My memories of Orzammar are a bit sketchy. I was like, IS IT OVER YET? Deep roads, man. I don't remember who I sided with in Orzammar. I'd have to look at my Keep. I literally had to write down things so I wouldn't forget them before I finished inputting data to the keep. The game just went on for so long and I missed a bunch of side quests and things so half the time I looked at the keep and was like, WHO IS THIS PERSON? I also forgot to recruit Leiliana...I thought I got her in Redcliffe and not Loethering. I also wasn't able to recruit Sten. Wow. I'm a failure.
Also, I just discovered I never joined your ping group for your profile shop. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?
I actually liked the companions in Origins more than my Warden...is that bad? I just didn't really grow too attached to her to be honest. I actually am more attached to default Hawke than I am to my Warden, I feel like Hawke had more of a personality than my Warden.
I dunno why but I'm like super attached to my Cousland Warden more than any of my characters. T-T Probably cause of all the feels attached because it was my first DA character.
I need to find screens of my Hawke, I really liked what I did with her.
LAVELLAN DA:I CHARACTER
She's actually the second character I made for playthrough , she's doomed with the Solas romance.
Her marking is hidden a bit under her left eye (Looking at her should be right)
For me Hawk was the weakest of all the playable characters. He (I had a mel one) never really grew to me and I never liked Hawke a lot. My warden I allways loved dearly ^^ and still really pitty he had no on screen time in any of the following games. I really hope for a DLC were you can play the Warden (if survived, for others another Warden Commander/Alistair/Logain depending on decissions) but I don't think that will happen.

I enjoyed Orzammar until the Deep Roads, mostly because I like Dwarven architecture. O: My friends had the same issue as you though, with Sten and Leliana. It seems to be a common thing, I guess. xD
[edit]
WOW I JUST SAW YOUR LAVELLAN AND SHE'S SUPER CUTE!!!!!!!
I can't currently get a picture of my Warden, but she was a dalish elf named Elise. ;w; She was a rogue, and she romanced Alistair.
Inquisitor: Laurel Lavellan
She was my Solas romance inquisitor. Love her to pieces. (tbh I love all my inquisitors omg) She was my third inquisitor, but the first file I beat DAI on. p:
Inquisitor: Athesa Lavellan
She's my Cullen playthrough that I still need to beat. :"| She was my first inquisitor, but I wound up ditching this playthrough to get through with Solas whoops.
....if you can't tell, I adore elves, and mages.
As for my Hawke, I always play as default. c: Romanced Fenris on my first playthrough.
DESPERATELY LOOKING TO BUY:
I've played them all un-modded too. XD It's too much of a pain on the mac. (And in regards to your spoiler about the Adamant/Warden Quest in DA:I quest I feel the same way. XD)
By the way... More screenies. <3 And pictures of my non-default Hawkes (I have 5 default girlies and 2 default guys... I had to vary my playthroughs a bit so I knew who was doing what). </3
Andromeda (left) and Amrynn (right)

Onto Wardens... (No screenies, just the basic pics they give you since I don't want to piss off my computer). XD
Serenity Amell, Mage (Alistair)

Lylie Cousland, Warrior... Head-Cannon Warden

In my version of events she romanced Nathaniel Howe, I was sad that he wasn't an option in Awakening (and that you couldn't romance anyone, even if you refrained from doing so in DA:O...) ;)
Linnea Mahariel, Rogue (Alistair)

Kaori Cousland, Rogue (Alistair)

Andromeda Cousland, Warrior (Leliana)

Pfft... Just realized I had an Andromeda Hawke and Cousland. Whoops. (I do remember being a bit tipsy and struggiling to come up with a name when I made her)... XP
Eira Caron, Rogue... Another Head-Cannon for Awakenings (Anders)

And, of course a handful of my inquisitors that I have pictures of... A few of the ones I had going a month ago got deleted... I got bored. D:
(New today) Ceren Lavellan, Dual-wielding Rogue (Solas)


Revassan Lavellan, Two-Handed Warrior (Dorian)

Ena Lavellan, Archer (Solas)

Efa Lavellan, Mage (Cullen)

So, yeah... All my non-elves went bye-bye. I do have a human male romancing Cass though. His name is Lyon. I might be able to get a few pictures of him in the next few days. He's in the middle of the whole Adamant thing. So, I don't wanna deal with him right now. ;)
I usually play as archers and mages too. XD I'm also really bad at hitting things. With Revassan I taunt things and let them run at me (and just counter when they hit me)...
That bummed me out too. I still haven't finished the game with Linnea yet for that reason (thinking about telling him to stay in the wardens to be honest). I have Alistair as king (married to a Cousland) in most of my playthroughs because I prefered to play as humans in DA:O for some reason... o.o I did have an elf romancing Zev at one point, but I don't know where she got off to.
Since DAI is the only one I've fully played on my PC, it's the only one I've been able to mod and I think my mods are for the greater good! I mean look at this:
Freckly Cullen is the only Cullen I will accept :3c
So cute! X3 <3 I'll be able to put mods on the games once I switch to my desktop (I need it to come back in stock so I can buy it though). I haven't even checked what mods are out there for DA:I yet. :o I should do that. XD
I also need to get pictures of my fancy new dyed armors. <3 Though, I'm saving all my dragon materials on my Ena playthrough for some really epic armor. <3
Quick personal ping. I'm currently trying to work on wrangling some CW items for TCs. If anybbody sees these for sale anywhere, would they give me a poke?
Also, I'm more than willing to help anyone else out who is searching for TC items as well.
I know you've been after the mage boots longer so if I see them I'll let you have first dibs. Also, I wish I still had that dragon background you are after so I could sell it to you. Idrk what I did with mine actually.
For me it varies as to what class I play in a game. I was a dual-wielding rogue in Origins (which was a horrible life decision) a mage in DA II, and my abandoned Inquisition playthroughs have been mostly mage, with I think one or two archers. I think they really stepped up dual-wielding in Inquisition. At first I was such a baby and was like, oh god am I close enough?

Nope gotta get closer. Once I manned up I was like

I'll keep an eye out for those CW's for you. :3 XD I seem to differ playing styles by game. DA:O I found that I'm best at playing as a dual-wielding rogue... Even if I fuss at my character a bit more. DA2 I'm better as a mage or a warrior (though I hate having to chase things across the battlefield). DA:I I LOVE playing as an archer or a mage (usually a knight enchanter).
I need to get a comic strip of a gif made of what I feel like the usual enemy must feel like after trying to attack a knight enchanter... (For Inness's pet profile). I imagine it goes something like this: Oh! Look a mage! I'll go attack it! They don't do well against frontal assaults. What are they going to do? Mind-blast me? attacks, knight enchanter draws spirit blade Oh crap! Run away! Run away! D: too late, dead <3
DA:I Prologue Spoiler ~ Just in case
Ceren is my dual-wielder, and I'm having fun with her so far too. XD I have the same issue. We'll see how I do fighting the big pride demon at the end of the prologue. XD I might have to take over Solas and let the PS4 control Ceren. I had fun using stealth to sneak up on the wisps or whatever they're called. XD
What specialization are you going to do with your inquisitor? :3 I'm debating what to do with Ceren. Efa is a knight enchanter, Revassan is a champion, Ena is an assassin, and Lyon is a knight enchanter. (I'll be branching out with my mage specializations once I get my computer). <3
I'm also trying to decide if I need another cosplay HA for mask. XD
Seriously I think the lot of us are after the Adept set. Who released them? T-T When I have more funds I'm totally doing more DA themed CW releases. (Like the ones you mentioned! c: )I wish I could just make them myself LOL.
I bet. I had owned the armor once a while back before I actually played DA and when I found I couldn't really use it I sold it. I actually just managed to get another copy of the top in a trade last week! I don't know anything about the set tbh. I think or know something about it, I feel like it's come up before.
OH GOD. I totally forgot to mention my one true grievance in terms of having Cassandra in my party (haven't recruited anyone extra yet) while being a dual wielding rogue. I always give warriors the grappling hook skill thing and usually it isn't a problem when you are playing ranged. However, I'll be running to go attack an enemy and then Cass just drags them away from me. I'm like, DUDE.
I'm most likely going the assassin route tbh. I've never actually managed to follow through on the steps to achieve a specialization for any of my partial playthroughs.
I really do want to try out the warrior class at some point, would force me to change up my choice of party. I usually go with two warriors and a rogue, or two warriors and a mage. I'm contemplating what I'll go with partywise once I've got people other than Cass, Solas, and Varric to choose from. Having two warriors tends to give me less to worry about when I play as a ranged Inquisitor. I feel like three melee fighters will be ridiculous, but I'll figure that out as I go.
ahhh you're too sweet. ;_______; i actually had both the mage boots and top at some point, and sold them both?!?! BECAUSE I'M STUPID. It's the same story with the M8 Armor. T____T
I wish a lot of the tribute items could have been unlimited batches. T-T I'd have crazy full TCs if that were the case. So many things I want.
OHOH! I know what you can help me with! NEED TC IDEAS FOR HALLA! Thinking Nature themed/elvish items maybe? .__.''
Ugh. XD I understand that completely. I stopped giving grappling chain to my warriors. I told Cass she was in timeout.
Assassin is a fun one. I might go with an alchemist for Ceren... I'm not sure yet though. XD I might just make another assassin... Or maybe I'll respec her and play as an archer/artificer. I rarely take Varric (even though I love his character).
I've noticed for Revassan I tend to run around with Solas, Dorian, and one of my rogues (Sera typically). And I usually have Solas get about everything in the Spirit tree (so he can heal every once in a blue moon). Two handed warriors are easier (for me) than weapon and shield ones... My weapon and shield warrior got deleted because she pissed me off. X3 You could always take Viv out when you get your group's specializations, she kinda doubles as a ranged and melee fighter with the knight enchanter specialization. :D
XD Best. Comic. Ever. <3 I need to start saving money to commission DA CW's... I have a few in mind... XD
You got Halla?! Congrats! I'll see what I can come up with. I agree, nature/elven themed items. I put and both in Lethallan's TC.
and I think are LoTR tributes, but there's those damned trees in the Brecillian (not how it is spelled at all...that is the name, right?) forest in Origins.
There's tons of stuff in Esther's shop that could work.
Yeah I always felt bad for the Horse master Dennett... lol
YES I KNOW! So many great things can come from that series for CWs.
Yerp! Made them a Silver Neela since I kinda already have a glacier one LOL. Those are some good ideas! c: gets working on the TC
I keep an eye open but the Elven ornated sword, the shoulder pad and the Leather Armor are hard to come by. I am looking for that 3 for ages now and I guess all 3 are 1 batch items =(
I am allways or most the time a rouge myself and then go with Varric, Dorian and Cass or Cass, Blackwall and Dorian.. somhow I cannot warm up with Solace.. and I am extrmly good in pissing him of with nearly everything I do XDDD.. I really get the impression he hates Collin (my current Inquisitor and sadly I missed the name in a clearing not to long ago)
