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

>It happens a lot.





Ok, so, I'm still abiding by the Flirt With Everyone Principle, so.. this is a bit hard to click, but I am flirting even though this is a Serious Conversation. And even though Anders is losing the poll so I feel bad for leading him on. :P



goddammit
i'm too much of an anxious prude to play hawke like this : P
(It does amuse me that - the one above it is Diplomatic, and the one below it is Aggressive. The flirt option replaces the purple option, here. :P)

Don't do this to me omg.

He really does have the dark and broody thing down to a T, huh.

 

I really love that Anders goes straight from Hawke saying he's cute to full on ~WE CAN NEVER BE TOGETHER!!!!~ anders. ur a mess.

 

If u don't flirt with him in this conversation he says he likes you and asks if him thinking of u that way makes you uncomfortable. And if you say yes he gets offended. And if you say no he immediately goes back to "no, I shouldn't do this, I can't" mode. ANDERS!!!

 

anders
anders are you a vampire
is that why you quote terrible vampire novels
anders pls
(what a mess he is oh gosh i wanna kiss him)

 

Sorry I'm gonna be that guy but: the first time Fenris tries to flirt with you, if you turn him down flat even if it's in the rudest terms possible (like "don't even think about trying to say something like that to me again") he just says "of course". And in the convo I did this with I actually got + friendship! I thought that was awesome to be honest.

 

okay but how could u turn down the angry elf boy
hes so handsome
and so angry
i love all of these characters so much like i dont know how they did it but romancing any of them would be so appealing to me
(but i have #pointy-ear-bias so i voted for merrill and fenris)

 

Well my character in my 2nd playthrough was an angry misandrist butch lesbian so that made it easy!

 

Well, while the romance poll dust is settling, I figure we might as well have a ....

RUNNING AROUND LOOTING THINGS SELLING THINGS AND PICKING UP RANDOM SIDEQUESTS INTERLUDE
You gotta do it occasionally. Plus, hopefully we will get banter with The New Squad!

introducing, the new friends...............

FENRIS....


ISABELA...


and (hawke looks at smudged writing on her hand) anger?

 

Wandering around Kirkwall at night, one is frequently attacked by random gangs.

Or wandering around Darktown in the daytime.

fig. 1.: fenris being a badass

more dudes...

After the fight, Anders runs over from like fifty feet away, where he was buffing people et cetera.
I suspect this is the sensible way to play a mage, rather than "run towards as many of them as possible and then cast Cone of Cold or Mind Blast," but fuck that.

Who's this douchebag?

He's mean and he consorts with slavers.
(points at my own eyes)
(points at his eyes)
i'm watching u

Oh, honey, it is distressingly likely that you are eating Puddles.

But at least you're not eating THIS, which grows five feet from where you're standing and could definitely kill you.

Anders! Help the sad coughing child. Her coughing is distressing me.

Spoiler: Codex - Kirkwall's Darktown

Darktown was once a mine controlled by the Tevinter Imperium. Once exhausted, the mineshafts were extended under the city to dispose of sewage from Kirkwall's overcrowded population ofslaves.

Unsurprisingly, the tunnels became a refuge for those fleeing captivity. A similar trend continues today. The "Undercity," as some call it, is home to the diseased, the insane, to criminals, and even the dead—unwanted corpses are often discarded here by murderers and lazy undertakers.

Darktown's slums makes Lowtown look pleasant in comparison. The foul miasma known as chokedamp clogs and swells in every corner of the Darktown, creating a poisonous mist. Its sewers are a dangerous place. The walls are damp, slick, and coated with phosphorescent lichen. The sewer is a maze, and one foolish enough to enter is not likely to be heard from again.

—From In Pursuit of Knowledge: The Travels of a Chantry Scholar, by Brother Genitivi

Spoiler: Codex - Deathroot

Deathroot has been used in magic and potion making for centuries. It's a fragile-looking plant with a thin stalk and purple flowers, which fruits once a year developing bright red fleshy pods that cause disorientation and dizziness if ingested.

There are two varieties. The more common Arcanist Deathroot was first found by Archon Hadrianus when he discovered it growing on several dead slaves. The other, Lunatic's Deathroot, is most closely associated with the story of the courtesan Melusine, who sought revenge on a powerful magister and his family. She harvested the plant, baked it into small pies for the magister's banquet, and presented them to the magister at a banquet. All the guests were seized by terrifying hallucinations after eating the pies and tore each other to pieces.

Also, another note on friendship and rivalry:
As I've said, either is ok in Dragon Age. You don't get a worse path if you rival someone, just a different one. HOWEVER, it's important to .. lean one way or the other? Like, if you want to rival someone, commit. It's necessary for romancing - and good for character development even if you aren't romancing - to get everyone to +50 or -50 by the end of Act 2 and +100 or -100 by the end of act 3. (Ending up between +50 and +100 is fine; but if we rival someone we really really should get them to -100 by the end.)
So how do we do that? Well, you get friendship points by doing stuff people like (either in conversation or in plot choices) and the reverse for rival points. But that doesn't mean that - for example - being pro-mage means we HAVE to rival Fenris. We have to just be a bit more careful with which quests we bring him on! If he's not with us, it doesn't affect his approval.
So yeah.
