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

To be fair, you'd think the circumstances of my life would have long since discouraged me from being a smartass, and yet here I am.

>You need my good humor.

 

You're welcome. >:::333

 

Okay, one more conversation and one... sidetrack.. and then we'll be back to normal!

First up: giving Aveline the Ser Aveline shield.





Oh snap, it has a model and everything! .. It's very ugly.


She puts it down on the table.


I'm sensing a problem.
>Have I offended?



ACTUALLY I KEPT IT BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THIS -



why are there so many awful wesley-related dialogue options

 

To be nice?

...so the game is glitched about the shield? :/

 

I should be clear, I'm still posting screenshots from the livestream, I just put a post break after the dialog there. >.> And - I don't think it's a glitch, I think the game's writing assumes you've sold the shield, in the same way Undertale sometimes does gotchas by guessing you'll act in a typical video-game-player way.

>To be nice?


oh.. aveline.. ):





>No respect for your namesake?

 

"If Aveline has Wesley's shield equipped, she will complain that she has to give it up. If you've sold it, put it in Hawke's Personal Storage chest, or destroyed it earlier, she will complain that you sold it for gold. If you have it in storage but not equipped to her, she will complain that you're "passing it around"."

From the wiki.

 

Oh snap, I didn't know that! Yeah, it's in storage.

>It's just a gift for a friend.



aww. peaceful conflict resolution is my jam



AWW.

Spoiler: Codex - Shield of the Knight Herself

A shield of impressive weight, to the point of being unwieldy if held by a weak hand. The crest is Dalish and old Orlesian, and the direct and deliberate styling can be a reference to only one person: the legendary Ser Aveline, the first woman to gain Orlesian knighthood.

Abandoned as a baby, Aveline was raised by the Dalish and grew into a skilled warrior. Her elven parents encouraged Aveline to demonstrate her skill among her human kin, but women were not allowed to enter Orlesian knighthood or compete in tournaments. She entered anyway, her features obscured by armor. Aveline defeated everyone she faced.

Her final victory came to a brutal end when Kaleva, a knight in service to the Emperor, tripped Aveline out of frustration, knocking the helm from her head. Realizing that his honor had been bested by a woman, Kaleva demanded that the competition be nullified. Jeered by the crowd, he lashed out and killed the fallen Aveline.

Prince Freyan had also faced Aveline in the tournament and saw her death as a great injustice. When Freyan became emperor in 7:44 Storm, he formally recognized her skill by abolishing the practices that had excluded her. She was posthumously knighted, and while women are still a rarity in the Orlesian knighthood, those who enter revere Ser Aveline as their patron.

Ser Aveline's career was short—it's simply impossible for her to have held all the equipment that has been attributed to her over the years. But this shield is still of exceptional quality, and Aveline may find it's attribution to her namesake of interest.

 

And FINALLY... I was TRAGICALLY PEER-PRESSURED into going back to the Blooming Rose. >:|




^This in response to a comment about Lusine maybe hiring a Qunari.

Hello Madam -

oh no

OH NO!!!!

 

We cannot let our uncle's presence deter us from our mission of getting laid, I GUESS.


>I'll pay fifty silver.





and lo, there was general agreement that his hair looks like a butt.

But Sabina kept sauntering directly into me, so we went with her.

Your eyeshadow is questionable, but sure.


Alright! Stream wrapped up! Let's get back to business as usual :)

 

Awwwright, quests!

Nothing to do about this one right now.

Or, Sparrow Hawke and the Mysterious Murders

Sparrow Hawke and the Followup with Feynriel ... I think we can also go talk to him with the Dalish if we want?

Sparrow Hawke and the Oh Right We Didn't Kill These Guys

Sparrow Hawke and the My Money's On Him Turning Into An Abomination Just In Time For Us To Fight Him

I heard this one was fun?

And I think this is just a hand-in quest, but I am amused by the description.

>_?

 

Oh yeah, and I think if we take Fenris outside the city it will start his personal quest.

 

Let's take the elf bf to tell the Qunari about the guys we didn't kill?

 

I'll have you know I didn't vote for the Blooming Rose, and argued against the cheapest price because that means a higher chance of becoming Eskimo Siblings with our douchey uncle. :::PPP

 

HELP I'M LAUGHING

 

re: the rose. lol





so help me i will turn this party around


Hawke, you are.... very abrupt.



I... ok, that's an odd name for a weapon.

Aww, and it might not even be worth it to give to Fenris. I want to, though, just because of the name.

 

What's up next?
>_?

 

Feynriel! Let's NOT take our elf husbando!

 

And do take the SJW? :::PPP

 

REASON FOR ABSENCE: preparing for college
REASON FOR RETURN: this is a better way to take breaks from packing than lying on my bed staring at the ceiling and listening to old episodes of cool games inc
REASON FOR LIKELY NEAR-FUTURE ABSENCE: college

 

So, it turns out it's actually very easy to avoid pissing off Fenris on this quest, and we might even get some approval out of it? So, I made an executive decision to bring him along.

>A nightmare?
