Thank you! I thought it was probably something simple like that.

 

I'm usually lurking hanging around the forums, if you - or anyone - needs more info from the guide (or what I've learned by ignoring the guide, in a couple cases ), I'm more than happy to provide it

Welcome and thank you in return. Our resident spymaster at work

I know that but Nery doesn't.

I know how it is, or perhaps I should say Harold knew, having to listen to Iron Bull chat up Cassandra all through the trek in Crestwood. As if the place wasn't depressing enough, heh. She didn't discourage it much either, but to be fair, Harold hadn't read her any poetry yet. 

 

Well, finally got around to fighting Corypheus on Nightmare (and his dragon). I took Blackwall, Cole, and Dorian  with me, and I was rather surprised when Cory tried to chit-chat with Cole. However, when I say chit-chat...it was more like threatening to bind Cole, but woops, it didn't work and Cory failed hard at it Cole was actually quite happy at the party afterward because it proved to him that he couldn't be bound by nasty blood mages or anyone else. *pats her (more human) Cole* Also ate a bunch of well-deserved tiny cakes and partied down, retiring to my quarters with my sweetie afterward (hey, you have to work off the calories from all those cakes somehow).

Congrats on another PT complete. Looking forward to having Cole along for the bulk of the journey this time, too. Haven't decided about which path to encourage him to take, though. I told him he should be more human in my first game, so i might go the spirit path this time. I dunno why I was so concerned that Varric approve of everything; probably mostly because Solas disapproved

@spork: Danke - now I feel like I can actually devote more time to the CC after getting all my achievements done. Then again, I may slack off again and just stick with something close to the default. Gven how poorly the first Inquisitor I made turned out (tossed that one and started over) and the duck lips on the second Inquisitor (who is actually the Inquisitor that I did my first complete playthrough on), I stuck pretty closely to the default (with minor tweaks) on my current Inquisitor - hehe.

Ugh. Accidentally deleted my post by going back . I'll just leave this here:

Also... is it possible to lock in with Harding? Sera keeps saying she likes me but wants to travel more

Uh oh, you're going back to the CC ...see you in a week. J/K.

I like to remove all the stuff I can at the start, like hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, scars, tattoos, and makeup. Get as close to a blank slate as possible, then pick one feature, even if it's just ears or cheekbones, and get that perfect, and then match all the other features to it. It's a slow process, and very often I scrap the whole thing and start over. Sigh.

You can't lock in with Harding ... but Sera likes it when you flirt with her. She's weird that way. 

[AtreiyaN7]

@spork: Hmm, maybe I should try that. I'm particularly wary of the eyeshadow at this point. My reject Inquisitor had blue eyeshadow that ended up being WAY too heavy in the actual game. After eleven hours, I just couldn't deal with how it looked anymore - hahaha.

[gottaloveme]

Hm, they should be able to run if you've fully revived them, even if the pots explode. Try Fade Step/Evasion/Charging Bull+Combat Roll/whatever you have that can get you there faster, maybe?

 

You're right on Skyhold (though I suppose it depends where the borders of each territory end; it could be considered the Dales despite being in the Frostbacks), but where does it say the Storm Coast is west of Jader?

For the Storm Coast it's on the pull out map.

 

And I also put Skyhold in Ferelden because of the war table view.

LOL I know exactly what you mean about the makeup. Ever since DA:O I've never been able to make my characters look right with any of it, and so I never use it.... well okay, that's not true, I go pretty light on the eyeshadow, just a hint to smooth things out a bit.

Yes but... but... last time around I got her romance to trigger way faster. Now I only have the Arbor Wilds left, story wise.

[gottaloveme]

Honestly, I am in awe of you people. The stamina to get all mosaic pieces, bottles, shards, thrones, banners, Varric's books and codices, not to mention the hours spent in the CC. I think you are all crazy and I'm glad I feel such a part of it.

[Farangbaa]

PLaying a faithful Inquisitor is pretty nice btw, you get special kinds of judgement:

I've only ever completed one mosaic and that happened by accident I kinda ran into all the pieces completing the Tomb of Fairel. All those other I've never completed, and probably never will

Oh okay, gotcha. I think the big thing about travelling with Sera is that there are Red Jenny caches scattered all over the place, and each one you find gets you appproval from her, which in turn helps the romance. You can only find them if she's in the group. You could try wandering back through the other areas and go on a cache hunt.

I've only ever collected two mosaics... technically three in two PTs. Haven't gotten all the bottles, songs, banners or thrones yet. Harold came close on the bottles, though. Only missed two. As for the hours spent in the CC... guilty.  

 

But hey, glad you're here to be a part of it as well  

 

Quick, but not particularly brief, update on Dofni's travels: 

 

Never again will I kick Sera out of the Inquisition, by the Maker this I vow. 

 

Still stinging from Josephine's indifferent rejection, Dofni took Cassandra, Varric, and Solas back out to the Hinterlands to see what they coluld do about helping mother Giselle's refugees (translation: need power to go to Val Royeaux). They decided to go ram hunting. I took control of Solas for this since mages never miss. Giggled way too much at Dofni and Cassandra chasing rams all over the place because Solas couldn't one-shot kill them. Heh. 

 

Of course this led to occasional fights with random templars. No more mages around since the gang had already cleared out their encampmant in the Witchwood. But that's okay. Was easy enough to retake control of Dofni for those fights. Along the way, they also rescued scout Ritts and recruited her into the Inquisition. 

 

That encounter has me a bit puzzled. Why does Ritts care so much that I don't tell anyone what she was up to with that elven mage? Is it because she'd be accused of shirking her duties? Or perhaps colluding with the enemy (of sorts)? And why do I have to recruit her if she already works for Leliana? I'm not complaining, just curious. I like Ritts, and wish she was more like Sutherland and co... but, oh well. 

 

Anyway, Dofni finally collected enough ram meat to fill all those hungry bellies, and got enough power to go to Val Royeaux in the process, so off they went. On arrival, I started up FRAPS, hoping to get a good screenie of the revered mother getting punched out, but I hit the wrong key and turned on the benchmarking thingy instead of the auto-screenie-taker

 

When that encounter was over, the gang tried to do a little shopping in what had to be the most expensive shops in Thedas Holy crap. they ended up buying nothing, and will have to try and loot some schematics in their travels instead. Going from one shop to another they were surprised to hear the thwip of an arrow striking nearby. The arrow was attached to a note, which led them on a bit of a chase and an eventual encounter with Ms. Red Jenny (not really) herself, Sera the not-elfy elf. 

 

Maker, I've missed her. I could fall in love with her all over again. First thing she said to Dofni was, "Well you followed the notes well enough. Glad to see you're all... *ahem* you're all dwarfy! I mean, it's all good, innit? You're just... you're down there."  

 

So she's been recruited, and Madame de Fer as well. Dofni said that snotty noble insulted her honor, so Vivienne killed him. No one cared. Maybe, because of all the masks, no one even knew who he was and were afraid to expose their ignorance, heh. 

 

Now we are back in Haven again, and I just noticed that Sera didn't bring any gear with her. No bow, no armor, nothing! The hell? I don't have enough leather crafting resources to make her any armor yet, so... well, sh*t. I guess she gets to stay in the tavern for awhile until we kill some more rams or something. Maybe fennecs. Maybe nugs

The only thing I do is change the hairstyle, hair color, eye color and make the lips slightly thinner.

Its not that hard. A few of them weren't bad. I have a harder time collecting all shards then collecting the other stuff

Macha Lavellan went into her bedroom only to find this man waiting for her:

I think I will be forever jealous of your Inquisitor! With the outfit, hair and facial features, she just looks so regal and beautiful. That Blackwall's a lucky fella.

Took Leiliana to the Chantry in Valence and gave Cole the amulet. Turned Cole more towards a Spirit to make Solas happy.

[BraveVesperia]

Adaar planted some herbs and things in her new garden. One of those being a deep mushroom. Only, when she returned, it seemed that the deep mushrooms grow out of desiccated spider corpses? Nooooope, not doing that again.

 

Speaking of creepy things, the team were exploring some pitch-black Veil-fiery caves today. Not usually perturbed by the dark, but after repeatedly falling into that abyss in Valeska’s Watch, I am now very wary of where my Inkys put their feet. Cass, please hold my hand...

 

By now, some things are becoming very clear about this team dynamic. Varric is alternating between being Cole’s guardian, and snarking at Cassandra every chance he gets. Poor woman keeps making friendly overtures, and he keeps bringing up the interrogation thing. Jeez, you stab a guy in the book just once and he holds it against you for life! Adaar isn’t siding with either of them, she doesn’t want to be in the middle of that again. Pretty sure Cass threw a table last time. Meanwhile Cassandra is warming up to Cole now, after he fought a rat for an old locket of Anthony. Very sweet! 

 

We decided to plug some darkspawn holes on the Storm Coast, and traded Varric for Blackwall. Who better to deal with darkspawn than a Grey Warden, riiiiight? While heading to a hole near a river, the team encountered a bear. Adaar started to attack, but gave it up as a bad job when the bear ran off chasing a ram. Of course, the other three were not so easily discouraged, and went chasing it up the coastline. Adaar decided to press on to the hole alone. After all, she’s a Knight Enchanter, she can handle a few pesky darkspawn. She started laying into them (and getting smacked around by a Hurlock Alpha), when who comes running up, but her friends, followed by an angry bear. The blighters hadn’t even finished it off between them! So it was a battle with a bear and darkspawn. At least until another bear arrived. The team was mobbed by the beasts all the way to the final hole. Adaar seems to be a magnet for bears, since I’ve never experienced this before. Anywho, one million pelts later, and all holes were sealed up.

 

Adaar’s acquired a lot of Fade-touched gear so far. Poor Cadash probably got about five pieces in the whole game, including preset ones (like Serpentstone in the Oasis or Obsidian in the Hinterlands). But Adaar’s getting lots through loot and mining. She’s got some fennec , obsidian, iron, lustrous cotton etc. It’s all good. I’m hoping the high tier stuff drops so frequently. Now we just need gear from the Hissing Wastes. I hope I can deck Cassandra out in Nevarrite.

 

I booted up my first ever Inquisitor (who also had a lot of FT materials), and decided to try fighting Kaltenzahn again. I notice her gear has stupid names. Lavellan’s robes are ‘Snappy Threads’, Vivienne’s are ‘Snazzy Threads’ and Dorian’s are ‘Snarky Threads’. Lavellan, you adult child. This Inky only ever defeated five dragons, through a combination of me being bad at combat and crafting. I notice now that a lot of stuff was poorly crafted (but pretty!) and talents were weird. But I want to try and defeat those last dragons! So today, with much struggling, Buckles defeated her nemesis, with the help of Sera, Cass and Cole. ‘Tis a good day so far!

I've decided I'm going to get all the bottles this game. Using the guide helps immensely.....I found one in Fallow Mire in a place I don't even remember going to before. I'm stuck at 8/12 tiles for the Hinterlands mosaic, but I did complete two last game, so that's something. I tried ignoring the shards last game but that didn't work so collect them all again I shall.

Wow   I'm level 12 and I haven't even sealed the Breach (the first time) yet! How do you get that far in the game at that low a level???
