Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

And I think you can visit people in the circle, because I believe Leandra mentions she visited Bethany at some point. Maybe she can do that because she's nobility though, and someone bent the rules for her.
maybe she bent herself over for someone :winky:
I need more buckets of lime! There's not enough!

It's your (PC's) mom, dude!
Re: mages, I suspect that the families of mages who were brought to the Circle as adults can visit. Also, even at that early juncture Hawke was making friends in the Templars, especially Cullen, who is second in command to Meredith. But that's just the Kirkwall Circle, which is especially strict. Mages from other Circles are allowed to not only leave the Circle tower, but live elsewhere and have families. An example of this is Wilhelm, from whose home in Honnleath you acquire Shale in Origins.
Those mages are given special permission to leave and they generally need to have good reasons for it. Most mages live most of their lives inside their towers.
so what are you saying?
my mom isn't entitled to a good banging?
you sir, are what's wrong with today's society!
Also, that one senior enchanter in the mage origin had his family visit
Though I'm not saying it's a big deal or anything.
Then they could have a single default female love interest for guys, and she would have Aveline's face, Bethany's hands, and Carth Onasi's voice actor.
I bet no one would complain about the romanceable females in DA2 after that.
Naw, but it's funny.
You only say that because you're gay and gay men have nothing to complain about in DA2.
You have Fenris, who's dark and brooding and moody and gets angry and snaps at you all the time. And then you have Anders, who's charmless, needy, and obsessive.
Who wouldn't want them?
Well obviously Fenris and Anders overwhelmingly satisfy the entire breadth and depth of male-male relationships, but have you considered that we can't be happy unless everyone else is unhappy?
Well, it is Anders.
If they made the male love interests awesome, then people would be less weirded out when they got hit on. They might not exactly like it, but there's a big difference between some creepy neckbeard hitting on you and hinting unsubtly that he is looking for a new place to move into, and oh, I don't know, lets say John Barrowman (feel free to insert whatever attractive gay man who is well outside the league of 99.9999% of the gamers in existence who makes my analogy work best for you) hitting on you.
Sure, someone will be offended anyway. But they'll be less offended, even if they can't admit it to themselves.
I go to the Gallows and I simply can't enter Meredith's compound, and there's no active quest marker or anything like that.
Not to mention Merrill and Anders's quests getting all buggy and out of order and never really resolving, but whatever.
Is there some workaround that will allow me to finish this game?
I did get the Merrill 3rd Act bug this time, and I noticed this is the only time in the end of Act 2
So I'm starting to wonder if the two are related, somehow
He wasn't that bad once you were, uh, halfway through his romance.
No, I've had her bug in Act 3 without losing that character.
I've personally encountered exactly one significant bug, on 360, and that's a quest that doesn't work (Who Needs Rescuing? in Act 3). Other than that, and those mixed up cinematics, I've had no problems. The constantly reused assets is annoying, and there's a lack of depth I dislike (fewer side quests, less interaction with companions, gaps in time I'd like filled), but I imagine a lot of that will be remedied by DLC. Overall, I love the game and think that Bioware managed the EA-directed truncated dev time the best they could. I'd describe their strategy as have chosen to make a Bioware-quality 30-35 hour game rather than a mediocre 50-60 hour game.
I miss Anders from Awakenings. I get why, from a character development standpoint, he changed so much. But still, I miss funny Anders.
Somehow or another quest markers just stopped showing up.
So Merrill and Meredith's quests were working, I just had to look up where to talk in order to trigger them.
I'm a bit disappointed in Anders only because at first I got a bit of a
That didn't last.
That's what Merrill's for.
Speaking of Merrill.
Her whole tribe was pretty stupid.
act 3 spoilers
jesus christ
is there like, a treasure trove hidden in it or what?
Yeah, I was pretty pissed about that, but:
Wow, I never even saw the nathaniel quest in my last run. I'll try and pick it up in my new snarky archer play.
Anders from Awakening wasn't gay, though. He only hit on your female party members. So they figured that while they were making him gay and already offending the homophobes in their audience, they might as well go whole hog and offend everyone else. It wasn't character development. They were consciously destroying everything you loved about Anders.
