What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

1. I understand that ambience thing. I appreciate the mentioning of blue having a lore reason. neat.

2. Actually, right after posting, I thought about it more. Isn't where they are on the Pilgrim's path?

 your head canoned racism makes me laugh.

Hey, you were chatting me up abut Mahariel's parents. But other than Tamlen just being another orphan? I can't seem to find out when/how his parents died or even if they were part of the Sabrae clan or some other clan.

I hear ya.  I'm also getting weirded out by a Dragon Age tradition.  We've now had three games where the player can kill a Dalish clan.  The Nature of the Beast quest chain in DA:O and Merrill's clan in DA2.  Which is the Dalish Warden's clan.  This one has been the worst since we can kill them offscreen and it's your own PC's clan this time.  Yeah, the Dalish are more of a story vehicle and a concept then they are a detailed group.   I think the eluvian kinda counts, although that's more of an Elvhen artifact as opposed to a Dalish one.

Thinking about it, we could possibly see all Dalish wiped out depending upon how DA4 turns out.  A few of the ME writers came to the DA team, including Patrick Weekes.  Those that have played the ME series know how much they enjoy giving the player a chance to wipe an entire group or race off the map.  That doesn't bode well.

Those aren't the only clans potentially wiped off the map.

The three you listed: Sabrae, Zathrian's, Lavellan but also Vellana's clan by the Architect and Clan Virnehn by Imshael. 

Potentially 5 entire clans of the Dalish could be destroyed. And it's not like there are that many of them.

Are you sure about Vellana's clan?  The small group that broke off to follow Vellana were wiped out.  But I thought the rest of the clan still existed, though the Keeper passed away based on that one random encounter.

Felissa voluntarily becomes a chantry enunciate.

Maneave isn't as clear cut happy, but does say it gives her more time to study what she likes. Seggrit hates it, but if his business sucks, you're not on to just keep shopping there out of loyalty. He's kind of a jerk anyway.

Adun wasn't happy to be healer in charge in the first place. Seems relieved to be rid of the duty.

Bit Thren. Dunno. Feel like she'd be depressed at this point

What do people think of the idea that the father of Wynne's child is Gregoire?

Also, does anybody else read about Zevran in WoT2 and think that somehow is father dying was actually the result of a small Crow contract? His name is also not Aranai, that was the name of his Crow Master.

phoray Pretty sure Thren is still employed by the Inquisition. "Just not at the fore" as Morris says. Think she hints at something similar, but when you need to speak to her she's nowhere to be found.
As for last post. The ambiance stuff was just me being a twit. Was sure I remembered more blue fire in the games, but then it was nowhere to be seen once I started digging about. The lore reason is truthfully less lore and more that the Dragon Age artists dig giving their mages blue fire. Morrigan's cover model for Witch hunt had some nice blue flames in her palms, so I just took it a bit further and claimed it as elven magic. Saw that Heroes of Dragon age was also fond of blue flames for their mages.
And the path the Inquisition is not the Pilgrims path I think, but an old road Roderick found while on his summer pilgrimage.
As for Wynne and Gregoir, the only thing I have to say is that she's got good taste. Because hot damn. The true reason I'm pro circle, made flesh.

deadlydwarf Naked Inquisitor is the best Inquisitor. I wonder if reaching Skyhold will also be as...revealing about your character. Because that would be hilarious.
One thing I'm digging about mods is that suddenly, a lot of the elves have long, beautiful hair. And Anora's buns are back in fashion. Just alot of pretty hair on a lot of pretty faces.

And did stuff today! Hamin danced with Florianne, who was wearing a brand new dress and a bit more lively textures than the last time around. Also, Hamin slowed down on the nug grease in his hair, or maybe he could spread it more now that it reaches infinity and beyond. Celene and Brialla furthered the elven agenda, Florianne was taken as a quest reward and Josephine got the balcony dance. Every one was happy, except for Cullen who will probably hitting the Heralds Rest for some drinks once he reaches Skyhold.
Next session with Hamin will probably have him cooling off at Emprise du Lion.

Truthfully, not much point to a nudity mod in DAI. It worked well in DAO because of the love/romance scenes within the game and the ones modders were able to create and add to the game. "Skinquisition" (I think that's what the mod is called) really has no point. It replaces the Inky pajamas with nudity. It worked for the "waking up at Haven" scene. But then seeing my PC report for war table missions was a bit much and I disabled it. (I think I will reactivate before my next PT because it does make sense for that one scene.)

I'd be interested in hearing what mods you're using and how they're working out.  For my current PC, I downloaded sliders from nexus and added all the supporting mods - hair, complexion, etc. - the modder recommended.  You mention giving Florianne a new dress.  Do you know if there are any mods that do that for a female PC?  (Ideally for all the female Inquisition personnel.) 

From the Diary of Kara Trevelyan:



So, I am off to kill a Dragon in the Emerald Graves. Since I did not get my hands on Fade Touched Silverite, to the best of my knowledge anyways, I gave Cassandra a Dragon slaying rune. So off to pretty much swing by and get each Dragon, starting with the Emerald Graves.

I am also told by a friend of mine that Jyn Erso looks, and act like, Kara T.

phoray Maybe he was different when he was younger? Maybe the event caused him to become more strict and professional, to prevent this sort of mess from happening again?
The writer at least was loyal enough to the Chantry for Wynne to go straight to the First Enchanter with the matter, even if he claims she was wrong in that regard. And Greagoir is quick enough to listen to the First Enchanters advice if the Warden brings him out alive, even if he was prepared to anull the Circle when the Warden went in. If Greagoir was a die hard Chantry follower he would probably have been on Cullens side on how to handle this. Yet he's perfectly willing to listen and heed the words of a mage who has spent quite sometime under the hands of a of Blood Mage.
But I have no idea. I don't think it's out of the question, but not a die hard supporter of that ship either.
I just thinks he looks nice with his lovely beard.
