Is there a thread like this? Not sure... Sometimes I want to mention something real small and not at all thread worthy, so I thought I'd make a thread to encompass all of the little thoughts we have whilst playing the game. I'm playing right now, and some thoughts come to mind from this playthrough so far. - I want to wear a big pouffy Orlesian dress, not this suit. - Huh, I quite like Exalted Plains, wasn't that bad. Pretty good actually. - I'm loving how tall my female human Quizzy is, she's supermodel ready with that height. She's a bit lanky and it's great. - Why did they make Leliana's hair like that?? Don't like it. - Celene's sunburst wing thingys are SO COOL. I wanna cosplay the crap outta that See, boring and not worth a conversation. No doubt you think the same things sometimes, so put them here maybe?

Out of all the companions you can recruit three lie about who they really are, and you discover it through the game Iron Bull not being a Tal Vashoth, he tells you right away when you meet him Blackwall not being Blackwall, you discover it halfway through the game Solas being Fen'Harel, the player discovers it in the Epilogue, the Inquisitor at the end of Trespasser ...just thinking out loud

- The fact that Solas is already lying to the Herald before they're formally introduced.
After sealing the first fade rift...
Herald: What did you do?
Solas: I did nothing. The credit is yours.
- Oh, and Solas "volunteered" to help the Inquisition? I don't think so. He simply played puppet master, so he can fix his so called mistakes.
- "The Dawn Will Come" and journey to Skyhold scenes. Take note of Solas' facial expressions. He goes from being neutral to devious. It's as if he's thinking, "Perhaps they're useful after all.."
- During WEWH, Celene, Briala and Gaspard were stupid enough to outdo each other in their own game. They didn't know Florianne took advantage of that the whole time.
A few notable things.

First time I played I thought he was thinking 'oh dear god they're singing now? Are you freaking kidding me? LAME' Second time I'm like 'Bwah-ha-ha-hah I can make use of this'

During judgement, a Mage Inquisitor can sentence an enemy Mage to the rite of tranquility. Why can't a Templar Inquisitor have that option as well? It's something I'm thinking about while playing as a Templar Inquisitor currently.

DA2... but...
Worst job in Thedas? Kirkwall street cleaner.
Also, i love how touchy Iron Bull gets when discussing the Qunari, it hit home to me that while he is pretty cool and everything, at that point, he was still Qunari.
Why does Florianne still have her mask on when you judge her? Is it stuck to her face?

Last run I let Empress Celene be assassinated. Then Bull walks out, the music is playing, and we go dance. Oh so everyone's okay with the brutal murder of their beloved Monarch that just happened 20 minutes ago?? Ooookay then. I'll just step over the blood pool on my way to the canapes.

It would be cool to see Cassandra using Seeker abilities as her gameplay specialization instead of a Templar's. But I get that being a Seeker, she can use Templar abilities without taking lyrium.

Just had a thought (literally): I was just marveling at the incredulity of Cullen's romance scene. I mean the scene, like all things in DA, likes to seemingly mess with time so Cullen acts like if they were out for a morning stroll. But they were somewhere in southern Ferelden. So he had to take her, get on horseback, run several days if not weeks, only to get there and probably have that cutscene and just turn around. All of this meanwhile when there is a war going on and Cullen is known for his singleminded adherence to duty and the Inquisition.

Why do all the Orlesians wear masks in Haven and Skyhold? This is not the Orlesian Court. I like to see the faces of people. My home, my rules.
Why do Orlesian Chevaliers wear masks in battle? Most impracticable. How do you know it is not one of the enemy posing as your leader? On same subject, according to Masked Empire soldiers in the palace should not be wearing masks. The rule is meant to be, palace soldier no mask but can carry a sword, anyone else wears a mask but can not carry a sword.
Actually, how come are we allowed to have our weapons in the palace grounds? We are guests attending a ball. If Celene thinks we are entitled to carry weapons then surely she acknowledges the threat to her life is genuine?
Why do we need Orlesian nobles to support us when we go to Therinfall? It is deep in Ferelden territory. Surely it would be more appropriate to have Ferelden nobility? On similar subject, where are all the Ferelden nobility? Conspicuous by their absence. There are references to them on the War Table but hardly ever encountered in game. We see castles in the background but they seem to be ignoring the plight of the Freeholders. Suggest to the common people they give their allegiance elsewhere in the future.
Why did Ser Barris simply stand there and let a defenceless cleric be punched in the face and raise no objection whatsoever? Military Order be damned, Templars are meant to be pious individuals to a fault. That seems to fly in the face of the teaching of their faith, when Templars are meant to be defending the weak and vulnerable.
Why did the monarch of Ferelden give title over Haven to an Orlesian noble? This has to be a recent development since no one even knew Haven existed until ten years ago and in any case, it is still in Ferelden territory.

Cassandra.I really like her but it really feel like the devs wanted you and her to have a friendship. Free mage: Cass disaprove.Haven ..."You made a decision it was hard I approve even if I disapproved." Err...why are you giving me approval points for making a decision I was forced to make?Next what?You're giving me approval for playing the game?!!Thanks!

Why does Vivienne get awesome mage outfits to fight in and the Inquisitor doesn't?!
Elven bodies are just too darn skinny...
I wish for better hairstyles, especially for Qunari!
I hate the harvesting animation!
I'm expected to uncover and preempt an assassination amongst a bunch of wannabe drow nobles and all I can think about is how much I want a pretty dress for the Inquisitor in the Winter palace.
Solas...your head is so shiny...I wanna touch it.
Blackwall...dude, seriously...I've listened to far worse revelations in real life...you're a decent guy.
Bull, you have a tiny head. I like listening to you talk about people.
Cole, I want to wash your hair.
Josephine, your sleeves are so poofy I want to jab it with a pin to see if they'll pop.
Cullen's considered to be handsome? I thought he was kinda average looking. Ah well, it's not like you're not a catch.
Dorian, your moustache is glorious, but I want to put a sleeve on your bare arm every time we go to Emprise du Lion.
Sera, please choose less potentially lethal pranks like beehives. I will help you build a stinkbomb instead to replace it.
Vivienne's got feline features...that's awesome.
Varric...does it get obnoxious sitting in chairs meant for taller people? Or are the chairs shorter to begin with to accomodate dwarves?
I like your accent, Cassandra, but not your pants. They look like a mismatched quilt and I want to replace them with a more symmetrical looking pair.
Leliana's outfit looks neat, but very uncomfortable.
Why am I so bothered by aesthetics?
Wow, look at that dragon, I wanna go up and poke it (I actually won that fight with the Sandy Howler despite not intending to do anything more than walk up to it)
And that's what goes on in my head!

Err...why are you giving me approval points for making a decision I was forced to make?Next what?You're giving me approval for playing the game?!!Thanks! That made me laugh for some reason! Cassandra is a person who's going through a lot of doubt at the time so she's not quite trusting her own judgement because she's concerned about the impact her actions will have. She appreciates that the Inquisitor is stepping up and doing something even though it's not always what she'd do. It's more that she likes that you are getting results in rallying people to face the problem. I hope that helps.

Leliana's outfit looks neat, but very uncomfortable. They're all great, I laughed at some of them cause I've thought the same thing. Viv looks amazing in her outfits, and Cole definitely needs a shower. I downloaded a mod for the harvesting animation, it's now gone and it's wonderful. I just run past, hit E, and keep on running. Leliana's boots kill me, they're warrior ones for goodness sake. She's a rogue!

Anyone who displeases her gets kicked in an uncomfortable place!

The Skin That Stalks armour is designed for a woman. It's Calpernia's armour after all. If a guy wears it, the variant should've been the male Venatori leather robes with the hood.

- They start singing Dawn Will Come, "Oh, God no, please..oh, look at Mother Giselle. She walks like a little penguin." - WEWH: "Srsly? You guys are leaving this up to me?" - Skyhold: "Why does my garden look pretty much the same no matter how I upgrade? Hey everybody you can get out of the front courtyard now. I built a 'hospital', or well, a medical...place..hmm, okay stay there." "Why can't I have both a medical place and a training yard, I've got the resources?" -"No, Josie, I'm not stopping to talk you this time. I don't see you. I don't see you..don't judge me. And yeah, we're totally just gonna kill those guys." - Oh, look everybody has a Sneery McSneer face. Rawrz, etc. - "I know Haven meant alot to you.." "..Uh, well..actually... - Can I get on one of these boats at Redcliffe and just sail away?

- Fiona should have brown eyes, not greenish. - Divine Justinia was supposed to be a young woman (I remember this was so in Asunder) but in the game she is at least 80 years old!

There's a room for the bottles in Skyhold?? How did I not know that? Yeah, they're down in the basement somewhere, iirc. Off to the side. Next to the cobwebs. Do those do anything? Just out of curiosity. Like the little party Varric throws, do the bottles impact that at all, or something? Because otherwise, I would have liked to have showcased them somewhere more accessible and visible for all to appreciate.

All that trouble to have a search function on them and no prize beyond collecting digital alcohol. Frak! Stop that pinging! No! I don't care who put their mouth on you! I just want to find more prophet laurel!

I'm not aware of there being any use to them. What irritates me is that I would happily ignore them, but the search glowing dingy thing on the map could mean other things as well. So I may as well do it, only to find it's a blinkin bottle I never even wanted.

Does Dorian appreciate my efforts in collecting so many different alcohol samples on his behalf? Are Dorian, Iron Bull and Varric holding secret drinking parties without inviting me? Hawke was never invited to Wicked Grace in DA2 but the Inquisitor is. May be you have to graduate from Wicked Grace to drinking games.
Why does the female Keeper outfit look so different to the male? Is it to impress Solas? Well that was an epic fail.
Why are ancient elves bald? Why do modern elves have hair? If we survive Solas dropping the Veil, will all our hair fall out?
Why didn't Dorian get to do his dance of the ten silk scarves at the end of the ball? That would have been worth putting up with all those Orlesians.
Is Dorian going to be able to introduce us to the "hundred ways to shame your ancestors" when we get to Minrathous?
When is Josephine going to get that bath delivered that I requested?
