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

So someone who is not my boss accidentally approved all the time off I requested for it and my boss intimidated nothing he can do about it...I got like the 31st to the 5th off now.

given what I dropped on it we'll see if I can't get it to last till like February or March.

right now I have three Rooks kind of planned though maybe two rogues. Maybe a fourth warrior. And then this will see based on my propensity to do a playthrough as a Canon character. Of course a lot will depend on save slots and how good the game itself is and if anything grabs me. Of course to do wonder if I should plan for 4 Rook (one for each voice like I did for Inquisition but never got around to it. Or 6 (one for each background). If they even give us six slots.

let's see.

Male human Shadow Dragon named Oliver, either veil Ranger or saboteur.

Female human Grey Warden, probably a necromancer, named Andromeda.

Female human or elf, Antivan Crow, duelist, Gianna.

Shadow Dragons Evoker or Spellblade (main).
Grey Warden sword & shield Champion tank
Crow or Veil Jumper Ranger (hmm... probably)

Really though (because I'm a basic witch), I'll end up doing the 3 Mage specs. And BS myself that in the next DA, I'll play all the possible combinations.

I haven't decided on a class yet as I'm still waiting to see some mid-level combat. However, we're rocking Lords of Fortune.

I'm hoping for some dope pirate gear!

I'v egot ideas for a tleas t4 o r5 rooks but the 4th/5th ones ae rjus troug hsketches atm. The first 2 o r3 are the onl yones I kind of have more or less fleshed out atm. My first Rook Lucy will be a cute young looking blonde with shoulder length hair or hair in a ponytail (depending on the CC)  that happens to be a talented and powerful Grey warden mage who strongl ybelieves in wha th ewardens stand fo rprotectin gth einnocen tfrom th ehorrors of this world whether they be blood mages, demons o r darkspawn. She heard wha thappened down sou tht oth eGrey warden's there durin gth etime o fth ewar 10 years ago an ddoesn' twan tanything like that happening up north (given like Hawke in DA2)she's made a home here She will b ean Evoker making her especially strong in elemental magic.

My second and 3rd charactres aren't quite as fleshed out as Lucy as I'm kin do fgoing t obase i toff th egame a little bit ansd see whereit takes m ewit hLucy first before I fill their stories out more but they will both b eelves on ea mage the other a rogue. The mag elike Lucy will be an Evoke rbut she'll be par to fthe Veil jumpers who jus thappen sto have a knack of being able to deal with trouble th eelven rogue will likel ybe a Veil Ranger and belonging to the Lords of Fortune.

The 4th/5th ideas I hav eare mostl y t od owith bein geithre Antivan Crow o ra Shadow Dragon as I'm trying to come up with ideas that fit Rooks of all  6 factoins tha twould work for me. I probabl ywill end up playin gth egam emoer than 6 times though these a rejus tinitial idea san dthoughts for my first few runs.

Inquisition Mage combat was so fun. All I wanted to do was use Energy Barrage on cooldown and slash people with my laser sword. Throw in the occasional Immolate. Fade Step through enemies to slow them. It was so fun I could do it for hours. I basically already played "action RPG" cause I had no time to control my companions because I just WANTED TO MAAAAAAAAAGE.

It's why I might just go Spellblade first if we see more gameplay and it's super exciting. I hope the gameplay demo is out today. Didn't they say week of 19th? 

Yeah I'v enever played Reavre I'v eplayed Templa an dChampoin I would sa y Templar is m yfav ewarrior  spec mainl ybecaus eof rally and dispellin gabilities .I lk erall ymainl ybecause i tgives everyone guard thereb ygivin gthem a better chanc eo fsurviving an ddispel comes in hand ywit hthe rifts. I don't ten dto us edispe lon my mages becaus eI fin dthere's too man yothe ruseful abilities that I jus tdon' tfind I need i tso muc hthere. It is nic ety ohav ethere as an option though.

Ah yes, asking for time off. It's great being retired for me not to worry about stuff like that. excellent

Yeah it's one of the few benefits o fbeing disabled is yo ucan just live off your disability benefits and have a smuch time a syou wan tto play. I'd rathe rnot be diasbled and have t o rel yon benefits bu tit is on eof the few nice things about my situation
