Wait, so that means you can't play DLCs either? o_O

Not without removing the mods first.

I actually kinda like the fact that PJ mods don't work in Trespasser. I can finally use stuff from the wardrobe without having to disable everything else (or re-merge).

 

Andreia and team attacked Adamant, killed a bunch of demons (and a few Wardens), fell into the Fade, met the "Divine," escaped the Fade, and now she's back at Skyhold looking for someplace to hide. She went to the garden, but Morrigan was there, so that was out. She went to the barn to talk to Blackwall but he wasn't there (he's chopping wood but Andreia didn't notice) so she left. Then she went to the Great Hall on the way to her quarters, but soldiers were guarding her throne which means Josie has someone lined up for her to judge so nope. She's currently in the library with Dorian.

I'd always thought they were just there for formality. But actually guarding it? Like one of the folks we catch can break free and get us?

Speaking of prisoners, I think that weird basement library is where Alexius the Tranquil/Agent should work and was a total wasted opportunity for using that space. :/

Totally unrelated, but I am running into the issue that I can't post in the Dragon Age Origins, DA2, or Combat portion of DAI. Is there some sort of request I'm supposed to put in?

The tale continues,

 

 

It's taken a few days, but we reach the ruin Ariane mentioned. The place reeks of Darkspawn corruption. I can feel them all around us, but they are scattered. If we attack quickly when we come across them, we should be able to fend them off easily even in these numbers. The Darkspawn and tainted beasts don't bother me. My ring... it's been active all day... I THINK it warms when Morrigan is thinking about me or she's stressed, but why would it be active for an extended period... The runes only allow us to sense one another. With enough concentration a feeling or a single thought can be shared. The connection is extremely limited... and brief  It shouldn't be active this long. Ariane noticed that I fiddle with the ring a lot. I think she is beginning to realize who personal this search is for me.

 

The ruin itself is remarkably well preserved, all things considered. I could spend a year in here just studying the murals in the halls. One of them in particular fascinated me. I made the mistake of taking out the tomb I stole from the Circle to try and identify the importance of the figure... Finn had a minor conniption that ended when Ariane picked a small mushroom out of the wall and ate it. Finn fainted.

 

After Finn collected himself, we pressed on. We have a few scraps with the beasties within, but nothing too tough. The worst that happens in reaching the broken mirror is that fin got dirt on in his robe. What a tragedy... When we reach the Eluvian, Finn actually becomes useful again in studying the remains of the relic. Ariane goes into a half remembered legend of a story of a rumor about the elves of old. I wasn't listening. My ring... it's still warm... is she in trouble? What does it mean... My contemplation is interrupted by the sound of the locals rising to kick us out. We have what we came for. Time to go...

 

...we find a secure spot to camp for the night and plan our next move. Cadash Thaig. Never thought I would return there... The ring has calmed down some, but it still hasn't returned to it's dormant state. I've tried calling out to her, but she won't or can't respond... The Magisters used Eluvians for communicating between cities, but they were only able to partially activate the Eluvians. Of course , they weren't trained by the Witch of the Wilds... What are you up to Morrigan. Why do you want this damned thing so badly? What does it actually do?... The tomb I have on the subject is obnoxiously vague... perhaps even misleading... I'm only half way through though. Maybe the second half will make sense of the first half... "Cross roads..." what cross roads? To where?.... What does that even mean?...

Finished act 3 with Katashi yesterday and started his Inquisitor today. Katashi had a lot of "dad" moments in his last act. Lot's of "I'm proud of you" and some "I'm not angry, just disappointed in you" with Isabela. Thinking about head-canoning that he started a relationship with a seamstress from Lowtown and they spawned a few kids that Varric left out of the tale because they were kids. Anyways he ended up shanking Anders (because his actions caused alot of people to get killed) and then siding with the mages (because he is neutral good by nature). Then everybody abandoned him and he spent the rest of his life alone and on the run. Poor boy. 

Katashi also completed Legacy somewhere in middle of act 3, first siding with Janeka and then switching to Larius. 

 

His Inquisitor was an elf named Adahl Lavellan. A bit curious what gender and age people might guess they are. 

Spoiler

But he's a guy, thinking he's a bit young. Maybe 16, or few years older if he ends up in a romance. Or maybe he'll have a chaste crush on Harding and then his age can be the reason why it doesn't really go anywhere and won't be referenced in later games.

 

An apprentice Halla Herder that managed to blackmail the Keepers First to let him follow her to the conclave, then used a loop hole in her instructions to take a peek inside the temple. Spotted the divine, followed her and hid outside the ritual room, his heroic side then forcing him to interfere in the ritual. 

 

So far he's a bit of a white liar, telling the Inquisition that he was a hunter and adding a few years to his age, silently praying to his gods that his dad doesn't show up and drag him home by his ears. He's fairly heroic, a bit annoyed that people see him as a herald to some human god figure, but grateful to be doing something other than tending Halla. Not that he doesn't like them, he just always wanted something more to his life. 

 

His combat training is going well, he already had the basics from sparring with the clans hunters and he tended to be fairly quick on picking up physical skills. Increasing his mental skills might take more work, but there is hope for him. (Also a decent reason for him to be a bit behind on elven lore). 

 

So far he's just been dealing with master Dennet's problems and saving up power to enter Val Royeaux. Thinking about pairing him with Vivi, Iron Bull and Cole.

I was thinking the other day, when I was still doing my Solasmance and kind of hating on the Egghead.... I thought how funny it would be to make my Solasmance Elf Quiz as ugly as possible and him still acting Gaga over her like he does and just laughing and laughing. But that got me thinking about older Inquisitors in general; how old can one really make an Inquisitor considering they start at level one. I mean, I suppose you can say that even a 40 ish old Elven Archer still never shot to kill moving humanoid intelligent targets, but then again, those should actually be easier; they're bearing down on you, not trying to get away like most prey. So maybe they've picked up a weapon every now and then, but mostly can afford goods at the local butcher. We have to work a bit harder to make an Older Quiz work. So, I find it interesting you tried to make your elf young, but especially young. And I like how it ties in with you goal to apparently romance no one. And that you picked Viv (Know it all Mom) and Iron Bull (know it all Dad) and Cole (clueless to humanity, he is child like.)

Romancing the Wall: Judgement Day

 

Spoiler

 

The long horse ride back did nothing to lighten her mood. Sleeping did nothing either. It was easy to be angry when she was all by herself but once she actually got face to face with someone? The anger would just make her tired and she'd just fall back on sadness. Mara wished she weren't such a pushover, wished anger could carry her forward; then immediately rethought that. Anger had carried her through a beheading but it didn't comfort her afterwards did it? Sigh. What she lacked was confidence. Who would have confidence through this whole ordeal? Someone who wasn't her, that's who.

 

Mara headed down to the Main Hall to find a pair of guards at the Judgement Chair. Certainly wasn't a throne, she never sat on it for anything but Judgements. Clenching her jaw, she sat herself down and waved at Jose to begin. Let's get this over with.

 

They brought Florianne before her. Oh her. She'd almost forgotten that sad woman's existence. Had she been hanging in Skyhold's prison cell a while? Still, Mara took this opportunity to cheer herself up with some acid remarks.

 

"Welcome to Skyhold. This is my party." Mara said with a dark smile. Florianne just grimaced at her poor taste in humor. But past that, the fun was short lived.

 

 

Mara really heavily considered shaming the woman further into being Skyhold's Jester but... Ugh. It just wasn't in her. Mara took a gamble and made her an Agent of the Inquistion. Maybe Mara's angry disinterest in her duties was making her reckless.

 

Next up? Mistress Poulin.

 

 

The woman who'd actually been selling her own townspeople into mining slavery, the sick and elderly, for food to feed the rest.  Mara felt nothing but disgust for her. Maybe Mara could not understand the position the woman had been in but she could not imagine making the same decision. So, Mara decided she'd be stripped of all that made her life and put to hard labor.

 

"You will spend all your ill earned money to rebuild the town of Sarhnia.  If the townspeople forgive you-" Which Mara seriously doubted, " your debt to them will be repaid."

 

And off Poulin went to her new life.

 

Next? Mara looked at Jose with expectation. They both knew what Mara wanted. But Jose shook her head. Fine. Their former comrade had still not arrived. 

 

Still, it was rather on Mara's mind a lot. She changed her outfit. Had the Judgement chair changed. "Wrath of Andraste" appealed to her. The stage was set and whatever Mara chose to do with him? She would do with style. What would she do with the man? She spent the rest of that day walking the ramparts. The short answer of what she would do with him? Nothing good. But not death, certainly. Her mind had fractured slightly beheading a sociopath; she may as well behead herself for all the good beheading Thom would do...There must be a solution that fit the crime. Mara remember her judgement of the Crestwood Mayor. She'd sent him to the Wardens. The real Blackwall had intended Thom to join the Wardens. Perhaps it was only fitting that another, a woman that had once believed in him, even loved him, would push him to finish that journey. Mara nodded. Yes. Quite suitable. Her mind, finally feeling some ease, quit continuing it's endless circles and she slept rather peaceful that night in her certainty. 

 

The stage did not stay empty for long. Jose notified her of his arrival immediately; he spent not one moment in Skyhold's prison and was brought immediately before her. Mara intentionally tried to look as relaxed as possible. No. This didn't bother her at all. The Skyhold residents kept a respectful distance for once, but nonetheless watched on for the next exciting piece of gossip. But her feigned nonchalnce didn't last long as Jose made her announcement.

 

 

Whoa. Mara took a quick breath and released it. This was, to say the least, surreal. All the enemies and captured criminals that had been brought to her for judgement and now stood before her...A man who had murdered people for coin. A family, children included, because that's how 'war was done and won.' And when that coin had bought him a death sentence, he had ran away, a coward. Left his men, loyal men, to die for what he'd led them unknowingly to do.

 

Jose continued, unaware of Mara's inner thoughts. "His crimes--- Well," she paused,"you are aware of his crimes. It was no small expense to bring him here, but the decision of what to do with him is now yours."

 

That was one version of the man who stood before her; and one she'd only recently met. The man she'd fallen for... The man with a hard edge who had set her straight on his worth to the Inquisition. Who had inspired farmers to push against bandits. Who had hotly argued for what was right where others seemed to falter. An Idealist, who believed so strongly in heroism he started to become the image itself. A man disinterested in politics but who would follow Mara unquestionally into the mire that was "The Game." He treated her as if she were a Goddess; as if the world would shake if she only willed it.He'd been seeking redemption for years through service before he'd met her. And when he realized he could not continue, that he was not worthy of her love with this lie sick in his heart...he turned himself in. 

 

There was that sadness again; her face couldn't hide that. "I didn't think this would be easy but it's harder than I thought." Much harder, and judging by his look, he didn't believe her.

"Another thing to regret." He shook his head, and glared up at her, accusation lining his words. "What did you have to do to release me?"

Mara felt as if she were the one being judged.His gaze could do that to people. She'd never known it would be turned on her. It made her uncomfortable. "Josephine called in a few favors. There are enough people out there who owe the Inquisition."

Thom sneered, and Mara's chest tightened. "And what happens to the reputation the ambassador has so carefully cultivated?" Thom demanded. He rose up, righteous, even in chains. "The world will learn how you've used your influence and know the Inquisition is corrupt."

Mara shook her head; even she knew the world was not that black and white. Still, sadness still lay on her, making her feel heavy. "Once the world is back to normal, no one will remember this."

If anything, he rose up even taller, and he locked eyes with her before he spoke. "I'll remember."

 

Mara felt chided; like she was the one in chains and he on this would be throne. His words lashed her; he'd helped her to believe in the very things he was espousing. Her jaded comments won her no wiggle room in his assessment. Mara felt angry again. Good. Right?

 

Thom let his look slide off her. "I accepted my punishment. I was ready for all this to end." Confusion began to enter his speech. "Why would you stop it? What becomes of me now?"

 

Mara hugged her anger close. She brought the words to mind that she had thought of the night before. That she would let the Wardens have him after he'd helped stop Corypheus. That it was what the real Blackwall would have wanted. And Thom would accept it; as much as he'd just lashed her with his words, he would honor the judgement of the Inquisition just as he would have let Orlais hang him till dead. She wet her lips. She paused.....because that wasn't the right choice.

"You have your freedom." Even Mara was surprised at what she said, but the rightness of the decision suffused her being.

If Mara were surprised, Thom was downright shocked. "It can't be as simple as that." He finally said.

Mara continued, a touch of eloquence that rarely visited her choosing her following words carefully.

 

Thom continued to look and sound shell shocked. Finally, he spoke. "It will take time." He paused. Mara noticed his righteousness and anger had left him. His gaze returned to her and this time she saw...was that hope? "You would accept that? And what I used to be?"

 

It was Mara's turn to be shell shocked. Was he...did he mean to....

He took one step towards where she stepped. Then another, his chains ringing.

 

 

Mara could do nothing but breath and stare. Was this happening?

He took advantage of her loss for words and continued. "No matter what I was, or what becomes of me.... right now, I'm just a man with his heart laid bare."

 

This was happening.

 

"I leave it in your hands." He ended, a tone of finality and acceptance carrying through until the very end.

 

The words wouldn't come, the anger was gone. She was lost, looking at this man. This man was no Warden to be idealized. He also wasn't Thom the murdering traitor of Orlais distant cousin, in deed, to Erimond. But he had lied to her about so much... She could hear herself tell him that. Tell him she could never trust him again; that their relationship could never resume. Could even see him accept it with his characteristic chivalrous attitude and bow away to return to his duties. Mara closed her eyes. LEaned her head back briefly. And let herself just feel. And what she felt? Yes, hurt. Yes, anger. Overwhelmingly, however, she felt love. Romantic, throw caution to the wind love. She could chide herself all she wanted, remind herself of his past misdeeds, but that emotion was true. She had her answer.

"I don't know where we'll end up, but I'm willing to give us a second chance." Mara watched his expression closely. A brief glimmer of happiness before he frowned and cast his eyes downward.




She stood, which made him raise his eyes. He followed her every step as she brought herself closer to him. Looking down into his eyes, she inwardly smiled.

 

He seemed to think that mildly amusing. "It'll be a nice change." That response did make Mara smile.

 

Thom stepped closer. Mara noticed the crowd but didn't care. Heard the chains that still bound Thom, but chose not to listen.

 

Mara reached out her right hand to caress his cheek as she had done many times before.

 

Thom closed the space between them, and Mara's world melted a bit.

 

They gazed at each other a moment; and then Thom decsended the stairs again, humble, yet happy. He turned to get his chains unlocked by the guard. 

 

Gosh. This hadn't gone the way she'd planned at all. And for that? Mara was glad.

 

 

 

Yay, my Romancing the Wall series is done until Trespasser.

 

i was reviewing all of my writing about Mara up to this point. Right at the Scene with Dorian's dad, my writing style for this story drastically changed towards the very detailed without my having officially chosen to do so. I am amused.

 

In other news? I may have decided to kill Elsabeth, my second playthrough elf I chose for Solasmancing. I think I had no idea how to be an elfy elf. I also think I was more interested in doing and choosing things I hadn't chosen before than playing a character that made sense. I mean, she has the least elfy name too! My humans have more interesting names! I don't like her; she is boring. And her decision not to drink from the Well of Sorrows, a well of a major chunk of elven knowledge? Because Solas told her not to. ugh. And she's not passionate enough to still love him two years later in Trespasser, and the only friggin kiss I want from that elf is the Tragic one he gives as he takes "my" arm. Perhaps my sudden thoughts on this was Ameridan. He was an elfy elf and yet not an elfy elf. He was an elfy elf I could respect. I will study what it is like to be an elfy elf with Warden Abelas and brush up on my lore. and do my Solasmance elf right next time. Elsabeth will have to die.

 

Lost an hour or so sleep to my 3rd try at a Quiz Warrior sexy enough for Dorian. I feel pretty satisfied with it. I used this: http://65.media.tumb...mr38o3_1280.png

Andreia finally came out of the library and made the rounds to talk to everyone about what happened at Adamant. She purposely left Varric for last since his best friend  Emma Hawke was left in the Fade.  

 

Then, rather than deal with judgments or planning the next move at the WT (and really to avoid Morrigan hijacking the meeting) she rounded up her team and headed to frozen Emprise du Lion. Time to kick some Red Templar butt.

[Mike3207]

I'm working on the 10 agent achievement-before choosing mages or templars. I've got 7 now and am working on Corporal Vale and the Horsemaster. I'll have to deal with the renegade mages to recruit Vale, and have set up the watchtower portion for horsemaster. Cleaning House will follow, and that should be enough for the achievement.

 

The apostate caches was a pain. They all seem in out of the way places, particularly this one of a mountain that for the life of me was very hard to get to. It's a good thing I only have to do it once a playthrough

There's an achievement for 10 agents?? (Starts counting on fingers and toes ...) Jana, Speaker Anais, Lord Berand, Clemence, Master Dennet, Enchanter Ellendra, Ritts, Tanner, Belle, .... nooooooooo! I only ever get nine every playthrough. Well, in every abbreviated playthrough, which is all I do now. I probably did more agents in my canon playthrough.

The Irregulars are a pain, I almost never get that agent. I can't be bothered with the ram meat part.

 How can you not have every achievement by now??!

 

I read somewhere that you can kill rams around Haven, instead of the ones in the Hinterlands, for the ram meat. I usually just control Varric since Bianca + explosive shot will usually 1-shot kill them.

If you get all the agents in the Hinterlands (8, I think?) then you only need 2 more after that for the achievement.

Height comparisons. The shot with Varric just cracks me up for some reason.

Spoiler

I can't decide what she should wear in Haven. Antaam-saar is good eye-candy, but the rational part of my brain sees snow and a bare belly and thinks someone should tell the tall girl to put a jacket on. The Shokra-taar is too warrior/linebacker looking for a rogue. The Fires of the Inquisition DLC armor is too magey for a rogue. The "Welcome to Haven" starter armor (Scout Armor) is more reasonable, but I don't like the giant butt flap -- I might breakdown and add the "Buttflap Be Gone" mod. The modded Skyhold PJ looks really good, and is sensible for the climate, but it kind of feels a cheat to have Skyhold stuff in Haven.

Spoiler

This shot also shows makeover mods for Cass and Leliana.

Scout Coat with buttflap flying in the breeze, wait, what breeze, it's in a closed room!?

I can't imagine not feeding the poor starving refugees-similar to not cleaning out the gangs in Denerim in DAO. It's just one of the things a hero does.

 

 8 in Hinterlands-if you count Clemence as Hinterlands,One in Val Royeaux, and then you decide if you want to go Templar for Ser Barris or make Alexius an Agent in Skyhold with the mages. If you prefer the mages you can get the Blades of Hessarian with the Storm Coast as well.

[PapaCharlie9]

 How can you not have every achievement by now??!

No ...   I lack ambition.
 
Let's see what DA Keep says about my career: 
 
DAI Accomplishments: 83%
Rewards: 50%
DLC: 80%
 
For achievements, I'm missing:

• Stargazer (wow, really? I thought I unlocked all those doodads in a single PT -- I think I earned that one, but didn't get registered)
• Keymaster (I have definitely unlocked all the doors in the Forbidden Oasis temple, what a ripoff!)
• Quartermaster (that one I can believe I didn't do, who wants to do 20 requisitions?)
• Firestarter (JoH DLC, light all the fire pits, I think I missed one   , only did that quest once so far, I could probably dig up the save, but, meh)
• I don't have any of the Trials challenges, except for Emperor, which you get just by turning Walk Softly on and fighting mooks
  • Wait a second! I don't have Trial of the Hermit, the Great Bear one? After all those Great Bears I tried to farm? Another ripoff, but in this case, not enough Great Bears showing up when I have the Trial on, as I've whined about before
• I'm missing Lateral Thinker from Trespasser, but I have the others

Very true, but my last playthrough, a Carta dwarf, was as far from a hero as you can get without sending Cole packing. On the other hand, Stennis before that was a hero, so I guess I did the Irregulars then. I've got the achievement, probably on my canon run, in any case.

I never get the Blades of Hessarin any more, I prefer farming those guys as enemies. Besides, I don't like killing his mabari!

Maybe because when I see "Hessarian Hound" my brain converts it to "Hell Hound,"  but I don't mind killing them or the leader guy at all. I usually headcanon the Blades as my ace-in-the-hole-giving-me-accurate-intelligence spies when doing Bull's mission there. Gatt can get stuffed.

@Papa - Don't forget Skywatcher, from the Fallow Mire. (unless you don't do that map. *shrug*). Easy enough to get, and I like his little addition from the WT, when playing through JoH. "Skywatcher....you sly dog!"

Yeah, I never open the Fallow Mire unless I'm desperate for Dawn Lotus. I like those two battles, rift and the final boss, but I'm usually in a rush to do something else, then I can't be bothered.

My tenth is most likely to be Michel de Chevin, since I always clear the keep in EdL.

Well, while everyone is going full out on their adventures, I'm just going to say that after every main mission, it's a beeline to Cassandra 

[GoldenGail3]

AGH. GOSH DANG IT CASSANDRA, STAP STEALING MY GUYS WILL YOU? Josie needs one too.


My current playthrough - A Male Mage Trevelyan - supposes to be a Josie romance but I'm losing the battle though - Cassandra is my new Alistair and so...Aaron might end up with Cassandra, like it or not.

Well, while everyone is going full out on their adventures, I'm just going to say that after every main mission, it's a beeline to Cassandra 

You are wiser than words... I have to avoid speaking to Cassandra - it's the only WAY I can successfully romance Josie.

I submit my 4th CC try at an Inquisitor to romance Dorian. The Inquisitor I'm shooting for is a faithful Andrastrian who takes his duty as Inquisitor seriously. Templar Warrior. He will be a "Hero"; in every sense of the word. He will be pretty enough for Dorian while charisma laser beams out from his strongly lined eyes. My other goal was that he would not be Caucasian. 

 

This would be new for me in a variety of ways; my characters have always been agnostic or straight up atheist. I have never played a Warrior. And I've never played stereotypical Hero, either.

 

Varras; 4th try

I feel like my last Inquisitor try was pretty enough to possibly be a male model and certainly had the look of a hero about him. But he had no character to him; in a world of elves and qunari and totally accepted full face tattoos, an aesthetically placed scar wasn't enough to excite me.

 

Tyrus; 3rd try

My 4th try has freckles, scars, and a hard to miss tattoo. Also, I need to settle, because I'm running out of Tevinter names I can stand.

Ooh, I like Varras.....I think it's the mussed-up hair.

I named my canon Quizzie Artemis because it was the name of the Greek Goddess of Hunt, and plus I like the name Artemis too.
