So, if I create a new game to do Trials with, what should I play? I'm not really fond of Reaver spec or Sera romance, so I am unlikely to do either.

 

But... But... Sera romance is amazing!

Try as I might, I can never make myself be a complete ass in any DA game.  I just can't get past the moral core my parents instilled in me.  I might skirt it.. but I'm never an outright jerk.

I've never did play as a jerk in DAO, but in DA2 I played as one. I even let Meredith kill Bethany.

WAT?  But.. but.. Bethany was so sweet.  You sir, made your Hawke a monster!

Its not surprising for @themikeefest honestly you should read some of his ME playthroughs.

So today I decided to go back to Origins and found myself defending against a fluffy fur ball content on making me go back over and over to previous save. If only the fireball would have stopped her but nope damn thing is immune.

I only did it that one time and I was surprised that option was available.

I just watched the last Dragons N' Donuts ever and this makes me more sad than it should.

No, I did do something evil (killed the Dalish, they so deserved it!) and I usually keep them alive. And I felt nothing. He's caculated (my Male Cousland). He's also gonna side with Branka, and I'm not gonna feel anything. I'm ruthless that way, but he's gonna be alive during DAA so that I can experience a Morrigan romance (and how the poor guy deals with it, he's probaly not gonna be happy about the love of his life abandoning him).

This was in Trespasser, right? I had this in my storage chest and never used it during my two runs.

 

All the more reason to have either KE Celeste or RM Demetria use this staff whenever they get to Trespasser

See, I don't play Mass Effect (which if you all knew me you would think would be funny because I love space and all things space nerdy but I suck RPGing with guns.  SUCK.  I got about an hour into ME 1 before I knew it was not the game for me.  Sad too because I'm sure my FemShep would have been a BAMF).

SAVAGERY!!!

 

I expect no less from a Panthers fan.  (I kid.. I got nothing against the Panthers or their fans since you are not in my NFC North division.  Now, if you were a Packers fan I would totally hold this against you). 

 

I tried once to side with the Templars.  But I couldn't.  And I did it once in DAO and once in DAI.  But Meredith was just so.. overzealous.  At least in DAO and DAI, I can see the point of siding with them but she is just nug crap crazy.

[JD Buzz]

I haven't been too impressed with this spec, but maybe that's because Varric does it wrong? For example, the mine fields only ever explode after everything is dead.

 

I see what you mean. The mines explode last minute. Wish there was a way to manually detonate or if an enemy crosses them, they blow up.

 

How about Necromancer? Have you ever considered that?

 

Glad that's finally done.

How do you catch those harlequins? Whenever I run after them, they vanish into smoke.

If I were you I'd seriously consider giving it another go. I too gave up on ME1 after a short time, but when I tried again and forced myself to go a little further I really got into it. My advice would be to get through the opening mission on Eden Prime and to the Citadel, where the shooting tones down for a while. See if you still don't think you can play it then. Also maybe try playing as a biotic so you can throw those "mage" powers about a bit...

With great difficulty!

 

You're supposed to sneak up behind them by walking instead of running, and then run and catch them at the last minute, but it's still really hard to get right. I've found that if there's one by a wall where you can get above them, it can be easier because you can drop onto their heads.

Yes, it's part of the final dlc.

I hate harlequins. That is all.

I still have only managed to tag 1 of them  

 

I vote for 8 but stay with Josephine. She needs to get more love for all the hard work she does for the Inquisition. And think about the glorious scandal: "Maker's breath. A Qunari and Lady Montilyet?"  

 

I plan to do that PT eventually, and the scandal angle does sound fun.  I just don't want to mish mash trials difficulty with NM difficulty. Plus since it's already started, the approval one apparently wouldn't count. I could recreate Tal-eb'saam (Sam for short) but that's a whole lotta headache I don't want. So, I need a different character for now but I don't know what. The only other race/gender I haven't played yet is male dwarf but they don't really appeal. I could do another female dwarf though and make her a rogue this time. Argh!

 

But... But... Sera romance is amazing!

 
I like Sera as a friend, usually, and she's fun and funny to have around, but I don't like her enough for romance. Maybe I'll change my mind before DA4 comes out though.

 

 

I see what you mean. The mines explode last minute. Wish there was a way to manually detonate or if an enemy crosses them, they blow up.

Yes, but since I pretty much drag Dorian everywhere, that might be too much Necro in the party.

Echoing this....I suck at shooting things in ME. I pretty much hit everything BUT the target.  But biotic/tech (aka magic) powers that auto-target are awesome. You can even get them to go around corners if you time it right. Play on easy mode and it won't be too bad. It's worth it for the story and the characters.

kissed Cullen 3 times and went Dragon hunting! I love Dragon hunting

Fail!Marcus has completed Trespasser. As many may recall, Marcus had quite the dilemma over who he wanted to romance: Cass or Dorian. After much wailing and gnashing of teeth (and killing stuff) he decided on Cass, and sped through the rest of the game in order to get to each stage as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, this left many things undone even after Cory's demise. Companion quests were ignored or never even brought up; keeps went unclaimed; entire areas were left unexplored.  Then it all came crashing down when Cass was elected Divine.  Marcus was so distraught, he went back in time to romance Dorian instead. He still remembers that earlier life though, and what might have been. This is part of that nightmare, and what he is determined to avoid.

This is the first time I made it to this ruin and it really creeped me out. The statue rotates to follow your movement if you have the veil fire torch lit. It reminded me of the Weeping Angels in Dr. Who.

He really did. That selection screen is like the final party pic in Citadel with a skeleton crew: so many empty spaces.  The first thing Do-over Marcus did after experiencing his nightmare was to take Dorian, Bull, and Sera out dragon hunting. They took on the Sandy Howler since I discovered (belatedly) she is the one who drops the Armor of the Knights Divine (also Robes of the High Keeper but nobody can wear that one. ). It's not as good as what armor he's now wearing, but at least he can keep it in his storage chest for memento's sake. They are still out in the Hissing Wastes, hoping to find the "Chantry Sister" one last time.

Maggie Rift Mage. Canon Inquisitor. Trespasser. Done. Fini. The End.

 

I'm sad, like I always am at the end of a Bioware story. But it was a great ride and a lot of fun. I think the DLC was a good way to end this chapter of the saga.

Spoiler

Am I the only one that thought for a second there at the end, my IQ was going to die? Because of the Mark? Solas said, "We're out of time ..." I had a flash of PTSD from ME3 and Shepard dying all over again.  Why?! How could they? Did they not learn their lesson? ... Thank the Maker they were just trolling.

 

Maggie went with convince Solas not to be such a racist and to disband the Inquisition (I had Vivienne as Divine and working for her was just not in the cards). I'd been taking every dialog choice leading towards disbanding, that was right for Maggie. She was never all that comfortable with authority.

So, Demetria along with her boyfriend, Cassie and Vivienne defeated both Gurd Harofsen and Hakkon Wintersbreath much to the Avvar's relief. The lady showed a lot of tenacity during the dragon fight, because whenever he tried to fly away, she'd chase after him shooting fire spells and a string of colourful words.

 

Demetria also met her predecessor, Ameridan; honouring him by finishing what he started and spreading the truth to the world. Lastly, much to everyone's shock, she recruited Strovacker, Stone Bear Hold's beast as an Inquisition agent. Poor Cullen had to endure Leliana's endless teasing afterwards.

 

On the way back to Skyhold, some weird stuff happened at a stop in Redcliffe. Jimmy's ram, Lord Woolsley, has a thing for mating against brick walls...

Someone call a vet please...

 

 

Seriously.... He needs help...

 

 

Back in Skyhold, the weirdness continues with the merchants....

 

Spoiler

Demetria either has an invisible store or someone's going to be fired for sabotaging the Inquisition's trade business. I bet it's that random elf lady, who mysteriously appeared in the undercroft. Something sketchy is going on... 

 

 

Demetria's next adventure? Taking on the Arbor Wilds. The lady Inquisitor has a hidden surprise that'll p!ss off Calpernia

^This. I went all biotic and it was just like playing a mage.

I know this might be sacrilege, but you could skip ME1 and go straight to ME2. There's way more story in ME2 and combat is a bit more optional in ME2. Set it to Casual and you could pretty much run through the whole thing as if you were an archer or a mage. The gun is just a really really short staff ...

I did eventually go back and play ME1 and it was nice to actually play some of the key decisions instead of just setting up a world state with them, but overall, starting with ME2 isn't really missing that much. Unless you like fiddling with a million different inventory items without any proper sorting ...

[Melbella]

My key bindings and graphics/other settings keep getting changed to default when I exit the game and then restart. Is this a known issue when having Trials turned on? I've never had it happen before, but it's happened twice today.
