What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

The female armor looks a bit less ridiculous. At least it isn't all poofy.

I like the female rogue version, except for the random red bits that look like blood stains.

Or maybe they are blood stains? Who knows.

Otto played some Wicked Grace. He had a lot of fun.

Yeeeeeeeee.

Otto also attended a party. It was also a lot of fun.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

And I guess Otto went to the fade and back and allied with the Wardens and then during the party had to decide the future of a country. Varric is a cuck who deserves better than Bitchanca, Vivienne's sugar daddy died, Leliana killed nuns (well because Otto egged her on. Why? Because he wanted to, that's why), gave Cullen an inspiring speech about the straight-edge lifestyle and a shoulder to cry on cuz he is a cutie and Blackwall lied to us but Otto forgave him because he is a cutie also.

A productive day!

Finished DA2. Nathan is heading for the hills with Anders and Bethany in tow.

Other things Surana did that I've not done. Told Anders she'd just tell everyone he was dead. And off he went. I was a little alarmed, and had to look up whether or not he'd ever come back Surana refuses to make people join the Wardens, but she did so to save Anders from death. Reminds her of her own conscription. Next, she wanted to give Nathaniel his stuff and just let him go. The Seneshal was upset about that. If anything, his argument with her just solidified her reasons. I hovered over the "Give the man his things and let him go already." While I looked to see if Nathaniel would also come back from this. I was pleased to find out he would. And off I sent the man to his freedom.

I much prefer the "Let me be a Warden" speech over the "You biotch, you made me a Warden."

When NAthaniel came back, Oghren was displeased I let Nathaniel become a Warden, so was Anders. And Oghren said, "Better watch out, he might pull a Zeran on you."

I laughed and laughed and laughed. Ya Oghren? Nathaniel might turn out to be a passionate dedicated Assassin turned lover of mine? If that's your only warning then...moving along. Writers didn't take into account a Zev romanced Warden for that line?

Are all the click points just for Anders? I've run into a tree and a statue and Anders' scenes happen.

Also, Oghren said he'd been on the surface 2 years. Except he joined my party last, and the Wikia says it's only been 6 months between the Post AD Celebration Party and my being told to come to Vigil Keep. If I'd gone straight to ORzamaar, maybe he could claim 15 months.... I'd like to think a year had passed, which is the middle of those two points.

On an unrelated Hawke note... People sacrifice Hawke a lot because of the Flemeth prophecy. But why wouldn't the prophecy be about the mage/templar decision at the end of the game?

Interesting; I got the "he might pull a Zevran on you" once but this was after a PT in which Zevran turned on me and rejoined the Crows.  Does Awakening appear to have transferred all other decisions your Warden made?  Did you get a letter from Zevran acknowledging your relationship?

Hmmm....does it say the Patch covers PS3 version?  Is your PS3 connected to the internet? If so, that might be a way to fix things in a console game.

You sent Eremond to the Wardens? I didn't know that was possible! How did he react? I always had him made Tranquil because that seemed to be the only thing that would wipe the smirk off his face.

My PS3 is wirelessly connected to the Internet and connected to the "Dargon Age Servers". So, I assume it did not download automatically. When I googled the page for that patch, it specifically said, "For PC." But I'm assuming they would have also released it for PS3, yet we know it did not auto download.

he For PC directions say something about uninstalling and re installing the game with the patch download somewhere in all that, but I don't know how it would affect the save files. It sounds like something I'd try when we weren't in the middle of playing a game. I wouldn't want to mess up my husband's save file puttering around with installs. how does one even find the patches from a PS3?

Whelp, my husband's Siona Lavellan finished her play through. It took longer than I thought it would originally, since I didn't do the Forbidden Oasis or the Dirthamen Temple. However, since I have never played the xbone version before (PC player), I couldn't stop myself from farming schematics - no Golden Nug to use for this first play through. That way, if hubby ever decides to actually create and control a PC for himself, he will have some gear to wear and wouldn't need to go farming for himself.

As for the end of Siona's tale, we played through JoH and Decent right after Mythal's Temple. Then we took out Cory and began Trespasser. He liked keeping her fairly diplomatic, so he chose to disband the Inquisition with the "grateful to all who worked in the Inquisition" speech, and had also said she would try and change Solas' mind. My husband did have some trouble getting his head around some of the lore, so we had a nice discussion after Cassandra finished reading the highlights from Varric's new book. Also gave him some of my own insight on what I think might come to pass, in the next installment(s). We will see if any of my speculations come to pass.

It was interesting who he liked having in the party, during the different quests. His go-to warrior was The Iron Bull (even though he liked Cassandra well enough). He also liked Varric (knew him well from DA2), Solas and Dorian. Cole eventually grew on him as well, especially when he saw how I built him. He was impressed how quickly he could kill most enemies. The only character he never seemed to choose, was Vivienne. I grabbed her a few times, just so he could at least see how her specialization worked, but he didn't seem to care much. He adores Indira Varma, but disliked Viv (though oddly enough, Viv liked our Inky by the the latter part of the game - not thrilled however that softened Leliana became Divine). He also seemed to like Sera and Blackwall, but would forget about them most of the time. He was less likely to choose Sera because she was an archer like our Inquisitor (however he didn't seem to view "Bianca" in the same light, for some reason ). Eventually he just sort of forgot about her. I purposefully got Sera to high approval though, since I wanted him to see her a bit more. Also saved Blackwall and allowed him to redeem himself - I should note, that my husband did choose that option. But shortly after that reveal, he began to forget about Thom again. *shrug* It just goes to show, some characters stick with you better than others.

Now it is time for me to complete a few play throughs, but all you people playing DAO and DA2, are making me itch to play through both of those games. Decisions, decisions.
