What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Sergeant Kylon said he pay us to remove some riffraff who were causing trouble at the local brothel.
Well coin is always good, so we took the job.
We were attacked on the way there, it seems Denerim is not a safe place for an Elf.
At the Pearl, I'd persuaded the mercenary's to move on, when a fight broke out between a young women & the men she had been playing cards with.
We would of helped, but she didn't seem to need it.
Turns out the women was Captain Isabela, a "good friend" of Zevrans, and she invited us to join her on her ship.
Morrigan thought five was a crowd, she said to leave her 40 silver and she'd wait for us at the Pearl.

Then heading back to the markets to get paid, we ran into sergeant Kylon and a few of the mercenary's we had told to move on.
Tempers flared and we got some good loot.
Sergeant Kylon then had another job for us, moving on another group of troublemakers, this time from the local tavern.
As soon as we entered, we were assaulted by a fashion faux pas.
Leliana thought the woman must have been drunk to be seen in something like that.
The Crimson Oars didn't want to move on, so we put on a bit of a show for Edwina, who thought we did a good job.

But everywhere we go in Denerim, people seem upset with us.
You know, I think they're really trying to kill us.

So we're wandering into the house of a complete stranger to snoop around. ( as you do.) when the occupant took offense at us grilling him and just attacked us.

It seems we had stumbled on to some sinister plot involving something Leliana cared about, so we might follow that up.
With the back-streets of Denerim cleaned up, we'll be heading to the Spoiled Princess Tavern, in search of the missing scholar and the knights from Redcliff.

We got a very chilly welcome at Haven, and it wasn't the staff on my back.
They were hiding something.

The local priest wasn't very helpful, but we managed to find Brother Genitivi on our own.

So we fought our way through crazy religious fanatics and dragons until we reached the mountain top.

We finally made it outside, only to be greeted by this...

So we rounded up the best gear from the dragon's hoard and continued up the mountain.

I might go back to camp and reap the rewards of my new found favor, before heading to Redcliff and seeing if Eamon is going to side with us or Loghain.

Made the Magister that was trapped in the Cory's temple tranquil.. with my canon Mage Lavellan. It was a prime DA2 moment where i didn't expect my actions to affect anything... and it didn't

I played around with crafting today now that I've made it to Skyhold. I crafted my Ride the Lightning staff.

Weird. I am using the same format from Imgur that I used on old BSN. Does this work better?

Or this one?

I find the crazy malfunctions of your Surana PT to be hilarious. I can't tell of you did too, or just found it horribly frustrated.

Douglas caught up with Solas, who he didn't have a particular beef with, but left feeling somewhat angry (and short of half an arm). My first Trespasser runs were with my Solasmancing Lavellan, it was beautiful and heartbreaking and I was left with very confused and mixed feelings (Ellana felt much the same, "Oh yay! Elven Glory! Ummmmmm...wait..isn't that going to kill all my non-elven friends...like Hawke and Cassandra, Dorian and Sera? Ok, bad idea after all."). Douglas has no reason to be confused (or at least, any more confused than normal) over the fate of the elves, being neither an elf or a mage. He's just annoyed that Solas is trying to destroy the world, and told him so. I can see that if I hadn't first seen this with Ellana Lavellan i might see Solas as much more of a villain than I tend to generally. Douglas went for an angry honour guard (not that Cassandra needs any guarding) and peace keeping force, he's going to marry Josie and help her with her business empire, when he's not helping Sera and the Jennies or trying to find Solas and punch him out (to do: learn to left hook...).

With Douglas finished (first DA game played all the way through with a male hero! I prefer playing as girls in DA and boys in ME.), I had a brief wander around Redcliffe with his little sister Jenna the mage and discovered that Linnaea is even bitchier if you're a Trev Mage. She's off to save her silly fellow mages from the Vints. Jenna's supposed to be Thedas' biggest Hawke fangirl and all for Mage Freedom at any cost, she's smarter than Douglas and much more rebellious, just as embarrassing to the rest of the family though.

Then I decided I missed playing an elf, and it was time to create the long anticipated "Silmarillion Lavellan", (Hi, I am that fool on Reddit), "Sil" or Amras as I've decided to call him is as anti-Shem as I can manage, and was sent to the Conclave as a bodyguard for Ellana Lavellan. In this universe Ella died and Amras survived. He's stubbornly refusing to have anything to do with Andraste and is sticking close to Solas and Varric because they're not humans. Depending on how things go he's either going to warm to either Cassandra or Dorian, since Cassandra's pretty much disapproved of every word that's come out of his mouth, i think Dorian's in luck. He's a bit obsessed with elfroot at the moment, and shooting things. Other exciting thing is that I've upped the difficulty to "normal", which is a big deal for me, coz I usually play anything on the easiest setting possible.

I may have to abandon Thedas for Mass Effect a bit, coz N7 day is coming up and I want to feel part of the party.

Hahaha unmodified lesbian Morrigan. That is some crazy stuff.

Or -gasp- your Surana is a she male.

I used the Dragon Age 2 Keep mod and already suspect one discrepancy but am not certain. A tiny side quest about killing the nobles who tried to kill my Warden Commander. I mean. I thought Surana had done off with all those co conspirators in Awakening but some "got away" to Kirkwall and now my Hawke has their bounty. The same quest giver mentioned that not everyone had liked my Surana since she let Amaranthine burn. I had saved both places, so this was a flag to me. At the same time, both places are pretty damaged, yeah, so I wonder if it's you just can't please some people. Ya know, maybe being attacked at all was blamed on the Warden Commander.

Or maybe DA2 keep mod just didn't have enough flags to turn it off. All I know is, it's the first time a Hawke of mine has gotten the quest!

I played my Surana on a PS3. But have a goal to make a Fenris themed music video (song planned to be used is young and beautiful) so wanted to play DA2 on computer to take video clips and use mods. So, I used the mod to carry my Surana over. Only two things have been mentioned about the HOF world state so far, and that is that Alistair is king and that noble thing.

I'm a 5 hour drive from my computer so can't check the quest at the moment.

Finished up Act 2 with Emma. Needed two attempts to beat the Arishok. Not sure what I want to do next. I just played Legacy with Nathan, so I don't really feel like running through it again, but I want to hear Fenris' romance banter from the first section before doing Alone.
