Do any of y'all have any rituals that you do while playing?

 

I've started saying "Geronimo!" every time I start a mission, primarily because of the way the camera "falls" toward the war table piece.

I like to have a mint when I start a game session. It's something that began with Mass Effect, but it's carried over into DA2 and DAI. Not really sure why I do it, and it's, generally, limited to BW games. Replaced old, worse, habits I suppose.

I try not to bring out the same party members twice in a row. So, if I went to the Emerald Graves with Blackwall, Sera and Solas, the next time I leave Skyhold I'll have Cassandra, Varric and Vivienne.

The RPG Ritual:

 

Step 1: Create a character

Step 2: Play the game a little bit

Step 3: Delete the character due to regrets

Step 4: Repeat til warm and fuzzy feelings are maintained

I roll the dice to see who comes with me when I leave Haven/Skyhold. Literally. I made dice.

Typically I start in the chair/on the couch, and somehow after a few hours end up on the floor.

Take Cassandra, Varric and, when he becomes available, Dorian everywhere.

 

Visit and annoy Cullen whenever possible.

I've done this quite a bit. For some reason I get it in my head that I have to have a "perfect" playthrough from start to finish and I will sometimes just abandon a pt if it isn't meeting that expectation for whatever reason.

I have to check with the Dragon Age wiki before I send anyone on a War Table mission, I hate making the wrong choices.

• When I send a team to a potentially dangerous mission on the Wartable, I play a multiplayer match in that region
   
• I always have Sera open locked doors or chests. My character is a Rogue in gameplay terms, but as a ranger/outdoorsey type, he still wouldn't know how to pick locks better than Sera or Varric in my headcanon.
   
• At the end of a session, if I'm in the Keep, I always save next to the bed. Which is also a different room, cause the quarters are too ridiculously decadent.

Pretty much this for the first day or so of a new game.

 

Otherwise, in any game I have to choose companions to group with, I have to select them is this order warrior/tank, followed by rogue/dps and then mage/healer classes. I can't manage to choose out of that order. I think it from way back in Baldur's Gate where you could use different formations depending on what order your characters where in *shrug*

LOL I do #1 and #3 too.

 

I do something similar to #2. I tend to roleplay my companions and keep them in character.

 

An example would be not letting Morrigan learn healing magic since she explicitly says she is not a healer.

 

The exceptions are:

 

1) my character is a Spirit Healer mage AND I am friends with her

2) Wynne is recruited AND I am friends with both her and Morrigan

I yell Death Blow every time it kills something. Best combo was three in a row, I think. Each time yelling louder.

If I'm on a high spot in Skyhold I always have to make a suicidal jump off the wall.

I always stop to listen to the mini conversation the two people have in front of Bonnie Sims table.

[nightscrawl]

And when playing, I must always jump up and over hills and mountains. I never take a path.

Hah, this is the opposite of me; I always walk/run the paths except when I'm discovering the borders of a given map.

Before beginning a DAI gaming session:

 

1.  Review the three DA-related mod/message sites I frequent (I'm volunteer staff on two of them.)

 

2.  Review my meta-game objectives for the session (e.g. "test a certain new combo of skills", or "see where a certain different convo branch leads", or just, "remember to have Sera accompany to Halamshiral this time instead of Varric!")

 

3.  Crack open a cold one.

Rituals? You mean like chicken feet and nekkid virgins?
 
Right, I'm in... unless you mean something more... nevermind.

On weekends...prepare coffee, toast; play while eating breakfast. A glorious way to start the weekend.
