Trying to finish up my male mage Lavellan playthrough before continuing on with my male human Berengar. Morgan Lavellan is close to the end.

Oh my god, I just started a new playthrough on PC because I got my graphic's card fixed and I suspected I had the party banter-bug on Xbox, and lo and behond, an hour into the game and I've had more party banter than on my 3 complete Xbox playthrough's together. I totally forgot they were supposed to be talking to each other throughout the game
So now I'm just walking through the Hinterlands, listening to Solas, Cassandra and Varric chatting along ![]()
Banter is wonderful, isn't it? ![]()
Yes, it is! And no wonder I was getting bored with this game, when you walk around an area for two hours and no one talks. Feels like a whole new game again.
Dwarven Warrior playthrough (on nightmare with some trials on)...
spoilers for Skyhold
Maya Cadash, Archer, not ashamed of being associated with the Carta, misses her BFFs that are still in it. How do I know? I did a dialogue with Josephine in Haven that I had never done in 5+ previous playthroughs. Does Scribbles always worry about finding a way to cover up your past?
I've never played a dwarf before, not sure if it is because of that, or because I never popped in to talk to her before CotJ.
Finished all my grinding in the Hinterlands and Forbidden Oasis. Got the expected XP boost from Even Ground, so I'm going to enter Champions of the Just at the tail end of level 7, which is 2 levels higher than normal for me. Let's see what Envy thinks of my upgraded Bee Grenades, heh heh.
BTW, I'm running Viv with my low-level Winter mage build (http://forum.bioware...ter-mage-build/). She's the only one that never seems to take any damage! Ice Armor rocks.
Finished up the game's main quests last night with Morgan. He still has Jaws of Hakkon and Trespasser left to complete, but I'm burned out on those DLCs for the moment, so I'm switching back to my male human quizzy after this.
The Final Piece & Doom Upon All the World:
Stopped by the forge to make Cassandra a new shield and the next thing I know... Everyone gets a new wardrobe and shiny new weapons. Had a ton of materials and just kept saying to myself "Well -character name- could use -item name-. What can I do here?" Didn't even realize 2 hours went by. @_@. Build the perfect weapon/armor... well played Bioware... well played...
Before i start What Pride Had Wrought, i want to finishing some regional mission... pffff... ~150 hour on main char, and i have so much unfinished quests...
Last night I finished The Descent on my human male Artificer. My party was Blackwall, Solas, and Iron Bull.
Valta and Renn were both okay characters. Valta ended up making Dwarf history and Renn was voiced by Solid Snake, so both had positives in my book. The companions spoke up from time to time, but Solas actually said more than Blackwall and Iron Bull. This interested me because from what I read earlier Solas seems to have the least to say out of everyone.
The actual dungeon crawl was challenging, hectic, and kept me interested in going further below. I played on Normal, so the difficulty felt evenly scaled even if everything was level 23. Things died as fast as they should die to my Artificer, especially bosses when I used my Hail of Arrows focus on them. The Darkspawn and then the Sha-Brytol were decent;y difficult for the unprepared.
The loot was pretty good as well, especially in comparison to the schematic versions you could make later. I actually started wearing the Stone Stalker Coat and Mask on my Inquisitor because it was pretty good stat wise and most of my critical chance came from my crafted bow anyway, so I still had 100% of it. The loot was also plentiful, I'm really glad I purchased both backpack upgrades before I went in. I had to back track to the quartermaster twice just to sell all my junk loot. Speaking of the quartermaster, I missed the chance to sell him stuff for ridiculous amounts of cash before it was patched out, but I still made a good fortune off all the stuff I sold.
The Dwarf lore additions are really cool and interesting, and I really hope Valta comes back as our first Dwarf mage companion.
You know what's really funny though? By the time I was done with all the table operations in the DLC, I only had 23 power left. Not enough to start the Arbor Wilds main quest.
Happens all the time for me. They get jealous of each other's gear, so to keep the peace, if one gets an upgrade, they all do.Stopped by the forge to make Cassandra a new shield and the next thing I know... Everyone gets a new wardrobe and shiny new weapons.
Playing with Berengar Trevelyan again. He finally made up his mind and decided to recruit the templars. After seeing what has happened to them at Therinfal Redoubt, though, he's not sure if he's going to give them an equal alliance. The templars have become too corrupt for his liking, following the will of an envy demon. You'd think that templars of all people would realize when they are being manipulated by a demon but nope.
Some pictures from the quest so far:
Well, after playing another game of Jade Empire to do all the quests I missed the first time around, now I'm ready to pick up my latest DAI game. This will probably be my last full PT for a while, though I do have some quizzys I still need to take through Trespasser. So of course, for funsies, this will be on NM difficulty. ![]()
I created Tal-eb'saam (aka Sam) a while ago but have only managed to do the first part of the prologue. He's just now woken up in Haven after stabilizing the Breach. I don't think I've even opened the door yet for him to see the big crowd that's gathered outside. He did find some spiffy new armor though. ![]()
Anyway, here's Sam, DW rogue:
Maya's unusual adventure of firsts and surprises continued. Completed In Your Heart Shall Burn fairly quickly, again thanks to Bee Grenades. After slogging through Ice Box Canyon and listening to all the devote sing their campfire song, Solas pulled Maya aside for a tense tête-à-tête, as they say in Val Royeaux.
After completing that little chat, the screen faded to white ... and stayed like that. I could hear normal sounds in the background, and sure enough, if I pressed the auto-attack button, I could hear my bow shoot an arrow. But the screen stayed all white. That had never happened in any previous playthrough. The marching to Skyhold cutscene would not start, no matter what I did. When I finally ALT+F4 to quit the program, the same location where I was talking to Solas was revealed, next to the veil torch, but in broad daylight! I could see the camp in the distance. Then the program exited.
Now as you may know, there is no save after the campfire song, and the song can't be skipped, so I had to restart from the slog through Ice Box canyon and listen to the singing again. And again. And again. And again! I could not get that cutscene to start!
Long story short, some mod was breaking my game, so I had to turn them all off. I didn't have the patience to try to isolate which one was breaking it, since it would cost me that entire singing cutscene on every try. Turn them all off was a huge disappointment. I wanted all the mods in play for the crucial becoming Inquisitor cutscene, but it was not to be. There is no save and no opportunity to turn mods back on between the Solas chat and Skyhold Inquisitionation, so I had to stick with vanilla, and given that Maya looks ridiculous without the mods in place, it was painful to watch.

@PapaCharlie9, still want to use mods? *ducks* ![]()
I finally finished the main story featuring my Elven 2H Reaver, Talisia. A few pics to share.
Spoiler
I assaulted a fortress in the Western Approach. It was being used as a bandit hide out. The Inquisition know uses it as base of operations in the area. There is talk of darkspawn in the area. A danger I will have to attend to tomorrow. There is also talk of a high dragon in the area. Bull is demanding we fight it... Personally I think he just likes head butting these things. It isn't interfering with operations, but the threat it could pose if it does turn it;s attention to our forces could be devastating. I'd prefer not to have to kill it as there are so few of them. I cannot deny the threat though. Not a popular view, but I would consider driving them to extinction would make Thedas a lesser place. Nothing thrills and terrifies as much as watching a huge dragon fly over head.
i m back . been a long time .
so now that i have the 3 games and a better pc
i m thinking to star a marathon playing the 3 games on after the other one so i don't get disconected to the DA universe
Maya convinced Three-Eyes to let her into the Grand Lodge of Artificers and easily collected some writings from Varric and a pile of obsidian, but couldn't find any Alpha Quillback thingeys. Maya wandered all over the Western Approach and killed plenty of Quillbacks, but no thingeys. Plenty of Intestines, though, which of course never drop when you need them.
Then she turned a corner and ran into a group of three Quillbacks (Level 9, Even Ground). Huh, never seen them in a herd before. And that one in the middle was unusually large ... OMG, Blackwall! Two hits, Alpha hit Blackwall, Blackwall hit the sand.
Not long after, Viv was down too. Bee grenades were working, but not fast enough. Down to no health potions and no grenades, it was just Maya and Dorian, and Dorian was on his last legs, making a lot of desperate remarks about being too pretty to die. Maya finally put the last of them down. Everyone was in really bad shape with no healing at hand, but Maya was excited that maybe all three thingeys would be dropped by the three Quillbacks.
No such luck, only one! Dorian didn't say it, but Maya knew he was thinking, "We have to do that two more times? Sorry, Dad, you were right, I never should have left Tevinter!"
.... My Hawkes name in my Lavellan save was Death....
In this run, Alistair was broody and jealous of the male Hero of Ferelden slaying the archdemon and dying instead of him.
