Yeah, maybe you are right. I don't think, that I will make her grey, Trespasser is only two years after the main game and Riya is still pretty young, but since her hair isn't working in Trespasser and I don't like the original, she will definitively get new hair in Tresspasser  . I'm considering buying Jaws of Hakkon and Descent, but they are still expensive for pc - are they worth it? I know, that there is a funny scene, where you judge a bear and another one, where you meet the nug king, but apart from that, is there anything special to those dlcs? Some more companion insight or some cool storylines? Interesting, I have the Dragon Age Inquisition Game of the Year version for PC which came with all the DLC for roughly 40 US dollars. How much does getting the DLC separately cost you? For PC game versions, I believe there's compatibility between US and European versions. Supposedly, my DA2 is the French version. Anyhow, if you're stuck picking up the DLC separately, both are good, but the JOH is the better of the two. You are investigating what happened to the original Inquisitor hundreds of years earlier. The ultimate revelations add to the lore and I thought it was pretty neat! (No spoilers!) The environment is more jungle-like and the enemies you fight are angry Avvar similar to the ones of the Fallow Mire. Descent takes you back into the Deep Roads to investigate unexplained tremors that endanger important lyrium mines. You get to fight darkspawn in a big way in the first half of the DLC minus the Arch demon. If you liked the Deep Roads expedition with Varric and Bartrand in DA2, you'll like this DLC. You don't visit Orzammar unfortunately. In general, it is good for the lore of the Deep Roads and there are some neat looking environments. In both, you get access to new schematics: some good, some not so good IMHO. As far as companion interaction, better in JOH in my opinion. In particular, I thought Solas was good in JOH. (This, if you do JOH before killing Cory.) That's my 2 cents! If you can afford them, go for it! (Perhaps those who are more knowledgeable about the various versions can weight in on whether it's better for you to get the DLCs separately or bite the bullet and get the GOTY version.) Thank you, JoH does sound interesting, Descent not so much, I'm not a fan of the Deep Roads or Darkspawn. I was always glad in DAO, when I was finished with Orzammar. So I think, I'll give Hakkon a try I had buyed the hard copy of DAI and there is no pc version of the GOTY edition, only for the consoles. I buyed Trespasser in the Origin store. The other two dlcs still would cost me 14,99 Euros each, which is ok, but I'm still mad at EA for not offering a GOTY hardcopy edition for pc. I normally prefer hardcopies over virtual download - and trying to install DAO again as a virtual copy and failing horribly just convinces me to stay away from virtual downloads as much as possible, I'm old fashioned that way. |

I think you and Rija will really like JOH! FWIW I do think Descent does make the Deep Roads look better. You can check out youtube to get an idea of what things look like in Descent. |

I think you and Rija will really like JOH! FWIW I do think Descent does make the Deep Roads look better. You can check out youtube to get an idea of what things look like in Descent. Descent is definitely a better version of the Deep Roads which I couldn't wait to get out of; the loading screen as you progressed from one section to the next made it tiresome, especially when some of the segments are small areas. In Descent, I get the sense of stone and depths of the earth. I'm eager to explore. I want to know how the mystery work, how it moves, how it would look like. Is it even possible to see it above ground? Does it always move within the earth? Or does it not move at all? Even though I know it's a game, the char will not die, the thought of the depths below those walkways gives me the chills. I always go; you nugheads better not land on my head when I come down the ladder.  I always direct the Inq to run as soon as she lands at the bottom because there have been occasions she had been pushed off the ladder or knocked off a platform by someone zipping down. There is one thing I wish the devs had given more thought to. Once the party passed the Deep Roads, the next area is wonderfully dark. But the effect is kind of spoiled by the "natural" lighting of the chars. It would have made more sense if the dwarves had some kind of glow stones, the kind of stuff that glow on the walls of their buildings, and use them. They would take point and light the way or give some to the party. As it is, I always laughed when the party halted at Renn's stop gesture. How could they see what he was doing if it's as dark as they claimed? |

I've stumbled through the mountains and my party have found me. Resting I've just heard the most fascinating line whilst in conversation wither Mother Giselle.
She said "the living cannot make that journey..." in reference to the heavens being empty and how one enters that realm. What a cracking insight, has made me ponder beyond DAI into our own world and mortality.

Lifted up and carried along, what a moment. Both Dragon Age Inquisition and the first game, Dragon Age Origins, both had a grand sense of the cinematic! I don't recall any similar moments in DA2, but there are many DA2 loyalists here who would likely disagree with me! Mother Giselle singing and rallying the dispirited survivors of Haven is one of the great moments of DAI! |

The moment post Meredith where the Templars back the hell off and let you leave is pretty darn cool to me. But Hawke is no one's savior/hero or their prophet. It would have been weird to have a similar moment. |

I finally completed my completionist run of WEWH: Iona retrieved all 15 caprice coins, all 30 secrets, all the Halla, and with the Halla door mod activated, she was able to unlock all Halla doors and collect all the loot. She also earned "Belle of the Ball" despite being Dalish; she confronted Florianne at the end, taking her into custody, and made Celene, Briala, and Gaspard work together. Here's a couple of pics: |

Running another PT. Elven warrior with greastsword this time. The greatsword doesn't look too over big for her. I tried to conscript mages, a first and against my inclination. Boy, Leliana was really upset. Then I saw the companions' approval ratings. Sera approves greatly. Really...well then, I'll go the opposite way. It's what I always do anyway; recruit the mages as allies.
I've always wondered about elven + human pairings. What has been seen so far :
human male + elven female
Maric + Fiona = Alistair (human)
human male + elven female
Vincento + Arianni = Feynriel (human)
Elven father + human mother (I checked the char's ears in the hut, when she's lying down and sitting up, they're not pointed) = Hyndel (elf)
It seems to me that it's the male partner's racial / physical traits decide the child's? Need more examples but those are the three I can think of.
*
I think I know why Fiona reverted to normal and could never become a Grey Warden again. Maric. He had drank dragon blood. Dragons as we know, are capable of containing / resisting the blight if the invasion isn't widespread. It's possible the benefits of this ability was passed to her when she became pregnant and along to Alistair but in a diminished form.
I wonder if the HoF thought of dragon blood in the search to escape the Calling or if any GW had tried it.

I never noticed, that Hyndels mother was human, because in my game, she always lies, so that you can't see the ears properly. deadlydwarf I really like Iona, she looks very cute. I always find it sweet, how small elves look, when they dance with Florienne. I can't wait to have that scene with my little dwarf Lia thevoid Glad you like DAI so far. Imo they did a really great job with the songs in DAI. I hated it in DAO, when Leliana sung that elven song in the camp and a whole orchestra pitched in. here they use, what is really there: in the tavern: Meridens voice and lute and in that camp scene Mother Giselles voice and the others pitching in. That was much better executed and didn't break the story (plus Solas look was so funny  ) |

1. Interesting, I never noticed that about Hyndel's mother, given that this was a small, throw-away side quest.

Perhaps something to keep an eye on in the next game... 2. Now when, exactly, did Maric drink dragon's blood? I know it happened because of the comic but don't recall the timing. I do remember someone posting on the old board that in The Calling there was a moment where Maric stopped at a hut before going into the Deep Roads and asked if anyone knew what he did there? Perhaps that's when he drank it. But why? |

A couple quick questions...just completed investigating Din'an Hanin, the Tomb of the Emerald Knights in the Emerald Graves. You get an account of the events leading to the Exalted March on the Dales. But what was in there of interest to the Venatori? Also, I let my judgements accumulate. I haven't done any of them. Any suggestions? I've heard if you put several Venatori prisoners in there, they get into arguments with each other. At very least, if I put a couple of people away, it would give the jailer something to do. |

Don't worry, it's not DA - The Musical. You have a bard or rather minstrel in the tavern, who sings in the background, songs about events or companions and there is one scene, where a revered mother tries to lift the spirits of the people around her by sining a church song about hope. Tha tavern songs, you can ignore, because they are in the background and the church song is only 2 Minutes or so and is accompanied by some pretty neat reactions from bystanders, including your character, who is less than thrilled by it and a companion, who looks, like the people around him have gone mad |

At very least, if I put a couple of people away, it would give the jailer something to do. You know, I never knew, that I could visit the prisoners, I only discovered the prison in Skyhold a short while ago. Please share what you learn about bickering Venatori, sounds like fun . I did my judgements with Riya already, but LIa and Aylin haven't judged anyone yet. About the Emerald Graves: I only did it once so far and I don't remember. But generally, the Venatori were searching elvhen ruins for artifacts like the one, Solas gave Cory, maybe they looked for that there too? I just discovered my love for dual wielding rogues in DAI, so I made Aylin dw. It is so much fun. I love dw rogues in DAO and DA2, but so far, they didn't get me in DAI. I guess, it's a bit harder on low level. Aylin is now level 9 and has access to some nice feats. And completly off topic, but I started watching a SciFi show, called 'The Expanse' (great show btw) and in episode 1 of season two there is a soldier girl (Bonny or something like that) who looked exactly like my Shephard - it's eerie. My Shep has a bit more darker skin and she is smaller than Shephard, but still, the face is nearly identical. |

I finished reading DA Last Flight and thought it was a good story. It was interesting to read what happened during the fourth blight and the Wardens' use of griffons.
The next book I'm reading is The Calling (jumping around the order, I know). More about the Wardens. Seeing the logline, that and The Stolen Throne are prequels to DAO.

2. Now when, exactly, did Maric drink dragon's blood? I know it happened because of the comic but don't recall the timing. I do remember someone posting on the old board that in The Calling there was a moment where Maric stopped at a hut before going into the Deep Roads and asked if anyone knew what he did there? Perhaps that's when he drank it. But why? Maric was captured by a Dalish clan at the Korcari Wilds (before he was king) and handed over to the witch of the wilds. No prizes for guessing who it was. In return for a promise, she would help him escape. He never told anyone what the promise was. In DA Until We Sleep. Aurelian Titus, the magister who captured Maric years later and used him for his project, revealed the reason why he chose Maric. Maric had elements of dragon blood in him; he drank dragon blood while he was at the Korcari Wilds, presumably at Flemeth's behest for she had told him he would regain the Fereldan kingdom. Dragon blood would imbue him with the strength to do it. She also warned him of Loghain's betrayal. |

Just finished Awakening. Its the first time I used both Anders and Velanna together the whole time. I remember reading a post from someone that Velanna was going to be in DA2 and not Anders? I would've like to have seen that.
Anyways. It still cracks me up how the slide says Anders spends a few years with the Wardens, but yet during that time he's in Kirkwall. I read somewhere the reason for that. I believe it was David Gaider that gave a reason.
I mean if Anders is staying with the Wardens or could be dead, I would just have a new character in his place in DA2. The same can be said for Leliana even though she's a character I like. Whatever.
I may use this save for DA2. For now, I'm going back to ME.

Oh, I guess one more reason to avoid dai. Singing in the video games is so not my thing. I know BioWare is doing it now, even in SWTOR, but it was avoidable/skippable. I don't remember any singing in SWTOR.  |

A couple quick questions...just completed investigating Din'an Hanin, the Tomb of the Emerald Knights in the Emerald Graves. You get an account of the events leading to the Exalted March on the Dales. But what was in there of interest to the Venatori? Also, I let my judgements accumulate. I haven't done any of them. Any suggestions? I've heard if you put several Venatori prisoners in there, they get into arguments with each other. At very least, if I put a couple of people away, it would give the jailer something to do. The Venatori just knew elven ruins / tombs = treasure. They didn't know what's in there, they just want it, whatever it was. * I don't know about arguments. There's nobody in the cells. In the previous PT, I left judgements pretty late so there were many to go through but I never heard of any ruckus among the prisoners. OT Just saw a recent 5 min MEA vid of combat / gameplay. The graphics look good. the environment reminds me of DAI though. It's probably those rock formations; they're definitely using some of the DAI terrain. Gameplay, skill trees also look good. I'm still not going to pre-order, DA will have that honor / support. I will know soon enough whether I should buy on launch day or not since I'll have a chance to play it before that day. |

Just finished Awakening. Its the first time I used both Anders and Velanna together the whole time . I remember reading a post from someone that Velanna was going to be in DA2 and not Anders? I would've like to have seen that. Anyways. It still cracks me up how the slide says Anders spends a few years with the Wardens, but yet during that time he's in Kirkwall. I read somewhere the reason for that. I believe it was David Gaider that gave a reason. I mean if Anders is staying with the Wardens or could be dead, I would just have a new character in his place in DA2. The same can be said for Leliana even though she's a character I like. Whatever. I may use this save for DA2. For now, I'm going back to ME. Yes, as I know, there were an idea, that Velanna will be Justice's host. I'm glad, that finally Bioware chose Anders. In my worlds this was not a problem, because at the end game I always took Anders, Justice and Nathaniel, but I saw a video with Anders and Nate in DA2, if Anders died in Awakening, this is fun (but at least they tried to explain): |

I don't remember any singing in SWTOR. :blink: That new companion, what's her name(?), the Emperor' #23156 girlfriend does the singing for you. I have no recollection, but it was there... somewhere. I have remade my mage's face, and played through a bunch of quests, looking for comments from Isabella to Fenris, Aveline, Carver and Anders. Apparently, Carver's Rivalry doesn't lock in, so I will have to scrap the plan to take him in the Deep Roads. Because he likes it... I guess, I will have to bid farewell to him early. Sad, that. I am used to playing with him now. The game annoyingly crashed after chasing down the Blood Mages that abducted Templar students, so I am going back in to see how much I have to replay. Oh, Isabela refused to go into the Qun compound. I suppose her quest in Act II will be Qun related, since Arishok talked about a relic, and she is talking about a relic.... |

That new companion, what's her name(?), the Emperor' #23156 girlfriend does the singing for you. I have no recollection, but it was there... somewhere. Oh you meant Senya. I would say she was the Emperor's wife even though he didn't marry her. Much like Chani, the unacknowledged wife of Muad'Dib but every Fremen knew who she was. Senya gave the Emperor three children, tried to bring them up properly, keep them together. That's not girlfriend. To me, anyway. She doesn't do the singing for the protag, why should she do that unless it was at a party / gathering? I never heard her sing at such an event. The only time I heard her, it was to help her son, to let him know she's there for him, to give him strength to fight against his injuries, to help him remember himself. I don't mind the singing in DA. The only one that's really odd is Leliana's song even though I like it. * The Inq was nearly zapped by lightning at Crestwood. The screen just lit up and I was going; wtf was that? *blinking in bemusement.* |

. 
I always direct the Inq to run as soon as she lands at the bottom because there have been occasions she had been pushed off the ladder or knocked off a platform by someone zipping down.
