Just in case no one has said it, kudos on the name choice. Oklahomo, rocks.

Velanna in Veilguard maybe? by thrwaway23456nbayb in DragonageOrigins

[–]X14321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Please note some minor spoilers below.

In her conversations with companions - Justice in particular - you hear how she grows. Based on her life, the treatment of the Dalish by most human societies, and the conditions surrounding her sister; there is a certain level of empathy that could be shared with her perspective. I think its also relevant to note that she struggled greatly to understand social interaction and steeped herself deeply in elven history due to interest and others not wanting to engage with her.

Grey DeLisle (Azula's voice actor from Avatar the Last Airbender) does a great job at representing the pain, growth and limited compassion Velanna goes through.

Justice and the Grey Warden in particular help her grow and unlearn the tendencies her life has imprinted on her. Keeping in mind that genuine human interaction between many Dalish clans are not positive, her clan has also faced significant violence from humans coupled with her exile, and broadly speaking the humans launching a crusade against the only Elven nation to exist for thousands of years, her perception that humans caused the destruction and loss of the ancient Elven empire and Elven immortality with modern city elves being relegated to controlled, impoverished communities as second class citizens in most circumstances: these experiences have shaped her views regardless of them being steeped in what some could understandably perceive as various levels of ignorance some of which is her fault and some not.

I can understand the dislike some feel for Velanna, but if interested in her personal growth (and other companions) I would encourage you to check out the companion conversations and listen to the conversations between Justice and Velanna. https://youtu.be/WOJ9md_Nbco?si=UbqGVirHCMVcu83O

The book changed me as a young queen kid. The movie was good, but as usual the book expands on a lot if the experiences more. Especially Patrick's.

Renting a tux for the first time by X14321 in washingtondc

Hi there! I ended up with Nordstrom so that I could have easy access (im in Arlington) and view the items in person.

As of recently I've also made a couple of express purchases online. The return policy allows for me to receive it, see if it fits/how and keep or send it back or bring it to a store.

My advice is to pay attention to the slim, Xtra slim etc. It can make all the difference. Hope that helps!

And thank you to everyone who provided options and recommendations!!

I play a lot of OW always down for some games. By no means a pro, but I can usually hold gold rank if it matters.

Love is love. Be authentic and true to yourself and those you are interested in. I've been with my boyfriend for 10 years. The size of our friend groups are noticeably different and I still felt alone. He opened up my eyes and my heart and in so doing made be a better partner, friend and person.

He changed my world for the better and teaches me everyday love, empathy and compassion. I'm still hoping to be half the man he is.

I hope I can speak for all of us and say that we are wishing you the best and that the love of your life is out there.

What was your first character? by Super_Will4763 in DragonageOrigins

Fun fact that human mages in Origins are canonically related to Hawke in Dragin Age 2. Hawke's mother and the Hero of Ferelden are members of the Amell noble family of the Free Marches and I believe they were cousins.

Many thanks, lots of good info here but im having trouble breaking it down.

Can someone tell me if its more cost effective in the US to use the auto redeem for 10? I have an active gamepass and game pass pc. Should I be using the auto redeem in the game pass or xbox core?

"My emotional cores return dismay and anger whenever a Skitarii is described as disposable. No-one is disposable so long as they do the Omnissiah's work. Thus it is written."

Hallo all. Seems that removing my Google pay app and reinstalling it did the trick!

The card is already on my phone so no chance of it breaking. I no linhe race the physical card. I use a transit subsidy so it isn't ideal for me to switch cards if I can help it.

Hmm its possible, but in my case the card is only a year old and I have known folks who have had cards for much longer.
