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

I knew which face it was before the images loaded, bc it is a HILARIOUS FACE XD

 

I like it because its just the perfect fusion of "Great now I gotta deal with this shit" and "he protected me? omg?" and I find it so beautiful

 

>Just remember, I'm an ally.



I think this is Hawke making a joke, but I can't tell. XP

A fancy chest!

Niiice, I've got almost the whole Spiral Eye set now.





Great.









>_?

 

>Someone left a trail?

 

>Someone left a trail?









you gotta appreciate.. i guess... that the da2 animation team didn't bother with realistic sad brows but made this guy able to slightly open his mouth to show off the THREADS SEWN INTO IT


>Investigate
>Is "Saarebas" a name or a title?








he looms ominously, at that. izzat a fuckin threat, bro?
Also, as excellent as the wix-inspired title was, I think I'ma start changing it again.

 

GOD WHY IS EVERYONE ASSHOLES TO MAGES

 

@IvyLB #dragonage2
P.S. I was tempted to make the new thread title "Blue and IvyLB Play Dragon Age 2" :P There's some kinda different-continents timezone convergence thing happening here.

>Investigate
>Don't you care who set this up?


I JUST FUCKING TOLD Y- actually, I have another quibble, which is "do I look like someone who could carry an entire dead qunari"






The camera keeps switching who it's pointing at, which is why I have so many screenshots per line of dialog in this exchange XP
>Investigate
>Why do you collar your mages?



^Hawke speaking.


... contagious? o_o

The Merrill one has the companion special choice icon, the "But I'm a mage" one has the special choice icon, the upper right is a check and the lower right is an x.
>_?

 

... Let's tank socially for Merril and go with

>But I'm a mage too.

(Also lol yeah it's p late for me, idk timezones are weird man)

 

>But I'm a mage too.










(does anyone understand what Hawke means by this? cuz i do not)

Now, that, that's a clear statement.

That... looks....... like it should be tagged #nsfw (it's glowing, not just vibrantly colored, to be fair.)




Nice of you to stand all bunched up like that, boys.

Spoiler: Codex - The Qunari - Saarebas

The Qun teaches that all living things have a place and a purpose, and only when they are in the correct place and in control of their self may a being attain balance. When balance is lost, suffering follows. Mastery of the self is, therefore, the first and greatest duty.

Those born with magic are at a terrible disadvantage, for demonscan always rob them of their self. Because of this, the Qunariname them saarebas, meaning "dangerous thing," and treat them with the utmost caution. Saarebas must be carefully controlled by someone else, an arvaarad, "one who holds back evil," because they cannot truly control themselves. The evil is not the mage, but the loss of the mage, the loss of the mage's self, and the suffering that inevitably follows.

The Qunari pity and honor the saarebas, for striving while under constant threat from within is truly selfless, which is the highest virtue of the Qun.

—From the writings of the seer of Kont-aar, 8:41 Blessed

 

One fight later...

>Investigate
>What if I hadn't killed Arvaarad?

>Investigate
>What if Arvaarad was wrong?





>Investigate
>Go back to the sister.

>Investigate
>Join the Tal-Vashoth.





>_?

 

SORRY ABOUT ALL THE SUICIDE IN THIS VIDEO GAME

 

>I refuse to allow this.

 

>Do what you want.

 

>Do what you want.

 

Aha.. ha.. I was in a hurry to wrap up this choice and go to bed so I did not see the other votes. Sorry, I usually wait longer on important-ish stuff. Well. It turns out ok even if you pick this option! For ... a given value of ok. I mean, it's pretty much the same as the other option, is my point.
>I refuse to allow this.

Interpretation of votes: she acts on her first impulse and then immediately regrets it? :P



SPARROW HAWKE VS THE ENTIRE QUN

 

Spoiler: Codex - The Qunari - Asit tal-eb

When the Ashkaari looked upon the destruction wrought by locusts,
He saw at last the order in the world.
A plague must cause suffering for as long as it endures,
Earthquakes must shatter the land.
They are bound by their being.
Asit tal-eb. It is to be.
For the world and the self are one.
Existence is a choice.
A self of suffering, brings only suffering to the world.
It is a choice, and we can refuse it.

—An excerpt from The Qun, Canto 4

HAWKE sees the shape of the scheme.

Spoiler: Codex - Talisman of Saarebas

A simple shape on a leather cord. The uneven polish is not a failure of workmanship; rather the result of exacting and repeated study by powerful hands.

Black glimmers curl just beneath a surface that should be solid, and there are glimpses of a core that seems to be carved from a piece of horn. Gaze for more than a moment and it seems to stir something in an uncommonly dark corner of the mind, coaxing out a familiar, primal emotion: want. It is impossible to say whether Saarebas intended this as reinforcement or restriction. At the moment, it simply is.

This secret thing was never meant for the eyes of another.

She is clearly trying very hard to sound casual.

She is failing.
