Just to point out: in April 2015 when I made the Tom of Finland -liveried Baltic Queen image, it was sailing on the Helsinki-Tallinn route - thus the livery being doubly appropriate.

Is it okay if I instead image Hawke and his (or her, if you prefer) love interest sneaking there during the night for… you know… just for thrill of it?

ah ah, feel free to imagine anyone you like! It doesn’t matters, really. :)

A thought I had when playing the other day: Since people are made tranquil by severing their connection to the Fade, what would happen if a tranquil physically entered the fade through a Fade rift? Could that potentially restore the tranquil's connection to the Fade and thus cure tranquility?

I imagine that if it was safe (I was always under the assumption that natural rifts, versus the one the Inquisitor opens, are dangerous to enter) that walking through a rift could cure Tranquility. Since the Tranquil’s connection is physically reconnected during the Fadewalk.

However, since the connection isn’t really reestablished through a link, but the Tranquil is just physically stepping into the Fade, I’m not sure it actually would work. Basically it could be like Karl and be that as long as they are in the Fade, they can use and feel their magic again. Though as soon as they leave the Fade, their connection leaves them again.

Which is possible, as Tranquility is reversed through spirit or demon possession. Demons and Spirits possess beings by creating a connection through the Veil between the possessed and Spirit. Possessions or even Spirit “touches” are really just Spirits tying beings up on a puppeteer’s string and through those strings the Tranquil renew their connection (and in possessions controlled), so without that help to reconnect with the Fade it might not reversible.

I lean more towards that it wouldn’t work, simply because even Qunari and Dwarves who go into the Fade (using physical or unnatural means) are not connected to the Fade again. Even though there seems to be a hint that Dwarves once were (Qunari might never have been). Of course mages are different from Dwarves though and perhaps they can reestablish the link without a spirit’s help?

Petrice?

Send me a Character and I’ll tell you if I would sleep with them

Not Enough Alcohol in the World || No || Maybe if I were wasted || Maybe ||Eh…Sure || Yes || TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF NOW!

Nope. I’m attracted to her, but her personality is a huge nope. Enough that I couldn’t even say just once or one night.

Just a small thing that kees bugging me: you keep writing the name of the country as Fereldan, with an A, when in the game it's Ferelden, with an E. "Fereldan" is the term used of a person native of Ferelden.

Shit, I’m sorry. I actually hadn’t noticed or realized that there was different spellings for Fereldan and Ferelden. Grammar and spelling are sadly not one of my greatest attributes, no matter how I try. I’m really sorry and hopefully can keep this in mind for the future.

My "prime" Warden, Sisu Tabris, was (is) a bisexual male preferring men. Prior to the events of Origins, he and Soris enjoyed a long-running sexual relationship, which was four parts genuine affection and one part Sisu taking advantage of the fact that Soris hero-worshipped him. Later in life Sisu came to realise that he had, in a small degree, abused Soris (though mostly the relationship was consensual on both parts), which is one of his greatest regrets.

Tragic backstories, Creators how I both love and hate them. This is a magnificent one!

Gloriel Aeducan is bisexual female preferring men. Before Origins she had quite a few relationships among men and women of lower castes, the longest running one was Gorim and she believed it was something that was built on a true mutual love. However, it became apparent to her later that as much as Gorim’s affections were real, there was obviously some hope for a caste hop there too and it she also realized that she was more attracted to the allure, the temptation of dabbling in lower castes than actual affections for Gorim or any of the men or women. By being brought to the surface, that inclination is removed and suddenly she sees that she had been in the wrong.

The problem with all this is that avsolutely none of it is in anyway seen in the game(s). In them Loghain comes across...

Since you play as a Grey Warden, for the player Loghain, who basically just ignores the entire Blight, sure seems to be an a-hole. There has to be a villain in the game, of course. And the Loghain in the game is not the Loghain from the book, he's changed a lot, and not at all in a positive way. But if you take your time to ask around, or even talk to him if you decide to recruit him, you can get to know a lot about him. He tells things that can change your opinion, but since only a few players let him alive, he is pretty much a hated character.

I don't say you can get to like him only from the game, not reading the books, but the game provides enough information that can help you see Loghain's actions from a different point of view.

Oh well, its been a while since I've actually read the codex, but thanks for the clarification. Although in my defense, the sloth demon does admit right before the boss battle with him that he really didn't try too hard and he'd do better if we just go back to the Waking Nightmares.

The most difficult assumption for some who study demons to overcome is the notion that a sloth demon is, in and of itself, slothful. If that were so, it seems highly unlikely that any such demons would cross the Veil into our own world, or once here would fight to possess any creature with a will of its own—and we know both these things to not be the case. Certainly, some demons are lazy and complacent, but who knows? Perhaps these creatures even cultivate such a reputation.
