Brian Bloom has always looked good. :wub:

I saw him in a movie once (A-Team) and I was like...why does that name and voice sound so familiar?

so the next day I went to look him up and I was like: ...Varric!!! :exicted: and my parents looked at me like I'd gone crazy :lol:

He was in an episode of Law and Order years ago playing a gay guy who murdered someone. It was a very odd experience.

I think that it is a short story, as it is too long to be a codex entry (in my opinion).

I enjoyed it very much as I read it last night in just one 2+ hour sitting (reclined on my patio), and i will likely read it again ...

However, I was disappointed that the book was so short ...

Seriously? I'm a fan of the show and often watch reruns. I'll have to see if his ep is ever on.

It's more elaborate.

I'd say the codex entries are more like a short summary compared to the novel.

Cool, it would've been rather poor if it was just the codexes.

Yeah. I just looked at a few of the codices and went "Well, that's pretty short to what I read." :lol:

Also the novel has some nice illustrations in it.

Now that you mention him, I think you may be right.

Pompey: He sits alone in Ravenna with one mutinous skeleton of a legion and he dares to dictate terms to me!?.
Mark Antony : Caesar has many more legions than the Thirteenth.
Scipio: Yes, on the far side of the Alps.
Mark Antony: Winter does not last forever. Spring comes. Snows melt.
Scipio: That is a threat!
Mark Antony : No, I assure you, that is no threat. Snows always melt.

Isn't Donnen essentially Donnic as well?

Remember, remember the Palace of Winter, the Qunari gaatlok attack. I know plenty of reasons, why Fen’Harel’s treason should end with a knife in his back.

She helps Donnen with finding information he needs, in the book she's a bookworm and collector of a sorts ^^

also Jevhlan is basically a combination of Carver and Jevven (especially the images make him look a lot like default Carver)

and actually...the man that Lady Marielle is married to, I had the distinct feeling he was meant to represent a combination as well (Seamus Dumar + Anders)

Always something to be killed, and I’m the one to do it – Hero of Ferelden
