What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

I must say, I'm really happy with Circle Bethany. She is the more easygoing of the two siblings and that can make her seem a bit bland sometimes, but with so many crazy people running around in Kirkwall (I don't exclude most of my Hawkes), she is a fresh breeze of sanity

And I really don't know, how one can find Blackwall boring, I reall find him an interesting character (plus he has hilarious dialogue with most companions), but that's of course personal taste.


I've gone back in Inaras playthrough a bit and changed the romance from Josie into Cullen. I really like Josie but it didn't felt right, maybe I'll try again with Aylin. Plus I have to do the Cullen romance at some point to get over my Cullen aversion, I had for two games. I couldn't stand that character in DAO or DA2, but I found him surprisingly well written in DAI, so I had to give him a chance, as a form of apology.
And Sera fits better with my dwarf.
This means, that I have to do Demands of teh Qun again (and of course I'll save the Chargers again, I love that group, especially Krem and Dalish - oh and the dwarf, who accidently smashed the shaperate or set it on fire )

DAI has its weaknesses, but I don't mind the astrariums or shard searching.  (Did they ever explain who set up the astrariums in the first place and why?)

The codex entry suggest a few things.

Did In Hushed Whispers with Cassandra, Sera, and our new friend Dorian. Recruited the mages into the Inquisition as allies after Queen Anora tossed them out of Fereldan Ferelden.

I recruited the healer in Redcliffe to help out at the Hinterlands. Then I finished the rest of the Corporal Vale quests and did other stuff in the Hinterlands with a few different companions.

Ended up at Redcliffe Farms, talked to Horsemaster Dennet and found out the conditions he had for joining the Inquisition. Acquired a mount and did a bid of racing, and cleared a rift and explored some caves in the area. Will help out Bron and Elaina next time.

Bethany is a good character, and it would have been great to see her in DAI as well. You are right: she's great because of her sanity, but perhaps it is her sanity which makes her a bit less memorable than the other DA2 characters, who are all "barking mad" or "batshit crazy" 

I actually like Cullen the most in DA2. He is so cute when he starts to have second thoughts about what he (and the Knight-Commander) is doing. I also liked his voice the most in DA2 - it had a soft and somehow dreamy texture which was largely lost in DAI.

I like to have my blonde men with that tortured look and with a double serving of melancholy. Otherwise I don't really care all that much about them

I must say, I have a lot of problems with Cullen in DAO and DA2. In DA2 he realised very late, what was wrong with Meredith, when nearly everyone else was already seeing it. I do like him in DAI though.


Does anyone know if that elf patrol in the Exalted Plains vanishes, once you talked to the keeper? I need still a few points favor with the Dalish to make that elf an agent and I don't want to have herded the Golden Halla back for nothing. If I could tell the keeper about teh patrol, that would be enough, but I can't find them

I did not know this for sure. I saw this two spelling. I was sure about the country, but not sure about the people.

I'm pretty sure they disappear once you make contact with the clan. Also, if you are an elf, you don't get brownie points for relaying the message.

I have finally everything together for Inara to become a rift mage .
I did most of the Hissing Waste and Exalted Plains today

Rift mage is SOOOOO much fun!
