What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Started a new Cousland in DAO yesterday, was just going to make the character but of course got hooked and got to Ostagar and to the point of entering the Korcari wilds.

Darcy is a male with a faithful Hound called Baron. As per talyn82 plan I will endeavour to ignore Morrigan and romance Leliana but marry Anora.

Playing as a dual wielding Rogue (as usual ) in DAO and DA2.

I swear he's not cross eyed normally - not the best character I have created but I got impatient

Darcy Cousland



Traitor



Duncan makes an entrance



Bye mum and dad



I see dead people



Big Al sorry not going to be the best ending for you

Took some time to help the companions: Cole is more human now, Cassandra learned the truth about the Seekers and was motivated into rebuild them, made a deal with the noble at Verchiel although that wasn`t Sera`s favorite outcome, managed to elevate the Du Paraquettes into nobility to save Josephine from the House of Repose assassins and went for a romantic walk with Cullen.

Afterwards i went to the Exalted Plains and helped the two factions of the Orlesian civil war against undead and the Freeman of the Dales, did some errants for the Dalish and recruited one of them to the inquisition, Solas spirit friend was freed from the mages magic binding, hunted another dragon, solved some ancient elven puzzle and explored the Lost Temple of Dirthamen.

Darcy Cousland made a lot of headway yesterday, completed Ostagar defeating the spit Ogre, lighting the beacon and watching Loghain become a traitor but then wound up in the Witch of The Wilds Hut.

Darcy was disappointed not to stay for the stew on the stove but pleased Morrigan was coming with them to Lothering.

Dealt with everything in Lothering and picked up two new recruits Leliana and Sven. Leaving Lothering helped out some Dwarfs, Bodhan and Sandal and headed to our first camp where Darcy experienced bad dreams. He continued to sass Alistair and romanced Leliana to the kissing stage (thanks to gifts), Dary is wary of the wiles of The Witch of The Wiles though.

The Witch of The Wiles, Morrigan is nearly always my romance option when I play as a male, feels very weird to not be pursuing that option!!!!



Morrigan's Mum AKA Flemeth.



Poor Daveth succumbs to white eye ball disease



Ser Jory succumbs to white flag disease and meets Ser Duncan McStabby



Darcy Cousland survives the Yard Glass challenge and becomes a Grey Warden



To The Tower



A traitorous turn of events.



Back to the Hut



Leliana makes an impression, look forward to seeing you at camp



Will be seeing you both later

Thought I had the hand fix mod (ducks off to check) nope must have removed it at some stage, oh well sorry to creep you out. 

So question for cleverer people than me, one of my MODS for some reason that gives me armour is working in that the armour is in my inventory but when equipped it does not show just blacks out the PC torso etc.

Any suggestions as to why or how to fix it?

The sad thing is I cannot remember it's name to be sure I have the DAZIP file in the override folder and therefore run it through the updater. The fact it is in my inventory but cannot be equipped properly seems weird.

I also cannot find it on NMM to redownload it.

I think DAO just doesn' tlike modern hardwar I'm getting throu ghit but it's been crashing on m elatel ytoo. Strange reall ybecause it worked fin for me  when I firs tplayed it on this system. I'm currentl yworking throu ghm yown playthroug hcurrentl yin th efade with the Sloth Demon atm. As I' m working through th emage section. Lookin forward t ojus tgettin back with the rest of my team.

Yeah I generall ydon't have a problem becaus ewhen i tis working it runs fine it's just been having a fewissues crashin gin fac tit's jus tcrashing moer than usua land in fac tit jus tcrashed again a minute ago. TBH I'm justtryin gt osoldier on an dhit the save button frequently it seems t ob ehappening most when I go in and out of buildings fo rsome reason whic honce you get t oth eDenerim part of the game you end up doing a lo twhich can be a problem. As I'm trying t owor kthrouh the Urn o fSacred Ashes ques tafte rtha tm ypla nwas to tr yand do some of the Chanter board typ equests t oearn som money befo reI then eventuall yturn t odoing the Elf and Dwarf parts of the game. I'm just trying t osoldier on throug han dhope I don' trun into issues in DA2. Though I will sa yDA2 does tend t ob emoer stabl eanywa y becaus eof the 2 games in the pas tDAO has ha dmore of a tendenc yt ocrash than DA2 but DAO has never given me as much troubl eas it's giving me this time. The good new s is because I am saving regularl yI' mstill making progress it's jus tbeen slower than usual du eto thes eissues I want t okeep playing though as I'm ver ymuch thanks t oVeilguard in a Dragon Age mood atm.

So not a great deal done yesterday as i was mucking around with MODS, Inventory, Changing characters abilities and spells and doing a lot of talking at camp.

Discovered even though I didn't "bed" Morrigan, Leliana thinks something is going on as I had Morrigan at 100 = Love. So told her nothing was going on and it is only her, Morrigan told me I should have bedded her when I had the chance. plus minus some astronomical number of relationship points, think it was -40 something

I knocked over Return to Ostagar and then headed to Soldiers Peak to get that out of the way. Does Cailan's armour etc. scale, I don't remember it being so crap and I normally have Alistair wear it every PT.

Speaking of Alistair Darcy apologised for being mean to him, I cannot be mean to the poor sod he's going to end up drunk in a tavern as is.

Poor Cailan

Today I got the pre-order for Veilguard.

I also reloaded after leaving Stroud in the fade. The current Inky just wouldn't leave the wardens leaderless and then toss them out of Orlais. Sorry, Hawke and Varric. Cannot remember the last time that I left Hawke but I know I've done it on at least one PT so here we go again. Good thing that Inky is wooing Josie because I will need something sweet and lovely to raise our spirits here.

Ha ha, I am playing an archer and guess who is decimating Quillbacks, my little Inky. Currently 2 out of 3, nearly there and then we can join the apparently numours artificers.

I believe i fyou lethe rgo she latr ebecomes a problem for Hawke in DA2. I'v enever actuall ylet her go so haven't seen o rdone it myself but I heard that's wha thappens
