Kintsugi Plays Dragon Age 2 (a winner is me!)

[[FRIEND/RIVALMETER INTERLUDE]]

Below is a spoiler - it's only for game mechanics, but if you'd rather do a totally blind playthrough, leave it alone I guess.

Spoiler: Spoiler

By the end of the game, we ideally want people to either be at 100% Rivalry or between 50% and 100% Friendship.

Varric's in the exact middle - apparently he has no opinion on us yet. :|

While we were very nice to Merrill, none of it counted because she wasn't in the party yet. However, if you guys keep this up, we'll be at 100% friendship in no time :D

Aveline's happy because 1) we had her intimidate that guy for Athenril 2) we were suspicious of blood magic.
Carver's in the Rival Zone somewhere but I can't get a picture of his ATM 'cuz he's not in the party.

 

I doubt there will be much dissent, given the general fed-up-with-Carver-ness. However, there will be a lot more opportunities to switch it up in the future!
>New Party Selected!




(City elves are consistently fucked over in the DA universe. Well, all elves are, I guess.)

This lady has a "quest completion" symbol above her head so I'm gonna go talk to her!

 

(Alright, so maybe that was a quest *start* icon. I'm not sure. DA folk, help?)
(Anyway)
>_?

 

Honestly I think we're just all happy not to have to bring Carver anymore. ;P

 

carver, you have been voted off the island!

 

someone tell me what to say to this poor sad elf lady 0:

 

>Can I help?

Save the apostates!

 

>Your son's an apostate?

 

It's a quest continue symbol. If you check your quest log you'll have a bunch of rumors (presumably from Varric) that are quests you can/need to do. Also Carver is near impossible to befriend. I think you have to get literally every possible friend point for him. Same with rivaling Bethany. Everyone else is fair game. (but why would you be mean to Merrill???)

Fun fact: Merrill's VA is also Gwen Cooper from Torchwood. She is so adorably Welsh

 

Oh, I see, I forgot about the rumors.

EDIT: And yes, Merrill's voice is AS ADORABLE AS THE REST OF HER. I might try rivaling her in a future playthrough, just because I'm curious what it's like? But it'll be hard. : P

 

>Can I help?




>Investigate
>Tell me about the nightmares.



>Investigate
>Where is Feynriel now?



>Investigate
>Are you Dalish?

Merrill: :<



>Investigate
>What exactly happened?





>_?

 

>That is a problem...

 

>That is a problem...



>_?

 

Innocent apostate whistling in the background x2 combo

 

Should I just assume y'all are in favor of "of course I'll help"? :P

 

Merrill is my sweet sugar angel. I romanced her in my first playthrough. I love her.

And then I romanced [redacted] in my second playthrough because I was like And Now For Something Completely Different.

And yes, all of the helping!

 

>Of course I'll help.




>Investigate
>What is Thrask like?



>Investigate
>Tell me about Vincento.

Rude, Hawke!

...Rude, Vincento!


On the one hand.. there are no time-sensitive quests in the game and realistically it'll take us a while to get to it.. on the other hand.. this lady has enough stuff to worry about...
What do you guys think I should say?
>_?

 

>I'll go right now.

I mean we'll probably get sidetracked first, but at least let's acknowledge it's important, right?

 

>i'll go right now

 

>I'll go right now.





I'm just gonna swing by Gamlen's real quick, since we're already in Lowtown.
