If it makes you feel any better, he made the tag for his rear end in a top hat run, which started out mostly about tormenting Solas (Weekes wrote him). But then it became about butt sex with Iron Bull. Bioware's writers got levels! e: Before I forget, this is apparently the last week for Dragon Age: Keep beta signups. (Was that posted earlier?) Makes me think that the beta is going to wrap up before too much longer, so I guess we can expect a release soon. Considering "soon" is October, that would make sense. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 17, 2014 |

It does seem odd about our lack of keep beta testers, if the sample group was anyone who signed up. However I guess large groups were disqualified from the start? Like anyone in the EU for example.

There's a private "Lobby" forum you can access (though not right now, as the Keep page that allows you to get to it appears to be under maintenance) that'll give you an idea of how long you'll have to wait; going from memory I think it says... 2 business days since you signed the NDA? Pretty sure. I myself got mine on Tuesday, and I'm still waiting, however.

Also the 3rd and final part of the Skyhold series is up on the Bioware website.quote:[CL]: Exactly. When you sit on your throne in Skyhold, your advisors will bring a prisoner to you for judgment. Your advisor will read the charges and provide additional information before you have a chance to question the prisoner yourself. Then you'll be asked to decide their fate. Your choices won't be black and white, but shades in between. Set them free, recruit them into the Inquisition, execute them yourself, make them your court jester, or even make them Tranquil are just some examples of the sentences you can pass in a judgment. Sounds like this will be one of the ways you piss off companions if you want to alienate everyone.

Non-standard game overs aren't really great solutions, since it's just one step up from saying "Why didn't the heroes do [reasonable thing that avoids the central conflict]? Because then there wouldn't be a story!". Few players get a non-standard game over and decide that that's their ending, it just means having to go back to wherever you made the wrong choice and make the other choice this time. Ideally you write a story where all reasonable desires and choices the player might make are accommodated and explained, and save the non-standard game overs for jokes, easter eggs and outlandish things. In the case of going after Loghain immediately, it's a failing of the game if it didn't make it clear enough that you couldn't just waltz over to Denerim and top him since you still needed to prepare Fereldan for the Blight and that meant building up alliances in order to supplant him. Adding an option to try and having it cause a game over would be a frustrating way to learn that that's what you're supposed to think and just end up forcing the player to back-track and take a different option.

Alternatively they could have sequenced it in a way that you kill Loghain, everything gets hosed up in Denerim from the ensuing chaos and you have to get the help of Eamon/your other allies to unite Ferelden against the blight. Of course this would require effort from Bioware's part because the final act would play out completely differently. Deltasquid fucked around with this message at 12:18 on Sep 20, 2014 |

Ultimately it's a question of resources on Bioware's part, even if in-setting killing Loghain early is possible. Which I'm not sure it is - I think it's a perfectly reasonable response from Bioware to say "No, Loghain would chop you into cat food at that level. Two fledgling Grey Wardens, a witch, a dog, and optionally a junior bard and qunari aren't going to be able to kill one of Ferelden's greatest war heroes right after Ostagar."

It's not a reasonable thing at all though. Loghain was/is one of the strongest warriors in Ferelden, and was surrounded by the elite of the elite after the kings death. The nobility believed what he said about the Grey Wardens because he was technically the only survivor. He had the trust, loyalty, and power he needed to run the country. If you could sneak in to Denerim ( difficult, it was so locked up you couldn't get into it for several months after Ostagar even to just wander around the streets ), sneak into the Palace ( this is getting silly now ), sneak into his chambers/area of the palace ( again, lockdown is in place specifically to deal with "assassins". ), you'd still have to actually kill him. At this point in the game, your Warden runs the gauntlet of "Has never been in a city before" to "Woke up every morning to servants.". They maybe killed their first anything at Ostagar, and their first humans at Lothering. Alistair, Morrigan, and even Sten are not much better. Leliana could maybe pull it off, but she implied in the past she had a crew backing her up for her assassinations, and your party isn't that. You aren't surviving a frontal assault on the Palace either, which would have been Sten/Morrigan's plan. And this isn't even taking into account the consequences. Killing Loghain would have martyred him to the populace/nobility. His warnings about the Grey Wardens would have become real, and there would be no support for your war effort. Howe and his backers would take over, grow significantly, and nothing you did would change people's minds. The reason you "beat" Loghain when you do isn't because you stab him to death. It's because by that point in the game his argument of Warden traitors falls flat, as you've basically been army building/politicing specifically to fight the Darkspawn army again, and have noble friends. Eamon has a lot of sway, but not enough to force the nobility in Denerim to back double traitors. Hell with all the proof you had nothing to do with Ostagar, half the nobles still support Loghain just because they like the guy enough/gently caress Grey Wardens. I mean gently caress that's all the proof you really need. Even with everything you do up to the Landsmeet, even with Eamon saying you are the real deal, even with all the proof you uncover that Loghain is a lying dick, you'd still lose the Landsmeet without convincing several nobles in person that Loghain is a traitor. You would not be able to convince anyone of anything if Loghain mysteriously disappeared after Ostagar/Wardens were seen in Denerim around the same time, which means in this wonderful alternate reality you created, Howe made things 10 times worse from Denerim to the Landsmeet, and then you have to stab him to death too because none of the nobility will back you. And then the nobility just calls you out for subverting the political process and you still have a lovely half army.

Clearly you've never played the game if you don't think two mages could make mincemeat out of any warrior\group of warriors no matter how high leveled.  Loghain would be like 'do you know who I am boy?!?!?!?' and then he would be instantly stunlocked forever as morrigan and mage-warden take turns freezing him over and over.
