Checking what spells Solas casts as a companion. Some names are familiar from the game, but these deal more damage and mostly have unique animations. Except for the heal and teleport. Fun fact: Anaris, Hezenkoss, some revenants, and venatori magisters use the same teleport. Target direction and damage aren't shown because they need to be triggered separately, which is beyond my skill level at the moment.

I remember seeing a post here saying that boob shaped armor will kill women instead of protecting them. I love it how DA just throw this on people's faces 😂😂😂

There's also that lovely body with an "inappropriate piece of armor" in the storm coast with another great point about women in armor in literature, movies or videogames

Iron Bull: Hey, that's some good armor.

Cassandra: Are you referring to me?

Iron Bull: Some high-ranking women wear ornamental crap with tits hammered into it.

Iron Bull: One good shot, and all that cleavage gets knocked right into the sternum. Real messy.

Iron Bull: Good on you for going practical.

Cassandra: I aim to please.

Iron Bull: Leaves something to the imagination, too.

I never checked what Lucanis says about Solas in the finale, other than the romance lines. Now I'm curious to check all the possible options.

Lucanis: Elgar'nan's life is measured in hours. As for Solas… ---------- If Rook is romancing Lucanis. Lucanis: He used blood magic against you. He betrayed us. Lucanis: He pulled you into that prison. Lucanis: I leave his fate to you, but I will not let him hurt you. Rook: Lucanis. ---------- Illario is forgiven. The Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest is completed. Lucanis: It's been asked if he can see reason. Lucanis: Solas has proven his word cannot be trusted. Why give him the chance to prove it again? Lucanis: But then, I gave that chance to Illario. Is there hope for him, or was I foolish to think so? ---------- Otherwise. Lucanis: If any deserve to set his fate, it's you. But if it were me… Lucanis: I would not banter. I would not give room for lies and false promises. Find your opening and strike. If the player saved Treviso Lucanis: There has been enough suffering in the wake of this. If the player saved Minrathous. Illario is imprisoned. The Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest is completed. Lucanis: The cost of mercy is too high when others might die in its wake. If the player saved Minrathous. Lucanis' personal quest is complete. The Regrets of the Dread Wolf quest is not complete. Lucanis: If only one of you leaves this alive, make sure it's you. Bonus cut line from Spite. Lucanis (Spite): Make. The liar. Bleed.

Alright, now you can read what they say and even hear a little.

There's a quest in Arlathan to destroy the blighted deepstalker nest that's not not in the journal or on the map. However, it can be completed.

If you cleared this nest, then after the quest Blood of Arlathan, three adventurers will appear in the forest cooking a deepstalker near the campfire.

In the files, these guys are marked as an easter egg. Most likely, this is a reference to Dungeon Meshi.

They also have banter codenamed "dragonsnack" where they discuss the events in Arlathan Crater. Originally this was a conversation between the Veil Jumpers in their camp.

Guard: He wanted to strengthen his Archdemon by feeding it Dalish elves. Guard: "Noble blood for a noble beast," or something like that. Mercenary: That's vile. Guard: Does it really make a difference, you think? Elven blood? Mercenary: Does it matter if it does? Sacrificing people is still a horrible thing to do. Guard: Anyway, he was telling them how disappointed he was in them for letting the Dalish escape. Guard: And then he said: "This is merely a test of resolve. Mine, and yours." Guard: Mostly theirs, I think, because then he asked the Venatori to give themselves to the dragon. Mercenary: He asked and they just… did it? Guard: Some seemed eager. Not all of them, though. I thought I caught blood magic in the air. Mercenary: How did you get close enough to hear all of that? Guard: Oh, I was… uh, I had to relieve myself in the bushes and when I was done there were Venatori everywhere. Guard: So I just stayed in the bushes. The whole time. Mercenary: You're lucky you weren't caught. Guard: Almost was. Sneezed once. Venatori mages were using some magical powders, and the wind blew it over to me. Guard: Thank the creators the dragon was louder.

Yesterday I wrote about some cut romance lines. Today I broke my game, but triggered them.

UPD. I made a mod that triggers these lines.
