 

 

 

The Venatori tried to intimidate intruders with their display of ruthlessness, but I rather took a screenshot. 

 

 

After the Venatori were dealt with, Bruce took Varric, Blackwall and bull and went on the Tomb of Fairel quest, but first Varric also had to show off his skills.

 

 

The night sky is pretty. (why are they no Astrariums in the Wastes? So. Many. Stars. IMO a missed opportunity. 

 

 

After they were done with the Tombs, Bruce had a new bow schematic for Sera, so he made a new bow. Wanting to give her a Superb Dragonslaying Rune he had to go back to the Wastes again, cause he didn't have enough Wyvern Poison Glands. (He was missing ONE grmbl ¬__¬) 

 

 

 

It took some time, but eventually he got what he needed and made Sera an awesome new bow.

Spoiler

 

With the HIssing Wastes done there Bruce hasn't much left.

 

To Do List:

 

- finish the remaining Collections (Mosaics, Bottles, Songs)

- slaying Vinsomer, Sandy Howler and Highland Ravager

 

- The Last Piece

 

- Jaws of Hakkon

 

- Doom Upon All World 

 

but first I'm off to the Multiplayer, it's Friday  Weekend Challenge I'm comming~!

Good to know. I played one lady Lavellan Mage once, but I deleted her after finishing some of the Hinterlands quests. I didn't like how she looked, but at least it was interesting to see her flirt and build a relationship with Solas. Most of my Inquisitors are Trevelyans, because of the extra skill point perk.

Finally Maferath gets a mention.   Always did think the guy was hard done-by.

Origin and I are going to be having words.  One more crash....  And I'll whine a lot and keep playing.  I'm a wimp.  Seriously, someone mentioned playing on Steam.

 

Was that you, YourFunnyUncle?  Sorry, can't remember.  I'm going nuts between the auto-updates for nothing I'm using and the volume crashes.  

 

I've been running around in circles, trying to craft armor and weapons to do quests.  I ought to just do the quests and collect the mats as I go.  

 

"But I really need that stat boost in..." says the companion.

 

"Shove stats," says Inq.  "Make do and let's do some plot stuff."

 

And the game crashes again.  

 

For crying out loud.  A break would be nice.

Cirque du Inquisition! I love it. Hilarious -- all should go in the screenshots-go-to-die thread.

He's a bit more conventionally good-looking than Aidan, but he feels like my own character. With Aidan I started off trying to make him look like Nathan Fillian, failed but ended up with an interesting face that I liked.
 
With Imtiyaz, I decided to deliberately go through the same process. I thought: Who is a massive guy who could play a Qunari? The Rock! So I started off looking at pictures of Dwayne Johnson and trying to make Imtiyaz look a bit like him. After I predictably failed, I'd tweaked all the sliders enough to have a face that didn't look Rock-ish at all but didn't look like the presets, either. From that place I messed with the sliders a little more and ended up with something that I considered my own creation . It seems like a good strategy!

 
 
Those pics I snipped are making me want to roll a male qunari now. Although, considering how much I crushed on Marcus, another erm, nice-looking male pc  probably isn't the best idea I've ever had. But....so pretty!

Oh no! Sorry to hear about your troubles. I can sympathize for sure. Are you able to turn off the auto-updates for Origin? I don't like any of my software updating itself without me telling it to (I wish I could get AVG to agree with that stance ) so I have both Origin and game auto-updates unchecked.

Update on my JoH DLC run. Maggie Trevelyan, Rift Mage, vanquisher of ice trolls, tree climber, and Wicked Grace prop player.

Led coalition forces on a raid on the Hakkonite Fortress of Solitude. Experienced chills, thrills and spills in the Old Temple. Challenged Gurd Gurdleson to single combat, only to be tricked into fighting with the entire Disney Ice Capades troupe.

Spoiler

Several Antivan Fire and Bee grenades later, Gurd was put down for good. Had a wee chat with old Ameridan, who didn't look anything like what we were expecting. We gave him the bad news about Telana, he gave us the bad news about the dragon Hakkon.

We ran for the lake shore to do battle with the god-drake. And a talking god-drake at that! We didn't let his palaver deter us from our ... er, determination. Good thing we loaded up on more Antivan Fire and Bee grenades! So long, Hakkon! Hope your next incarnation isn't as much trouble for the Inquisition.

-------------

The Gurd Harolsen battle and the Hakkon battle were grand! Loved every minute of them. The Gurd battle was kind of like the ice troll battle, only with adds and way more hit points. Way, way more hit points. The dragon battle was fun, made for some nice variety, even if it was kind of like an ice capades version of the Fereldan Frostback.

Happened to me too

Tanith finally got Crestwood all straightened out. No more undead, no more pretty lights in the lake, no more dragon or wyverns attacking folks willy-nilly and, best of all, no more rainstorm. Apparently the rift under the lake was creating its very own microclimate. With the rift closed, the lake water could go back to being lake water instead of rain. Also, no more mayor since he ran away after confessing to causing a massive flood 10 years before that killed many of the townspeople. Well, there will be time to hunt him down later. For now, she's got a bit more exploring to do in north Crestwood before heading back to Skyhold. Some hightlights:

Dwarfy Buddha

Spoiler

They came out of the caves to find the sun shining and....a rift right in their path.

Spoiler

So much for telling the mayor the good news.

I really like this picture....is it supposed to be Weisshaupt or some other Warden fortress?

I brought Dorian just so I could hear this line.

Someone did suggest once turning off the Origin in-game shortcut in the settings. Worked for me then. DAI has always been crash test dummy with me. Don't play so much now because of it.

Okay, with my Rift Mage run completed, I'm ready for my next PT! Let's check my "Ain't never done" list.

• Never played as a warrior
• Never played 2H
• Never played as a Qunari
• Never did a speedrun without glitching - goal would be to finish under 15 hours
• Never did a Nightmare run without crafting any gear (only potions and grenades)
• Never romanced Dorian
• Never did a world state where Loghain becomes a warden

So whaddya think? Does a male Qunari 2H Champion Nightmare clean speedrun with Dorian for dessert sound like a good idea? Technically, for the sake of the speedrun, I'll skip the Dorian quests and complete the main quest first, then go back to a mid-game save and do the Dorian romance. Two birds with one stone kind of deal.

[themikefest]

Never played as a warrior

Never played 2H

I've done that

 

Never played as a Qunari

Neither have I

Done. I completed the game in 10 hours 29 minutes on my ps3

 

Never did a Nightmare run without crafting any gear (only potions and grenades)

Most of my playthroughs have been on nightmare, but did craft armor and weapons

 

Never romanced Dorian

Neither have I. I most likely never will

 

Never did a world state where Loghain becomes a warden

I've done that. Left him in the fade

Not much to report. I took some pictures of both Vlah'Nu and Ullia Min Tooth

 

Ullia Mint Tooth:

 

 

Spoiler

 

So Ullia took a trip to Val Riyoux to track down a lead about Capernia...

 

 

Uhhh....not 'tread' but 'track'...I heard this "aaaagh..." and nobles talking about the guy. I turned around and was like "what the heck?"....anyway the lead got sacked but found and reconstructed a crystal.

 

 

Dagna devised a plan on tapping into the crystal to see what it does. When she did...

 

 

It turned out to be a holographic recording between Capernia and Corypheus where Capernia felt uneasy about the alliance.

 

 

Liliana showed up early on to watch the recording and devised a plan to break the alliance by B&Eing in Capernia's place and find the means to break the alliance (done by now). Dagna in the mean time decided to help out with the way to break the alliance.

 

In the cortyard in Skyhold...

 

 

Cullen was playing a chess like game with Dorian and won against him. Ullia decided to quarter up.

 

 

Cullen ate his cocky attitude against Ullia Mint Tooth.

 

 

On the way to the War Table Ullia found Josephine freaking out over the fact that she could potentially be poor. Ullia insisted that she didn't look poor but would help her out.

 

 

Ullia also chatted with Varric. Varric asked to help the inquisition in anyway he can despite being a businesman. Ullia didn't mind.

 

 

Vlah' Nu

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

Vlah'Nu got some insight about what to do about the Inquisition. Vlah'Nu didn't care to much or cared to socialize with Cassandra. so she went to the Hinderlands.

 

 

Vlah'Nu meets Harding and hears a bad joke from Varric.

 

 

 

 

Tanith...

 

 

 

ZOMG! Malaioniss's long lost (and potentialally straight) Sister?

 

 

 

Here have a pic of the Hurlock in the first cutscene for making me laugh so hard.

 

Spoiler

 

Also:

Spoiler

Maric allow himself to be crushed, sending Loghain a pleading look that said, For the love of the Maker, help me! Loghain merely stood by, appearing vaguely entertained.

 

Lol on the pics. These were funny. It's like the see through Laura's head pic for TOMB RAIDER ANGEL OF DRAKNESS.

[Qun00]

Flemeth was such a headache that when I finally beat her I couldn't help but celebrate by taking a picture in front of my trophy.

Sounds good, but why you guys do speed runs....  Oh well, have fun storming the castle.  I guess if I was doing a speed run, I'd leave off romances.  I mean, depending on who you pick, those romance cutscenes and subplots add up.  If I had to give a reason, it's because I really enjoyed the Dorian romance, and I'd hate to see it rushed.  Considering the variety of kissy-face scenes, though, I guess you're not missing much.  Make sure to keep us posted.

Question is: Where did she fall from? She must have had to purposely jump far enough to hit rock bottom..

Sounds good, but why you guys do speed runs.... 

It adds replay value. If every playthrough I did was taking my time enjoying the scenery I would get bored and stop playing. Its nice to change it up every now and then. At least half of all my ME playthroughs are less than 10 hours and half of those are less than 6 hours.

Sounds like a plan. I've done all of the above (not in the same game however) except the speed run, and I crafted like a maniac on NM.  Plus, Dorian for dessert is never a bad idea.   Poor Tanith is struggling to resist the fluffy bunny that is Cullen....he's a good dessert too.
