But yeah the distances and times from the Thedas map scale for main quest line travel matched the around 3 years guess Gaider gave. Which I found interesting, it certainly feels like only months pass in-game lol
Interesting. I am glad he knows his own universe so well.
The Drinquisition didn't add any new hairstyles to my game. It is a massive disappointment.
The community consensus heavily implied there would be new hairstyles added, yet as a rare and unlikely happenstance, it unexpectedly did not happen.

I can't believe people are still starting thread sabout that. Bioware said on the announcement of BE exactly what was going to be added.

I wanted hair options and face codes though.

ok so I couldn't find the person's tumblr site that they had put this up on, but I had a pic of the list of travel times guessed save so stole that temporarily onto my photobucket so I don't lose it. just hit the zoom button in top right corner of pic, wish I could find where she posted it but oh well.

It's more people expected, rather then just wished/wanted, to get those even after Bioware had told us what we were getting, lol

Interesting. Wonder where he gets the differences from. One of the reason my Kara Inquisitor may try really hard to get her hands on the Eluvian network.

The miles distance are from official Thedas maps, some have a scale: distance per centimetre or whatever measurement they wish to use. Like 1 cm on the map = 20 miles for example. Horse and on foot etc travel speed in a day is easily researched online for averages/approximates. The person did explain it all, I just can't find where she posted it for the life of me. maps and geography used to be my thing lol.

No face codes (that would seem overly complicated to do with those sliders), but we can share sliders even if it is a chore to screen shot every single one. *drink*
I don't wanna share I wanna recreate...but yes thank god for screen shots.

Did you see my Kirrah and Kyrrah comparisons? that was done by screenshot and I got it almost perfectly replicated. So good.

I think with Kara I will take pics of eahc one of the screens with the sliders when I 'finalize' her.
My canon (Kirrah) and my Nightmare (Kyrrah) . Red head recreated from not-so-good screenshots from original in BE mirror haha, Kirrah's eyes used to be just blue, changed it because of mage spec.
New challenge.. 2 drinks for every picture of my Inquisitor, it seems I like to spam DQ with her

Do we all have to drink, or is it just you?

No-one -has- to drink. however, if we all did everyone would be rolling drunk passed out under the tables at this rate..
Yes, we do! It's the drinkquisition after all.
Fair enough. Okay, so how many is that right now? 8? Alrighty. *cracks open a beer* 
Sweet Maker what have I started *goes looking for some alcoholic apple cider* . And yeah, that's 8 haha

Yeah you did good no doubt. I js\ust want the sliders.
OK I was thinking while eating dinner about my fantasy series some more and the thought occured to me, when writing epic fiction you need three elements.
1. What is the deeply personal emotional reason to get the character invested in the story and cause the character to get off their fat arse and do something.
2. How does that tie in for an epic narrative for the individual work involved.
3. How does that individual work tie into the over all narrative of the series and drive the entire plot forward.
I think these questions need to be answered. It keeps the story personal but also connects the story to larger events. As I said some of my favorite stories and the stories I want to tell are these. Small stories of individuals doing things for their own reasons but to connect them to a much larger struggle between good and evil. The Hobbit is almost the apex of this type of story telling, though Tolkien's style still bugs me.
So lets look at this from the Witcher.
1. Geralt wanted to search for his memories, which eventually led to a search for Yennefer, and Triss Merigold.
2. While most of the events of the first game escape me..this connected to the story in the second game because it put Geralt at the center of Conspiracy between the Empire, the North, the Elves, and the Humans.
3. This further connected the story to the over all plot because as Geralt regains his memory he realizes what happens and that there is larger stakes here. Revelations are made about the WIld Hunt, it ties back into the 'white frost/ end of the age' prophecy from the first game. Yadda yadda yadda.
*drinks*
I wonder how many other franchises it can work for. Not sure it works for Game of Thrones yet, and while it works for the Hobbit, it does not seem to work for the Lord of the Rings. All those people had really epic motivations for going to war in the first place.

Have you decided on your 3 yet?

Well...ah. I got one and three down but the twos are kind of escaping me at the moment. For some of them.
Edit: Although the one and threes are probably the easiest to do and consider and neccessary to do 'first' when thinking about epic character driven arc driven series.

What's the setting? Who is the character? What is their reason for doing what they are doing? Tell me these things and I'll try and come up with some ideas.

Well characters but not sure how much detail I want to get into on a public message board...eyes are everywhere. And I am paranoid. Was thinking about creating a writer social group for my work though so I can spit ball ideas in private with a few trusted friends.

Generalise then. I can't help unless I know something.
