Schmooples' Den! The DA News Discussion Thread

Tis sooooooooooo true. Double the trouble when you're playing MMO and your character's name has to be unique

Maybe this is the real reason I’m hoping for a Qunari protagonist. Even their nicknames are just Qunlat nouns.

"Fun" fact, a few times I run into an issue where randomly generated name was taken

Dang, how many GMs are there in this one thread?

Clearly Green Ronin had the right idea when they decided to target Dragon Age players. Not only are we all tabletop players, we’re all the one specific tabletop player who decides on what system the group is going to play.

I'm so happy to see Jo Berry posting Dragon Age stuff. 👀

It's not impossible for her to work on DA though. Motive is still part of EA and for all we know it may be BW Montreal, just under a different name (or act the way BW Montreal did in a sense that they may more or less fill its role when it's needed).

I think I'm a bit different, in that I don't even open the CC without having a name, look and personality ready in my head. (that's probably why it takes me max 30mins to create a chara)

For most games I just use OCs I created in 2006 for a fic I never wrote. (I wrote a prologue, but never continued) Instead of throwing the charas away, I just use them in games when they have a CC.

Example: Kita 

DAO:


SWTOR: 


ESO: 

(she looks the most how I imagine her in ESO tbh)

Working on a short story. Gosh, I love writing liars.

This will come as something less than a complete shock to a few of you.

Dumped, Drunk, and Dalish 🐺 ⬆️ @drunkdalish
You really do write wonderful liars. DAMMIT.

Don't say it

Nothing personal, bas.

Oof, somebody’s still sad from their bas battle.

I'm actually torn on how to respond on this because it was so devastating but so flawlessly conceived.
I love that we told him to stay loyal to the Qun... and he did. And then we paid for that arrogance (and so did he).
It's like a bomb that took two years to detonate.

Folks ask for choices with significant lasting consequences, and I do my best to make that happen, and then people get mad. So confusing!

(But yes, not a lever we pull too often, because that’s not really what most players WANT from a game. DAII has followers who could turn against you. Mass Effect didn’t — at least not as far as actually fighting you. Tali and Mordin showed their disagreement less directly...)

Wait, I guess in ME3, you could have had to fight Jack and Morinth! Both were pretty Easter-eggy, and neither was doing it voluntarily out of direct disagreement with your decisions, but they were in there.

Um, Wrex. Someone tweet him this. lol

Anyone else insanely curious about this short story he mentioned?
