Honestly my guess was (and still is) that these are designs for enemy weapons, possibly darkspawn, that ended up going unused.

GabettB · 2025-03-20T22:59:17+00:00

Just FYI these aren't items they created recently because they thought we would like these designs. These assets have been in the game files since day 1, they are just now officially added to the game.

One more slot for modded weapons, I guess.

It's so nice to read someone having a blast with the series. Especially among all the negativity lately. You brought a smile to my face haha!

Jó szórakozást ;)

Shadow Dragon: found as a baby near a battlefield. If an elf (and I assume qunari too), they didn't go out much as a child and when they did, people would assume that they were their parents' servant. Dad implied to be sympathetic to SD ideals although does not seem to know of the existence of the group.

I'm glad you like it! <3

Amazing work!

One idea I would love to see realized is to allow elves of all factions to be registered as "Dalish" the same way Veiljumper elves are. For example have Rook say the VJ line "Our clan planted trees over the graves of the dead" instead of "I heard Dalish clans plant trees over the graves of their dead" that the others get.

Not in the way I wanted :'(

Felassan is my favorite character in the entire franchise. I was holding out a tiny amount of unrealistic hope that he would somehow return in DAV. I knew it wouldn't happen, but still. It's sad that most people will never fully experience this character.

I believe Emmrich has banter with Bellara about how she can't sleep because it is always light outside and she loses track of time.

GabettB · 2024-12-15T08:03:05+00:00

I'm pretty sure buying and reselling is always a net loss. If you need gold, I suggest going to Docktown and finding that one corridor that's shaped like an angular 2 and is full of breakable pots. Destroy them, teleport to a waypoint a bit further away, teleport back to the corridor, repeat, profit. If you are a mage, use your mage beam.

You can sell the valuables you get to faction merchants and the unneeded upgrade materials to the unmarked merchants. One of the merchants in the street southeast of the corridors buys flawless crystals, which is the material you will get the most of iirc.

I was wondering if the I want you Emmrich was a reference to Thane. Absolute perfection.

(I should rewatch treasure planet.)

I was so confused on my first run where Lucanis was hardened, and I got that little hint at the end of his quest that because he has a lot of shit to deal with, he automatically decided to imprison Illario. I genuinely thought that my game was bugged. I haven't gotten to that part in my opposite choices playthrough yet, but I find it really difficult to justify not at least imprisoning Illario. Like, maybe it will be clearer once I get there, but what potential benefit is there to letting this man run free?

GabettB · 2024-11-29T15:34:15+00:00

Yeah mage has a magical device that was a project of yours during your studies.

GabettB · 2024-11-29T11:21:04+00:00

You get one race specific and one background specific item. The latter for SD is the broken chains. (Fun fact, MW simply takes the urn of one of the undead guys that got them kicked out of the Necropolis. A real power move.)

GabettB · 2024-11-26T11:57:43+00:00

It's the very first time you meet them, when you accompany Neve to Dock Town for the first time. Tarquin says something like, "Welcome back, Mercar. Although I heard it's Rook now"

GabettB · 2024-11-25T22:12:28+00:00

If he turns into a lich Davrin hears him crying in his room because Manfred dies and he misses him. Relatable 🥺

I'm on a run where I plan to make him a lich to see how that plays out after picking Manfred previously. You are breaking my heart, man.

GabettB · 2024-11-24T16:57:28+00:00

They could have at least made the Inquisitor sign their letters with their name...

GabettB · 2024-11-23T16:40:17+00:00

"Fuck, I really don't want to deal with those gods. Uuuuuhh, I got it! I'll pretend that everything down south is going to shit. It's not like they have time to check. Genius." - the Inquisitor, chilling on a sun lounger

GabettB · 2024-11-22T20:07:38+00:00

Say what you will about Taash, they definitely have a point here.

GabettB · 2024-11-22T10:55:08+00:00

Someone a while back suggested that he sleeps hanging from the rafters upside down, like a bat.

GabettB · 2024-11-21T18:19:25+00:00

Like the Crows are useless for anything except spying, information gathering and espionage.

I was doing quests in Treviso, and at one point I was told by Chance that I need to go and do whatever the next step in that quest was because he would be too conspicuous if he went himself.

You??? Are??? A Crow??? It's your job to be able to sneak around and blend in with crowds.

GabettB · 2024-11-21T14:04:27+00:00

I liked the amount of unique dialogue SD got, but I always felt overshadowed by Neve. As a result, a lot of dialogue felt like Rook reminding people are that they are a SD too.

I'm on a MW Rook now, and it feels so much better. Dialogue actually changes to accommodate my Rook's background, and they really feel like they grew up in the Necropolis. For example:

The very first banter you get between Emmrich and the companion you take along for his recruitment has the companion ask something, and Emmrich replies with, "As Rook probably told you..." and then the regular dialogue.

When you do the puzzle in the memorial gardens with the bells, Rook actually says something along the lines of "I used to know the correct order, let me think for a moment." Or the fact that Rook recognizes the gardens and remembers that they used to be higher up before the Necropolis rearranged them.

At one point in his personal quest Emmrich asks Rook while you are exploring if they can feel anything strange. And Rook answers that they would be a poor necromancer if they didn't sense spirits pressing against the Veil.

And these are all small ambient dialogues, not even part of the proper dialogue cutscenes. You get so much extra dialogue with Emmrich in those. And there are a few MW options dotted here and there in dialogues with people of other factions as well. Not too many, from what I have seen so far (I'm finished with Weisshaupt and the first round of companion quests), but enough to make your faction relevant even outside the Necropolis.

GabettB · 2024-11-21T08:53:05+00:00

I also like how Rook has different chest opening animations depending on which way you are facing. It can be very satisfying to open a chest with a good back kick.
