What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

One tip that helps with banter is cutting down on fast travel, since that apparently resets the timer. When I learned that it helped speed things up a fair bit. But yeah, the banter bug is quite irksome. I too would just chill waiting for banter to trigger at times, lol.

Anyway, I finished the Urn of Sacred Ashes quest. Going in I was debating whether or not Theron would desecrate the ashes and whether I was willing to risk losing Wynne and Leliana over it, but the reaver dude was so unhinged we just immediately engaged in combat, haha. I also left the dragon alone, because it wasn't bothering Theron and I wasn't in the mood for a fight.

The trials were fun, even if I'm shit at puzzles. Theron complied with the rituals, since he has a lot of respect for tradition. I especially liked how Tamlen was brought back, it made for a solid character moment. I could really lay out Theron's sorrow over his failure to keep his kin safe. We met up with his ghoul form after the temple as well, which tied that origin quest together rather nicely. Dalish origin is honestly a lot better than I remember. I only wish I could have talked to Morrigan or Wynne about it, for some reason Alistair was the only one to ask, and we're barely cordial lmfao.

The Arl is awake and now we're back trudging through the Deep Roads. I really don't enjoy this section of the game lol, it's repetitive and tedious and I hate having to stare at cave walls for hours on end. Oh well, we soldier on into the void.

I finished the Western Approach and to keep up with the desert theme i also finished my least liked area: the Hissing Wastes.

Met Hawke and Stroud and had a short encounter with Magister Livius Erimond. And having learned how to hunt a high dragon i went to previous areas and hunted those dragons too. 

Western Approach:


Hissing Wastes:

Went to the Pearl. Talked with a nice lady that ended with us, and Alistair having some fun


Went to rescue the Queen but instead got my revenge by killing the mother****er Howe. Unfortunately ended up being captured. The heroines Wynne and Leliana rescued me. I will remember them when I become Queen


I go talk with the Queen knowing she won't be much longer. hehehehehehe

Went to the alienage to find out what's going on. There's a plague, but even worst was some dumb **** slaver taking elves.


Ah yes, the Landsmeet.

I think I'm going to play DAI again, to do all the side stuff I skipped on the last character I did back in June/July.

Now I need to think of a character...so I do not end up with a mage again.

Left Lothering today after doing sidequests and picking up Leliana (planned future girlfriend for my Cousland gal as I never did a f/f romance in DAO before). I am really enjoying revisiting DAO after so many years, had a couple laughs already (Alistair and Morrigan banter is just... ). Also quite nice that the keyboard and mouse controls are really noob-friendly, I have zero issues playing it so far, woohoo!

Some pics of Nora's adventures

I had to re set up my mods last PT, wasn't too bad and didn't take much time I just reserved a few hours before I decided to play.

I used Frosty and as I had it set up for MEA it was pretty quick as you can have multiple games on one launcher now.

It really was dump the file wherever it needs to be then load it to FMM. Some mods did not work and not sure whey when they were the same file type DAIMOD and same creator.

FMM seemed to cope with both DAIMOD and FBMOD for the most part.

If there was an easy way to transfer them I'd copy my files to you. If yopu need help setting FMM up again let me know but it's pretty straight forward.

Whose Valaslin is that?

Yeah I plan on goin gArtice rwhen I getto Inquisition. I'm makin g progress bu tslowly but the gam edoes sem t o b ecrashing a lo ton me atm whic his annoying. I am tryin gt osoldier on thoug hbu tif it keeps this up I ma yjus t skip ahead and jus tpla yInquisition.

The character i`m currently playing is an Archer Artificer and yeah it makes the dragon fights way easier  . This class/specialization combo and mage/rift are my absolute favorites in this game.
