Just learned when you go nugskin leather you don't go back.

I can confirm this. The very first ill-fated rogue I made -- lost in the Fade because I didn't back up save games -- had a nugskin leather coat that she was very proud of, and looked quite snazzy too. 

 

Once they were all collected, I took Cass on a dragon hunt in honor of her brother. Visnomer is no mer....er, no more. That makes 10 out of 10 this game, all before the finale instead of some after like before.

Vinsomer is next on my hit list, after the Great Mistral. Gonna try the Mistral anyway. Must remember to swap out Solas for Dorian as he is my fire mage in this game. Hmm... got a couple ready-made fire runes I haven't used yet as well. Better pay a visit to Undercroft before we take on any more dragons. I have a boatload of crafting resources I haven't used yet.

Nothing but work on my Hawke approximation. Ahawkeximation. Too bad about the lack of "Fereldan noble" tattoos, though it was more or less a shot in the dark anyway, since the screenshots I took for him were on my other computer (currently disconnected from the web) and the Keep picture is so small as to be useless as a reference. Still, relatively happy with the results.

In my first game I tried to remake a Hawke that was pretty close to the one I had just before getting Inquisition, and I ended up, by sheer dumb luck, making one that I thought was even better. Times like that I wish we had numerical values, heh. I'd use that Hawke every time. In my current game, Hawke was pretty close to the default guy.

I downloaded an eyebrow mod (link) and met Roderick with his newly waxed eyebrows XD

On the positive side, my Lavellan temptress looks fierce with her new eyebrows.  Rawr.

I'm looking forward to what may come with this new character!

Those are nice looking eyebrows. Now I wish Roderick was romanceable.

 

Just kidding. I meant your Lavellan, of course.

Today Harold and the gang -- Cassandra, Bull, and Solas wrapped things up in the Emerald Graves... err, except for a few landmarks I can't be bothered to fight through giants and brontos to discover. We even slew the Greater Mistral. I love watching her fly around; she's a beauty. As we were approaching her, she took off into the air and I lost sight of her as she circled, but I could hear her, and she came in for a landing passing right over our heads. I imagined standing at the end of a runway as a 747 touches down after passing directly overhead. It was very cool ... I almost felt bad about slaying her, but she was hoarding the Helm of the Inquisitor, so I didn't feel that bad. 

 

Was a fun fight. Totally forgot about crafting cold-resistant gear and fire-based weapons back at Skyhold, so we just did the best we could. Solas got frozen a couple times, but he made it through. Harold tried to focus all his attacks on the Mistral's back right leg, and was only moderately successful. Finally unlocked second tier focus abilities, so Thousand Cuts came in very handy, only I forgot to use a fire flask first, so I could only do the cuts once. Oh well, I think it was a more enjoyable fight because of that, though Solas might disagree. 

 

Sp[eaking of Solas, he and Bull continued their imaginary chess match. I think Solas is a bit concerned that Bull is proving to be a better chess player than he originally thought. After a moment, the elf shut right up, and after what must have been a particularly damning move, Bull said, "Take your time. Examine your life choices." I think that will do for the quote of the day. 

 

Next we're off to the Storm Coast to find Vinsomer, and once she is dead, we will have only Emprise Du Lion and the Hissing Wastes to do before beginning the endgame. Hope Morrigan's patience lasts.

When I have femHawke I just make her look exactly like my femquisitor

 

The one playthrough I had maleHawke, I just used the default one

I couldn't do that in my first game... not exactly, anyway. Inky was an elf, and rather unique looking. I don't think I could duplicate her even if I wanted to . 

[kalasaurus]

Woooo!!!  And the patch didn't prevent me from duping with Cheat Engine.  What what.  *rolls in millions of gold coins on my level 3 character*

I made footprints in the snow at Haven.

I love how you get them in the sand in the Hissing Wastes too! I have a bad habit of looking back at where my Inky has been to see them appearing and disappearing.

The diary of Zebah Trevelyan
Day 2
Entry 2, as already there seem to be days missing...
Haven

Spoiler

I woke up to see a very skittish Elf get scared of me waking up. Her demeanor was.. odd, to say the least. Kissing the floor as she kept saying Cassandra should be informed I was up. At least the Breach is sealed, I suppose. I picked up my new gear (special delivery, I'm something) and went outside... to see a mob of people waiting for me claiming I am 'the Herald of Andraste'. What the hell happened? Time to go see Cassandra, so I went to chantry to hear her argueing with Chancelor Roderick.

Spoiler

With the Maker on my side this breach issue should soon be solved.

I then looked around Haven. Spoke to the Requisitions officer and got her her wood.Then spoke to Adan the Healer (er, sorry Adan, Alchemist) and got him his recipe. In the meantime I spoke to Solas as well, a scary Elven apostate. He's lucky I really need a mage on the battlefield... I needed a drink. Heard some nice songs about the Grey Wardens and Enchanters while chatting with Flissa. She's kinda cute.

While stumbling out of the bar I ran into Varric, the Dwarf. Seems like a nice guy, but talks way too much. One more stop left before I should go back to Cassandra, namely the blacksmith. Had a small chat with him, had him craft an armor, modified it and then went back to the Chantry.

Spoiler

She introduced me to the other important people in the Inquisition: Leliana, which I already knew, Cullen, our general (such as they are), and Lady Josephine Montilyet, our ambassador. They bickered some about whether we should aproach the Templars or Mages, but it was all irrelevant at this point. I was told to seek out Mother Giselle first.

But I didn't do that yet. Left the war room first and spoke to the advisors and Cassandra to get to know them better. Had to stop Leliana from killing one of our agents who betrayed us. She's a tough one.

Spoiler

So, to anyone who reads this: if this is my last entry, it's safe to assume I died in the Hinterlands trying to reach mother Giselle.. and all hope is lost.

-Lady Zebah Trevelyan

[Rekkampum]

Kuruk Adaar spent his time helping Josephine annul the contract on her family and was forced to come to terms to negotiate. Being the casanova he is, he gave the lady the night of her life and she never complained. Problem solved. One companion however, may just make him commit to an actual relationship.

 

Outside of that, he spent time at Halamshiral and was formally introduced to The Game, as it is called in Orlais. Between collecting lewd secrets for Leliana and investigating the royal family's obsession with the occult(the halla-locked doors), he uncovered intel from witnesses that made it harder for him to see any possible benefit in anyone currently in power ruling Orlais. He instead forced a truce. He doubts it will last very long - if their reputations are to be believed - but it nonetheless looks good on the Inquisition's resume.

Turn the camera around and watch the sand as the Inquisitor uses charging bull or fade step.

Utterly unprepared to face Vinsomer, Harold and crew set off for the Storm Coast direct from the Emerald Graves. By unprepared I mean they had no focus built up, so Harold's Thousand Cuts were unavailable for the fight. They also didn't craft any electricity resistant gear, and Solas has been spec'ced in this game to be my lightning mage. Consequently, Vinsomer was kind of tough. Just a little bit. At least Harold doesn't have a finite amount of fire and lightning flasks... or arrows.

 

Harold left the others to their own devices -- sure hated seeing that "immune" pop up on-screen whenever Solas fired an energy barrage, but *shrug* what can you do? The gang sure wasn't going to run away. Bull would never let us forget it! So, while everyone was busy doing whatever it is they do, Harold took aim at Vinsomer's right hind leg, since it worked so well against the Mistral

 

This is where the lightning flask came in handy, because one of Vinsomer's seemingly favorite tactics -- apart from tossing up guard every five seconds   -- was to pull a 'crazy ivan' and then zap Harold with her lightning breath... so, Harold's responding tactic was: lightning flask + run away from lightning breath seek a better position and, if the Maker is smiling down on him, get off a Long Shot or Full Draw before the time stop stops. 

 

On the *ahem* rare occasion that Vinsomer managed to cut down Harold's guard, the fire flask was put to good use, because he could fire three, maybe four, Leaping Shots and rebuild the fade-touched-obsidian-enabled guard pretty quickly. Almost as quickly as Vinsomer. Ah, it was a good fight, and only took about a bazillion arrows! In the end only Cassandra and Harold were left standing. Even though Solas was gimped by having a lightning staff equipped, he outlasted Bull by a fair bit; a fact I'm sure he'll bring up when the chess game resumes. 

 

And now they are ready to take on the Emprise Du Lion, although I'm kinda wondering if maybe I should head for the Hissing Wastes first. Hmm... 

[ravenesse]

Good luck, and don't worry, I've got Solas activating elven artifacts all over the place. The veil is strong. You'll be fine. 

Come to think about that. Do you really think the artifacts are what Solas told us? Can't get my mind around that.

 

And Solas didn't help me. Repair's done, walk toggle still not available. Complete uninstall it is, then. Just to... walk. I have never done anything like that before

[Farangbaa]

In completely unrelated news: I just bought a racing game. That hasn't happened in like... forever.
I'm a sucker for good trailers though and it was only 10 euros anyway, so meh. I'll give it a shot

Zebah's adventure will continue at a later time

I spent the limited time I had last night doing completely boring things like upgrading my potions, tonics, and grenades. Probably should've made some new gear, but I was feeling lazy after a long day of actual work. Perhaps today I will get my butt kicked and be motivated into crafting some new stuff (do seem to have the day off, judging by my empty inbox - lol). Might go to the Arbor Wilds as is just to see if I can make it through without any major upgrades after I'm done with the dragon hunting stuff later.

I dunno, but if you activate ten of those artifacts throughout the game, you get a war table mission called "measuring the veil" and if you do that, you get a new Solas-related Inner Circle quest where another rift opens up in the Hinterlands and you have to go close it. It's no big deal, not as tough as the two I just closed in Emprise Du Lion today, anyway. Wonder if a future patch is gonna introduce enemy level- scaling.... anyway, sorry to hear about your patch troubles. Gotta say, walking works okay for me and it's overrated... uhh *runs away*

Heh, well not upgrading gear can lead to some interesting fights, particularly against lightning-based dragons. I can attest to that personally I'm looking at spending the next hour or so down in Undercroft with Dagna and the blacksmith (whose name escapes me at the moment), using up some of those resources I've been hoarding all game.

Not all get the war table mission. I got the bug instead. Kept activating, never a quest. Poor me.

Buuut, after a veryvery painful installation, I am ready to inquisit again. While walking!

Truth be told, I only want to walk because I tend to fall off mountains, trying to reach stupid skulls, to finally fetch even more stupid shards... ehm... yes. Who needs walking?

Oh I didn't know that. Pretty sure I never found ten of those artifacts in my first game, so it was new for me, heh.

I stumbled over the topic somewhere here, even though I didn't want to know. But maybe they fixed that. After my first solasmancing Lavellan playthrough, I decided to roleplay it better and went back to my first Hinterlands save *coughs*blushes* So, hopefully I'll ever get this mission.

 

Oh... and now I checked out the walk. Looks like something in between 'catwalk' and 'I need to pee!' Compared to that weird 'female' walk in most of the cutscenes it looks good, but... very different.

[ByTheCode]

I gathered some power so I could get 30 power for the Empress Celene mission. Then while I was fighting some templars in the Hinterlands, THREE BEARS CAME AND ATTACKED MY PARTY. THREE BEARS. Most I've ever had at once was two bears. I'm surprised Goldilocks wasn't with them.

Kuruk Adaar has spent much of his time consoling Iron Bull after he became Tal-Vashoth to save his crew. As a Vashoth born to Tal-Vashoth parents, his insight has allowed Bull to view himself beyond what he was taught through the Qun. Though they were of the same race, it seemed the two were entirely worlds apart from each other. He, born in a society without purpose before the mark was bestowed; Bull, raised in a world where purpose is one's greatest asset. Through their trials together - and that dance at Halamshiral that undoubtedly had the nobility talking - Adaar has realized just how close they truly are.

 

That aside, other personal issues arose. Seeker Pentaghast learned a disturbing truth about her Order, and surprisingly, a former Qunari merc is the one she's sought for advice. Adaar admires her dedication, making a note of it while he deliberates on who he should support as the next Divine. Speaking of support, Adaar has secretly discovered a tome in Vivienne's quarters covering an "age-regression" potion and is slowly beginning to piece together the mystery concerning the motive behind her request from him.

The inquisitor had a very scattergun approach today as I focused on different regions.

 

Firstly I went to Crestwood to speak to Hawke but I got distracted with some of the side-missions. I ended up defeating a wyvern in the hills and I love the codex entry. I love how eccentric the Orlesian culture is. My favourites are the Wyvern, Blood Lotus and Crystal Grace codex info .

 

Then I returned to the Hissing Wastes. One of the annoying things is when an August Ram gets injured from falling and turns into an enemy. When the inquisitor goes to attack it flees but when you don't want to attack it follows you. Stop taunting me! . Anyway I just wanted to grind some experience so I completed the Venatori quest.

 

I returned to Skyhold and unlocked the 'deft hands fine tools' perk. So I then went to the hinterlands to burglarise investigate some property. I also took Dorian to the pub on the sly because the inquisitor likes drama.

 

Finally, I started the Verchiel quest. I wanted to question the noble about everything but Sera didn't agree. I returned to Skyhold to question Sera about our differing views. The inquisitor is putting her on a probation period (She now hates me )
