21_daysThis is the official Maybe-Dead Hawke Party discussion post!
Whether you're on your fourth playthrough of Inquisition, whether you're staring longingly at the newest DLC, or whether you only played Origins that one time and just really like the porn (*cough*mod mornelithe*cough*), we've all got something to say about Dragon Age -- and this is the place to say it. Who are your forever fave rare pairs? Do you prefer default protagonists or do you spend hours in the character creator? What kinks do you need to prompt on Sept. 6?
Life's little questions, and we all want to talk about them.
This Discussion Post is an anon-only zone; get your Dragon Age on without the burdensome encumbrance of usernames! The exception to the anon-only rule is the Introduction Thread, where you can introduce yourself and meet fellow players.
Introductions!

Re: Introductions!
Date: 2015-09-04 06:50 am (UTC)Writer, artist, prompter, spectator?: I'm planning on prompting and writing. I haven't written fanfiction in a while so I'm excited!
Favorite Dragon Age quest: It's a tie between the Winter Palace in DAI and the assassin quests in Denerim.
Most hated Dragon Age quest: The Fade in DAO!
How long you've been in the fandom: Only about a year. I got DAO when it was free on Origin last year.
Favorite DA protagonist and villain: Hm, that's tough. I think Calpernia's my favorite villain, and I'd have to go with my Dalish Inquisitor as my favorite protagonist. I had a really good handle on his character from the start and he was fun to play.
Least favorite: Oghren annoys me, so I'll pick him as least favorite protagonist. Least favorite villain would be the sloth demon from the Fade in DAO, just because I really really hated that quest.
What would your dream DLC be about?: I'd love to explore the Game more! Especially the intersection of the upper echelons of the Circle with Orlesian nobility. I like political intrigue and spying.

Date: 2015-09-05 11:57 am (UTC)So, *clears throat*, I'm little_abyss on AO3, and fictionalgraveyard on tumblr. I guess I'll be spectating, for the most part, but I can't rule out that I won't write if there's something catches my eye. I'm in the middle of a big AU project, but it's starting to feel like homework, so... yeah.
My most favourite DA quest? I still get gooshy about Wayward Son, the Feynriel quest from DAII. So emotions, probably because my canon Hawke likes to think he invented the term 'pro-mage'. My least favourite quest is Wicked Eyes, Wicked Hearts from DAI, I want to give everyone at that stupid ball a big punch in the jeans.
To that end, while we're talking least faves, I gotta confess, I don't love Sebastian. The whole Chantry system just leaves me cold, so I do a bit of an 'eh' shrug when he's about. Lucius Corin or maybe the Mother are my love-to-hate-em villains, Danarius is my least favourite (I just loathe that dude, though it is a good piece of storytelling). It's more difficult to chose a favourite protagonist - probably, if you twisted my arm, I'd say either Anders or... Does Dagna count? She's lovely, I adore her.
I think I got my dream DLC with the wardrobe thing... no more oddly clingy Skyhold pajamas! *celebration ensues*
I've been 'in' the fandom only really since the beginning of this year, but I've loved (like, with an undeniable firey flame) these games (and all the other stuff) since I discovered it with Origins.
Re: Introductions!
Date: 2015-09-05 02:31 pm (UTC)And Dagna absolutely counts! I was so excited when she came back for DAI. And the recent spoilers... *hearteyes*
Re: Introductions!
Date: 2015-09-09 03:22 am (UTC)Username on DW/AO3/Tumblr: I'm shadow-lover here and on AO3, the-shadow-lover on Tumblr! It's a set of socks that's looking more and more like a real fandom identity every day.
Writer, artist, prompter, spectator?: Prompter and writer!
Favorite Dragon Age quest: Fighting the high dragons in DAI!
Most hated Dragon Age quest: The DA2 boss fights. Weird demon Orsino creeps me out, and Meredith takes forever.
How long you've been in the fandom: I first played DAO almost two years ago now, but wasn't ever active in the fandom. This is my first time writing DA fic and I'm pretty excited.
Favorite DA protagonist and villain: Fenris!! For villain... does Anders count as a villain? Kidding, kidding... Loghain, I guess. I can never actually bring myself to spare him, but I do sympathize for him.
Least favorite: I can't really pick a least favorite protagonist. It depends on the playthrough. I'll agree with fictionalgraveyard above me on the Danarius hate, though. Fuck that guy.
What would your dream DLC be about?: Tevinter!
(no subject)
Date: 2015-09-10 01:56 pm (UTC)Writer, artist, prompter, spectator?: Prompter/spectator. I'm also a writer but I'm knee deep in the beginning of law school right now, which isn't conducive to creative writing. :(
Favorite Dragon Age quest: idk, I morbidly really like the Deep Roads bit in DA2
Most hated Dragon Age quest: Walking around the puzzle rooms at the end of DA:I. Wow I hated that so much.
How long you've been in the fandom: Since DA2 dropped.
Favorite DA protagonist and villain: THIS IS HARD. Fave in DA2 is probably Anders. Fave in DA:I is Bull. I haven't played Origins.
Least favorite: I honestly cannot stand Isabela. I tried to, but I just don't like her at all :(
What would your dream DLC be about?: Orzammar or Tevinter. We don't get to see these places, really, and I'd love to.

Date: 2015-09-10 02:53 pm (UTC)Hope law school's going as well as it can!
(no subject)
Date: 2015-09-11 02:33 am (UTC)Law school is going pretty well, thank you! It's a lot of reading and thinking and not a lot of creativity, sadly. I look forward to being able to read some great fic here to relax :3

Date: 2015-09-10 09:31 pm (UTC)It's one of the most interesting places! I love the long quest into the abandoned place outside it--one of those times when the game was genuinely scary as fuck.

Date: 2015-09-11 04:19 am (UTC)RIGHT? That is definitely at the top of my "scariest video game moments" list.

Date: 2015-09-11 02:33 am (UTC)LIs!
Date: 2015-09-01 07:50 am (UTC)...and what characters do you wish had been LIs?
Re: LIs!
Date: 2015-09-01 01:12 pm (UTC)The correct answer to this is Varric, of course! (But only for Hawke.)
Re: LIs!
Date: 2015-09-01 03:27 pm (UTC)I love it.

Date: 2015-09-01 08:15 pm (UTC)Re: LIs!
Date: 2015-09-01 03:41 pm (UTC)(He seduced my warden in a tent. I was very surprised, did not think that dialogue option was going there. Which leads me to part two of why I loved him, he's really easy to romance, and not in the bad way like Alistair.)
The one who should have been romance-able is Sten. I mean, he hated me enough that I actually wondered if he'd leave the group, but hey. He was hot.
(Third option: Vivienne. Too pretty for this world, do want.)
Re: LIs!
Date: 2015-09-01 08:13 pm (UTC)...so if kink meme prompt reposts are allowed...
Date: 2015-09-01 04:53 pm (UTC)Because there's this half-finished Dorian/Iron Bull fic where Dorian was captured by the Qunari and made into a Saarebas, and then Iron Bull accidentally rescued him, and I'd read versions of that until my eyes fell out. To be totally honest.

Anyone playing anything right now?

Date: 2015-09-04 12:27 am (UTC)I'm between Inquisition playthroughs rn, probably going to finally get around to playing Awakening this week! I've had it downloaded for months but never got around to it.

Date: 2015-09-05 11:57 pm (UTC)Prompts spreadsheet!

Re: Prompts spreadsheet!
Date: 2015-09-08 05:16 pm (UTC)I do have one request, though. If people make prompts for Trespasser, could you put that in its own category? I'm probably going to be able to play it almost immediately, but I know that not everyone will, and I think it'd be easier for people to avoid spoilers that way.

Date: 2015-09-12 02:45 am (UTC)Going to a concert tonight, will tipsily update spreadsheet when I get back late.
All of these prompts are amazing *hearteyes*
Re: Prompts spreadsheet!
Date: 2015-09-12 09:57 pm (UTC)how's it going?
Date: 2015-09-10 05:51 am (UTC)*indecent. It's all very indecent.
