What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

She even more repeatedly says that "my dear", with her tone, I suppose... Ugh! It sounds so insincere!

But it would be nice. I like Felix. 

Finally managed to disable nearly all my mods and play Riya again. Really, JoH is ten times worse modwise than Trespasser. In Trespasser some mods wont show and I have to see that no formal attire mod remains, but it never gave me that much trouble. In JoH I only kept the mods for Riya - hair, complexion, raven armor. Plus a no spider mod, since they creep me out in DA (I have to replace the spiders in all DA games, which makes DA2 look like The Walking Dead, since it has a lot of spiders and they get replaced by undead) - strangely enough, I don't have arachnophopia and I don't have a problem with spiders in other games.

Anyway: Riya and group (her lover IRon Bull and her two best friends Varric and Dorian) went to a fishing hut near that mysterious island. The fisher gave them some warnings  about not coming back alive blahblah, but allowed them to use one of his boats. They crossed the sea and meet a spirit, some girl, who waited for Ameridan (for a really loooong time, judging by her bones). She told them something about Ameridans mission and gave them her belongings, including an order from emperor Drakon I.
After that, the group got attacked by Hakkonites, which wasn't a big problem (for RIya & Co, the Hakkonites had plenty of problems in the end ), WHen that unpleasent business was over, they crossed the sea again and gave the boat back to the fisherman. His wife was looking for a cousin named Runa, who left a trail of axes (wtf? Avvar are really strange people ). When finding her, she was in the middle of getting attacked, so Riya & Co jumped in to help. As a thank you, Runa included them in her prayers, which was nice for Riya, because she got a raise in her magic, but bad for Iron Bull, because he browned his pants.

Nice gimmick: Varrick and IB talked about Tallis, which led to a pretty funny dialogue.

Well you could RP.

Hmmm....is the computer on the fritz?  Or is it the game software that's having problems?

fylimar   Is your version of Inquisition in English or German?  The Avvar all have Scandanavian names and accents.  (At least the accents are supposed to be Scandinavian.)  I guess the idea is to make them like the Vikings.  At least that is how I interpret it.

My version is english. But even for vikings, making a trail of axes is a bit strange (and not to say a waste of material) ... I'm not sure about the accents. Some of the avvar, I talked to sounded very british.

I have to say, that I find the JoH map a tad bit confusing. I'm at the point, where I simply will let my toon fall into the abyss, when I don't find, what I'm looking for, because that normally means, I'm too far above. Normally Riya survives the fall and if not, well ... shit happens

Riya has finished the single most annoying quest, I ever encountered in any game 'It remains to be seen'. It took me forever to find this skulls and I had to use a youtube tutorial or else I would be searching still. And after that, I had to find some fade beasts for a burial - nearly as annoying. Since another quest about a rogue inquisition soldier was on the way, I solved that too. It wasn't much fun either.
I wish, JoH would present some more exiting quests not those 'follow the trails'- und 'fetch the stuff' kind of quests. So far, it is not as promising as I thought. And I even haven't find the ice wall of the Hakkonites, that avvar leader is talking about (the one from the clan with the bear who tends to run away and get itself into trouble). It's one of the weaker DLCs, I played so far. In terms of DAO DLCs it's more like Golems of Amarant or Siege of Denerim kind of stuff, not Return to Ostargar or Wardens Keep. I'm doubtful, if I will play it again. It has some nice lore things, but too many uninspired fetch quests.

With Corypheus vanquished, Revas' focus is now on closing the remaining rifts, defeating the Venatori forces still in the Hissing Wastes, and killing dragons that pose a threat to population centers. Aside from Solas, the rest of her companions are still with her. However, relations are strained with some individuals...



Trespasser should be interesting!

Honestly, I would kick her out. Didn't know, that Sera could be (to quote her) 'such a tit'. I know, she is annoying sometimes, especially if you are an elf, but that dialogue is just ... well, I don't have words. She must be the most single minded companion in the history of DA companions. It would not surprise me, but she comes across as a free spirit at first and then you find out that she is more conservative than most of the chantry people about a lot of topics, not just elves

deadlydwarf fylimar

I must be a Sera fan because I find even her dislike to be amusing.

I'm surprised you don't like Alistair at all?!  For me, the only problem comes when trying to recruit Loghain.  Otherwise, most of his inclinations usually align with my PC.

I love the Merrill character and that wonderful Gaelic accent (American men are suckers for women with non-American accents) but can understand that things may not work out if your Hawke takes a hardline against blood magic. 1. I had both of those situations happen on my first PT.  It was sad not having Isabela around in Act 3; I felt a sense of loss every time I would come across an Isabela upgrade which she would obviously not be able to use.  As to Fenris, I always favor Sword and Shield warriors over 2-handed warriors, so his loss didn't bother me much.

You should try "Fair Weather Friends" on your next PT.  You'll almost certainly run across content you've never seen before!

I love Alistair, Morrigan, and Oghren has a redeeming charm in his final speech before the Archdemon.  Whereas Wynn really began to irritate me, especially playing a circle hating mage. Leliana is just crazy on a variety of things, I kinda hate her. I've done her personal quest two different ways and I think she's more true to herself when she admits she likes to murder people. It's her default go to resolution to all problems. 

I also rivaled Merril my second game and I felt like I was kicking a puppy. So, uh... Not going to bother doing that again, although it is rather easier than the friendship path considering those tomes. Sebastian amuses me- I like to rival him, and make him revel in his power hungry sin as he turns his back on the Chantry. Mwuahhahaha. But in the end, he wants you to kill Anders *sigh* and ruins all the fun. The one time I played with him, I was playing sociopath Aggro Male Hawke and killed Anders. The only time Sebastian will ever be pleased by the ending of DA2. And Fenris! I've also accidentally killed Fenris my first PT. But now I'm in lurve with him, so no way is that happening again. 

The only "I hate the Quiz" scenes I've gotten are from Vivienne. I love Viv hating me! Her scenes are so much better when she is biting you with her sharp words; she's so honest when she's not pretending to be your mom! All it takes is one conversation after allying the mages; argue that circles are not the way! The conversation itself is frustrating, but all the rest is gold. And then you don't have to do a single quest for the woman. ^^ Her quest is pretty dumb anyway.

I've gotten close to getting Sera's hate scenes. She just hates you in such a childish way, from your pictures, it makes me laugh. 

I think rivaling Cassandra leads to an OOC scene for her. She is too strong minded and firm in her resolve to be falling apart like that. Like, geez, Cass. Get it together, it's not that bad. 

I wish I could get Jose to hate me, that'd be interesting to see how she gets angry at you. But alas, Advisor status.

You can kinda get one scene with Leliana where she insults you, but it doesn't stick. Egads, I hate the woman. Maybe I should kill her in Origins, so she's a tragic ghost that fades away in Trespasser.

And I've not gotten Solas angry except for the two convos about keeping the Wardens and drinking from the well. He's actually quite easy to please. But I've seen some of his angry scenes on Youtube and I like him losing his composure and saying too much.
