What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

First and foremost the whole thing with the veil, you know "until the veil falls" and the "don't wake me up", somehow I just started associating it with Solas. I can't really explain it, sorry.
Haven't been listening to Hagalaz in some years now, guess I'll have to go back to that now cause I'm curious. ^^

I honestly don't remember where I got the name from. I initially used it for a character in Guild Wars 2, might be it came from a random name generator or it just popped into my head somehow. And I agree, it fits a Trevelyan very well!

OK, the end!
Coryphif... is dead!
Morrigan rocks!
Flemeth sucks!
Some cliffhangers:
I hoped there would be a more spectacular thing about the next Divine.
What about all the talk if I will lay down my arms as Inquisition after everything is done?
Next game is about Weisshaupt then?

As some summery or feedback. I did the right thing in completing every region and quest first. Skyhold is so empty and boring now.
The companions merely say hello, no talk about any threat, very few conversations between NPC, all the allies and special characters I recruited are gone.
Now it is really a shallow sandbox game with pixels to kill. I will not look for those few collections left and Descent does not work with mods, so I leave it.

But overall I really enjoyed it. It is interesting to find all those notes in the different areas (apart from lots of pages long pure lore, which I didn't read all ).
The main quest is really well done apart from the end a little.
Some companions quests are really good and others not so.
Romance wasn't really interesting, I chose Cassandra over Josephine as the only other option in the game. There wasn't much to do, except for repetitively spend the same scene together after the quest. Few extra banter and a walk to the balcony at the end.

Oh, thanks. I may have missed that DLC entirely.
I will check later today... there were two operations still running on the wartable. But I think they were just some political ones.

p.s. Trespasser crashed when talking to a merchant. I may not play it any more or at some time when I have the feeling to play it.

After going to Samson's lair and recovering the equipment Maddox used to work on Samson's armor, Revas brought all that was gathered to Dagna, who then crafted a special rune to destroy Samson's armor. Now at last, Revas and her companions were ready to head for the Arbor Wilds.

Gamer Notes: Recommended level for this area is 16-19. With Revas already at level 18, I dropped everything else to avoid going in overpowered. Having opted to support Briala, I found both her and "elven agents fighting as allies. I also saw her for the first time without her mask. I was slightly disappointed that she wasn't as attractive as she appeared at the Winter Palace. But then I remembered that much of what I saw at the Winter Palace was Briala in cut scenes while in the Arbor Wilds, I only saw her in "fighting size." My recent PCs all look great in cut scenes; they look like what was in the CC. They're not so attractive in "fighting size" either.

Briala's agents appeared to be there in place of the Imperial Army. Another ally in the Arbor Wilds that I never saw before was a rebel mage and several sellswords. The result of recruiting the mages? I've never seen them in previous pro-mage PTs.

Once inside the Temple, I opted to ally with Abelas and everything else one would expect from a Dalish Inquisitor. I decided not to use Dagna's rune when we ran into Samson. However, I did cast Mark of the Rift on his group when the fight started. That took him down a notch and killed all his cronies. I had Cass, Blackwall, and Solas with me; together, Samson was easily put down. Revas then drank from the Well much to Morrigan's dismay. I wonder if this will have any impact in DA4?

Did the rounds with the companions. One thing worthy of note; the Swords and Shields storyline with Cass has not triggered. Perhaps the result of the "Fair Weather Friends" trial?

Yikes! I mentioned previously doing the rounds with the companions but not with Sera. I expected the usual negative reaction about the Temple being filled with demons. Instead, the first reaction is an emotional plea about how Revas is hurting the little people. I'm then given a dialog about convincing Sera to stay or telling her to go. This has to be related to the "Fair Weather Friends" trial. Is there any particular event that would trigger this or is it just favorability sinking to new lows? To say the least, the "Fair Weather Friends" trial adds more drama!

(Also looks like I'll never get to the "Pranks" sequence... Oh well, they were all lame anyhow!)

I've just started my first ever male elf playthrough for Dorian as well as for incessant flirting with everyone in sight.

Aylin is very cute too!  BW really should hire you to redo all the female elf faces so they can reclaim their reputation of being attractive!

Do have Riya stick with JOH!  I think the ultimate story is worth the effort.  What mods did you have to disable?  Was it necessary to disable the hair mod?  (I wonder what hairstyle would replace the asymmetric bob?)

Hey folks - can you please spoiler tag those big photos? They are memory hogs.

I'd mentioned elsewhere that I'd forgotten my mods didn't apply to a male Hawke, and so the mod stole his clothes but didn't replace. So, here are two start of game pics with a very refugee looking Hawke.

Sorry, I put my last picture post in spoilers. I sometimes forget it

A Sera romance would work well with a Qunari, a dwarf, or even a pro-Templar human.  If you haven't done it before, it's worth doing once.  Definitely easier with a non-mage too.  The "Fair Weather Friends" trial definitely makes it more difficult to negotiate the minefield around Sera!

The pointed arrow scene I expected;  the scene I highlighted above was one I didn't know existed!  In my previous two PTs, both of my Dalish mages who drank from the well ultimately got friendly roof time and invited into the Red Jennies.  The difference this time is the "Fair Weather Friends" trial.  It definitely made things more interesting!  I'm surprised there wasn't anything more explosive with Vivienne; I guess you don't need a trial to lower your approval with Viv!
