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

Dragon Age: a series where YOUR CHOICES MATTER (TM). :::PPP

Ok, but in return, I'm going to go through all your lootable boxes and steal your--

--feathers.

oh. uh. ok.

 

Giant spiders: even worse for morale than racism.

 

Oh hey, there's some corrupted lyrium up here, that's interesting, can I explore further?

... no, because Isabela charged into a fight with >3 giant spiders. #ok

these giant spiders are p giant, if still not RH-sized.

(ouo)




(ouo) yes.



that's.. strangely adorable. you go make your wife a bizarre goth necklace, mine dude.

Spoiler: Codex: The Bone Pit

Sire,

I interviewed the surviving slave this morning. She was horror-struck, but managed to tell me her chilling story.

The Overseer lined seventeen slaves up, one behind the other, at the lip of the quarry. The second slave in line was ordered to push the man in front over the edge. The third slave pushed the second, the fourth the third, and on it went.

Workers in the quarry heard the screams, the crack of bone against rock, and then the survivor's anguished cries as the Overseer's dragonlings feasted on the sixteen helpless bodies splayed upon the quarry's basin. The woman who told me this story was the seventeenth in line, spared only because no one stood behind her.

Sire, I recommend we stop this ugly practice. Effective as it may be in motivating workers, it's also bringing our mine notoriety as a death trap. Stories of the "bone pit" swirl throughout Kirkwall. The Veil is thin enough here, and above that pit it is practically ready to sunder. We risk more than simple rebellion should the overseer be allowed to continue.

—A letter from Prefex Santarius, 35 Ancient

Prefex Santarius,

The output of the Maharian Quarry is up almost a third this season, and the Overseer has received a commendation from the archon himself. You will speak of your findings to no one.

—A response from Magister Quillan, 35 Ancient

Isabela, have you worshiped T H E G R E E N S P I R E today

 

At this point it occurred to me that I might have missed something interesting on Sundermount. Hoo boy, had I. But first, banter.

 

\o I'll keep an eye out.

owo whats this

Spoiler: Codex - Revenant

An entire unit of men, all slain by one creature. I didn't believe it at first, your Perfection, but it appears that this is so. We have a survivor, and while at first I thought his rantings pure exaggeration... it appears to be no simple skeleton. The descriptions of the creature's abilities were eerily similar to those our brothers at Marnas Pell encountered almost a century ago: men pulled through the air to skewer themselves on the creature's blade, and attacks so quick that it was able to assault multiple opponents at once. No, your Perfection, what we have here is indeed a revenant and nothing less.

—From a letter to Divine Amara III, 5:71 Exalted.

A revenant is a corpse possessed by a demon of pride or of desire... making it amongst the most powerful possessed opponents that one can face. Many possess spells, but most are armed and armored and prefer the use of their martial talents. They are weak against physical attacks but regenerate quickly, and commonly use telekinesis to pull opponents into melee range should they try to flee. Revenants also have the ability to strike multiple opponents surrounding them. Stay at range if possible and strike quickly—that is the only way to take such a creature down.

guys, this fight took me 25 fucking minutes and a huge amount of slamming mana potions so i could revive everybody other than hawke or anders when they all died. to give you an idea of how this felt, i am just going to put a ton of screenshots in here







Look @ all those sparkly loot piles.

... I accidentally clicked on Anders and got some Opinions

 

So the thing all these monsters are surrounding is... this chill golem with a shop?


Spoiler: nothing THAT good?? Maybe not worth this fight. :P

Oh yeah, let's go hand off.... this finger... which i guess is a relic??

 

i'm going to bed, but tell me who you think we should bring on the Urgent Private Qunari Business with the viscount! i will attempt to be distracting from the election tomorrow, although i may instead be distracted by it.

 

"I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about mages?"

 

anders is an experience

 

For Qunari business: Fenris, Aveline, Varric?

 

Spoiler: Codex - The Llomerryn Accords

50 years. That's how long it took the Imperium to drive out the Qunari occupation. But the rest of Northern Thedas was not so lucky.

Both Divines, white and black, declared Exalted Marches and for the only time since the Schism of the Chantry, they worked together. A century-long siege resulted, with the giant Qunari entrenched in Antiva and Rivain, and all of Thedas throwing armies against them.

The war drained the resources of every nation in Thedas, leaving most on the brink of collapse. For the giants, it did not appear to be the damage to their armada or the loss of their soldiers, but the terrible toll upon the Rivaini population that prompted their retreat. When the Third New Exalted March had all but massacred the people of Kont-aar without even chipping the Qunari occupying force, the giants finally withdrew.

The treaty that put an official end to the Qunari Wars was signed on the politically neutral island of Llomerryn off the southern coast of Rivain. 150 years after the assault on the mainland began, the Qunari left our shores. They received the northern archipelago in exchange for cessation of hostilities against all the nations on the accord. Only Tevinter refused to sign, and so the war continues to rage in the Imperium to the present day.

It's worth noting, however, that the Kingdom of Rivain immediately violated the treaty. Twice. Once, when the humans of northern Rivain—nearly all practitioners of the Qun and therefore by definition, "Qunari"—refused to leave their homes and go in exile to the islands. And again, when the Rivain Chantry and nationalist forces, unable to convert its people back to the worship of the Maker, tried a purge by the sword, slaughtering countless unarmed people and burying them in mass graves. It's a fortunate mystery that the leaders in Kont-aar did not alert their allies in the Northern Passage, or we'd still be fighting the giants now.

... omg, Wix, you guessed the same party I picked without seeing your post :D

 

Hawke is doing That Face again.

I am intensely and disproportionately bothered that his beard is just textured on, so it looks like a skin disease.

 

It's my preferred party for the End of Act 2 ;)

god only knows, aveline.




i did miss this terrifying dude.





you did indirectly cause a lot of people to die by poison gas that one time. admittedly it was kind of our fault too, but your plan was shitty to begin with.
