What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Evanuris, Enuvaris...so much confusion.

Played some more DA I and met up with my final companion Dorian i like him a lot he is one of my most favorite companions. Then i set foot in my favorite desert i just love that place and did some side quests over there.



And killed this beautiful creature.

Finished Trespasser today. My "canon" Inquisitor run has been fully played through! Only thing I missed was finishing the darned fireworks game. Too annoying, too terribly annoying. I also need to remind myself not to read Sera's journal pre-Darvaraad...her last few lines bring out my inner two-year-old every time and I get a little sniffly.

Now it's on to giving Mass Effect another try! Or maybe going back to Origins and doing an Aeducan run, never gotten that very far and I really wanna try...no! Mass Effect! At least gotta make the attempt!

Now what was the fireworks game about?  Somehow, I totally missed that.

Took some heads in the halls. Pass judgement over Alexius and the mayor of Crestwood. Inky enjoys executing shems.

Well, we are snowed under here, so I spent a lot of my day playing DA2.

The resemblance to Baldur's Gate 2 is uncanny, with magic being persecuted, and Gallows reminding me of Spellhold, deep Roads reminiscent of the Underdark. The quests in the city, that is very much like the good old Athkatla, of which there were many, were not a burden so far, as a lot of them allowed for meeting and greeting the companions. So far, the only companion I did not talk to and recruited was Isabella. I already have a competition between Varric, Anders and Merrill for those two slots in the party.

I liked how DA2 reworked Elven faces, and Fenris in particular in the game looks way better than on a 2D portrait (so does Merill). Fenris overall is the most interesting character of the batch because he is voicing the anti-Mage sentiments in a ways that does not make you roll your eyes. It is very hard in this game not to be feel for the mages, as they are obviously as oppressed as the elves, and we are conditioned to root for those oppressed.

I like Merrill less than the new take on Anders, but i am tempted to keep the party human-free... I will probably just rotate Varric and Merril depending on what we are doing.

Very happy with my descision to play a rogue, the animations are great. I love the oriental-inspired stuff.

The biggest concern is the lack of gear for companions, though I read eventually I should be able to upgrade their gear or maybe get something new for them.

Overall, the game is very pleasant, and, certainly far better than the first one imo.

Yes, I will check wiki once I settle on my companions. There are too many vendors to just randomly check them all.

Sabrae cleaned Heidrun Thaig of Darkspawn. First time I've done it with the Travel Light trial. Usually I need to use all the potions from all the supply caches, so I was surprised she managed to do it on her first try. (With some sneaky running into covers to revive and heal her companions, but still).
She then got promptly killed by the enemies below and I learned that the game had in fact not quick saved after the fight, despite me hammering the button like mad once the fight ended. Luckily auto-save had my back or she'd have been a very irate Inquisitor.

I forget exactly what it is he says, but last time I saw that I tried parsing it through the bit of Elven that the players have been told, and I believe it came out along the lines of " I hope you can understand what I'm saying", or something close to that.

Tried to woo Cass as my Human Rogue. Talked to Solas about stuff - just completed the game on another char and its only the second time doing so. The ending is still fresh in my mind so talking about the orb and Corypheus with Solas is very interesting. I am at Skyhold as of this moment and lvl 15. Currently on the mission Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts. Oh, I also decided to ally with the Qunari via Iron Bull. Can't wait to see the effect that has on the world (hopefully it will be a bigger thing than just a codex later down the road).

Yesterday I tried to play trespasser and got stuck on the Eluvian - infinite loading screen. FML its the first time actually playing Trespasser and I can't even play it! I just want to see how everything ends for once. OFC I've heard that it ends on a cliffhanger with something to do with solas, but never actually seen it.

I guess I am wondering if when I drank from the well of sorrows with my char if since Flemeth died if I actually am still bound to her (or now to solas)

P.S. Don't spoil it for me please.

If you're on PC,

Trespasser is fine if it's run vanilla. I have played it a few times that way. However if you're using mods, some of the mods will clash with the DLC. Using the cmd line (for 60 fps) will also cause a failure to bring up the party selection once you use the first eluvian. 

I was using mods for a recent pass at Trespasser so transit inevitably failed. I managed to get through by forcing a transit but that PT for the DLC is horribly glitched that I did not get cutscenes I should have. I did get the ending though.

As far as I can figure, body, hair or eye mods will clash with the DLC. Although the eye mod I used is supposed to be lore friendly and there has been no problems with the main game and the other two DLCs, I removed it and noticed an immediate improvement to game / zone loading; the usual mere seconds instead of almost a minute.
