Ohhh, so you both write *and* draw. It must be wonderful to be able to get the images out of your head as... images! I envy you so hard.
Some lovely art there in your gallery. Saw your Jack & Jane thing on Discord and it instantly upgraded my interest in that ship from 'nah' to 'hmmm'. Very well done indeed.

I do many things, but mainly art and writing. Yup I got this whole JackxJane thing on Insanity. I love it so harrrrrd. XD I mean I always romance Garrus but the feels I get from Illusive Man. That asshole. XD XD XD Can't help it. Also, my fic helps the plot hole of Miranda knowing exactly where TIM was the entire time and never telling Shepard about it (soooo....you're welcome, Bioware?).
Thanks for checking out my gallery. I'm no professional, just love painting, and improving, and eventually finding my style.

Just thought I'd reply to your message on your profile, hope you don't mind! ; v ;
Oh yes, that was so awkward, I always skip that cutscene. If I don't, I'll die of second-hand embarrassment.
And then it happened all over again in Inquisition when everyone started busting out into song - I know it was meant to be inspiration and whatever but I was like:
"I don't wanna be here. What is this song? Why is everyone singing it? You're giving away out position, STOP! Corypheus could literally be anywhere and you're all singing at the top of you lungs! What's wrong with you people?! You also probably woke up all the wounded and you could start an avalanche! Stop! You're all impractical! This is war not high school musical!"
I always had imbalanced teams, I usually used that glitch in Ostagar to level up faster so my wardens were usually extremely overpowered, didn't really need to balance out the team. I just did that so I could take whomever I wanted without it affecting gameplay. My team was usually Alistair, Oghren and Zevran (made sure he could actually open things) - I would have taken Morrigan out more but she never approved of anything I did XD
I cringed when she appeared in DA2, like "Oh no, c'mon, you had your time in the spotlight, go away."
Then DAI, "Liara. Liara. Liara. Liara 2. flipping. 0!"
Sadly I couldn't play the add-ons for Inquisition cause I'm an old gen user and the dlcs only came out for next gens + pc.
Let's be honest here, if Leliana was in Skyrim, she's be like Maven Black-briar, one of those unkillable npcs.

LOL!!! Too funny and all true!!! I don't know about that glitch but once I got my trophies, I said screw it and did Easy difficulty the entire time. Let's face it, I did not want to be in the Deep Roads for a week. Plus that whole level is gross. Resident Evil is my hubby's genre, not mine, although I love Wesker. Mmm...
Old gen. Oh man. Well...not much really happened with the DLCs I mean the whole Solas thing happened but I'm sure you've heard people are still left in this state of "......ugh. what?"
If Leliana was in Skyrim, she'd be the NPC that I kill...or at least try.

I didn't know about that glitch either until someone told me. They were like "Why you playing origins normally? You know there's this cheat that let's you level up faster. If you go to the wilds, get all the darkspawn blood, come back without the treaties and talk to Duncan over and over it levels you up constantly." - I think during one of my playthroughs I ended up leaving Ostagar at level 17.
Personally I loved the deep roads (horror game fan) but I absolutely hate the Brood Mother. First time I saw her, I was so scared and so disgusted I almost puked and that is in no way an exaggeration. I played the battle with one eye closed and the other semi closed cause I couldn't look at her without feeling sick. Those tentacles will always haunt me.
And omg, yes. I watched other people play Trespasser and that whole deal with Solas, no, just no. I can't deal with that. I see tons of people who are like "WOW this is so cool" and I'm sitting smh like: "Ok this is getting a bit crazy now. Did you guys at Bioware think this through or was it a "we'll go with the flow - make it up as we go along" kind of thing? - What is Dragon Age even about anymore? I have no clue. I miss the days of darkspawn and wardens.
And that whole deal of Solas saving the Inquisitor's life by removing their arm, what's that about? If Solas is just going to destroy the world anyway, what would be the point in saving the Inquizzy? The one person who knew his plan. If anything, Solas just set himself up for failure right there.
Sorry - got carried away! hehe, I do that sometimes.
I wonder if there's a mod where you could put Leliana in Skyrim and assassinate her? *v* Leliana annoys me so much. Did you see the ending of Inquisition if you killed Leliana in Origins?

BreakingOnion In reply to Lilyfield [2015-10-11 18:40:04 +0000 UTC]
Whaaaaaaat? No. I didn't see DAI if I killed her. T_T I didn't even see DA2 with that possibility.
DAO was very thought-through. You can feel the love for the game. The writers took their time and the banter was golden. The characters were golden except Leliana. I'm playing it now and I'm keeping Shale in my party. I love her so much.
I think the writers let the actors do some of the banter improvised. Steve Valentine has adorable wit. And I just met Steve Blum who plays Oghren and hearing him in person, then hearing the character...I know that has to be a hard voice to do. They grabbed talented actors.
I kept falling asleep in Deep Roads. I'd play the game, then pass out twenty minutes into Anvil of the Void. But then I'd be wide awake and sneering at all the...guck everywhere. So I do this quest second. Mages first cuz....Cullen...then Dwarves cuz the colors are not pleasing to my eye (and I love reds and golds), then Elves to recover from being in the Deep Roads. lol...
I shall try this glitch. Does it work on any platform?

Lilyfield In reply to BreakingOnion [2015-10-11 19:11:39 +0000 UTC]
Well you get a whole ton of BS about how she survived if you killed her during the Urn of Sacred Ashes Quest.
She's all like "The maker brought me back to life!" and then at the end of Trespasser she disappears and you find out she was a ghost the whole flipping time. She had actually died in Origins but she came back as a ghost. How the heck nobody noticed is beyond me. Everyone noticed Cole was a spirit so how they didn't notice Leliana - Plot holes.
I agree, there's a lot more love in origins then in any other game.
I LOVE SHALE. I love all the companions in Origins, but Leliana and Wynne.
(I don't like Wynne much just because I despise being told how to act and present myself. I don't need to be mothered and mollycoddled, thank you.) I love everyone's overall sassiness - the banter is playful and nice to listen to. In DA2 the banter is a bit more serious but you have a laugh most of the time and then in DAI it's like kill joys all the time, it's pretty depressing really.
I always do the hardest quests first or what I find to be the hardest quests.
I do the Circle of Magi first (just so I can save Connor later on), then the Urn of Sacred Ashes cause that quest is the most boring to me, then I do the Elves and save the best for last, off to the Deep Roads.
This glitch, it works on Xbox 360. I'm not sure if it works on PS3. I know it doesn't on PC.
I'll look it up for you... Ok so the wiki says that glitch only works on Xbox 360.

EW! A ghost!? That is beyond lazy writing. That's just apathetic thoughtlessness. I agree the DAI banter was beyond boring and depressing. They came up with weak character traits so the comebacks among them are also weak. I would laugh a couple times but the rest....meh. It was to kill time while running around because the mount was a pain if you're farming.

Lilyfield In reply to BreakingOnion [2015-10-12 00:03:20 +0000 UTC]
A GHOST but not just any ghost! A "lyrium" ghost! Whatever the heck that means.
Here's a link to the video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6kJXW…
You only get a couple of sentences about it - that is so lazy. What I think happened is Bioware was trying too hard to copy Skyrim with the huge open world and they cut so many corners that what should have been an awesome game ended up being mediocre at best. Totally didn't deserve to be game of the year.
((And the rifts totally remind me of Oblivion and the Oblivion gates = _ =;)

At least Oblivion didn't have a glowy thing in your hand and the prettiest guy in the game has to die because of plot. Ugh. But I see your point. A lyrium ghost...stupidest thing in the world. They could've implanted ONE sentence from Cole, just to give it that inkling that there wasn't something right with her. "Have you noticed something about Leliana?" And leave it at that. I'd be okay with that, putting her as a Spirit, maybe one that Solas used to help with his plan, and didn't mention it. Just like his spies. There was no mention of spies until the DLC. Now they overcomplicated things and could possibly ruin the rest of Dragon Age games.

Lilyfield In reply to BreakingOnion [2015-10-20 09:17:27 +0000 UTC]
True that.
That's what I'm starting to dislike about Bioware. They just put stuff in there because they can, it's not to enrich the plot or anything, it's just that to serve as a stupid explanation as to why something was the way it was. They make so many plot holes and then they cover it up with even more plot holes.
They are trying to fool people into thinking the story is complex when really if you think about it hard and long enough it's just really confusing. I can't even accurately explain the plot to people anymore. I could with Origins and DA2 but now, now I don't know what the heck's going on.
If you killed Leliana in Origins, when the Inquisitor asks about the Warden in DAI Leliana will say something like
"Me and the warden never really saw eye to eye and it eventually came to a head. In the Temple of Scarred Ashes, they struck me down and I thought I was dead for sure but then I woke up and I knew the Maker had saved me."
At the time a lot of people were angry with this since when you fight her as a rogue, warrior or a even an arcane warrior you get a finishing move which, well, pretty much separates her head from her shoulders.
I saw comments like "Well I find it hard to believe that the maker cured a beheading."
She says she just woke up and she was completely fine. No injures, no nothing.
I don't even know why Leliana had to be in Inquisition as the Spy Master - Zevran could have done it or we could have just had someone completely new, we don't need recurring characters all the time. It's nice if they serve a purpose, if they don't it's just annoying.

Like if Alistair was king and the Warden was Stroud in his place. Leliana as spymaster could have been Zevran, I agree. So dumb. Writers are lazy, or they're getting burned out, or their bosses are pushing them to get scripts done faster....which should never happen because then THIS crap happens, like plot holes.
