No, no, nooo, not next month, THIS MONTH: Initial release date: March 21, 2017. /HYYYYPE

I'm buying mine this weekend, ehehehe.

Oops! I had a brain blip. XD I think I meant to type next week! ordered his last week, and I think I'm picking it up from Gamestop on my way home from work on Tuesday. c: Oh gosh. I'M SUPER EXCITED AND I WANT TO PLAY IT NOW! But, my ME3 playthrough will have to hold me over until then. XD

o: I was spotty with the hallas last year, they started when and I did the first thread with the Nerdquisition a few years back. c: If you see one posted in the Masq thread the goal is to be the first one to quote the post with it to earn some steamwork trinkets. <3

OMG! Now I'm excited for Masquerade! :D

YES! Good! <3 Survival, Masq, and Morostide are my favorite events! They were pretty formative for the Nerdquisition!

Dual hosting is a go. Maybe I'll actually post?

YES! I think it looks great. Can't wait to show off the thread layout for this year! <3

Hoo boy, it seems like it's been over a week since I last logged in. My show kept me pretty busy and I went awol from the whole internet. Back now, right in time to prep for Masq

Woooo, gettin' ready for Maaaasq! <3

-walks in with their new HA for the Masq- How do I look guys? -turns around slowly for the full view-

and omg I've gotten back into Fallout 4 and my artwork.

Lookin' good! Sorry haven't been on much -- STILL unpacking! lol

This is the thread I mentioned -- although everyone is probably on the group masq thread until it ends...

Hey guys! Hope everything is going well. <3 I should be around a bit more. c: I'm trying to come up with Vesnali thread ideas. Maybe something with Easter eggs in different Bioware games? o:

That sounds really awesome! I can't wait to see what you come up with. :D

If it goes like Masq and there are new battle foes, then I'll be scarce again -- sorry. Battling with over 20 pets takes up pretty much all of my online time. lol

On a DA note, in my latest Inq. file (OMG Mom! How many times are you gonna play that game?!) I haven't been able to commit to Solas or Cullen -- so am sorta stringing them both along. Any tips to keep this going? I didn't bring Solas with to the ball since I wasn't sure how to play it... lol Still have the fade, etc to do and have spent all my time on side quests to avoid making decisions.

Man, Masq never lasts long enough in my opinion :c I should try and plan some sort of dancing contest for next year because I still need 3000+ trinkets to grab everything I want from the Menagerie

Thanks! Hopefully and I can think up something fun!

No worries dear, we understand! c: Get some extra battles in for me! XD I need to actually get into battling more.

Oh, nice! c: That's a really hard pick (I do still love Solas's tragic romance, but obviously I'm kinda partial to Cullen). c; I think there might be mods out there to let you romance multiple people in a playthrough, if you're playing on PC. <3 That would ease the choice. XD

I agree! I'm always behind on collecting trinkets (Masq's timing never helps me out either, it always happens when I'm super busy). Contests are definitely a good draw though! I'd recommend trying to do tiered prizes (and have prizes for people that have reached 50 dances, 100 dances, ect...). It worked pretty well for a friend this past Masq. c:

Nope. I'm on a playbox console, not pc. :( Whenever I start a file without choosing ahead of time who I am going to romance, I end up torn between those two. Strange since I have so much more fun when I romance Dorian, Sera, or the Bull...

I do think the funniest scene in the series -- of all time -- is when you're w/ the Bull and Cullen (followed by your other advisors) walk in... ROFLMFAO!!!!

1000% the best part of the Bull romance for sure. I love how awkward it is for Cullen & Cassandra but Leliana and Josie are just kinda like "Hey, how you doin?" about it. Lol. I'm trying (really hard actually) to FINALLY romance Blackwall. So far though, Cullen and Bull are winning. I swear it is instinct at this point. I haven't even finished my Solas romance yet on my other playthrough! Also, what is a playbox? O.O I thought maybe you meant an xbox but wasn't sure.

I'm doing one myself but let me know if I can help in anyway, even if it is only for a portion of it. :D I keep meaning to get on ME so I can take a picture of my fem Shep for you and I keep getting distracted by saving Thedas! (Again...again.) I swear I will get on at some point this week so I can show you my Deadpool version of Shepard. (No lie, I made her out to look like a love child between Morena Baccarin and Ryan Reynolds.) At the very least I am off on Friday so I can try to get on it then and take the pic if I don't get on before. Lol. I swear I am horrible at this.

[edit] Ok, has anyone else ever looked at Sera and said to themselves "This must be what it is like to romance Drew Barrymore?" because that is exactly who she looks like to me. I feel like it would 100% be her if she was in the DA world.

I use "playbox" to refer to xbox and/or any PS -- mostly because it drives my son and his friends insane. It has now become an ingrained habit. lol

Romancing Blackwall made him feel more real for me, but it was also really depressing -- even tho he has overcome so much from his past and strives to help others do the same.

I love Sera's reaction when she finds out you've been with Bull! (How can you even WALK?) I never thought of her as DB, but now I can't unsee it. lol I think you're right!

Ohhh. That makes sense. I work at GameStop and was super confused cuz like, I've heard of every system out there. I've owned most of them at one point in time, so I was like "....do what now?" Lol. I bet it drives them nuts, but that is half of the fun. :D

I JUST finally got him to accept the relationship and did his "explanations" quest (the whole time going "you a liar with a fabulous beard!" cuz I've played enough to know his backstory) last night. He FINALLY kissed her before I got off the Xbox and went to bed. (Takes longer to romance Bull and Cullen though.)

The look they give her when she asks is priceless, I'll give you that. Lol. It was even better for me, because I always romance him as a dwarf. :P So her "How can you even WALK?" question makes it even better. I've thought of her as DB since the first time I played, got super excited and thought maybe she did the voice (I mean, I never would have expected Freddy Prinze Jr to do Bull's voice) but sadly no. They don't even say they based her off of DB but I swear they did.

I LOVE romancing Bull as a dwarf! Like you say -- that makes it even funnier!

One thing I really did like about romancing Blackwall is you can see there are times when he comes close to telling you the truth. You can tell he's really torn up about it -- like when he shows you the site on the coast where he and the warden were jumped by darkspawn.

I liked finding out that spot had some significance to the story since I had noticed it before.

Oops! I wanted to write a bit more, but the ferret patting my leg is letting me know coffee is done brewing. He LOVES his coffee (well, creamer) first thing in the morning and he hates to wait. Thus, the pawing at my leg to alert me... lol
