Wild honey > sugar

 

Can you bake a cake with honey?

 

Seriously curious

Yes, though it wouldn't rise the same way.  It would be a more of a low, dense sort of baked good than a light fluffy thing.

 

Cookies work with honey, though.  Peanut butter cookies made with honey are amazing!

[Master Warder Z_]

tbf, the same could be said of all the races in Thedas.

Not really.

Humans make sugar.

[dragonflight288]

Not really.

Humans make sugar.

 

And there are human thieves.

I actually much prefer how cakes come out with honey. But I don't like fluffy things as much as some.

And there are human thieves.

And there are dwarven merchants.

You have a point?

[thruaglassdarkly]

Maybe Varric or Sera taught Lavellan how to pick locks?

 

You do have a point, though.  Unless Lavellan is the mischievous sort (i.e.: picking the locks on the chests the clan has), there wouldn't be much need for lockpicking skills among the Dalish.  It's not like the Dalish really bother stealing stuff from people's homes when they would have little use for most things beyond necessities.

 

Meh, I'm just going to headcanon that Varric taught my f!Lavellan how to pick locks.  

 

You left out that this particular clan seemed to have a largely non-confrontational relationship with humans (minus the Wycome incident) which would not really work if the clan made a lot of use of thievery skills.

 

But on the subject, why does Cole have such adept lock-picking ability?  Do they make use of a lot of locks in the fade? Its a rogue; its a fantasy rpg.  Rogues in fantasy rpgs pick locks. Ludo-narrative dissonance aside, at some point this is the answer (or maybe Varric is making a killing with his lockpicking training school of roguery.)

He just asks the lock to open.

[BronzTrooper]

He just asks the lock to open.

 

Nah, once the lock sees his magnificent chest hair, it opens for him.

I was talking about Cole.

I was talking about Cole.

 

Oh, I thought you were talking about Varric....

The locks open because his hat asked them to.

[TK514]

Cole just Fenrises the heart out of the lock's chest.

[LOLandStuff]

The locks forget to lock.

[Master Warder Z_]

Maybe they open to make Cole go away after he goes into a emo state.

[thruaglassdarkly]

The locks forget to lock.

 

Do not try to open the lock, that's impossible.  Instead only try to realize the truth.  There is no lock.  Then you'll see it is not the door that unlocks, it is only yourself.

Andaran atish'an falon...Never shall we submit.

[Master Warder Z_]

Besides to the next human who strolls up with a army anyway.

I have a feeling if Gaspard wanted the elves to submit.

They'd submit.

Nah, that's just part of our plans. Make the shems believe they won, then when they have a false sense of security. We'll attack!

[Master Warder Z_]

I'd wish them luck but...luck doesn't stop swords

[Exile Isan]

You guys don't think that there's old ruins with locked doors that might need picking? Cause I'm pretty sure my Lavellan found a couple of locks that needed picking in Din'an Hanin.

[Master Warder Z_]

You know that just opens a different can of worms.

How can elven locks from centuries to more back respond the same as a modern day dwarven or human lock?

Is there like a universal school of locksmithing or something...

I'm no expert in locks or anything, so everything I say now might very well be total bullsh*t, but I'd guess there can't be that many ways to smith a lock. I mean they basically all work the same way. Fit piece of metal with the right form in it and it opens. Lockpicking is just faking that form with lockpicks so it should work on all locks?

You aren't wrong about lock picking, that is the idea.

But you are wrong about locks in our own history alone their have been, hundreds if not thousands of different varients of locks.

Different mechanisms, materials, differing placement of tumblers, etc.

It's sort of fascinating but the history of locks is a window into the advancement of mankind.

[Wulfram]

Human locks are clearly nothing more than imitations of the locks of Arlathan
