Barret the ninja? or another Luke? Lol - something really weird's going on with that quote date. I took me a couple of minutes to realize you weren't quoting something I said a year & a half ago... But that would be a different Luke (also different city).

I seemed to have lost my copy of the DA Tabletop Core Rulebook, if I ever had it, so was going to order another one. And then I saw this suggested: New DA Table Top Book and thought I'd share it with you guys because I hadn't seen it mentioned at all on twitter or elsewhere about new Dragon Age Lore Releases. The Core Rulebook actually mentions a lot of lore tidbits that didn't make it into WOT or elsewhere and even includes suggested TT Game Plotlines. So in a way, a set of mini stories set in Thedas with the goal of you roleplaying through them. I don't know how the new book will play into that (I do wonder if we won't learn a suggested game of a quest with one of these major characters that we didn't see in game.) Just a thought.

what's a powerpoint deck? o.o PowerPoint being the Microsoft Office software that let's you easily build slideshow-like presentations. I believe they're called decks because each slide can be called a card (also deck is shorter than presentation or slideshow)

Go to imgur.com/vidgif and paste the link the field. It will auto-import it. 3. Set your start & end points. 4. Create the gif. 5. Click "Get shared links" and select "BBCode (Forums)". 6. Paste, but remove the tags to reduce the size. i.imgur.com/FkcHqbR.gif

Patrick Weekes Retweeted Sparkie McFancyPants @sparkpants Eternal problem in any games with relationship meters. But don't forget the "make my characters rival me!" all that back and forthing in DA2 makes a metagamer out of me hardcore.

Part of me hopes they'll get rid of visible approval entirely. You just have to live with your terrible decisions, and you only find out your LI hates your guts when you go to talk to them.

My anxiety is bad enough! I already see myself, having 20+ saves so I can go back and fix it. Or just wait for the walkthroughs to be out.

Kinda like Jade Empire? I was pleasantly surprised I got a LI there at all since I spent every opportunity buttering up Sagacius Zu (you might know how that turns out) and being 'meh' towards Sky.

This is why I want the friendship/rivalry system back. I can say what I want to say, and still get to enjoy time with a character.

No idea, never played JE. This is why I want the friendship/rivalry system back. I can say what I want to say, and still get to enjoy time with a character. I liked the F/R system too, but I gotta disagree that you could say whatever you wanted. I had to metagame like CRAZY to make sure people didn't end up neutral and I'd have to kill them at the end of the game. You're snarky and fun but you like to help little old ladies cross the street (without asking for coin!!)? Bye Isabela! You support mages but also like killing slavers? RIP Fenris. It was... a delicate balance lolol.

Well, sure, but I have to metagame anyway. You think I remember every stupid thing you have to say to Morrigan so she doesn't disapprove of EVERYTHING? Or, god help me, Sten? Also I think Dragon Age 2 has a mechanic were once you get someone past a certain threshold of friendship/rivalry points, they will only get those points. For example, if Fenris is at 50% rivalry, even if you do something he likes, you will still get rivalry points. I kind of think of it less as how much they like you, and more of how much they respect you.

It's Alistair and Leliana and Wynne I have to watch out for. And yeah, once you pass a certain threshold, friendship/rivalry is soft-locked (but not for every decision, I think). But I always have the wiki open because it can be hard to get to that point (see: Fenris on slavers/mages). I think they still don't have a "perfect" approval system yet... we'll see what awaits us in the next game.

I had the wiki open whenever I talked to Zevran, making sure I'd get approval, but NOT flirting with him while I was romancing Morrigan. So my poor Warden goes to his girlfriend and she's all "How dare you, cheating on me with the elf!" and I sat there like Then I had to break up a non-existing romance because Zevran liked me too much.
