More Critters: Ghasts and Giant Spiders

They're are ghasts on the silent plains? Near the town of Solas? We could be being ambushed by ghasts on our way to investigate the town of solas? That's hilarious XD

Ghasts are an interesting enigma, I think. I feel sorry for them in Thedas - they only ever appeared in the one dlc and seem to have been forgotten or brushed under the carpet. In my pen and paper DA campaign, I intend to introduce them in the Deep Roads as a faction that the PCs can, with some invention, use against encroaching Darkspawn. Funnily enough, they are more like the original Genlocks (in looks, at least) than the newer gorilla-type ones.

Any evidence of Giant Spider worship in Thedas? Perhaps the Ghasts might exalt one. Hmmm...I think I'll have to add that as a plot thread in my own campaign!

There is a ghast in one of the concept arts, in what looks like a Tevinter market, maybe we will see more of them in da4?



I wonder why it's for sale? Do they train them as pets/slaves? Sacrifice them for blood magic? Study/experiment with the ones that can do magic?

What we need is bears. More bears. Lots and lots of bears.
Bears of all shapes and sizes, great bears, grizzly bears, I don't care as long as there's a bear.

Set them on fire. Let them breathe fire. Give them teleport and stealth abilities. Hafter Woods upgraded.

Agreed.

If they'd just forgotten about armies, Grey Wardens and all the rest and simply pointed a few of those bears at the Darkspawn there would be no such thing as Blights, and the Deep Roads would be safe enough for children to play in.
