Is it my understanding you have three Inquisition characters going simultaneously?

Actually 15 if you count my mod testing crew (one of each race and gender.) but, yes three I play regularly.

I guess I technically have 4 but have not played simultaneously. Do you keep notes on the personality of each character?

I don't copy paste when I write these things because I constantly preview to make sure the spoiler images are buried correctly and that I didn't accidentally pick the wrong image from photo bucket. I'm not sure I understand the complaint about blanket of white other than, perhaps? A comment about it's length. I will write what I write, however, so if length is the problem, just skip me

It's because - on darker background - it looks like that.

Spoiler

It often happens if you copy from another source, be it another site or writing programme. Hell, it sometimes happen if you copy form another post here. That's why Obsidian Gryphon asked about copying.

I had no idea the background was customisable. I always had the whitish (very light grey) background.

[PapaCharlie9]

Argh! I messed up my Fenris romance!  Don't know if it was skipping the flirt with him during the drinking scene or the one flirt I did with Anders right before that but, I got no romance scene/option during A Bitter Pill.   Now I can either plow ahead and possibly romance no one, or go back 7 hrs game time to fix it. Argh!!

Ugh. That's awful. Why don't they provide a progress meter on important stuff like that? Particularly stuff that is just one dialogue choice away from being completely ruined?

[Melbella]

 

I had no idea the background was customisable. I always had the whitish (very light grey) background.

The old forums had black background with white text. Then they switched to here and, with no forewarning, we got white background and barely readable grey text. As per usual on BSN, everyone freaked out.  Eventually they added the alternate background but by then I was used to the white. Also, it didn't really look like the old site, since it's kind of a washed out grey-black (like hair in DAI) so for me, it didn't make it any more readable.

There's "Change Theme" at the bottom left of the page. You should have no trouble finding it while typing a reply.

 

There are two options (with third being mobile version). I prefer the darker one, since it's not so jarring.

 

Edit: Plus what Melbella said

Argh, I know! Emma was just trying to be a friend instead of taking advantage in a vulnerable moment. Boo to being punished for being nice.  Now, the part of me looking ahead to DAI thinks this is great because it makes the Fade choice a no-brainer . But...but....Fenmance.  I guess I can head-canon they get together later, after Danarius is out of the picture for good. I just have to never take him and Isabela anywhere together (which I never do anyway because....reasons ).

 

So, if Hawke has no active romance, does anyone come to see her after Leandra dies? Maybe Aveline or Varric?

I believe Aveline comes to visit, after Leandra's death.

Admittedly it has been a while since I played DA2, but didn't it have a save editor on the PC? If yes, you may be able to change a flag or two, to get the romance to work. Of course, it may not be built the same way the ME versions of Gibb (especially the ME3 gibb editor), in that you might not be able to change current game flags. Instead, only create a save file from scratch from DAO to import to DA2. If that is the case than....forget all I just wrote.

Maybe console commands? (also have no idea if that worked for DA2, having never looked into it. *shrug* ).

As promised, I have a photo recap of Nymisa's adventures. This will be split into three parts, so the first one is Jaws of Hakkon.

 

Spoiler

Last we saw our heroine, she safeguarded the majority of the Frostback Basin under the Inquisition's flag and gained Stone Bear Hold's alliance. Next up, Nymisa, Bull, Dorian and Sera sailed to the Lady's Rest island and encountered the spirit of Ameridan's lover, Telana. Nymisa got an upgrade to the anchor, Aegis of the Rift, which helped in her battles against the Hakkonites.

 

Heading back to the main island, the lady Inquisitor and her team travelled to Razikiel's Watch as Telana's spirit instructed, and cleared out the Hakkonites, who were waiting for them. Harding and Professor Kenric arrived after the fight to explore the old Tevinter ruin. They found a shrine dedicated to both Andrastian and Elven religions.

 

 

 

While Kenric studied the shrine, he was stumped over one of the Elven gods. Nymisa rolled her eyes over his, Every mother finds druffalo among sleeping juniper groves, stint and deadpanned the answer. Poor guy was embarrassed.

 

 

 

They also discovered the ruin had trail markers leading to a large old Tevinter fortress. Once the ice was melted by the marker's magic, Nymisa returned to Stone Bear Hold to gather her allies for a raid with Thane Sun Hair's assistance.

 

 

 

Storming the old fortress at sundown, Nymisa and her team battled through waves of Hakkonites and took down a revenant Gurd Harofsen. 

 

 

After the fight, the lady Inquisitor came face to face with her predecessor, who was also an Elven mage. Same Dalish markings too

 

 

 

 

Ameridan was already passing into the eternal world, so Nymisa carried on his task to slay Hakkon Wintersbreath. This dragon was grouchy when it awoke from the binding spell.

 

 

"Boss! Are we going to kill this dragon?" Bull hollered waving his great sword enthusiastically.

 

Wasting no time, Nymisa, Dorian, Bull and Sera chased the dragon to the frozen fisherman's port. It was a hard fought battle. Nymisa at one point, was K.O'ed, but her spirit form continued to fight valiantly before Dorian resurrected her. He had the life ward ability along with haste.

 

 

I've never gotten to see you take down a dragon. I must say, it's fun seeing it up close.

 

Scout Harding made her appearance when Hakkon Wintersbreath died. She secretly knew about Inquisitor Ameridan and one of Nymisa's guilty pleasures.

 

 

​My feelings for elfroot are classified, Scout Harding!

 

 

Back at Stone Bear Hold, Thane Sun-Hair honoured Nymisa as one of their own, naming her, Inquisitor First Thaw. As an honourary first task, Nymisa judged Strovacker.

 

 

 

Easy verdict

 

Lady! The Huntmaster will make a mockery out of this!

 

 

Meanwhile, at Skyhold...

 

"First, she recruits that Avvar mage abomination to act as an ambassador at the Comtesse's salon; then I received a note from Scout Harding about getting approval to use bogfisher dung for our sieges; and now a bear?! Maker's breath... That woman will be the death of me!" Cullen huffed throwing his hands up.

 

"Come now, Commander. Strovacker will be an excellent addition to the troops. I'm certain you and she will have a roaring good time," Leliana teased.

 

Cullen rolled his eyes, letting out a disgusted snort.

Did you pick the same dalish patterns on purpose back when you made her in the CC on purpose or was it a coincidence?

[Melbella]

Well, the time for pouting is over; it's time to move on. Since I don't want to replay 25% of what I've done so far, here's how Emma got to this point.
Found Bartrand and got him some help

Spoiler

Found a blood mage who actually didn't kill anyone (maybe )

Spoiler

Found a sick excuse for a Templer and put him out of his misery. Plus, Anders looks cool.

Spoiler

Found out Aveline is even more pathetic than Emma when it comes to men.

Spoiler

Found Feynriel (again)

Spoiler

Found some unsavory member of the guard who is apparently scared sh*tless of Aveline.

Spoiler

Found out Merrill has a broken mirror in her house.

On purpose. The patterns suited her best when I created her in the CC.

One of my favourite moments of DA2 

[JD Buzz]

Nymisa's adventures continue in part two.

 

A way to destroy Samson's red lyrium armour

 

Spoiler

Cullen accompanied Nymisa and her party to the shrine of Dumat, where they fought the red templars and confronted Maddox. Even though it was too late for the tranquil mage to answer the interrogation, Nymisa and Cullen left with some evidence to bring back for Dagna to study.

 

 

 

 

 

Regrouping at Skyhold, Dagna quickly finished her studies and presented the lady Inquisitor with a rune to use against Samson. Nymisa and the Commander were pleased with the results and went on to rally the troops for the upcoming battle in the Arbor Wilds.

 

 

 

 

Arbor Wilds battle

 

Spoiler

Arriving in the Arbor Wilds, Nymisa met up with one of the Inquisition Captains and curtly laid out instructions for their soldiers and allies.

 

Make those monsters pay, leave nothing behind!

 

 

We shall not flinch, Your Worship!

 

 

Without a second to lose, Nymisa and her crew chased down Samson, Corypheus and his forces deep into the jungle until they reached the temple of Mythal. Our heroine, Cassandra and Sera were eager to take on the red templar general, but Morrigan stopped them claiming they must enter the temple in a proper fashion, which Dorian had to agree. 

 

 

Just like in the Frostback Basin, Nymisa still recalled her Elven history and went through each of the puzzles. But instead of going though the magical front door, she feigned and dropped down the hole, battling her way through more red templars!

 

I wanted to try this idea after Gili-chan made an earlier post about doing both the rituals and jumping down the crypt with Greed. It worked for me on this run.

 

Morrigan face palmed, muttering a bunch of curses once they reached the inner sanctuary, where they encountered Abelas and his Sentinel Elves. "The blasted front door was easier to go through in the first place!" she snapped knocking the lady in the back of the head with her staff.

 

Agreeing to a temporary alliance, Nymisa and her team followed a Sentinel mage down a secret passageway to the Well of Sorrows, while Morrigan went after Abelas. However, a few times, the lady Inquisitor veered off into different chambers and fought red templars much to the ancient elf's impatience. Sera also stole the Longbow of the Griffon from a treasure chest.

 

Finally, the entourage made it to the Well of Sorrows and confronted Samson, who already dished out the remaining Sentinel Elves. Well, sh!t got real when Nymisa destroyed his red lyrium armour!

 

 

 

 

During the fight, Samson still put up a challenge for Nymisa. Idiot moment for me was not using fade step whenever Samson did his leaping attack... SMH.. But the lady and her team still emerged victorious.

 

 

Suddenly a familiar shadow emerged, heading up the stone steps. 

 

 

"Abelas!" Nymisa shouted running after him.

 

 

Morrigan arrived at the well first, halting the Elven Sentinel leader in his tracks and Nymisa soon followed. Unfortunately, both the witch and Inquisitor got into a b!tchy argument over who's going to use the well's power.

 

 

Maybe no one should use the well! It should be destroyed!

 

 

And what if Corypheus comes after you again?! Using the well's knowledge and power is our best chance to stop him for good!

 

 

Abelas couldn't stand the two ladies bickering, so he left them to settle things on their own. But he loudly warned them, whoever drank from the well will be forever cursed and bound to Mythal's will.

 

Bound?! To a dead goddess, who no longer exists?!

 

Bound, as we are bound. The choice is yours.

 

 

"Oh, just give up this shite! Let the cranky old hag drink it if she wants it that bad!" Sera shouted.

 

"I am NOT a cranky old hag, you..." Morrigan countered, but was cut short when Nymisa shoved her into the well with a loud splash. 

 

"It's yours! Don't come crying to me if something goes wrong!" Nymisa huffed, folding her arms.

 

Dorian and Sera burst into laughter, while Cassandra stood gawking at what the lady Inquisitor did.

 

The witch glared through sopping wet bangs, mustering up a last retort. Just then, she was overcome by a magical mist, urging her to drink.

 

 

Corypheus later entered the temple's balcony and realized the Inquisition outsmarted him again. He screamed in rage and gave a quick pursuit, but it was too late once Nymisa and her team disappeared through a giant eluvian.

 

To be continued...

[Addictress]

Started a new character and going to romance Solas again, but it's mostly to play around with DAI Cinematic Tools. I'll never get those well-composed shots like a lot of fans.... I don't have a photographer's eye... but I never knew that you could pause cut scenes until now! So that will open up a lot more shot opportunities

 

It'll be a female Lavellan again, but I'm trying to craft the very best armor from the get-go now.

[Bardox9]

After surviving waves of undead, I am taking Alistair, Leliana, and Morrigan in Redcliff castle to get at the heart of this evil. I'm told there is a maleficar inside...

 

...Jowain! Jowain was the mage the Arlessa hired. Long story there, but he claims not to be the one behind the demons and zombies and I... well... I believe him. Despite everything, I believe him in this case.  He lied to me last time we met. Got no real reason to accept what he's saying now other than... well... he has a tell. His nostrils flare when he lies. He was never very good at wicked grace. Besides, this Conner is a far more likely suspect. An untrained mage outside the circle whose father is on deaths door... The boys good intentions have paved the road to hell for this arling. What to do next... I need to speak with Irving.

[DarkAmaranth1966]

I guess I technically have 4 but have not played simultaneously. Do you keep notes on the personality of each character?

 

I do, just short ones as to a general type I'm playing each as. "Chan, Temp, Recruit" or "Myth, Mage, Kill." for example What they worship, who the support, how the judge and handle situations in general. Recruit means make them earn it or work for me, Kill means dispose of them however possible, Kind means help or make them help others, etc...

[Krypplingz]

Tried to play Descent with Lavone but the Ogre fight by the bodies got bugged and now I can't continue. I think the Ogre fell into the floor.

The last save before the fight is a hour ago just after reclaiming the first camp, and while it's not hard I'm debating whether to replay it or take this as a divine sign from the Maker. Lavone has no real love for the dwarves. And then there is always the keep if this turns out to be important. 

The Maker has a sense of humor. The Ogre came back. Yay. 

Then the one in Heidrun Thaig decided to hide in the wall. Yay, redo that mess again. But in the end, the Titan was gently lulled to sleep by Cole and Brother Bull. Tomorrow it's time to loot.

[JD Buzz]

Lastly, part three of Nymisa's adventures!

 

Judging Samson

 

Spoiler

So, the ex-red templar general was dragged back to Skyhold to face the lady Inquisitor's judgement. Cullen was also present to interrogate him. 

 

 

Nymisa didn't bother dressing in one of her fancy outfits like she did during previous trials. She swiftly wanted to get this one done and over with.

 

 

The red lyrium will diminish your vengeance! Corypheus will still win!

 

 

You're still loyal to that thing?! He corrupted the Order, and our brothers and sisters!

 

 

Nymisa mulled over her options, thinking of the best way to make Samson suffer. It was either handing him over to Dagna to be her little science experiment; the girl was cheerful, crazy and equally evil while working on several projects. Thank goodness Skyhold wasn't blown up! 

 

She thought about exiling him into the wilderness, but with the red lyrium still posing a problem in several parts of Thedas, it wasn't a choice made lightly. Or she could find the deepest, darkest hole to shove him under. 

 

She chose the last one adding that Samson will be severely tortured within Skyhold's prison until he's dead 

 

I'm sick of looking at you! Get him out of here!

 

 

Once Samson was hauled into the dungeon, Nymisa found Cullen venting in his office. That training dummy got what it deserved...

 

 

 

 

An unexpected encounter and prayers for the fight ahead

 

Spoiler

Heading into Skyhold's garden to meet with Morrigan, Leliana frantically informed Nymisa that the witch went after Kieran through the open eluvian. Nymisa found herself in the fade instead of the crossroads when she stepped through, and saw Morrigan desperately searching for her lost son.

 

Help me find him, Inquisitor. Just a little longer!

 

Travelling down the eerie canyons and winding paths, they finally found Kieran. However, they didn't expect to see another visitor with him. It was none other than Morrigan's mother, Flemmeth, who revealed herself to be the Elven goddess, Mythal.

 

YOU are Mythal?!

 

What do the voices say, dear girl?

 

They say you speak the truth.

 

Flemmeth made a proposal to Morrigan that she will take Kieran with her. But Morrigan angrily protested that her own mother will not steal her son away. 

 

Take over my body now if you must, but Kieran returns with me! I am many things, but I will not be the mother you were to me!

 

Gazing sadly at her grandson, Flemmeth gently took his hands and a bright flash of light appeared.

 

Kieran watched with wide eyes as his grandmother absorbed a spiritual wisp into herself.

 

 

No more dreams?

 

No more dreams.

 

 

A spirit isn't forced onto the unwilling, Morrigan. You were never in danger from me. Listen to the voices, they will teach you as I have not.

 

 

 

Nymisa still couldn't believe what transpired after leaving the fade with Morrigan and Kieran. Thankfully, she didn't drink from the well. The witch of the wilds now has to obey mother dearest for eternity ;P

 

Later, Nymisa and Cullen shared a private moment at a small shrine dedicated to Andraste. Cullen knelt and prayed for those, who will be fighting the last battle and for his lady.

 

 

Whatever happens, you will come back.

 

Is that an order, Commander?

 

As your advisor, I strongly encourage it.

 

 

The last battle and victory

 

Spoiler

Well, Coryface didn't waste time summoning the lady Inquisitor for a showdown at the ruined temple of sacred ashes. Aside from Morrigan, Nymisa took Bull, Dorian and Solas to face off against the so called magister and his red lyrium dragon.

 

 

 

When dragon Morrigan was K.O'ed, Nymisa and her team took down the red lyrium beast.

 

 

 

Racing up two steep flights of stairs, our fearless heroine, along with her party, fought with heart and soul against Coryface.

 

 

 

 

Cory-what's-his-butt desperately called to the old Tevinter gods to aid him, but that was all for naught when Nymisa snatched away the elven orb and sealed the giant rift. She then sent the defeated magister's ugly rear into the fade.

 

 

Hail hail, the gang's all here! Well, most of them. Blackwall/Rainier is locked away in Val Royeaux and that pompous b!tch Vivienne was never recruited. Nevertheless, a celebration was underway!

 

 

Our heroes received a huge welcome back at Skyhold with a large crowd cheering for them. Cullen raced over to his lady love and gave her a big hug, then proudly stood together with Josie and Leliana before the faithful.

 

 

 

The Inquisition's victory party lasted until the wee hours of the morning. However, Nymisa and Cullen snuck away to spend some alone time in her quarters watching the sun rise from the snowcapped mountains.

 

Cullen! You're still not answering my letters, even after the war is over! What in the Maker is wrong with you? You still haven't told us about the Inquisitor, or Nymisa, whoever you call her! Are you still dating her? Are all of those strange stories true about her? - Your loving, but extremely worried and angry sister, Mia

 

Maker's breath, Mia! I'm fine! Yes, I'm still in a relationship with Nymisa. Those stories are exaggerated, don't believe them. Except for the part where she's beautiful. She is indeed beautiful.- Cullen

 

See! That isn't so hard to write a single letter! You have A LOT to make up for, mister! Don't shirk it! - Your relieved, but annoyed sister, Mia

 

P.S. How about inviting Nymisa to come to Honleath? We'd like to meet her! 

 

 

Lastly, surprise surprise! The Chantry elected Leliana as the new Divine, but this is a ruthless Leliana sitting on the sunburst throne 

 

 

There you have it! Nymisa's main story adventures are done! I just bought the Uncharted collection, so Nathan Drake currently has my attention. Other than that, I'm taking a break from DA gaming. Until next time!

[PapaCharlie9]

Fun times with Nymisa! I love all the PANICKED BURNING and BURNING PANIC.

Regrouping at Skyhold, Dagna quickly finished her studies and presented the lady Inquisitor with a rune to use against Samson. Nymisa and the Commander were pleased with the results and went on to rally the troops for the upcoming battle in the Arbor Wilds.

The design of that rune always bugs me. Did they run out of money for modelling and visual design? It's a friggin' dinner plate, for Maker's sake.

Yeah, I feel like they were cutting corners too. During the red lyrium dragon battle, I noticed if you're playing as a DW rogue Inquisitor, they're wielding different daggers than the ones originally shown.

 

I used Natalia mark 2.0 in the example below. In this shot, she has her silverite dual bladed daggers.

 

Spoiler

 

But when she landed the killing blow to that dragon, she's wielding cheap looking, single blade gold daggers.

 

Spoiler

 

 

I get that during development, they must've had these as a placeholder, but didn't animate/render the daggers the player is actually using.

At least she's a DWer. It's really jarring when playing an archer and you still get the DW animation.  Hello, stabby arrows are a thing, people!

Sure, but I'm still annoyed with the continuity. You can't have a DW use one set of awesome looking weapons throughout the majority of the fight and in that scene, see them with sh!tty ones.
