Finished Witch Hunt. What a lovely, mysterious and awesome dlc full of lore. I presume that wardens who romanced Morrigan should be more fulfilled as character, the end is great. (ofc I let Morrigan go, she's a BFF) If you choose the orlesian warden to play Witch Hunt, the mabari is definitely the Hero of Ferelden's mabari who made the ultimate sacrifice in DAO because both Sandal and Morrigan recognise him (which it's really cute) Aw if only Morrigan would have been male and queer, she's the most important character companion in the whole franchise. It's been great playing as Ringan Caron, I will miss him (until I play as him again in the future he) I love him a lot more now and his animal family  Next Leliana! And then Hawke  (I never played Darkspawn dlc and I have no interest ... which it's funny because I have the dlc but meh) Edit. Although default world state for orlesian wardens is that Flemeth is alive (or the hero of Ferelden killed her and Morrigan thinks she's still alive) and the orlesian warden is looking for information about Morrigan and what she had to do with ending the Blight, which it's a plot-hole BIOWHUR if you choose to play as the orlesian warden means that the hero died and she left!!!! SIGH... At least the Keep is useful for this plot-holes. |

Finished Leliana dlc and started DA2! First, poor Leliana but to be honest she should have seen that coming. I tried to roleplay as her more bard/assassin personality, not something I'm used to. And why this game keeps forcing you to kill mabari, I hate it  I finally made Rohan Hawke thanks to the magic mirror I'm really glad the game kept the default appareance for his siblings, since that was my first contact with them. Carver has hazel eyes as Hawke so I dont know if that is default, but anyway Ryllel Amell was their cousin and he had hazel eyes too soooo fitting đź‘Ś Ofc it bugs me that I cant use the save from Awakening because I used the one with the ultimate sacrifice. I hope the game doesnt break my immersion too much. When I used it for Ryoren (my lesbian Hawke) it was fine except for Nathaniel, as far I remember. I dont know how much time I'm gonna play this because duty and real life is hard but I'll try! I cant wait to get headaches rivalmancing Fenris and Anders  edit. I mean rival both of them and only romancing Fenris, I'm not a slut in this game |

I would love some tsundere romance options in the future because these kind of characters usually have some good character development. Sailor Mars is my queen of tsundere characters this is offtopic but I dont care XD   I love Raye so much!!! I know we watched completely different versions of the show/characters, but Katie Griffin did such a wonderful job voicing Sailor Mars and I absolutely love her character development even though she's not my favorite sailor scout. I have a lot of love for all the scouts though! Her new English dub actress completely ruined the character for me, but that dub in general is an abomination that I despise for how it treats fans of the original show such as myself...but that's a topic for another time, haha.  I'd be all for a tsundere human romance, can't do elves haha.  I just had to put on the Sailor Moon soundtrack after this!I've only done the Golems DLC...twice? Once was on hard mode to get the platinum trophy on PS3...it was impossible. I'll never get the platinum on Origins thanks to that awful DLC. Thanks, BioWare. Probably never touching it ever again. I have no interest in dwarfs/deep roads anyway. Aww, that's pretty great that Ringon had all his animal companions with him! Yes, it's really cute and sweet that Morrigan plays with Ango, it's great seeing her like that. I know how you feel, desperately missing my Arthur and his adventures with his wonderful king husband! Hehe Gryffen is (non-canon) romancing both Anders and Fenris because he can't get into a certain chantry brother's pants...yet lol. He's already slept with Fenris.  I'm also busy in life at the moment so I haven't had much time to play Dragon Age 2 and won't for some time...but I do enjoy it when I have the time to play it. |

Andrew Mancer thank you, glad you liked Ringan and his animal family I didnt know you could invoke both the wolf and the bear at the same time, while you are invoking one, click in the other, this way the first character "doesnt die", I dont know if it is a glitch but I love you can do that without mods or console commands, I found out by chance! Yes, I dont know what it's the problem Bioware has making some dlc sooooo hard, but the one from Inquisition in the Deep Roads is a nightmare for me, I killed the boss just because I got lucky and my character learned to fly, no kidding ( I even have a screencap), this was on easy mode. Seriously I know I suck at gaming but this is another level  Glad Gryffen is having a good time I have to do non-canon jealous playthroughs one gay I mean day lol PS. Sailor Moon is the best anime edit. Actually I'm scared if Anders shows up again because of my headcanon of him and Ringan. The thing is that the romance mod in DA:A was only in my character's head because he had a crush on Anders and then they would be reunite after all what happened in DA2, and develop mutual love feelings. I suppose he protected Anders from Coryfetus's influence. Hmmm, I would love to see Anders again though, damn headcanons!

I don't think, they would able to handle the many different end-game/post-game outcomes with him. Just a little example: why would Hawke, who loves Anders, would return to Kirkwall for Varric? Varric is a good friend, this is okay, but what about Anders in this situation? He would never leave Hawke, and Hawke would never leave him (at least mine). Can they live in the Hawke-residence? I'm not sure, then Hawke and Anders want to return to this City – rather not. Both suffered enough there. So: where's Anders in this story? You see, I'm not sure, I want to know. |

I dont like grumpy King Alistair in DAI that much for example, I know he had his reasons to be angry but calm your tits Alistair. That's the problem with a game with sooo many branches in the story. I could totally use a time jump in the future to fresh out the franchise after DA5 (devs said this was going to be the last game with story? at least I read this somewhere). I think MEA was a good move to "reboot" the franchise without butchering their own universe and characters (looking at you Tomb Raider) even with their bugs/devs homophobia was a decent game, not the best, but the time jump into another galaxy was a smart move. But in other hand I want to know if Anders is happy |

But in other hand I want to know if Anders is happy I fully understand you. And you can believe, that with Hawke who supports him, he has big a chance for a happiness. If there a chance to see a future happy end, I would like it, but the truth is: I don't trust, and I have reasons. (Okay, I'm pessimist, I even don't want to see Fenris again, while Fenris and Hawke has more chance to a happiness...) You know, my opinion about Justice, that he still has his original purpose, and still spirit, but of course damage, because the mortal world's rules are different than the fade rules. Nothing that clear there, so he's not that pure righteousness, like in the Fade. But I also believe, he can learn, and recover, as Cole – for example. It depends. But I also have many doubts about the devs. Gaider's gone (he wrote Awakening!Anders and Awakening!Justice), and Hepler too (and I'm glad for it because she had some " interesting" ideas about Anders' sexuality and fem!Hawke players... and –back to the story–, after I read this (BSN, Anders topic): "I can tell you my favourite rejected Bioware proposal that I ever did, which is that I really wanted.
Cause we get a lot of people always complaining, that, y'know, 'Well, I wouldn't do what a demon is tempting me with!', because they don't actually live in that world and there's nothing we can really tempt them with that is worth it.
And I really wanted to do something, where in the first piece of DLC after Dragon Age 2, that Justice walks into town still wearing the body from Awakening and says, 'What do you mean merging with Anders? I never merged with Anders?'
And you realise that he was just tricked by a demon. Because they're that tricky. They're that tricky, that you can believe in them for an entire game and not realise that they were tricking you. But sadly, that was not to be."
- Fresh out of Tokens Podcast, Ep 63, Aug 31, 2016.
(Around the 40 minute mark for those curious)
(What a fucking "great" idea, to ruin his character indeed!) So: Hepler with her "interesting" ideas, is gone, but still there's big chance to ruin my world: the Taint for example. Gaider said the taint and Justice "relationship" could be interesting: Justice's presence can slow down the process of the Taint, OR the Taint able to ruin Justice. And I still don't want to see a raging Abomination (if Hawke spared him) / demon (if Hawke killed Anders...!) I afraid there are too many temptations to make him mad/evil, if they bring him back. So no. I don't want that. |

Catilina I full support your opinion, and Hepler must be on crack or something  I mean the great thing about Anders is that he's a complex character with a lot of grey shades in his personality because of oppression and tragedy in his life. Taking away Justice/Anders merging for a random demon is erasing what makes great the character. ///// I just met Fenris and I picked the first flirt option so cute Fenris being a dork when you say that his death would be a waste of a handsome elf and then he giggles and coughed lol I'm writting down the points I get from the characters, I remember how much time I spent to found out where was the center in the affinity bar in past playthroughs lol at the moment I have: Carver ( 60) Varric ( 25) Aveline ( 30) Fenris ( 20). Gonna meet Anders next, I hope I can get some rival points from Fenris. Once they all are maxed out you can play without worries and I cant wait for that

While obviously not a tragic one. I found Fenris' rivalry harder than the friendship, so, be careful, Ralph started with a hard rivalry, and already full befriended... never happened so quickly before. (I don't use the wiki, I'm so lazy to do it.) Of course, between Fenris and red!Hawke working some mysterious chemistry (probably Fenris the only, who can bear his manners – when killed that bastards in his own hand, I felt, Fenris admires him....) Perhaps, I need to make a red!Hawke again, dedicated to him... I played too, the story later, but I'm still into the DA2's facial expressions! Strong as fuck! Just a little moment, when Anders looks at Hawke, and after looks at Elthina. Perfection! (The diary later, it's not that easy!) |

Finished Act 1! I did all the sidequests (and stupid fetch quests). I still hate killing mabari Bioware and I remember there is a gang with mabari  (well if I kill the breeders future puppies are safe I guess) I managed to max out Carver in Act 1 (rivalry) but I must say you have to metagame if you dont want to sacrifice your character's personality (at least a pro-mage Hawke). I'm glad I prefer rival him instead of friend him because that would be a nightmare  so this how things go: Carver ( 100), Varric ( 100), Aveline ( 85), Isabela ( 20), Merrill ( 5), Fenris ( 70) and Anders ( 10). Yep I dont have 25 rival points for Anders because I like to free mages with him in the party, what I did was sending Feynriel to the dalish without Anders in the party but I went to check out on him in the dalish camp with Anders in the party so no points given but Anders saw what I did. Then I did Act of Mercy with Anders in the party gaining 10 points and then trolling the demon in the deep roads + some conversations, so he has now 10 points without butchering my Hawke's personality. Now I need to max out Merrill, Anders and Isabela in act 2, plenty of rival points I like to get there and GIFTS!!!! I hate how some characters have two gifts and other have only one, that's unfair  Also I dont like the fact some scenes are attached to the personality the player chooses for Hawke, for example I can not avoid the fight with Danyla's daughter if my Hawke is sarcastic, but I'm not willing to sacrifce the Hawke I have in my head because the bitch want to avenge her mother and kill an innocent man so fuck her. |

I only need to do Night Terrors to have 100% rivalry for Anders! The only friend points I got from him were from Act of Mercy and when Anders checked if Keran was possessed, also there are like 10 unavoidable friendship points (+5 when you send Carver with the wardens and +5 when you agree to help Anders to stop/kill Ser Alrik) (if I wouldnt have wanted to give the Arulin'Holm to Merrill I would have to avoid checking Keran at least) I always find myself in a dilemma about giving the Arulin'Holm to Merrill, because both options really suck, however not giving the item feels so humansplaining  my Hawke hate blood magic but he understand the importance of elves story, the item is not blood magic either and it's useless what I decide anyway because she will seek help on the friggin demon in act 3 (I'm gonna be pissed Merrill ya know it), but seeing Merrill so obssessed is painful, I care a lot about her and knowing the future of the Keeper and how bad she feels after that  at least you can save the clan. I must say that is really painful both Anders and Merrill rivalry paths because I do believe in mages freedom and restore the elves story, but I dont allow blood magic or spirit possession (or what happens in the end), all the rival points I got from them were from calling out Justice or Merrill's blood magic (and trolling demons ) My mages are always elemental children of mother nature hippies lol And in a way I find the pain rival-ing them fascinating because it breaks my soul into pieces because they are so broken too, fucking drama I love it  Rivalry for Fenris goes so so because sometimes he likes what I do, because he loves me in his tsundere elfy way  Also he's gonna show me how heavy in his two-handed sword soon |

It feels like it has been an eternity since I've been able to sit down and just enjoy playing Dragon Age 2. I finally have some time off and will get back to it. Also...I'm actually really looking forward to Inquisition again even though I likely won't be able to play it until after Pillars of Eternity 2 is released and I have that out of the way. Depends how you look on it. People say that he also ultimately killed the franchise for many years. And when they introduced him, they've changed the episodes from 30 minute mysteries to shorter adventures with real supernatural monsters. After 10 years of the same, I think the format refresh had more to do with extending the life of the series. Also, even CN hates him  I need to see the newer series (I've seen just some snippets). Mystery Inc seems awesome, and Be Cool, despite being appallingly ugly ( the eyes), was actually funny (and they did a nice looking werewolf). I guess Scrappy did kill the franchise if you enjoyed the original format of the show...but I absolutely love the Shaphne years and 13 Ghosts Of Scooby-Doo is one of my favorite pieces of Scooby media because of that...so I'm pretty biased, haha.  I remember that video! I honestly don't mind Scrappy being portrayed that way occasionally (like the first live-action film!), but they need to give the poor guy a break sometime, haha. He isn't so bad! I remember really getting into Mystery Inc. back in the day and I absolutely loved that it had an ongoing story, something they hadn't done since 13 Ghosts Of Scooby-Doo. It's pretty great and a much darker/mature take on the franchise, but you do have to go through a lot of bad to see the good. There are plenty of moments where they are completely out of character and the entire Fred/Daphne plot was nearly enough to turn me away from the show because of how it ruined Daphne's character, and the voice change from the talented Heather North to Grey DeLisle certainly didn't help. Be Cool is absolutely hilarious and I love it! It was a much needed change for the series and I was actually able to interact with one of the lead writers for the show during production. Apparently, CN really hates Scooby and tried their best to make sure this one wouldn't succeed. Davrin's boobs Divine Leliana is too pure for us and Thedas. I really enjoy canons about Hawke and Anders celebrating her being selected. But you remind me - is it actually possible to rival Varric? I've heard snippets with him calling Hawke fat (which - rude, leave my muscle bear husband alone ), but he gets approval from everything, so I've never seen it happen. I think it's hilarious that BioWare has no problem putting LGBT women in a position of power (Empress Celene and both recent Divines) yet we ask for a gay prince/king and they give us that "oh no, it has to make sense for the character" excuse. Yeah...well history would like to have a word with you, BioWare. It's ridiculous and I hope those words come back bite them someday. The games make it near impossible to rival Varric without going out of your way to choose very specific options that probably go against your character/skipping out on quests. They really tried their best to make sure Varric was forced as your protagonist's best friend, ugh...  It's pretty annoying that they feel the need to force him into everything... Yes, I dont know what it's the problem Bioware has making some dlc sooooo hard, but the one from Inquisition in the Deep Roads is a nightmare for me, I killed the boss just because I got lucky and my character learned to fly, no kidding ( I even have a screencap), this was on easy mode. Seriously I know I suck at gaming but this is another level Glad Gryffen is having a good time I have to do non-canon jealous playthroughs one gay I mean day lol PS. Sailor Moon is the best anime edit. Actually I'm scared if Anders shows up again because of my headcanon of him and Ringan. The thing is that the romance mod in DA:A was only in my character's head because he had a crush on Anders and then they would be reunite after all what happened in DA2, and develop mutual love feelings. I suppose he protected Anders from Coryfetus's influence. Hmmm, I would love to see Anders again though, damn headcanons! Yes I remember that boss...it was a total nightmare. I only survived because I had Sera with me and I was able to find a spot where she could continue to attack it while being mostly invincible. I tried and tried several times but no strategy I had seemed to work at all and everyone always died. Funny enough I actually don't remember it being all that difficult the first time I played. It makes me wonder if I was doing something wrong or just got lucky...or if the boss was just that poorly designed. Also yes it totally is. So many wonderful memories with that show. With Carver I actually prefer his friendship path as a Grey Warden. It really felt so fulfilling and like he had really grown as a character by the end of everything. I didn't get that feeling as much through the rivalry/templar path. I also tried rivalry with Grey Warden Bethany once and it felt so wrong! |

Andrew Mancer about Varric's rivalry: Now already I'm sure, I will not be able to finish it on 100%. Now in 70-75%, and already only one quest left to him, and my character only an ass, a lawbreaker, but not evil. For that rivalry, he didn't threaten a child (All that remains), and murdered people just for fun, not even insulted him (so much). Varric's rivalry's hard, I must admit. It's perhaps weird, but Sebastian's rivalry even harder...

So I was dealing with Merrill's rivalry path, I never was mean to her, I gave her the Arulin'Holm, got friend points, I got some rival points for being against blood magic so that helped, the affinity bar was at zero. No friendship no rivalry. She was happy that I gave her the item, Merrill : Hawke you are friend thank you thank you!!!Hawke:  Forbidden Knowledge quest here I go! BOOM 60 points of rivalry then Questioning Beliefs, Merrill be like: I'M SO PISSED AT YOU HAWKE and I dont know why because Bioware is lazy because you gave me the Arulin'Holm so I should be happy but I'm not, GET OUT = 25 points with only diplomatic/sarcastic choices Hawke:  Hawke be like: Merrill look what I got ya!! Merrill be like: 
60+25+15 = 100 Me:  This is how you rival Merrill without being an asshole, thank you Bioware  (I need to max out Isa, Sebastian and my tsundere elf next) edit. just realised that I wrote elves story instead of history  (is it elf history or elves history tho? In spanish would be Historia Ă©lfica or Historia de los elfos) edit2. I should have gotten some rival points from Isa in Act 1 tho, I'm scared |

My Inquisitor's short story. Don't laugh at me! It came to my mind when Josephine asked Trevelyan about the Circle... Willard Trevelyan 32 years old Rift mage, still in progress.  "I was completely infatuated with one of the Templars in our tower… It was so shy, I didn’t say a word", I said to Josephine. When I started to tell, I knew, it was a mistake. So: I lied. Yes, initially, there was no more than just a shy, innocent daydream. The only place, where I could escape was my mind. For long minutes, sometimes for hours, I stood in the window of my cell and waited he appears, and when it happened, I just watched him and imagined, he will look up to me and on the courtyard, he will smile at me. Of course, at the courtyard I embarrassingly tried to avoid his gaze, giving no chance to my dreams. I was only 16, he was 18 and new here. He was beautiful with his blond hair and warm brown eyes, and he looked popular among his fellows, I was sure he has a someone in his life. A girl, perhaps. No. I did not do anything to find out. I didn't want to kill my dreams. Haha! No. I hadn't any illusion about the Templars, including him. He was not the worst of his kind, but still a Templar. I hated them with passion. This hatred was greater than my attraction, and this prevented me to commit some stupidity. That blonde knight was my dream. The reality was the Templar. Not better than the others. I was a „troublemaker” according to them. I just wanted a little fucking respect. Justice. We're people, not dangerous monsters! Not some cursed ones! I was eleven when I burned our curtains in the hall. We had guests... can you imagine that scandal? Mother and these notabilities screamed, my asshole brother laughed as an idiot, and father yelled. I will never forget! I just stood, and laughed awkwardly – I was not able to stop it. My father grabbed me hard, then suddenly pushed me off... I saw the disgust in his eyes. I was not able to stop the laugh, while I wanted to cry. Then the Templars arrived... I was frightened but defied. They will never see my fear! I will never give up! I hated that place from the first moment. They told me: I'll get used to it over time. But I did not want to get used to it! Never! I lost everything. My family, my heirloom, but I want to keep myself! I was punished often, but I always avoided the hardest punishments. Was I fortunate? No. It was about my „family”. My father disowned me, but he paid them to keep me safe... or rather don't let me escape, I suppose, lest he does not have to face me again – to face his shame again. So: I hated the Templars, and I had my reasons. I don't want to love him, and I can't say, I loved him. I loved a dream – about a secretly good man, who wants to help me to escape from this damned place. Nobody knew about my little secret... Later I found my joy with other apprentices, it was better that way. Two years later one night I lay on my bed when the door opened, true, never was locked, we didn't have a key, you know, it would be too dangerous... so – he was in the door, alone. I thought I dream, but it was so real. "Is my time coming?" My stomach clenched, my heart was pounding out of my chest, but I tried to show deadly calm. "Why you're alone", suddenly came to my mind, "not you always come for us in pairs? You're brave, you know!" "Your tongue is as sharp as I've heard", he locked the door, "but I didn't come for you... or... I came for you, but..." "What do you want, spit it out already, or leave me alone!" "You doesn't make things easier for me, you know..." "It was never my goal." I was confused. I was sure, I still dream, but I didn't know, this is my best naughty dream... or the start of my worst nightmare... "Haha... I... don't get me wrong... I just... heard... I just saw you look at me... sometimes. I... noticed you..." I stood up and went to him slowly closer and closer... and tried to be threatening. "What do you wants from me?", I whispered. I kissed him hard. "That is why you came?" More than once I dreamed about it, still, I didn't believe that it happened. And I didn't know, when will I woke up. And how. He kissed me back. *** Of course, they found out soon. They locked me up in solitary confinement, for two weeks. By the time I was released, he was no longer there. Never saw him again. Was it a love? I don't think so. It was just a dream. Never happened. *** *** "Commander Cullen?" |

(I never played Darkspawn dlc and I have no interest ... which it's funny because I have the dlc but meh)
edit. I mean rival both of them and only romancing Fenris, I'm not a slut in this game 
I mean the great thing about Anders is that he's a complex character with a lot of grey shades in his personality because of oppression and tragedy in his life. Taking away Justice/Anders merging for a random demon is erasing what makes great the character.
(well if I kill the breeders future puppies are safe I guess)
so this how things go: Carver (100), Varric (100), Aveline (85), Isabela (20), Merrill (5), Fenris (70) and Anders (10). Yep I dont have 25 rival points for Anders because I like to free mages with him in the party, what I did was sending Feynriel to the dalish without Anders in the party but I went to check out on him in the dalish camp with Anders in the party so no points given but Anders saw what I did. Then I did Act of Mercy with Anders in the party gaining 10 points and then trolling the demon in the deep roads + some conversations, so he has now 10 points without butchering my Hawke's personality. Now I need to max out Merrill, Anders and Isabela in act 2, plenty of rival points I like to get there and GIFTS!!!! I hate how some characters have two gifts and other have only one, that's unfair 
my Hawke hate blood magic but he understand the importance of elves story, the item is not blood magic either and it's useless what I decide anyway because she will seek help on the friggin demon in act 3 (I'm gonna be pissed Merrill ya know it), but seeing Merrill so obssessed is painful, I care a lot about her and knowing the future of the Keeper and how bad she feels after that 
at least you can save the clan.
Also he's gonna show me how heavy in his two-handed sword soon 
(is it elf history or elves history tho? In spanish would be Historia Ă©lfica or Historia de los elfos)
