Dragon Age The Joyguard (formerly Hype Train) [Spoilers]

The thought had occured to me as well though not sure where to mention it given there are a few people now reading TVN out there as well...

But its not exactly a comforting thought since that stuff was pretty uncomfortable. 

The point was there are occasions when it is necessary not that ther aer possible workarounds I was jus tusing that as an example as that was the firs tthin gtha tentered my head

Yeah I'm planning a complete run after I' mdone wit hDAI. Though m yplan is clea rsom espac efor Veilguard firs tas I don't hav eenough spac eyet once. After that I'll likel ybe starting m yMass Effec t/ Dragon Ag ecycl ean dalternating between the 2 again as news on Veilguard has kin dof put me in a moer genreal Bioware mood.

Yeah I'm mos texcited t og obac kt oDAO and 2 as it' sbeen a tleas t2 years since I las tplayed. I don' tkno wwha tm yHawke or Warden will be yet but I'll b edecidin tha tafter I finis hm yactive DAI laythrough. Bu tit's likel ygoin gt ob eth efirs to fmany over the next few months.

Given it' sunlikely we'er goin ganywher Souther n Thedas again i doub twe 'll  see Aveline. W ema yse e1 o r2 Inquisitoin charactres  suc has Varric an dHarding and o fcours ethe Inquisitor. Bu ti doub tanyon efrom DAO or 2 will b eshowin gup. Only on ewh omigh tis probabl yIsabella given she is a ship Captain. I  think it's mor elikel ywe'llonl yse echaractres from Inquisition in this game Sinc eyo uhav eseveral team member sthat were from Nothern Thedas .Like Josephine who' sfrom Antiva  o rDorian who' sfrom Tevinter stuff lik ethat 

Nice I hav eDAI as m ywallpaper. It' sjus tbasically a pic of the Inquisito rclosing a rift.

Yea hm yplan atm is to finish DAI then pla yForspoken as I'm still to ye tpla yit's DLC and I wanted t opla yth emain game again an dbecause it's 150 gb I can remov etha tand replace i twith Veilguard as I'm kin dof limited for space. As Forspoken is probabl ythe bigges gam esitting on m yhard drive. 

It was getting a bit lonesome in the Lighthouse so I decided to swing by the hypetrain for a bit. I have such a itch to just try to read all the things... I just want them to release the game now thank you. Trying to keep myself busy with DA:I, next time I get some time to play I will get going with "Champions of the Just". This time round I will ally with the templars, do believe my Inquisitor went with the mages last time round. It will be nice to have Dorian and Cole back in the party.

I remember really enjoying playing through that part of the game last time. Have tried both the mage- and the templar-version so I have some vague idea of what's to come but I have forgotten a lot which is nice. I do not believe that I played a human noble last time round so it will be interesting to see if nobility- or chantry-knowledge will give something extra. My Inky has relatives who works in the chantry and probably have some distant relatives in the templar order as well so she probably sided with them for familiarity.

I like Champions of the Just, but I have a hard time making any Inquisitor ignore the time magic stuff in Redcliffe once they've seen it. The only times I've played CotJ, I didn't even let the Inquisitor go talk to Dorian, just sent them straight to the Templars.

I'm on DA2 in my Dragon Age replay right now. I hope that by the time I finish DAI, we'll at least have a release date for DAV.

Funnily enough, it was seeing all the weird magic stuff going on in Redcliffe that made my hunter Lavellan think "We need Templars." The logic being we will be going up against powerful mages from Tevinter after sealing the Breach so we need magic negation specialists.  I was happy to work with the mages from the south but it was clear Fiona had sold them and the people of Ferelden out to Tevinter when she indentured them all to Alexius.   Why would I trust the time bending Magister in this? (Of course it turns out we can't and it was just a trap). Why would I trust Dorian, whom I don't know either and is another member of the Tevinter elite. He may appear charming but Alexius may just be his political rival. The Chantry may be bad but Tevinter are the old enemy of my people. So I headed off to recruit the Templars.
