Leelee posted:I don't see how you *can* be a Qunari mage in this game- I mean, they cut off your horns and sew your mouth shut? Unless we learn more about some kind of mage underground in Par Vollen, I don't think this will be a class available to the qunari, unless they've already stated otherwise. Perhaps a second-generation tal vashoth?

Dr. Abysmal posted:I used Origin for ME3 and have no desire to use it again unless there's a game I really want to play that is exclusive to it (and as of now, Inquisition is not on that list). I haven't used it in about 6 months but back then it was pretty buggy and lost connection a lot. I also got locked out of the multiplayer because of an "invalid online pass" issue - the PC version of the game didn't even use online passes - and it took ages to get a service rep who actually understood what the problem was. Once I was finally issued a new Origin product key I had to go through the same song and dance since that broke my preorder DLC. This is pretty much my exact origin experience, although I am hesitantly hopeful about DA:I. Not loving pre-ordering it though.

pentyne posted:Yeah, the curse of being a Warden is never mentioned past the first few minutes of DA:O. You get 20 years from the ritual at most, have to abandon all remnants of your life and follow the Wardens, and once you reach the 20 year mark you just head into the deep roads to fight darkspawn until death. Unless you're a female grey warden, then you just have to hope you die fighting the darkspawn.

Lotish posted:I haven't played the DLCs for these games, but have we ever met a Warden on the verge of his or her calling? It would be interesting to have to play with a character for a while, knowing that inevitably they are about to go into the deep roads and either die fighting or join the enemy. There could even be a timer in the game where if you haven't finished the adventure by such and such in-game month, the Warden is called to the Deep Roads and cannot be stopped; do you let them go or kill them yourself? If you want to see how that character responds to the end game and the like, you need to beat the game quickly. Duncan was very close to his calling, but since he gets his head caved in by a darkspawn at Ostagar nothing really comes of it.

DrakePegasus posted:According to the bigass lore book, homosexuality is actually pretty well-accepted, if typically not talked about. The exact extent to said tolerance varies region to region. In Tevinter it's actively encouraged to the slaves by their owners, to keep their scarcity value. On second thought, let's not go to Tevinter. It is a silly place.

Torrannor posted:Although I knew by then how the game ends, I felt much less uncomfortable with romancing Anders than romancing Merrill. I had that creepy feeling that I should be locked up for seducing a child. Rivalry-romance Anders, that arc plays out much better than the friendship-romance. I was bored and started another DA2 run and I have to say that with the addition of the DLC missions it's grown on me. Act 3 still feels really bare, but I quite enjoyed legacy and mark of the assassin was a fun romp. Plus playing a destruction/force/blood mage is hilarious, gravitic ring, then fire, lightning, fist of the maker and haemorrhage does silly damage.

KittyEmpress posted:I think the closest it does to justifying and conveying the danger is with Flemeth in the first game - an abomination (maybe?) who has learned to shapeshift into forms that make her as formidable as creatures known to destroy nations on their own. Plus a large proportion of the mages we see turning into abominations do so because it is that or certain death/mindwiping.

Torrannor posted:And you can be a blood mage all day long without anything bad ever happening. Even Merrill never did anything too horrible, the whole thing with the keeper and the pride demon could be construed as being the keeper's fault. If you go to the top of sundermount during act 2, the magical barrier is gone and there's a cart blocking the cave entrance instead. I wonder just how long the keeper was under the influence of the pride demon?
