Do you know what the strongest force in the universe is? Love.
I pieced /dag/ together from memory. I found her memes, her culture, her delicate tumblrinas... And, at last... her lorefags... oh, these beautiful lorefags. I've searched far and wide to find you again, beloved, and no force on this earth will part us.
why can't i stay away from this shit game?
/dag/ I know you don't care, but I just want you to know I love you. Please don't leave me.
>>121649201
Just play other games, DA:I may look and play like an MMO but it isn't one and is not meant to be played nonstop
O Mommy, hear my cry:
Guide me through the blackest threads
Steel my heart against the temptations of the shitposters
Make me to rest in the warmest pages.
O Daddy Gaider, see me kneel:
For I sitting only where You would bid me
Watch only the places You have blessed
Post only the words You place in my reply-window.
>>121649386
You have until christmas to let go

What's arguably the best specialization for archer rogues? I love the gameplay so I'm going to make a human one.

nah they are gonna milk the millenial liberals for all their parent's worth
So I don't know if anyone is in the mood for this shit, but I'm throwing two things out there. First off, Razikale as Geldauran.
>shrines to both in the Frostbacks
> The slaves are gathering materials. We will build a shrine to the Dragon of Mystery—implantfociinto the walls, cut sacred designs into the stone, the better to hear her with. We will hear her voice again, or we will die.
>—Scribbled in blood-red ink on parchment found in the Mouth of Echoes
> Members of one such cult on the western fringes ofOrlais, in the Tirashan forest wore brilliant crimsonvallaslin. Unlike the Dalish, who invoke the names of their gods in battle for aid, they were offering their enemies as a sacrifice.
Take note of the blood red ink used for both.
> The savages speak to their gods in the cave passage. They call it the Mouth of Echoes. They light fires and feed them with green spruce and shout their questions into the deep. They say answers come to them on the last whispered echo. Superstition, we laughed. And nowRazikaleis silent and madness descends. I can only think, what if? What if there are irregularities in the Veilhere?
> The Forgotten Ones had resided in a place known as the "Void," where no mortal nor god could have remained in.They may have greatly resented the Creator gods, and in fact asserted that thereareno "gods" and that the right of dominance over others comes from deeds rather than nature.
Could that be an entryway into the void?
Ellipses ...
>>121665479
And finally
> The script is an ancientelvendialect. Upon further observation, it twists, the words becoming visible:
>There are no gods. There is only the subject and the object, the actor and the acted upon. Those with will to earn dominance over others gain title not by nature but by deed.
>I amGeldauran, and I refuse those who would exert will upon me. LetAndruil's bow crack, letJune's fire grow cold. Let them build temples and lure the faithful with promises. Their pride will consume them, and I, forgotten, will claim power of my own, apart from them until I strike in mastery.
Codex found in the Frostbacks as well in her temple.
It also looks like these guys weren't necessarily malevolent, but made to look like the enemy for refusing to bow.
>>121665479
>>121665819
There's no connection between The Forgotten Ones and the Old Gods. Screencap this.
And the second thing
There was talk about the Profane the other day and I don't remember it very well, but here we have this from the Primeval Thaig
> It seems that the Thaig represents an example of prehistoric dwarven culture, with temples and idols for a pantheon of dwarven deities, rather than the statues ofParagonsfound in all later thaigs. The thaig is overgrown byred lyrium, and alyrium idolis found in it. Over the course of the game it is discovered that this idol summonsspirits, and can be used to cast spells, even by non-mages.
> We who are forgotten, remember,
We clawed at rock until our fingers bled,
We cried out for justice, but were unheard.
Our children wept in hunger,
And so we feasted upon the gods.
Here we wait, in aeons of silence.
We few, weprofane.
> —Found scrawled on a wall in the lost RevannThaigby explorer FarumaHelmi, 5:10Exalted
> According toDragon Age (tabletop RPG), Set 3, Game Master's Guiderock wraiths, also known as the Profane feed only onlyriumveins.
> The lyrium that nourishes a rock wraith gives it a connection to theFade, and makes it susceptible to demonic possession.
> A poem found by aHelmiscrawled on the walls of RevannThaigin theExalted Ageimplies that when trapped or abandoned aeons ago, the profane "feasted upon the gods". This may suggest that the profane were once dwarves who were forced to consumered lyrium(which seems to have had religious significance to the primeval dwarves) to survive, but what is exactly meant is unknown. The word profane literally means "outside the fane [temple]", i.e., contemptuous of a god or religion.
>>121666379
Dwarves being left to die spookiest lore
Being claustrophobic doesn't help
>>121666379
the Primeval Thaig is probably located in the Titan Mythal killed, and I think the design of the lyrium idol helps that theory
They could have made the blood drinking entirely optional.
>>121670864
this cutscene is a lot better when you've stripped them of their gear
>>121670864
But...that's what gives them their powers?
So there's no way to export your DA:O and DA2 save games for a pirate version? After 4 hours of installation shenanigans this make me really angry
yfw you will never walk into your living room in the morning and see Josie drinking teayfw she will never smile when she sees you and ask what you want for her to make for breakfast

>>121672947
I can almost smell her perfume through my monitor
>>121673214
>>121673574
What perfume do you think she wears? Something floral or more earthy/spicy? Maybe something sweet, like vanilla.
>>121671810
I'm assuming you mean for DAI. There should be a save editor somewhere in the OP, it's kind of a hassle to use but it works.
>>121672947you will never play with josie's dolls, the two of you making up funny voices
>>121674041

>>121675330
Do fear or despair demons ever possess people? Seems like it's always rage
>>121676535
I would imagine so, but I assume desire, rage, and pride would have more reasons to possess people.
I won't let you die /dag/ not until I share all my thoughts. To Christmas!

Leliana possibly, though her interest seems to mainly involve shoes.
Bethany, Dorian, MAYBE Vivienne but likely beneath her.

Nobody honestly let Morrigan drink from the Well of Sorrows right? She's literally the white version of Vivenne and would have boasted endlessly.
The jealousy she exudes is fucking hilarious. And fuck Solas too, absolutely useless in the fucking temple, why the fuck did I even bring him? Pissy attitude the whole way through.
>letting a filthy Shem who doesn't even believe in Mythal drink from Mythal's waters of wisdom.
>>121717942
I didn't feel like being a slave so I let her do it
>>121717942
I let Morri drink for two reasons
a) She's my warden's waifu and she can handle the knowledge, and also the next Mythal, so she will be a slave of herself;
b) I personally would not prefer being controlled by weird mages and listen suspicious voices. If you need something historical - ask/catch Solas and learn elven language by yourself, fucking lazy quizz, don't become a slave.
>>121718476
>>121718539
>slave
>not taking it as a blessing
disgusting
>depending on asshat Solas
really?
>>121718689
Eh, nope, thanks. I already removed slave marks and don't want to carry more deep and unremovable slaveburden. It's not a gift, it's a curse, payment. True gift, Mythal soul, goes to Morrigan, which, I hope, will be our ally in the Fen'Harel war.
>>121718689
Blessing how? We've not even seen the effects yet, but it doesn't sound good.
Plus Morrigan being a slave to her mommy is just funnier
>>121719151
I hope on killing all elfshits, so Morrigan will probably have to go.
>>121717942
I drank from it in the name of elven glory. I don't really mind being Mythal's bitch, whether it be Morri or Flemeth.
>>121707696
Did I imply aliens? I was hit by a firework rocket and my neighbour was nice enough to carry me home.
>>121717942
Of course I let her drink. The one usual girly thing about her is that she is an elfaboo and I don't want no elves in my head so giving it to waifu was the easiest decision in the game
Um what do I do with 80000 gold?
>>121721898

>>121695094
This. The companions in Fo4 seem like absolute shit to be honest. I was wondering how they were going to justify dogmeat taking a full companion slot therefor not allowing you to have him and a human. They did it by making the humans all seem like shit.
Alright so I've completing nearly everything on ever map except the rifts (i had nearly 200 power...) dragons a wyvern finding the shards for temple solasan and orzammar ruins and dorians venatori.
Will I lose any of these after I beat the storyline? (I'm not including trespasser).

When romancing a character, do I have to pick the flirt option in conversations often/all the time in order to keep the romance going, or can I occasionally pick what is more in character for my dude to say without having to worry about losing the romance?
>>121742505
you don't have to hit all of them, just keep their approval high and hit an option every now and then, and don't flirt with anyone else.

I honestly don't know what I was expecting. I knew it couldn't be as bad as ME3 since there was no outrage, but I guess that's just because the ending was so underwhelming that you can't even be upset about it, just annoyed.

Yes, it's disappointing. Feels like they just slapped it together.
No sequel, but you should play Trespasser for the "true ending"
>>121748947
Now go play trespasser.
>>121748947
Its a serviceable ending but not a good one.
Tresspasser though

>$15
Maybe if the gameplay were enjoyable, but the reason I took a year away from the game to begin with was because it was so abysmal.
Is it even long enough to justify $15? Bioware hasn't really released any worthwhile DLC in the past half-decade or so.I'm also really disappointed with the multiplayer. ME3's multi was great, and I was hoping for more in the same vein with DAI.
>>121749358
It's the logical end of DAI and musthave.

Citadel was fantastic, Mark of the Assassin was as well.
>I'm also really disappointed with the multiplayer.
Everyone is for the same reason as you.
>>121749358
you've got 3+ years until the next game comes out, might as well play it while the ending's fresh in your mind

>>121749751
Legacy is great but a bit too combat heavy for most.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll wait to seeif it goes on sale during that one day every year Origin actually has sales, the day after Thanksgiving.
If not, then I'll probably grab it anyway. I'm seeing people say that it adds a lot of content to the rest of the game before the ending but I don't really want to play through it all again, how much would I really be missing?
>>121750181
Didn't they just end of bunch of sales?
>>121750410
I dunno, I hope not. I never use Origin except when I'm playing this game or ME3 but they used to only do sales once per year for 24 hours only.
>>121750410
Trespasser wasn't on sale.
>>121755150
yuck
Descent worth getting?
>>121756094
Yeah, if you like deep roads, dwarven lore and fightings.
>>121749524
I haven't played the multiplayer in inquisition yet, is it really not good? I just want some fun coop with my bro who just got the game.
