... Can one use blood sausage for blood magic? I suppose it would depend on how 'fresh' the sausage was ...I now imagine a completely bonkers scenario where secret Venatori weapons are blood sausages. Some Venatori Dude: "Sir, SIR! I just made a tremendous discovery! Blood from blood sausages is a viable fuel for spellcraft!" Some Venatori Lead: "Commence production!" Cue menacing looking Venatori surrounded by blood sausages whirling in the air or used as missiles (of course that would also put entirely new meaning into the phrase "sausage fest").

Otherwise, yeah, it's bad ass along with the others you mentioned.

I remember the first time going through Trespasser, all I saw, when my Adaar Necro talked to the Viddasala the first time, were her horns and the top part of the Lyrium Infused staff I started crafting Encore staves for everyone because I love ZITHER! and his buffs.

Alexis Kennedy 🕯️ @alexiskennedyPC intervenes in two characters arguing, with options 'A is right' 'B is right' 'Knock it off, you two', and a fourth wild choice. Total RPG cliche Essential RPG technique Neither of the above Both of the above ... Both.(As long as one of those options is "Grab popcorn", I'm fine with this cliche. ) I don't really consider that a cliche, just a gamey method. I think it's an important one. At any rate, I'm for "essential RPG technique." There need to be moments like this where a player can establish their character, how they think and react in certain situations that aren't necessarily a dialogue the player is involved in directly, and this is a technique that allows for that. Let's take the Cole/Dorian banter series about Dorian's father. At one point, Dorian pleads for someone to make Cole stop, and the Inquisitor is thrown the dialogue wheel. The options are to say that Cole is trying to help, to tell Cole to stop, or to tell Dorian to do it himself. This isn't some game-altering choice, just something to show the character of your Inquisitor, their beliefs about such things, and their interaction with Dorian. I always tell Cole to stop. Of course he wants to help. I understand that and Dorian needs to work through these emotions. But I don't feel that making Dorian so distressed about it that all he can think about is getting it to stop is helpful at all in the moment. As can be seen from the next dialogue in the chain, later on when he's had time to think and is calmer, he's able to more fully articulate his feelings. All of this is bound up in my roleplay choice for the dialogue, and it's important that I have such a choice.

Mike Laidlaw @mike_Laidlaw
Spoiler heavy, but I loved this post on Bull's actions in Trespasser. shallow-between-stars.tumblr.com/post/128769818344 … I'm pretty sure it's verbatim what @patrickweekes was thinking when he developed the character, given discussions we had. In addition to @patrickweekes, consider the massive incredible effort @eplerjc put into Bull's scenes, too. So many moments. So intricate. And John also did all the work on the many, many subtle Solas variations at the end of Trespasser. And @hanlsp made the barrels explode and daniel _Kading was relentless in pushing the levels forward and making it all click and and and... Anyway, I like the team I work with a lot. John Epler @eplerjc
Something that I don't discuss a lot - when you do these scenes, you need to try and inhabit those characters for a while. Take the writing, take what you know about the character - and be them. Act it out in a breakout room, or at your desk. Because the only way to get real emotion in those faces, in that animation, is to feel if yourself. At least for me, anyways. It's how I write, too, but there's a challenge in taking someone else's words and trying to inhabit them. It makes it easier when it's @patrickweekes, but it's still a challenge, and coincidentally the best part of my job. Which is maybe a lesson about creativity in general - you need to feel it. Otherwise it's not going to be as authentic. I can't describe it, but I can feel the difference between when I need to be Solas for a while, versus Bull, versus Varric. Which is another good lesson - let people work with the same people for a while, on the same content. It's more genuine. I can do a passable job of cinematics for Sera or Vivienne or Blackwall, but I don't know them the same way. But give me a Solas line? I know his expressions, his mannerisms. I can hear Gareth David-Lloyd. Same with Bull, same with Varric. Anyways. I love my job and the people I work with, and while I'm enjoying vacation I can't wait to get back. And THAT is why I love jepler's work. Especially his Solas stuff. One of my favorite staves as well, though if I remember correctly is blocks a lot of cinematic convo's and can clip like crazy. That one, the Archon staff & the dwarven one (Isana's Song?) are my favorites (clipping be damned!). (But in the end I'll wind up crafting a boring Wrath of Lovias for dat crit damage...) I like the Tyrdda Brightaxe staff best. I forget the exact name at the moment, but the default one for Solas in the "finding Skyhold" scene. This is if we're talking looks, anyway. The staff from the ruins frozen in time in the approach was pretty sweet for its battle effects, if I remember right. So we shouldn't read anything into the fact Mark changed his Twitter background? What was it before???

I don't play self-inserts, but I'm always down for choices that let me portray the PC as awkward or cowardly rather than heroic/confident.
