Well, one thing I am thankful for from BW, is that given the such angry reaction most of us had towards Kaidan's role in ME2, we've had quite the artistic inspiration for people here. That has made up for it for me.

That it sure has.

btw don't listen to Sia if she says end chapter 5 on another cliffhanger!

Hey, you love my cliffhangers!  Otherwise you'd have gotten bored with The Rescue by now.

[Sialater]

Ugh.  Another bloody double!

I was kind of assuming the same thing as Jho, that Kaidan (or Ash) would be some sort of liason for the Alliance during ME2. Guess not!

But maybe we'll see more of that for any post-ME2 upcoming dlc that tries to begin tying Shepard back into the Alliance and Council. I would hate to see Shepard's role as Spectre get left behind forever in ME1.

Both the Alliance and the Council/Spectre thing was horribly done in ME2. But again, it was about Cerberus so not to distract our simple minds they decided to make the other factions utter morons. 

Heh...like they needed to blurr out all existing stuff from ME1 to create new focal points. Make the old LI's forgettable with a crappy cameo so the new cast will stand out even more. Make the Council and the Alliance blind and weak so Cerberus appears to be the best option. 

"We want the players to look at this, so it can't be overshadowed by that. It would melt their puny little brains."

Oh gosh, I need to occupy my cranky self with something fun

But what if it's a really good cliffhanger?

There better be either a shower or a bed involved at the end of the chapter if you leave us with yet another cliffhanger.

Yep I do, Angry Shep is a wonder to behold. 

I just hope I do as well with Kate as Angry Shep. when she makes an appearance in a few chapters.

Good morning!

Shenzi, my only advise if the worse you feel for having them say whatever they are saying, the better it likely is. I feel terrible normally after writing Angry Shep dialogue.

Makes sense, I felt completely drained emotionally after writing the catharsis chapter.

Morning, Jo!



Sapphy, Shenzi: If you feel it as a writer, your readers will feel it as they read it. I needed a box of Kleenexes to write The Funeral.

Good morning

The sun shines and my muse darted outside before I could lock her up..darnit

And as far as DA pics go, without a free cam, it's a no go mostly. Just went inside the game and if that zoom is the best the game has to offer, I'll pass. I am strangely addicted to the flycam hehe

Oh well Kaidan >  Alistair for me anyway.

Jho, have you tried playing with the toolset for Dragon Age? I think you get alot more options for tinkering altogether with it.

[Joisan]

Ran across some interesting stuff on the hard drive of my old laptop while e-mailing myself the series of ME1 snippets I had as inspiration for the fic I'm trying to start.

Toolset? No...might be something to look into. Thanks!

[Shenzi]

I'm surprised you never used the toolset Jho, It gives you way more control over creating your character's appearance and allows you to change your character's appearance after the character is created.

You create a morph file and then edit a save game and add the morph to it, then if you want to change how your character looks in the future all you have to do is edit the original morph you created.

I just assumed it would be way too technical for me

It's amazing the stuff you find when you do that, I had to go through everything on our 5 year old data server this week after we brought a new one.

Yeah.  Right now I'm enjoying myself rereading a few of my DA:O fics that never saw the light of the internet

There have been some people that have reported having problems setting it up but I didn't have any. 

Just make sure you get the latest version of it, the original version of had a bug that could corrupt your save games.

Good Morning All & welcome to yet another familial obligation day (or Sunday for everyone else)!



I had a really bad night last night because we had a bad accident so I fell asleep when I got home for an hour. On my was to the inn for brunch, mom is driving!



Hope everyone is having a great day!



Even if the DLC let us send an email back that would at least be a bone they could throw to us!

I personally think that the Elder Scrolls and Fallout toolsets are easier to just jump in and tinker with, but once you've read a tutorial or two, the Dragon Age toolset is pretty easy to figure out.  I can't imagine making a new character without it now, and I enjoy being able to do things like give Nathaniel Howe a sexy new head.

Shepard first meeting Kaidan from an old fic I wrote, which I am planning to edit to the point where I can publish it without blushing:

Anderson was just pointing out the med bay and the mess hall when Joker’s voice came over the intercom.

“Captain, there’s a Spectre here to see you.  A Turian by the name of Nihlus.”

The captain nodded, though there was no way Joker could have seen the gesture unless he happened to be watching the security cameras.

“Tell him I’ll be there in a moment.  Make yourself comfortable, Commander; I shouldn’t be more than a minute or two. Nihlus will want to meet you.” Before I could ask why a Turian Spectre would want to meet me specifically, the door had already closed behind him. Taking the captain at his word when he’d said to make myself comfortable, I went to the kitchen and got myself a glass of water. As I turned around, I felt my shoulder contact someone else’s arm. My water and his coffee splashed all over the ground as the newcomer reached out a hand to steady himself against the wall. I heard a muttered, “Dammit!”

“Oh, I’m so sorry; I didn’t see you there. Let me clean that up!” I exclaimed apologetically as I walked over to grab a paper towel.“Did the coffee burn your skin?”

“Oh, no, just a static electricity discharge, ma’am,” he explained. I straightened from wiping up the spill and took a closer look at the man I had inadvertently bumped into. He was of medium height and muscular build, with dark hair and eyes and rugged features that made him practically the textbook picture of a soldier. His rank insignia proclaimed him to be a Staff Lieutenant, and from his comment about static electricity I gathered he was a biotic. My own implant was mostly concealed from view by the coal black hair that fell just below the base of my skull.

“You’re a biotic, Lieutenant?” I inquired curiously. They were still quite rare among humans; I had only met a handful of other human biotics in my lifetime.

“Yes, ma’am,” he admitted, a hint of wariness creeping into his expression. I smiled to set him at ease and began to focus the electric current in my body as I had been taught. Immediately the air around me glowed with a shimmering aura.

“Me too.” I let the flow fade; exercising my biotic talents was enough of a drain on my energy as it was without me using them to show off. Interest replaced wariness on his face, along with a certain amount of relief, which I guessed came from knowing he would not have to debunk any of the common myths people believed about biotics. The mess cleaned up, I returned to the mess hall with the lieutenant following behind.  “I’m Mia Shepard, by the way,” I introduced myself as I sat down at a table, extending a hand. The lieutenant shook my hand and sat down across from me.

“My name is Kaidan Alenko, ma’am,” he answered.

Aw, Jo, that's very sweet!
