Closed two or three rifts in the Emerald Graves with Sabrae. Then she went to the Storm Coast and closed a few darkspawn holes. She met the Iron Bull and said no to him joining. Then I lost the will to live play. Figure I load her up on a later date and see if she's more reasonable then.
Loaded up Hamin next and poked the war table before he headed out to get himself a elfy elf blade. Looked at his quest log and even if he has pretty little to do, it still felt overwhelming. So ended the session there and will probably pick it up at a later date.
May or may not have loaded the game to play around in the character creator.

But doesn't everyone need mercenaries?! One would think so. Maybe she's still just drunk from the blood of the last dragon she killed. That's what happens when you give tiny elves huge swords, suddenly they think they are an army. Or maybe she was miffed that he suggested she needed a front line body guard. Maybe I'll just have her skirt around him and check again before she visits Adamant. After all, mercenaries seem more useful for that job rather than on the dance floor. (Even if Bull has some slick moves) Or maybe I'll just woman up and do a run without Bull. One more thing to check off the "Stuff I haven't done yet" list. And Bulls "Yeah, okay, I'm fine, my feelings aren't hurt or anything" line was a bit funny. |

Finally started Descent with Alex and decided on Cassandra, Varric and Dorian to accompany her into the deep roads. I haven't played this DLC for a long time, so it felt refreshing to watch the cutscenes and explore the first three levels. Also recorded video clips, so I can go back and take pics of Alex's latest adventure.
The darkspawn horde fights weren't too bad. In fact, they were entertaining with all of the explosions and light shows thanks to both Varric (I was playing as him) and Dorian. Alex being a Champion, was still an invincible brick wall. I was keeping an eye on her health bar and during all battles, neither her guard nor health were broken. I can say the same for Cassandra, because she had new gear on. Plus a hidden blade masterwork on her sword.
Anyway, the lady Inquisitor and her team's heading down to the lower levels soon. Looking forward to fighting the sha-brytol.

In an interesting contrast tot he previous post, I finished the Descent today, with my second character to do so. It was definitely much easier as a Archer/Artificer than it was as a Winter/Rift (since so many enemies are immune to freeze and weaken). Although my Elemental Mines had this weird tendency to fly towards the ceiling.
I have to admit, it reminded me how much I love the atmosphere and the Deep Roads in general. If it weren't so incomplete-feeling and sequel-baity, it could've easily been the best part of the Inquisition.

Although my Elemental Mines had this weird tendency to fly towards the ceiling. Do a quick check before you start throwing out the EM. Conditions in which elemental mines are likely to fly upwards instead of strewn on the ground : * terrain is not flat * companion standing too close * dragon whirlwind forms a barrier * whiplash from the dragon's tail * throwing against mobs bearing shields that are too close I always cloak when I intend to mine. That gives me the time to decide on the best way to lay the EM. I also hit EG as soon as possible for the superb cool down (15%) amulet at the haunted chateau. The Hakkon dragon drops the master (20%) which is why nowadays, I hit JOH long before I finish up the main zones. |

Two bees in the bonnet.  * Roll in the hay with Cullen. It's nicely done but...also very stupid. 1] He's heavier than the Inq. 2] They're both wearing armor / clothing that is not easy to get off; buckles, knots, belts, boots, whatever. Armor + Cullen's weight, how does the Inq breathe?  huff huff ... oh she's all excited -- Cullen thinks. Sorry chantry boy, the Inq is running out of air. Didn't any of the devs think of it? Wouldn't it be better if the cutscene begins the same; she sits on the desk, accidentally breaks bottle, looks at each other, Cullen clears his desk. Cut to their feet as clothing and boots come off, then bare feet vanishes as they climb onto desk. Or want it more sexy? Have the Inq help Cullen remove armor, then loosen tunics a bit, make faces, they get on desk. ta da, but I guess the devs didn't want to go that extra mile. * I heard an exchange I think I've not heard before. Cass and Solas discuss the Wardens. Here's where I wish the Inq could cut in as Solas vented his anger at the Order for meddling with something (Joining) they did not understand. Since you say it's wrong, you're implying you understand what is the problem, why don't you tell them what is it that they're doing blindly? Why don't you tell them how to correct it or suggest a better way to deal with darkspawn? Why are you keeping quiet? Nope. The Inq has no voice to question Solas.  |

Well, yesterday I...well, played the game is overdoing it, actually. I got myself to the Hissing Wastes. Then found a nice and quiet spot (the tomb roughly in the center of the map). Then waited for banter...And yeah, I alternated between group members. Yep, I'm a completionist even with banter. One and a half hours well spent.  (Luckily I have a small apartment, so I could do other stuff while hearing the convos, or seeing if there was a dialogue wheel prompt during a banter scene). |

Nope. The Inq has no voice to question Solas. His dislike for the Wardens seems way over the top? Was it just Clarel's desire to bind demons/spirits that makes Solas hate the Wardens? Or is there something about the Old Gods that has yet to be revealed? And yes, it is very annoying when the banter covers substantive topics and the Inquisitor can't step in to ask questions or contribute to the conversation. Oh well... |

I've not seen anyone else go in this direction, so I'll assume I'm missing something in the lore. |

Probably Solas not too big fan of Tevinter because there is a more common practice summon demons/spirits, and Old Gods' history connected with the Golden/Black City... but i'm not sure about it, because my knowledge from the lore background is insufficient. |

If it's a Mage, their clothes would magically disappear. π Cullen being on top of the Inquisitor... umm.. he's not aware he's going to crack her ribs with his armour? π |

Maybe he hates the Wardens, for killing his old pals. Maybe he thinks, that he could fix them? Or that they will be fixed, when his plan works out? I don't think, his hatred for the wardens came from one guy who binds spirits and turned him into monsters. He doesn't hate all circle mages, despite some of them being responsible for the death of his friend, that spirit of wisdom. It must be a bit more complicated. I hope, we will get the story - and a bit more about these Old Gods. We know so much of the Maker and the elven gods, a bit more lore on the Tevinter gods would be great. Back to topic: - I played my future Solas romance LΓ¬rel a bit more (I call it the 'deadlydwarf-run', because your post is the reason, I will try one last time to romance that soddy elf ). She helped horsemaster Dennet and his people with watchtowers and against demon wolfs, fought off bandits in a fortress and helped Blackwall to find the grey warden stuff. Meet future Mrs. Dreadwolf (or something like that )  Now she can still laugh...  Aylin, my other archer (I just love them, ma favorite class) at that bandit fortress in the Hinterlands - she is a bit more advanced in the storyline than LΓrel right now.  And this one is from Riyas playthrough, a few days ago - that quest with Vivienne, where she showed Bastiens family around - it was a very sweet scene  Riya is currently at Fallow Mire, saving the Inquisition soldiers from that mad Avvar. |

Definitely a hit to what the Dalish elves believe. Corypheus and the Architect does seem to gel pretty well with what the Chantry teaches. The possibility that Andraste was a mage might be the biggest Thedas-shattering revelation. That and the nature of the Old Gods. In DA, all religious legends have at least a grain of truth to them. What they discover in Tevinter should be interesting. 2. I'm flattered! And she's a red-head with freckles! I didn't think that was possible!

The god concepts in DA are very interesting. 2. Normally redhead with freckles should be an Iron Bull romance, but I will dodge IB this time (maybe I let little Lia go for him) . That Blackwall mod is great - it leaves his beard and face untouched, but gave him this mohawk, which really suits him imo. he looks like an old viking warrior. I normally don't use companion mods, I like them as true as possible, but I always thought that BW should look a little fiercer. Edit: and you're welcome. It was your posts here and in the Solas romance thread (I guess), that convinced me to give wolfie a chance |

I've not seen anyone else go in this direction, so I'll assume I'm missing something in the lore. I've been wondering what did the ancient elves worship before some of them began to take over that role. They had to believe in something in the beginning before they began to learn to use magic more efficiently, more creatively which in turn extended their lifespan. They lived so long, capable of creating wonders that I think their religious beliefs changed. I doubt there were any competing race at that time; they would start thinking they're the alphas and look down on the other races; humans, dwarves and whoever else there was. Those early humans who settled in Tewinter probably thought they were gods too and learned from them / worshipped them. If the elves could shapechange into dragons; I wouldn't put it past them not to do so to impress / intimidate the Tewinter humans. One of them could appear riding on a dragon that was in reality, a shapechanged enuvaris. The enuvaris could so anything with the humans. I'd dearly love to probe Solas on this. For the present, the Old Gods buried beneath. I'm wondering if there had been some battle with Titans. We know Mythal fought with one. There could be others. Might these dragons not be old gods? Could they be followers of the enuvaris, shapechanged and charged to fight the Titans? How did they end up down there? The Titans trapped them there perhaps? * I'm also guessing not all the ancient elves had the same lifespan. The ones who lived the longest were the Enuvaris since they're the ones who were the most powerful. The ordinary elves would come to regard them as gods as each generation come and go. P.S. A thought just struck me. I'm wondering if we would get an ancient elf akin to Lorien. Those who watched Babylon 5 would know who I'm referring to. |

I finished Descent. Fighting the waves of sha-brytol and the rock guardian boss were brutal. No surprise, Alex was the only one, who stayed alive during that boss fight. It took long and I managed to revive Cassandra for the last bit, but overall, it was luck and determination again to beat this monster. (My canon inky, Natalia, still holds the fastest record for taking down the rock guardian).
Afterwards, Alex went back to complete opening all the doors with the Dwarven gears. She also got judged by the nug king on top of that. π
Anyway, just happy to be done this DLC. Trespasser is the last one, but I feel it's a bit too soon to say goodbye to this lady Inquisitor. π’

I started DAO
mother: My child? Are you ok
me: yes mother. What's going on?
mother: Howdy doody is killing everyone. We need to get to your father. Here's your new weapon. Its the super soaker 5000.
me: What?
mother: Its a water gun. Aim at the enemy's mouth and fire. They will drown. Take this. Its a 500 gallon backpack
me: This is awesome mom. Lets go drown the howdy doody clowns. hahahahaha
father: You need to leave my child. duncan warden. You need to get my child out of here while my wife and I die. Hurry
duncan: I will. First your child has to say yes to becoming a prison warden
me: I will. I will get vengence against the howdy doody clown. I will drown him with my super soaker. I will never forget you mom and dad
king cranola: Its hard to believe howdy doody would kill your parents. When we finished dealing with the lightspawn, we will head to your place to deal with the doody clown
me: Ok. I need a beer after all this walking
duncan: The beer tent is over there. Once you finish wetting your whistle, find alistair. He's another prison warden
duncan: Ok recruits. Go into the forest to get some paperwork that you will need to sign and I will need some blood from the lightspawn for the ritual
me: Its done duncan warden.
duncan: Ok. I need each of you to sign here that you will not reveal any details about the ritual. The blood you collected is for you to drink. You might survive
me: Alright. I live. Doesn't my dog have to drink as well?
duncan: What? No. What's his name?
me: His name is Harbinger. Every time you say his name, he will bark 4 times. It means ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL.
duncan: ah...yeah. Ok. Lets get this fight on the road. You and alistair will go up to the top of the tower to get the fire started. Want that fire nice and hot to cook steaks after we deal with the lightspawn. Now hurry
alistair: Why are lightspawn in the tower?
me: I don't know. Oh Mr. Lightspawn? Why are you in the tower?
lightspawn: RRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAARRRR
alistair: That's what I get for asking a stupid question.
me: I didn't know lightspawn get that big?
alistair: Hold on....Ok. It says in my lightspawn guidebook that lightspawn can be any size.
me: Where's my guidebook? Nevermind. Come on super soaker. Do your thing.
me: What the heck?
mage Morry: Remember me?
me: Yeah I do. Why I'm I here?
Morry: My mother, Flamingo, saved you and your friend.?
me: My friend. You mean my dog?
Morry: hahahaha. I mean the two legged one.
me: I need to talk with your mother
Flamingo: Feeling better?
me: Yes. Thanks for helping
Flamingo: No need. I decided to send my daughter with you. If you notice, she carries a boomstick on her back. She will be most useful
Morry: Thanks a lot mom. Come on prison wardens. Lets head to the nearest town.
alistair: Should we trust her?
me: What is it with you? Lets go.

We know the Chantry sees the Old Gods as the Dragon Gods of Tevinter. But what does Solas see them as? When I first heard the Dalish tales of how the Dread Wolf tricked the elven gods, I couldn't help but think there must be some connection between them (the evanuris) and the Old Gods. I've not seen anyone else go in this direction, so I'll assume I'm missing something in the lore. I've been wondering what did the ancient elves worship before some of them began to take over that role. They had to believe in something in the beginning before they began to learn to use magic more efficiently, more creatively which in turn extended their lifespan. They lived so long, capable of creating wonders that I think their religious beliefs changed. I doubt there were any competing race at that time; they would start thinking they're the alphas and look down on the other races; humans, dwarves and whoever else there was. Those early humans who settled in Tewinter probably thought they were gods too and learned from them / worshipped them. If the elves could shapechange into dragons; I wouldn't put it past them not to do so to impress / intimidate the Tewinter humans. One of them could appear riding on a dragon that was in reality, a shapechanged enuvaris. The enuvaris could so anything with the humans. I'd dearly love to probe Solas on this. For the present, the Old Gods buried beneath. I'm wondering if there had been some battle with Titans. We know Mythal fought with one. There could be others. Might these dragons not be old gods? Could they be followers of the enuvaris, shapechanged and charged to fight the Titans? How did they end up down there? The Titans trapped them there perhaps? * I'm also guessing not all the ancient elves had the same lifespan. The ones who lived the longest were the Enuvaris since they're the ones who were the most powerful. The ordinary elves would come to regard them as gods as each generation come and go. P.S. A thought just struck me. I'm wondering if we would get an ancient elf akin to Lorien. Those who watched Babylon 5 would know who I'm referring to. That gets me thinking...where were the humans in the pre-Veil world? The Dalish, at least, remember that there once was Arlathan and that elves were once immortal. None of the human lore and legends seems to cover or hint in any way how humans lived before Solas created the Veil. If I remember correctly, during the foray into the Qunari lyrium mine operation, you at least find evidence that dwarves existed during this period. Living underground was perhaps their only protection from a Veil-less world filled with magic which they lacked. But what of humans and Qunari? I really hope we don't have to wait until 2020 to get answers! lol |

1. Solas = Dread Wolf and the nature of elven gods/evanuris was the big revelation from Trespasser. Definitely a hit to what the Dalish elves believe. Corypheus and the Architect does seem to gel pretty well with what the Chantry teaches. The possibility that Andraste was a mage might be the biggest Thedas-shattering revelation. That and the nature of the Old Gods. In DA, all religious legends have at least a grain of truth to them. What they discover in Tevinter should be interesting. 2. I'm flattered! And she's a red-head with freckles! I didn't think that was possible! I think you'll like the romance; I liked it better than the ones with Josie, Sera, and Cass. And I did like all of those. And my goodness, you scalped Blackwall! There are some interesting mods out there! 1. I'm very excited about what we find out about all that in the next game. The god concepts in DA are very interesting. 2. Normally redhead with freckles should be an Iron Bull romance, but I will dodge IB this time (maybe I let little Lia go for him) . That Blackwall mod is great - it leaves his beard and face untouched, but gave him this mohawk, which really suits him imo. he looks like an old viking warrior. I normally don't use companion mods, I like them as true as possible, but I always thought that BW should look a little fiercer. Edit: and you're welcome. It was your posts here and in the Solas romance thread (I guess), that convinced me to give wolfie a chance Hmmm...a 2 meter tall Qunari and a one meter tall dwarf; the mechanics of such a relationship would be....interesting!  My deadly_dwarf romanced Josie and even though she's not super tall, she still had to bend over to kiss him! |

huff huff ... oh she's all excited -- Cullen thinks. Sorry chantry boy, the Inq is running out of air. Didn't any of the devs think of it? Wouldn't it be better if the cutscene begins the same; she sits on the desk, accidentally breaks bottle, looks at each other, Cullen clears his desk. Cut to their feet as clothing and boots come off, then bare feet vanishes as they climb onto desk. Or want it more sexy? Have the Inq help Cullen remove armor, then loosen tunics a bit, make faces, they get on desk. ta da, but I guess the devs didn't want to go that extra mile.
(Luckily I have a small apartment, so I could do other stuff while hearing the convos, or seeing if there was a dialogue wheel prompt during a banter scene).
