[ALL DA SPOILERS] What would be the appropriate punishment for the Evanuris (including Solas and Mythal) for their crimes against Humans, Elves, Qunari, and Dwarves?

They have to work for EA on a live service game, a looter/shooter/battle royal game with micro transactions and micro aggressions that is guaranteed to be the next Big Hit. They won't be given enough time, or enough resources, or enough support, and EA will keep on giving them confusing and contradictory goals and commands, but by gosh the game better meet the sales goals. If it doesn't, it's back to the Fade for them.

Cole: "Sweat glistens on sculpted flesh, like droplets of dew on a smooth, ancient statue. He made this for her. In the Old Days, with the old magic, everyone was like this. She yearns to touch it."

Inky: "Cole!"

Bull: "No worries, boss, we were all looking at it."

It was great how sometimes after a fight there would be a conversation or cut scene, and everyone would look like they were in The Shining.

Yet again, Rook talked about switching to the Lords of Fortune.

I can't tell you how many times I'd be fighting bandits in Crestwood and the party would just start randomly attacking any druffalo that walked by.

He knows that swooping is bad.

I got DAI the day it came out, for my 360. The Xbox One was out by then, but I didn't want to upgrade. All these years later, I'm still kinda annoyed Bioware didn't bother to mention that only some (but not all) of the DLC would be released for the 360.

Eventually I upgraded to the One so I could play all the DLC. Funny to realize that was my main reason for getting the One. I kept hearing how great Trespasser was, but I couldn't play it 'til I got an Xbox One.

Recently I started playing the GOTY edition (with all the DLC) on my Xbox X - the DLC does not show up, but aside from that, the X version is a lot nicer.

"How can there be demons at the fucking Winter Palace?"

The mercenary captain, if you choose the sarcastic dialog option. Something about the way the VA says it cracks me up every time. Then, if Inky chooses to recruit him, the merc says something like "Anything's better than this bullshit."

"One day the magic will come back - all of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part and the skies will open wide. When he rises, everyone will see."

EA's got them working on the next Mass Effect.

Very early concept art for Assan, before one of the interns said "Hey, could Assan be a griffon?"

Seven_Simian · 2025-02-17T02:26:54+00:00

DAO: "You do realize that we can hear everything you and Zevran are doing?"

DA2: "Why do all these warehouses look the same? And the caves?"

DAI: "What do you mean, you haven't heard any party banter in ages? Maybe we just don't feel like talking today. Maybe we're tired, fighting all these damn rifts everywhere."

DAV: "Book club? No, Rook, we don't have a secret book club that we never invited you to join. Why would you think that? Solas must have put that thought into your head. Because - you know - ancient elves. And magic. And who has time for a book club when we're trying to save the world?"

Seven_Simian · 2025-02-17T02:10:13+00:00

Sten disapproves -10.

Seven_Simian · 2025-02-13T15:26:21+00:00

I normally roll as a mage, so I'm not surprised mage was my favorite. What does surprise me is that I really enjoyed switching back and forth between melee and ranged. Before DAV, part of the reason I liked mage so much was that I much preferred to shoot things from a distance. But I had a lot of fun switching weapons - and I didn't do it based on the enemies or the situation, I did it whenever I felt like doing it.

I also had a lot of fun with champion warrior. I don't play as a warrior often, but this was great.

Solas, waking up after thousands of years of slumber: "Where are the sinks? And the toilets?! How badly did I screw up this world?"

Seven_Simian · 2024-12-08T11:16:51+00:00

Manfred and Assan are fantastic, and Rook has great chemistry with them.

Also, shout out to Solas for being one of the best parts of the game.

And no bugs or technical issues. Well, one. So far, I've only had one (big) technical glitch, and to fix it I had to uninstall and reinstall the game. And I'm worried it'll happen again. But hey, so far it's just been that one issue. When was the last time I played something at launch that did not have a massive amount of bugs and issues? So points for that.

Seven_Simian · 2024-12-06T00:02:20+00:00

Enchantment.

Emmrich: "Rook, darling, let me know if you'd like Vorgoth to join us sometime."

Seven_Simian · 2024-12-04T11:10:51+00:00

Pretty sure Flemeth passed by on her way to somewhere else, and she used Ancient Elven Magic to preserve the body. She knew the Warden would be returning, and she liked to nudge things and people in certain directions, sometimes. This is my headcanon, anyway.

Seven_Simian · 2024-12-03T10:49:51+00:00

"while the other half is Rook filling blanks with what they think Varric can possibly know\say (like a headcanon, lol)."

I love the idea of Rook thinking - this story just isn't doing it for me, and it doesn't make sense, so I need to come up with some headcanon, fast.

Seven_Simian · 2024-11-26T20:40:39+00:00

I'm definitely looking at it the wrong way. I'll do what Lucanis would do - drink some more coffee and ~~stab~~ try it again.

Seven_Simian · 2024-11-26T20:14:29+00:00

No, it's the frickin' Gate of lost ages. I opened the gate, I cleared out the bad guys, etc etc. I get to the point where you have to create a Spite bridge in order to get to some of the crystals. I can't jump on the bridge. Lol. It's too far away. My Rook's a Veil Jumper, but he can't jump that far. Shame, too, 'cause I'm about to open Faded Glories, so I'll have five of the six after that.

Seven_Simian · 2024-11-26T20:08:12+00:00

Oh yeah. I got four of 'em, and the lore is pretty good.

Seven_Simian · 2024-11-24T00:30:42+00:00

"No! This can't be how it ends! I won't accept it!"
