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

Why would anyone think that breaking into the house of a blatant mage who's bffs with the captain of the guard was a good idea? And considering how pigeon helped us fight the Arishok there's no excuse for being surprised by him.

 

>jail for you

Purple just makes me think we're gonna threaten to hunt him with pigeon and =// no

 

Spoiler: spoilers for options

Fun fact, not only is that what hapens (we say we're giving him a head start and then siccing the dog) in the Red option Pigeon just mauls the guy.

Why does the burglar look exactly like Carver?

 

>You're going to jail.

Spoiler: Codex - History of Kirkwall Chapter 4

The Threnhold family assumed its foreboding control of the city at the very onset of the Dragon Age, less than a week after Maric Theirin retook the Ferelden throne from Orlais.

Since this was followed by a civil war in Antiva (the much-maligned "Three Queens" era) and a coup in the Tevinter Imperium, many thought that the Dragon Age would bring devastating change. Perhaps this was a hasty estimate, but it was true for Kirkwall. Viscount Chivalry Threnhold was a vicious thug who took power through a campaign of intimidation, and his son Perrin who succeeded him in 9:14 Dragon Age was even worse.

Taxes were crippling and Perrin Threnhold used the ancient chains extending from "the Twins" standing at Kirkwall's harbor—unused since the New Exalted Marches—to block sea traffic and charge exorbitant fees from Orlesian ships. The Empire threatened invasion following the closure of the Waking Sea passage, and for the first time, the Chantry used the templars to pressure the viscount. Until that point, the templars had done nothing to counter the Threnholds even though, as the largest armed force in Kirkwall, they could have. Knight-Commander Guylian's only written comment was in a letter to Divine Beatrix III: "It is not our place to interfere in political affairs. We are here to safeguard the city against magic, not against itself." The divine, as a friend to the emperor, clearly had other ideas.

In response, Viscount Perrin hired a mercenary army, forcing a showdown with the templars. They stormed the Gallows and hung Knight-Commander Guylian, igniting a series of battles that ended with Perrin's arrest and the last of his family's rule. The templars were hailed as heroes, and even though they wished to remain out of Kirkwall's affairs, it was now forced upon them. Knight-Commander Meredith appointed Lord Marlowe Dumar as the new viscount in 9:21 Dragon and she has remained influential in the city's rule ever since.

N'aww.
Okay, we have tons of quests, but the first thing I want to do is go check in on all the companions post-timeskip. Any preferences on who to visit first?

Spoiler: Codex - Merrill - The Last Three Years

"Everything I do, everything I've ever done, was for the good of my people."

Merrill spends more and more of her time locked away in her house in the alienage with her mirror; she leaves only to buy food, which she does so rarely that Varric has taken to having produce delivered to her door. At least she no longer gets lost as she wanders the city.

Who next?
>_?

 

Varric or the buoyfrond!

 

boyfrand!

 

>_?

 

>what's wrong?

 

>What's wrong? (And can we get a translation for that... elvish? Tevinter? (Does Tevinter have its own language?))

 

>What's wrong?







sad elv.
>Where did you find her?





>_?

 

Tevinter has its own language, which is called Tevene! And I think Fenris' swearing is just general fuck-shit-dammit type.

 

The language is Tevene, but Fenhedis is elven (probably used in Tevene too bc they're Problematic). It's just colorful swear words!

 

...I do not like any of these conversation options, I agree with him that this may be a trap and we should proceed with caution. Mrrrh.

>Green??
