    Sure looks like every other time in the series we've been in the fade.

    That like rings a little hollow when we've apparently just been finding the shit parts of the fade for three games running now.

    Wasn't the Fade sequence in DA2 set in Kirkwall's Templar headquarters? It was all fuzzy/dreamy and stuff, but it did reflect the local landscape.

    And in DA:I, I think...
    ..the Fade sequence takes place in the personal realm of the giant Nightmare demon...

    ...so yeah, it's extra shitty.

    Vashti Adaar (my inquisitor, reaver extraordinaire, leader of the Josephine fan club, ex-merc who adopts misfits wherever she goes because now she can actually do right by them, and so much more) had a really big day yesterday. It was pretty big for all of Thedas too.

    This was a very cool winding road, and there's more than a strong chance that I'll play the whole series from the start once I finally have a laptop that can run it (rather than continuing my extended use of my housemate's xbox 360), but in my gut I know that Vashti's lived version of this will always be my canon idea of how this time in the DA universe worked out.

    Also:
    Cassandra Pentaghast, best friend and next divine!

    I'm trying to decide whether to keep doing quest cleanup or start my second play through now

    I sort of don't want to finish the game until the Cole and Dorian bugs are fixed, if that's at all possible

  • ZayZay yes i am zay Registered User regular
    I just finished here lies the abyss
    I let the grey wardens join the inquisition. nearly all my friends disapproved of that move. then i turned elrond or whatever into a tranquil which seemed the most fitting punishment, and everyone disapproved of that as well. I AM THE INQUISITOR

    I think soon after the winter palace there is a thing with solas
    he'll say something like "lets go talk someplace else"

    and then you're back in haven and talking with solas about stuff and things and then oh man something is a little weird and solas says "hey we'll talk more when you wake up"

    and the you wake up in your room and go talk to solas again, he explains he took you on a fade tour and how the fade can be a really cool place if you know where to look/how to act

    Check the rocking horse he was making, there'll be a note and then an inquisition agent will run in.

    I honestly dont remember when I got it, it felt like it was really early in the game but I spent so long in the hinterlands before and after skyhold that I really have no idea what happened when anymore

    maybe i got it right then or maybe he didn't like me enough at the time I dunno

    Man what, I never had this happen. I also never got a companion quest with Solas at all

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Well don't worry about not getting the companion quest

    you aren't missing much

  • QuothQuoth the Raven Miami, FL FOR REALRegistered User regular
    Yeah Solas didn't talk to me until What Pride Had Wrought

    Then he liked me enough to care

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Your approval had to be high enough
    I went and spent about 10 minutes with him just taking every investigate option on everything until it triggered

  • QuothQuoth the Raven Miami, FL FOR REALRegistered User regular
    Even talking to him as much as I could, Solas still hated everything I did

    some mages are mad about my judgement

    judgmenty skyhold question
    so whenever I've sat on my Throne and judged a mage, I've never had the option to make the hem tranquil

    What am I missing

    I mean I would never choose that but I want to make sure i could

    Tranquility is not a punishment. It is a last resort against demons. You basically committed a war crime which mimics what started the whole civil war in the first time.

    So yeah they think you're bad.

  • Crimson KingCrimson King Registered User regular
    i haven't gotten any companion quests with blackwall or solas, which is maybe an approval rating thing? i've been a dick to solas but blackwall should be fine

    also you should never punish a mage by making them tranquil as it sets an incredibly dangerous precedent. tranquility is a cure, not a punitive measure

    that did not stop my inquisitor, however

    The arcane knowledge perk? That was one of the first ones I chose. And I've still never had the option of using the big "T".

  • ManishtushuManishtushu Registered User regular
    I had thought that tranquility was a mage-specific option.

    ~i think the whole mage/templar thing is super boring and it keeps me from playing a mage every time~

    i agree hullis the game WOULD be better without templars

    If you want Solas to like you, just ask him questions.

    Dude really likes it when you ask him questions.

    Also try not to talk shit about spirits or the fade in front of him.

    they really built it up in DA2 and DAI

    just, gradually getting more and more details thrown in

    Miss me? Find me on:

    Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
    Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
  • Crimson KingCrimson King Registered User regular
    DA2 did a much better job of convincing you to care about mages and templars then this game does

    also of course solas likes it when you let him fucking ramble on at you about the fade for hours
