Hmm, Dragons:

 

1: Fereldan Frostback. Status: Dead

2: Gamoran Stormrider. Status: Dead

3: Northern Hunter. Status: Dead

4: Vinsomer. Status: Dead

5: Abyssal High Dragon. Status: Dead

 

Reached influence level 11 somewhere along the way, but because I have so little agents in the 'secrets' department (0, to be exact o.O I have a feeling I bugged out there...), I've found myself wasting quite a few points there to get the deft hands perk. Next perk will be the 'master focus' or whatever it's called, mostly to get the tier 3 version of Sera's Thousand Cuts.

 

But, I picked Forward Scouts.. and that reveals quarries and logging camps on the map. Great

 

Need to kill more Dragons and find myself some masterwork staff to craft with dragon bone

 

edit: hmm, seems I can't get the best staff anymore because I let Bull keep his troops in his personal quest. Bah

 

edit 2:

 

6. Greater Mystral. Status: Dead

Hopefully 3rd time's the charm - I keep deleting everything I write, generally right before I post it,

 

In the last few days, Neriana the Dalish Mage has become a rift mage (and respecced because of it), broke Blackwall's heart, ignored Cullen to wait on Solas, made the Exalted Plains a much safer place to be (well, most of it at least) and wandered off in search of the Grey Wardens in the Western Approach. Unfortunately, shinies abound there as well as everywhere else so my path to the Grey Wardens has not been straight.

 

The time-stopping Venatori are no more and yay for cool staff and rune. After heading back to Skyhold to create the rune (because apparently I've killed more than 6 Arcane Horrors) and give it to Blackwall, it's back to the Western Approach and the Hyena's and poisonous spiders and other icky things, including that dragon I saw flying in the distance.

 

One weird thing - I can't finish up the stuff for the Dalish clan in the Exalted Plains because every time I approach the keeper to talk to him (which I have to do to finish the quest) he disappears. As in blinks out of existence between 1 step and the next. Hopefully, I will be able to go back in a few days and it'll work because, well, my Dalish inquisitor wants to help the Dalish clan. I didn't even desecrate the graves at the one temple regardless of how much great stuff might be there.

 

Oh. And I also got assistance on the Dead Hand puzzle. I got 3 of the 4 but had no idea on how to get the last to work. And I don't regret it in the least. At least it wasn't like that puzzle in the Temple of Sacred Ashes where you generally had to go back to step 1 when you messed up.

Finally managed to complete my 100 % perfect playthrough!

Happy endings always good!



mage playthrough soon

You have spoilt it with your stumblings.

Spoiler

[dreamgazer]

Just turned in some Fennec Fangs for research. Relieved, because those battles were intense.

(I'm on rift-closing and red lyrium-destroying duty throughout the Western Approach for the time being).

[AshesEleven]

Started my second play through, a FemDalish Warrior.  Want to romance SOLAS because SOLAS.  

[Spectre Impersonator]

Recorded the bugged/ruined romance between my sexy qunari and Cassandra to show Bioware how their lack of testing resulted in a spoiled moment.

Wait... you mean if you don't take any loot the dalish keeper feels that you didn't desecrate the tomb, even if you bust everything wide open?

 

D'OH!  Leave it to the elves to ruin the best part of dungeon-crawling. 

 

*ahem* This, uhh, this Sera romance pursuit may be affecting my perception of elves... a bit.

Found a dragon...didn't attack it...but looted the Quarry behind it and took a screenie

Is that the dragon in the exalted plains? Other than closing a couple fade rifts, the dragon is the last thing I have to do on the plains... Well, not quite. Still have to impress the elves enough to let me recruit one as an agent for the inquisition. Need three great bear hides, or maybe claws. Haven't seen a single bear of any kind anywhere, but I figure they must be somewhere.

[Hornless Qunari/Human DPS]

Saving the Mages wooppeee time magic ... brought Cass and Viv along.

[Melbella]

I just ordered a new video card and power supply so that I can play the game at something other than slo-mo speed. Hopefully the new gear doesn't cause my cpu to melt.  

 

In the meantime, heading back to the Emerald Graves after I unload some inventory. 90 slots still isn't enough! Heck, 125 + a couple of storage chests isn't enough in DAO.

A storage chest is a definite must have. I agonized for days over selling Bull's default Axe, and I'm still holding on to Cole's hat in hopes that they'll let me wear it someday.

It might be that the bears can be found in the Hinterlands or Storm Coast.

That was my thought, but when I went to the Hinterlands, all I found were a couple Venatori to kill for Dorian. Now he really likes me.

Then I thought I'd definitely find some on the Storm Coast while I was there to rescue Sutherland, because they were all over the place last time I was on the coast. I did find a couple but apparently they weren't 'great' enough.

I found two bear types in Hinterlands southwest side. Now I was on a Hinterlands bear quest at the time, looking for bear claws. I don't remember the names, but they were brown and grey, and only the grey ones were part of that quest. Don't know if it's the same bears you need though.

[TheJediSaint]

I just realized how nice the Hissing Wastes look on Ultra.

I remember those bears. I came across them fairly early, almost too early judging by how tough they were to kill at the time. That's why I went back; I was hoping they'd respawn... but no luck.

Man, if there's one thing my little elf mage isn't very good at, it's acquiring agents for the inquisition, heh.

[SilentK]

Locked in the Cullen romance and sorted out the little situation in Orlai. Loved the little dancescene in the end.

Who's stuck in the Fade?

 

Ran through the Fade with my team that was close to going crazy.

Sera was mostly incoherent during our journey.

It was interesting listening to Cole in the Fade, but he wasn't very happy about it. He kept trying to find a way out.

Hawke was mental. Had a few crashes and every time I reloaded Hawke would switch between using daggers vs bow. I don't know what her problem was but make up your mind Or... maybe it was some weird Fade illusion trying to trick us.

I'm happy Dorian kept his cool. Can't babysit all of them

Loghain also stayed cool. Too bad I had to leave him behind. He would've made a good leader for the remaining Grey Wardens, but I can't leave Hawke behind. Should make a new playthrough for Loghain, or maybe do it in a new world state in case the Grey Wardens appear in some future game / dlc thing.

Recruited the remaining Grey Wardens.

Gave the Venatori maggot to the Grey Wardens.

Love beating Iron Bull after all the Fadetripping. It really is good therapy

Had a lovely evening/night together with Blackwall

 

My poor little elf got a very sad surprise when she woke up and saw that her beloved Blackwall had disappeared.

After finding him again, and after some yelling and crying she pulled a few strings to get him out of jail. Then they talked a lot in front of the entire Inquisition, and she convinced Blackwall not to throw his life away. He could stay, be the good man he always wanted to be and she would stay by his side. After that they kissed right there in the main hall ( how scandalous)

 

Took a trip with Leliana to some holy place, or whatever. Leliana decided to kill a sister against my orders. Someone's gone totally ruthless, and I don't really have a problem with that. She is protecting the Inquisition

[Fiddles dee dee]

I collected shards which I have decided to think of as stars BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS STARS!

[gottaloveme]

Actually fought a ton of bears in the hinterlands. They always stick their noses in while I'm trying to fight dudes. Once was to save a fennec.

 

I killed a fort and I think that my Queen and her King will like to use it as a hunting lodge / love rat nest. Their love wil not be denied by BW, Gaider or anyone. . Sera got angry with me (little hag (sorry Spork)) when I told her off. Everything in that dialogue was either well done or how stupid could you possibly be? I am not a confrontational person - I need more options for prevaricating and sitting on the fence.

 

Waiting till I have 10,000 limit on card before going back to VR for the box.

The Gamoran Stormrider is now merely a footnote in the exploits of my little elf mage and her merry band of travelers.  After the (relative) ease with which we dispatched both the Abyssal High Dragon and the Northern Hunter, my faith in the toughness of these dragon fights has been restored. Maker, it was glorious.

We snuck all around it, watching the sky closely as it flew overhead -- but otherwise ignored us completely. We claimed a quarry, closed some rifts, and activated one of Solas' elven artifacts, and still it ignored us. Well, my little elf mage couldn't just let that go, could she? She's the herald of Andraste! She's the inquisitor! Sutherland would be slightly less enraptured!
 
So we approached it, oh so slowly, ever so carefully, and finally we got close enough for it to notice us, to decide we weren't just going to go away, to fire a giant ball of smoking hatred and death and, most importantly, lightning at us. Oh how I wished for a patented Shepard dive roll just then, heh. It was not to be, but we were not afraid. And why was that, you ask? 
 
Barriers.
 
Lots and lots of barriers. 
 
Barriers for everyone.
 
Courtesy of my little elf knight-enchanter. 
 
With all four of the group at full health, using all their talents and powers of ruination, we whittled the dragon down to fifty percent health fairly quickly, but at half-health it decided to get serious about killing us. It took flight. Stupid dragons.  
 
It flew all around us, dropping a couple more lightning balls on our heads, while Cassandra and Blackwall could only stand there and hurl curses at it. Sera tried to shoot at it, and my little elf mage continued to send frosty cold ice bombs at it... but the dragon could fly faster than them because of course it could. So, rather than expend precious magical energy attacking it, I rallied everyone close and kept up the barrier until the dragon decided to land again and fight fair. 
 
Pretty crafty those dragons, I gotta say. It was at the precise moment of me being between barrier generation that it landed and attacked with another lightning ball. This one hurt Sera and Blackwall pretty badly, and in all honesty they never really recovered. In retrospect, I probably should have at least gone back to camp and replenished our healing potions. Oops. 
 
When the dragon started flapping its wings and pulling everyone in close, Sera was the first to go down. With no guard or barriers of her own, she's kinda helpless in a close fight. Blackwall was able to hang with us until we whittled the dragon down to about twenty-five percent health (I think), and then the beast pulled it's flying trick again.
 
Blackwall was claimed by its second round of sweeping with wings, breathing lightning, and just generally being a pain in the ass. Cassandra was fairly badly hurt, but I wasn't too worried about her; she's a guard-hoarder, and she was staying on her feet and hacking away at the thing. For awhile. The two of us knocked about another ten percent off the dragon's health before Cassandra finally succumbed. Damn. 
 
So now the stage was set. My little elf mage and her never-ending barrier versus the big bad ugly electric beast. This was the first time I really really really appreciated just how awesome being a knight-enchanter really is, for as long she continued to do damage to the dragon, her barrier never completely disappeared. The dragon clawed, it slashed, it lunged, it bit, it snapped, it shrieked, it clawed -- oh, said that already   -- but it couldn't touch her. HA! Take that, stupid dragon. My little elf mage stood toe-to-toe with it and did not waver. She threw frosty energy barrages at it -- which are a spectactular way for a K-E to rebuild barriers, by the way -- she threw winter's grasps at it, she threw magical bolt after magical bolt of frosty magic goodness at it until, with a final barbaric, "DIEEEE!!!!"...
 
...that's just what the Gamoran Stormrider did. 
 
Good loot, too.

Killed 9/10 dragons - at long last, my mage has learned how to kick dragon butt. Team Inquisition also kicked Cory's butt later, so there was much butt-kicking for goodness tonight. Totally avoided those Orlesian cakes that Leliana warned me about during the party after Cory's defeat and celebrated with Blackwall in private afterward - sure glad I upgraded to a fancy bed finally! *whistles innocently*

[Obvious_Shining]

Ate some cookies with Sera for the good old days.
