What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Thank you. It's Ciri's hair from that mod: www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/4526. It's also available for elves and dwarves. I like it, because it doesn't look, like there is a beauty salon every five feet in Ferelden, it looks very naturally. I never played the Witcher games (will though one day, because after reading some Geralt stories, I started to like the guy), but from what I get, they try for a realistic look. I often have retextures of Triss armor too for my lady grey wardens, love that look - it's this one:

Thanks! I've just started a new play through as a mage, and it's uncanny how much I look like Ciri.
I thought I was playing Witcher 3.
Except for no scar on the cheek, and the nose is a little different, and the difference in height, and...

Ran into Bethany while fighting Qunari in Kirkwall. Bittersweet, but I do feel better knowing she is in Alistair's squad.

WOOOOOO, Archdemon is dead! I have to say, this has been one of my absolute favorite Origins playthroughs of all time... I enjoyed getting to spend time with Gunna Aeducan and watch her story unfold. The ending is great; she'll travel the world with Leliana for a time before returning to Amaranthine to help the Wardens rebuild. Her brother is tripping over himself in gratitude, unsure whether he's more grateful for the crown or the promise of aid against the darkspawn (Anora was all too happy to offer that particular boon). I absolutely love Loghain as a Warden and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to execute him again. After hunting the Wardens across Ferelden and refusing the aid of the Orlesians, his job is to..... recruit Ferelden Gray Wardens and eventually be stationed in Orlais lolol. Sweet irony.

I'll post screenshots here in a minute, but for now I'll leave off where Gorim did: "At any rate, I'll let these humans get back to their dwarf worship."

Well the day started like any other for Princess Cirilla Aeducan.
A feast and a proving in my honor.
I entered the proving, just to give them something to cheer about.


Fortunately I run into Duncan of the Grey Wardens, and he allowed me to join them.
He introduced me to the Human King, who made a jibe about my size, so I wasn't happy.
But then statistically, six out of seven dwarfs are not Happy.


And then I wake up in some shack.
Ciri: I remember you, the girl from the wilds.
Morrigan: I am Morrigan, least you have forgotten.
Morrigan: You've been through a lot ah', got some nasty fresh looking scars.
Ciri: What is this? Did you undress me?!
Morrigan: I had no choice! Soaked through with blood you were, and I had to see if you'd had any wounds that needed tendin'.
Ciri: Mhm. And if my breasts needed smearing with fox tallow...
Morrigan: Nay, nay--! Th-that was my mother-- I'd never dare. I swear. On my honor.
Ciri: Easy. I believe you. But stop looking at my breasts like that, 'tis most disturbing.

There's something not quite right about that dwarf. I can't quite put my finger on it, though...


I pretty much have to love you, just for this.

Survived the qunari uprising, and bought peace by turning Isabela over to the Arishok. First time I've done that, everyone was surprisingly chill about it.
Also taking Sebastian a lot more often. While all the virtuousness is a bit of a turn-off for me, he is way better written than I remembered.
Anders (paraphrase): "I'm starting to think this whole Justice thing wasn't a good idea."
Sebastian (exactly these words): "Huzza! He's seen the light!"

*scrolling through the backlog*
-How about this one?
-Nah.
-This?
-Played it, it's just a remastered.
-Fine, fine. Look that's been sitting there for years.
-Then it can wait a few more.
-*disgusted voice*
-Soooo DA again?
-What? No...

Thus begins T12, the saga of Lady Aeducan. A dwarven princess who lost everything she held dear. Then she found someone dear to hold her. And she saved one world by breaking another.

(Gameplay translation: Alistair romance with US. He spends the next ten years mourning and he gladly sacrifices himself in DAI. This way they can be reunited. Um, I hope.)

Hawke originally was a femmage but thanks to the dwarven inqis of T16 and T17 () I had to change a few things (class and gender variety, few in-character world choices). Now he'll be a rogue, probably with a bow since I haven't done that before (DD is pure fun).

Inqi is a femdalish with a baldy romance, obviously. It'll be the third time and sure it's sad, but darlin', this WS is the story of Sereda and Alistair.

Balls - after plplaying DAI for over two years, I run into a potentially gamebreakung bug. Dialogues suddendly wont fire properly. The dialogue partners just stare at me blankly for five minutes or the dialogue happen, but no sound and all very slow. I have found a video, that shows how to fix this, hopefully it helps. I'm not buying a new computer to play DAI, especially not, since the old one was good enough for two years. And yes, I disabled Origins in games.

Does someone has an explanation for that?

Eidt: the tip in the video helped, here is the link. But I still have the problem, that the game freezes occasionally and that I can't do nearly anything else while playing. Even loading threads in this board became extreemly slow and I never had the problem before.

And Edit again: Still not totally fixed. Widow Maura still has trouble speaking to me. I din't know, what that could be

No and I seem to have no problems, when I'm not in teh Hinterlands. I only had those problems with my elf Fyliana, who is doing Hinterland quests at the moment. When I switched to my dwarf Lia, who is far deeper in the game and was just at the Stormcoast for saving Sutherland and Crew, all is well. The strange thing is, that I haven't changed anything in the Hinterlands with a mod or so.

It seems, that my freeze is very loacally in the Hinterlands - from the hut of the elven widow, who likes to have her wedding ring back to the scout, who ,isses his partner. I have trouble talking to those two and the game freezes a lot in tha tarea, but when I talk to Rits for example everything is fine. This seems to be a problem, that pops up often, judging from the threads in other boards and at EA. It just happens one day and it isn't always the same area. For me it's the hut and the scout, which I consider lucky, because I don't need to go there ver again. The widow has her ring back and I found teh cache for recruit Wittle already. So quarantine zone from now on

After being able to play more or less normally again (as long, as I avoid aforementioned region in the Hinterlands), Fyliana was busy. She travelled to Orlais and witnessed the templars loosing their marbles completely, met with Sera and Vivienne, Found Blackwall in the Hinterlands, helped the refugees with food and supplies for the winter, saved an ill woman, whose son was with a cult somewhere in Nowhere, recruited said cult and met Iron Bull and his Chargers.

Is that a rhetorical question?


Sera might be mad, but she is funny


Orlesians ...

Hello Blackwall


The Stormcoast couldn't have received a better name
