What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

for the female version it's the Dalish scout, for male, the keeper armor

Finished Awakening. Killed the architect. Saved the keep. Let the city burn. Finished with over 900 sovereigns. I don't believe I've had that much before.

I played an arcane warrior. Who is stronger? Arcane warrior or Knight Enchanter?

Will start DA2 shortly

Honestly, I don't know if AW pawns KE or vice versa. But I don't recall a single game where what was in essence a take on a Fighter-Mage was underpowered. Overall, I like the spirit blade > real sword 'cause it's a light sabre.

Mage Hawke in DA2, or rogue?

Yes, I thought she wanted the noble Pavus to get the boy to pack up and go to... Tevinter, but I take issues with her plan to send the Inquisitor to trudge all over Ferelden in the dicey company of a guy who's going to start slashing his veins/have a congress with the demons any moment now, solidifying the friendship that is so troubling. She really should have asked the Inquisitor to send Pavus on a pretend errand with her to go to the Gull and Lantern if she wanted her best shot at having him shipped away.

You know, I don't like to support Templars, but Meredith a great character. She believes, that she's right, Anders also admits this. And Cullen: "...she needs a spine of iron, to survive her position". Too bad that she's paranoid. She would be able to be a good templar.

yes.

Have you met themikefest before? He has a very distinctive playstyle, heh, normally involving inflicting maximum pixel nuking. what was your best MET score, themikefest? Billions casualties? His PTs are interesting specifically because he does what most people go into extreme pains to avoid.

ha.

I calmed down. My little necessary Chantry explosion is nothingness with compared these...

My Ing mage PT is all over the place as I wasn't sure where to go to get the venotori tomes. I went to HW but I might as well not bothered; got only one tome after looking / galloping through venatori camps. I left the zone half undone and went to EP and finally got the last two. Currently at WA.

when Cass said to bring in Inq forces to occupy the castle (Griffon Keep). *cough* it's not a castle, it's a fort.

Willard Trevelyan, lvl16, rift mage, lone wolf (prequel)

Finally Willard decided, that make the contact with the Qunari. Bull, Cole and Dorian joined to him.
On the Storm Coast they met with an elf, Bull called him Gatt. Gatt was a slave in Tevinter, before that he joined to the qun. This has led to some controversy with Dorian.

The group split in two, The Chargers went to the opposite hill.
The qunari Dreadnought arrived...

...but...

Willard should to make a decision quickly: the qunari alliance or the Chargers?

Back to the Skyhold

On the ramparts assassins ambushed Bull.

Questioning beliefs


So, that happened. And Bull is great!

Bonus:

I recruited everyone else and started working in the rumors. DA2 is the only game where I want to romance someone else besides my canon. For a moment there, I actually thought about not re-doing my canon and go with Anders. Then I met Isabela and I thought the same thing. But then I talked to Fenris and it all went away, can't resist him It's a pity though, I like Anders and Isabela romances a lot

Also, I'm thinking that having played the game like a thousand times, maybe I should for once try to play it on nightmare but the truth is I'm afraid of friendly fire, I'm awful at managing friendly fire I always try to use the healing aura the least possible so that I can spend most of the time throwing fire all around and I try to get every item that gives me extra fire damage, I can't imagine that playstile would go well iin nightmare In DAO there's a lot of places that turn out to be quite appropriate to cast SotC, big rooms with small entrances, and there's also paralysis explosion for those times where there's no bottleneck to take advantage of, but I'm not so sure about how well would that kind of thing work in DA2? I guess I could also try to get every item that grants fire resistance and stuff them with fire resistance runes? For Fenris at least, he's my tank. I could also go full healer/support, not very exciting but maybe fun in its own way. The thing is, what if after all I still can't manage nightmare, what the hell do I do with all the fire resistance stuff or all my healing/support spells?  

I agree so much about how everything in DA2 feels familiar and make you feel home in a very unique way, and I love it too, and I was also thinking yesterday while I was playing that they might took it too far, but it makes sense that you go back to the same locations time and again, I love that DA2 is a game that moves more in time than in space.

Its narrative structure helps a lot too, I think, no overarching race to save the world plotline, just some relevant events vaguely connected to each other, just like you're living your life and things happen. And great for secondary quest integration, IMO. In DAO, side-quest don't hurt much because you can complete most of them while doing main quests, it might seem silly take some time to chase nugs for a guy when the Blight is waiting, but they're right there, after all, you don't usually have to go out of your way to do them. But in DA2 they fit perfectly, they're just the things Hawke was doing between big event A and big event B, and they add depth to your life in Kirkwall. Oh, well, what don't I love about DA2?
