What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

So, here's a question.

Every time Hawke said we took ship in Gawaren, I always imagined it to be on the northern coast of Fereldan. But I was looking at maps the other day, and what they did instead is go nearly as far to the south east- south of the Brecilian Forest even. And that's where Gwaren is.

Seems a bit weird, the shortest boat ride is going to be to the north.

Today, I was out in Hafters Woods near the fortress and I found a dog...? Or is it a wolf? Anyway, it won't move... It's just stuck here.

Squish The Mabari is probably mesmerized by Iron Bulls pillowy man bosom. Or his massive guns. It happens. 
He'll snap out of it. One day. Maybe.

I just finished my DA:I canon run after I bought the goty edition about two weeks ago, and wow just wow that ending I hope we get an announcement for DA4 next year because my heart!

Now is time to romance Cullen with a man because I can

Not for my Trevelían. He's love only platonic. Willard lonely. (But Josie was lovely, when tried to cheer up him in the Winter Palace.)

No, I have some, and I have two finished. This is my lonely one. I like him, probably my favorite, but I'm not sure about it (I usually don't have "headcanon" protagonist, the Inquisitors are all different, as my Wardens and Hawkes).

We went to investigate the Bone Pit.
Dragons had killed the miners.
I'm not sure if Isabella is afraid of dragons, or she just likes holding my hand.
I kinda hope it's the latter.

We came back via the wounded coast and took a job hunting down some Qunari mercenaries.
These ones were so foul that even other Qunari found them offensive apparently.
They had killed a messenger, who was carrying Grey Warden documents.
The Wardens can have their documents back, but I'm keeping the booze.
Anything that smells this bad should have quite a kick to it.

I took a break from Alexandra's run in DAI and played Skyrim Special Edition for the first time. Fun game so far.

As my first character, I decided my canon Inquisitor Natalia, crossover to Skyrim. I made her a dual wield mage/warrior Imperial.

Decided to try the Fereldan Frostback at level 10 (hard with even ground on), and was mightily slaughtered by her, though her babies were easy.*** I know people have defeated her on nightmare at lower levels, so evidently I just suck? I am in the process of crafting better fire-resistant gear for my party, and a better frost staff for Dorian -- and frost runes, if I can -- so I can try again. I'm trying to gain more approval from Iron Bull because I want to start the romance content, and supposedly I need a dragon's tooth? Unlike many of the other companions, he has NOTHING new to say upon arriving at Skyhold, which I had forgotten about.

Also got to hear what was found in Calpernia's crystal. I wish there were a lot more content here, but it was cool regardless.

***I had to headcanon that the dragon was terrorizing Redcliffe, otherwise I feel really bad killing her. She pretty much minds her own business until you mess with her.

--Finished the Fredrick questline and took the Abyssal dragon. I brought along Bull for his line. That particular dragon is only annoying. She doesn't stun, she doesn't fly off and she has no adds to deal with.

--Then I did something that I hadn't done before. I went straight from the Western Approach to Adamant at level 17. I couldn't see my warrior being the type to go deal with a fancy ball and just let the thing with the Wardens left hanging. When she got back to reality, she chewed the Wardens out and threw them out of southern Thedas. This was also after leaving Stroud behind. Valena is a devout Andrastian and was (in my mind) crying a little bit when she got her memories back. She was very pissed off and wants them gone.

--Sera disapproved of me banishing the Wardens, which I thought was a little odd. I got the approval back when I had Blackwall stay. "Your loyalty is never in question, Blackwall." <snicker> So I guess Sera was more upset that Blackwall might take off.

--Bull, Blackwall (duh) and Dorian didn't approve of me kicking out the Wardens. Thankfully Dorian and Valena have been close since they met; Bull thinks she kicks a lot of ass; and I've still got more items to get for Blackwall so he can maintain his cover.

--Now, I knew that Solas was going to approve of me doing that. Apparently I finally got enough approval to get the Haven Fade sequence. This is the longest that it's taken for me to get that scene. I usually get it right after I hit Skyhold. Now hopefully his personal quest will trigger.

Next time, off to Emprise du Lion. Time to see remaining active front of the civil war before putting on party clothes.

This is my usual zone order:

Haven
Hinterlands til I can recruit.
Grab Sera, Bull, Blackwall and Vivi
Back to the Hinterlands except for the dragon
Fallow Mire
IHW or CotJ
Storm Coast
Hinterland dragon
IYHSB

Skyhold
Exalted Plains
Oasis if I bother to unlock it
Crestwood
Western Approach
Emprise du Lion
WHWM
HLTA
Emerald Graves
Hissing Wastes
Emprise du Lion dragons
Arbor Wilds
JoH
Descent
End
Trespasser

I like having Solas around for JoH.  I didn't take Varric with me to the Deep Roads last time so I will this time.
