Alistair survived! Also, I remember that argument with my Aria. It was a punch to the gut, what Alistair said, considering how badly my Aria Hawke regretted annulling the Circle. But darned if she'd break down in front of Alistair.More from Andreia's Wayback Machine....

More Wallmance angst....
While Josephine works her magic to get Black....Rainier back to Skyhold, Andreia helps Varric with his little problem. And takes some of her anger out on Bianca (not that the latter didn't deserve it anyway).
Wall judging
And, of course, the real reason anyone romances Blackwall.

Andreia's adventures continue in the Hissing Wastes
I never got this line before after doing Viv's quest. I think I picked the top option this time whereas I usually pick the middle option.
Wicked Grace
Arbor Wilds and Temple of Mythal
Back to the Fade
Final conversations before facing Corypheus
Well, that got a bit lengthy.

I ran into some problems once I made it through the south entrance of the Darkspawn fortress. There were a number of controlled giants that killed my Inquisitor numerous times, and it was good I had the Revive spell with Solas. I hadn't really ran much into problems until then, and will head onto Adamant after finishing the darkspawn quest. My inquisitor simply didn't want them to threaten the fortress while he was at Adamant. I've also had a few Level 3 schematics start to pop up.

With Coryface defeated and Vivienne settled in to her role as the new Divine...
...Andreia decided it was time to follow up on some research she'd heard about from Josephine. She crafted new armor for her squad and off they traveled to the Frostback Basin.
But first, a bit of exploring
The ice wall was a dead end, so time to get friendly with the locals
Fortress raid. I had to reload after starting the raid because I forgot to bring in Cass. Then, because I'd swapped Sera out to make room, I had to go back later to the fortress to get in the locked door. Doh!

The blank look on their faces was disturbing when Alaryn informed the Inner Council of her decision. It wasn't exactly the dullness of incomprehension. It was rather like the confused air about First Enchanter Fiona when they spoke of her invitation to Red Cliffe. As if they didn't know what they were about or what they had discussed weeks before. There was that fuzz of shadowy outlines around each of them. Less sharp in them than in Fiona. When had it appeared?
Just after they returned from Val Royeaux, Alaryn realised. It wasn't so clearly defined as it was now and it wasn't just the Inner Council who exhibited the odd cloudiness. It was around everyone. Was it the effect of this time dilation magic Dorian spoke of? She watched them covertly as they debated on the wisdom of approaching the Templars. Their manner was that of a waking dreamer grasping after the threads of a recent dream moments ago. Slight hesitations in their speech and furrowed brows that spoke of intense groping of recollection. That they did remember was clear, unlike Fiona who plainly could not recall her trip.
Why did it not affect her? Was it the Mark? If the impact of the time spell was spreading as Dorian had warned it would, they had to get the templars immediately. Only they could null and control the effects of magic. It would have to be done quickly before the situation became worse.
"Then it is decided," she cut into their debate, drawing all eyes. "We will approach the Templars with the Orlesian nobility at Therinfall Redoubt in six days. Cass, pick out the troops that will accompany us. I'll pull supplies and meet you at the gates. We'll move out in two candlemarks."
It was after she left the room that she realised she had effectively issued orders to people who were, in a sense, in charge of the Inquisition. None looked upset however or asked questions. They had simply accepted it.

Yay, all my pics are now uploaded!
Divine Vi(v)toria may indeed be a tyrant, but at least she wrote a nice letter to Andreia and made good on her spa day promise.
Reunited with Thomwall Blackrain (or, whatever his name is)
Sera telling it as it likely will be
A few quick trips through the eluvians...
On the way to the Darvaarad
Final meeting with Solas (where I was actually more interested in getting a shot of his giant mirror than of him
3 ending options: 1. thumbs up disband 2. angry disband and 3. angry honor guard. Not sure which I prefer for this PT. I think the first fits Andreia's personality best but I prefer the angry options due to the Exalted Nitwits (as Papacharlie called them elsewhere).
Together for the last time?
Ready for DA4

Created an elf in dragon age Origin to check if it still imported from the Gog version to the Keep. It was successful, so I also made a dwarf to celebrate. Doubt I'll finish either of them, but the Origin stories were fun.
Also checked in with Caron in DAI and did some questing in the Emerald Graves. Thinking about just going ahead with Adamant Fortress, so I made some armor for the group and packed some bees in their lunchboxes. The fort will be assaulted in another session when I'm not as sleepy.
Also checked in on Adahl. Thinking about switching Vivi out for Solas, since Adahl is more supportive of mage freedom than I thought. And besides, they are not that different, bald mages with questionable fashion sense who look pretty young for their age. Anyways, Adahl took down the rebel mages, thus inflicting a plague of Outlaws on the Hinterlands. Also managed to enter Redcliffe and is bothering the local populace before hitting the tavern to get drunk. And meet with the mage leader as well. But mostly to get drunk.

Well, Belinda just got her third, and she just got to Skyhold! I guess the RNG is trying to apologize.
Belinda met the legendary Champion of Kirkwall. He seemed a bit worse for wear.
She spent some of her time on chores around Skyhold: selling stuff, crafting stuff, talking to everyone, exploring Skyhold, jumping on her new bed, that sort of thing.
The rest of her time was for training to be an Assassin. She had Josie hire some trainers. She met with Heir (Belinda wasn't sure if that was pronounced Her or Herr?), and then went to run some crazy errands. Both Deathroot and Assassin Weapons? The first required a trip to the Western Approach, the second a trip to Crestwood. Oh well, she liked the Western Approach and she had to go to Crestwood anyway to meet Hawke's warden friend, so.
(Towards the goal of seeing and doing things differently, I found this loot bag near the first camp in the WA that I have never seen before. I'd farmed this part of the Western Approach a good hundred times or so, yet managed to miss this!)
Belinda met a very friendly doggy and a very pretty dragon in the Western Approach. Or was it a friendly dragon and a pretty doggy? She couldn't remember. The Iron Bull was very excited about fighting the dragon.
WARNING: don't do what I did! Because I find the exclamation marks distracting in Skyhold, I talked to all three trainers and activated their quests. That makes the marks go away. BUT, it also unleashes the Alpha Quillback gangs in the Western Approach (for Artificer). If all you need from the Western Approach is some Deathroot, you don't want to be fighting these bad boys, trust me. Wait until after you got your Deathroot, then go talk to the rest.

So after finishing Andreia's story, I decided I was ready to play Trespasser with my very first Inquisitor, Andariel, who romanced Solas (don't worry, I already played Trespasser with a Solasmancer; Tanith was heart-broken but I think Andariel will be a little more on the PO'd side
).
Anyhooo....I started out by syncing with the nug and taking stock of current weapons and armor. I finished her game before storage chests were a thing, so she doesn't have much in the way of inventory to choose from. So, normal difficulty for her + a few trials on. I crafted her some new armor and a new dagger but left everyone else as is because....lazy.
Also, not all of my potions and whatnot were upgraded, so I decided to go blood lotus hunting before doing anything else. Got to the Hinterlands Crossroads to buy about 3K gold worth of blood lotus and stopped for a quick chat with Corp. Vale. Only to discover, I hadn't completed In The Elements!
Those poor refugees spent the entire game freezing to death!
So out of guilt (and also because she needed to locate a few missing mosaic tiles) off Andariel went to mark all the supply caches for Recruit Whittle (why is he still just a recruit even after Cory is dead??) and then officially recruit Vale as an agent. Better late than never, I guess.
I also have a couple of regions to mark (including the one that was bugged in the Dales) and a landmark in Emprise to find. Plus a few other things. So much for heading straight into Trespasser.
I still don't think I will do either of the other 2 DLCs but who knows? There's a lot of loot in Descent, and good mats in JoH so.....ugh!

I finished the Adamant mission with a heavy heart, I really didn't want to let Loghain cover our escape, but I wan't ready to let Varric know I left Hawke in the fade. No doubt it was a tough mission with numerous pride demons, but I finished it and it was another black eye for Corypheus. I recruited the Wardens and they joined the Inquisition.

I was just thinking... I have one Hawke who loved Anders and went off to Weisshaupt. Then another Hawke who sacrificed herself in the Fade. A City Elf who stayed a Warden with romanced Alistair. A cousland who used him to get the throne. I have my first Quiz married retired happily with Cullen. A second redeeming prisoners with Blackwall while supporting Cassandra.
How does one pick a Cannon play through when all of the Characters did something I relished that made them dear to my heart? I want them all to exist.
Time for bed eh?

Do the multiple realities ever get mixed in your mind?
I'm afraid I have a one track mind.
I didn't make too many paths for any of the DA protags. It's two for the female Warden, two for female Hawke and one each for F/M Inquisitor. All of them are human. So where I'm concerned, I'm easy. ![]()
*****
They accomplished their objective; acquiring help from the Templars, but they had never envisioned the rot of red lyrium spreading within Templar ranks or that the Lord Seeker was a envy demon. Alaryn eyed the survivors with sympathy. Their beliefs and confidence in themselves were shattered with the betrayal of their leaders. Ser Barris was the only one whom they could depend on now. She looked at Cass when he came to up them; what would the Inquisition offer the Templars? The shadows behind Cass's eyes were less defined at the moment but her unspoken plea was clear to Alaryn.
"An alliance," said Alaryn. The offer bolstered the templars; they were still of worth. Barris understood the chance she was offering them and promised they would help to remove the Tewinter mages and sealed the Breach. Good news to Alaryn's ears and the party.
Their good mood dropped when they met a courier from Leliana on the way to Red Cliffe. The mages were all gone. They had left a few days ago for parts unknown, led by an agent from someone called Calpurnia. Alexius himself had apparently disappeared. No one knew where. The odd time eddies about the town was also gone. Whether this was connected to Alexius, they had no idea. What to do?
Sealed the Breach, decided Alaryn. They could not waste time chasing after the mages. The fuzzy shadows of the people around her had disappeared. Did Alexius die? If he did, did the time dilation spell died with him? Alaryn had no idea but she wasn't going to sit around wondering about it. It was a puzzle that could be dealt with later. The Breach was now the immediate problem. They headed back to Haven with the senior Templars and those troops ready to make the attempt to close the hole in the sky.
*
She had screamed. Two forces warred to consume her. As her body burned with unnatural fire within, she fought to impose her will on the burgeoning power in the tear. We should have waited. Tried to get the mages, I don't think I can do this. Even as that thought flashed through her mind, she felt a constriction in the flow of wild power; the templars were succeeding in their efforts. Encouraged, she gritted her teeth against the pain and exerted every ounce of her being, her will into closing the Breach. Something flared and surged against the combined forces, throwing everyone away with explosive force.
Did we fail?
*
The headache had subsided. Alaryn ached all over as she sat at a vantage point overlooking Haven. Campfires burned merrily, music and laughter rang through the night as people celebrated the closing of the Breach. If they sounded somewhat wild, that was to be expected. She rubbed her left hand absently as she stared down at the scene. She was thankful the fires that had raged through her body had dwindled to barely a throb in her hand. She would have gone mad if it had continued to burn.
A hand fell on her shoulder. She looked up to see Cass smiling down at her. The Seeker glanced down at the village. "They would all be impossible tomorrow."
Alaryn chuckled. "Lucky for us."
"I do not begrudge them," said Cass as she sat down next to her. "They deserve no less." She continued to observe the drunken revelry. "We have closed the Breach. The Inquisition have accomplished the impossible."
"That we did."
"Now all that remains is to create an agreement between the templars and the mages before they even think of fighting each other again. Not an easy task, I agree," said Cass when she heard the heavy sigh from Alaryn.
"I don't think it can be done without some form of change. The old practices cannot be sustained any longer."
"True but in order for those changes to stay, we need a new Divine."
"Provided she's even willing to condone changes." Alaryn rubbed her left hand. The movement drew Cass's eyes. "Does it still trouble you?"
"It no longer burns." Alaryn held up her hand. "Where does it come from? Who made it? How did I get it? So many questions." She lowered the hand. "We still have to find out who was responsible for the explosion at the Conclave."
"That will be..," began Cass.
They stiffened with shock when the clear tone of the alarm bell rang out.

There is a little problem.
Not so little...
What is your problem with me?
It looks like there's a chance, just talk, I like to hear...

Just finished the Arbor Wilds. Before doing that, I've complete all the areas besides the valley with the shards. Completed all the character side quests. So really all I have left to do is the main story final quest, the DLC, use the shards in the forbidden valley, and ultimately Trespasser.

Ack! Curse my completionist mentality! Andariel traveled all over the Wastes, the Graves, the Plains, Emprise du Lion, and back to Crestwood to complete her mosaic collection.
Along the way, she killed all the dragons that had previously eluded her (Hivernal, Ravager, Northern Hunter, and Vinsomer). Back at Skyhold, Josephine shoved a desperate letter from Orzammer in her face: disaster in the Deep Roads! Please help! Sigh.
