What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Okay, I sufficiently wound myself up to feel like going back to Inquisition after my unexpected tryst with Revel Hawke.

My big "but you do want to see that, don't ya?" are:

1. Dorian and whatever story elements are there - I am picking up too many spoilers, so I am trying not to look, but I still got a vibe he has Corypheus connection/involvement of a kind as well.
2. I want to see if Cassandra has any funny or cute scenes when she meets Hawke. Throughout DA2 she is so intent on talking about him with Varric, and Varric even teases her about possibly having a crash on Hawke. I want to see if they did anything with it... if we indeed seeing Hawke altogether in Crestwood.
3. I want to talk to Cole because I was not really.
4. It's not as if I am thinking about going a little back in Dusk's saves and either cancelling Blackwall's romance break up or hacking Cullen's lock... not really. But, well, maybe it's worth talking to Cullen again. And checking out mods for his alternative appearances.

Willard Trevelyan, lvl16, rift mage, lone wolf (prequel)

Willard helped to Cassandra to seek for Seeker Lucius, and finally, despite, that he have some doubts about the Order, advised to Cassandra that she should rebuild the Seekers.
1. Cassandra promised, that she will work for the research of the safe "cure" of the Tranquility, and no more dirty secret.
2. Willard wants freedom for mages, but know well, that they can be dangerous. Seekers don't use lyrium, and have some useful abilities, so: based on their abilities and with the help of mages they capable of effective action against the rogue mages. To a new start this seems good it just needs to be implemented. Cassandra seems naive, but seems less malicious against the mages then was before.

A strange Letter from "Lord Samson", the Commander of the Red Templars


They found Cassandra's apprentice, poor guy looked badly, bot spoke about Lord Seeker Lucius.


Finally, Willard and Cassandra met with Lord Seeker Lucius


After this meeting, Cassandra's faith was shaken. Lord Lucius' old book revealed a few secrets


Later Willard asked a few more questions from Cassandra about the tranquility's "cure"


Willard hopes, she telling the truth.

Bonus:

Say hello to the posters, Haha Treveylan. Hello posters. I will be getting the templars support shortly

Oh, for the love of god! That pos game! That bloody extolled exploration!

Oh, slice it all to ribbons to nine freezing hells!

I was trying and trying to get North on the bloody idiotic exalted plains, fought through some maze, and whatever other mobs, and I just can't find a way. I started searching, and there is some idiotic bridge to fix, and an operation to unlock, to just get north. You frigging gotta be kidding me!

I guess, you can't go north till you clear out the south and do the blimey quest chain with setting every pit there is to set on fire.

What a nightmare.

Is that how every map is going to be now? Read a walk through before starting or you are set for three hours of wasted time?

Gods, I just hate this game now.

The bridge isn't tied to completion of anything but the war table Mission.

:/ Told ya to skip the plains- are you just trying to do a side quest of a companion? Skip those wooden fort things and just race your horse past the bad guys.

Did everything I could to get Cass's approval up and did her personal quest with the Seekers. We're a couple now.

I'm in a similar position as you. I will resign my job, if I find another, hopefully soon.

About Jade Empire: It's really nice, with lots of fun dialogues and elements from chinese mythology. The downside is, you can't make a custom character, you have to choose between three guys or gals

- I would say, most DA boards are also a gathering of BG fans by default

Mark of the Assassin is a mixed bag. First of all, it`s not related to the Hawkes, like Legacy. It starts as a burglary mission and develops into something quite different. I mostly disliked Tallis as a character, so she is not a positive reason for me. MotA is unusual for DA2, in a different way compared to Legacy. It has some funny banter, some interesting companion quests, side quests, and puzzles. What was worth for me is a very unusual stealth mission about infiltrating a castle. Something which Hawke needs to complete mostly alone. And of course, there is a plot concerning Thedas.
All in all, it`s a perfect fit for a purple rogue Hawke. Not so for a mage or a warrior. But for a rogue, it`s almost crafted especially for them. And a purple Hawke has some extremely funny moments.
Would I buy it again, in hindsight? Yes, but not for Tallis, and not for the original reason. Since it came out after Legacy, I expected a new plot involving the Hawkes. But it fits well into the overall DA story and offers some insight for DA:I.

Bioware`s reaction about the modding community is typical for corporations. They don`t want to recognize any merit out of fear that modders would ask for something in return (especially they fear money and copyright). Which is just ridiculous!
I know only too well how it feels to be ignored this way. But your work has the most important recognition: from the fans. I most likely played some of your mods. And I thank you very much for them!

I'm working in the book sector (I love reading since I'm 6 years old) and I'm pretty sure, I will find a good new job soon too (I even applied for a comic mail order store - if that works out, it would be great). I hope, we will find both jobs, that make us more happy.

About Jade Empire: the chinese mythology is really interesting. Of course, JE is more of a fantasy game, it's a bit likes an far eastern version of DA or other fantay games, but like in DA, you have some reference to mythology from our world.  For example, I always thought, the elven pantheon is a mix between the celtic and northern pantheon and Fen'Harel has definitively some Loki vibes (trickster, outsider, betrayed the other gods, you never know, on which side he is...). And it's a bit similar with Jade Empire. Plus, it gives a very interesting new setting. The combat was a bit dificult fore me at the beginning, but you get used to it.

Here is a list of the characters, you can play: jadeempire.wikia.com/wiki/Player_character. I loved playing scholar Ling, essentially the mage class in JE

Well, if Melbella says I should play it...   IT sure is a quicker download than these modern games.
