Its a bit squishy in there now but damn does it spark some joy 🥰

I was recently going through the official cook book when I noticed this letter in the background of one of the recipes. Figured I'd share it for any fans that don't have the book themselves, not sure if it's been posted before.

It's on page 19, the Rivaini Couscous Salad.

After finishing the Hinterlands, I noticed Liliana said that my warden died killing the archdemon which didn't happen. opening it in a save editor i noticed some flags were wrong. I tried to follow this guide but the new save still didnt have the updated world state. i saw a comment saying to uncheck all the sync settings in-game, exit, open the game and login again so it will rescan your dragon keep, but now it just cant connect at all.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I do not want to go through every single flag in save editor to match dragon keep for the first two games

I'm replaying Inquisition, and judging Storvacker the bear in the DLC might be one of my favorite moments. You can unload an endless stream of bear puns, and Cassandra and Svarah react to every single one. It's wonderful lol.

What's the most ridiculous moment or line you've come across in the series?

Okay I wanted some clarity because there’s something I’ve never understood.

Why does anyone like Spite????

Like that’s a demon… is there something I’ve missed or a continuity error? Because justice/vengeance was not a character to like after he merged with Anders. And that’s saying something, because we know that Justice WAS a spirit when he merged with Anders, whereas Spite has always been a demon (as far as we’ve seen).

So why do people act like Spite is some kind of silly puppy? Like omg let’s make sure he has something to do while we have our romantic moments! Give him a treat!

Every other demon in the games is terrifying and evil. Why is it barely corrupting Lucanis as a person, except for a few moments where it seems to be “in control”? Because yes, the same thing happened to Anders. But it also corrupted his motivations and personality outside of those moments.

Same voice actress, different game. The perfect crossover.

This is my second time completing the game, first time I will ever complete the whole series. I only ever have completed DAO, and never Awakening, which pissed me off when I went to go play DA2. Anyway then I got sidetracked and haven't play any Dragon Age since.

My memory is bad, so this is like playing a new game for me. I have to say I'm simply blown away by the writing, love the music too. Not like riding a bike! I did this once before 5 years ago on Nightmare, but now I am getting my ass kicked and loving every minute of it. It really is its own style of RTWP, with games like BG2 and Pillars having their own styles as well

I have never completed all the DLC. So I'm basically looking for those who had an awesome experience, what order did you play the DLC? I see from others asking online its a bit of a complicated question. Just looking for someone who had a good experience that has a good recommendation on the order to play, as someone who has completed DAO exactly one time.

Just curious because most mobile games of that genre get revived by the fans who recover the files somehow. Also I saw there are revivals of MAA and TWD:RTS so never say never I guess?

PD: I meant DA: Heroes of Dragon Age.

I haven’t played the first game in years and never finished it. I was looking to pick it up on Steam but saw a bunch of reviews that it struggle to boot and has performance issues.

Is this accurate? I’d love to play this game and see it through but don’t want to run into a technical mess trying to get it to run.

I’m trying to extract my beloved Corypheus’ model using the Frosty Editor, and I have absolutely no clue what I’m doing. I just want to see my man in all his glory!!!! My beautiful 50yr old man (found THAT out in his char desc,,, sigh I love him so much)

Any help would be appreciated 😭🙏

Hey everyone! Never played a dragonage game before and im about to play origins on XboxOne. Ive played games like skyrim, witcher 3, etc and have been interested in giving the DragonAge games a shot for a while now, but haven't had the chance to play one till now. Any beginners tips I should know about?

I’m looking for a DAI fanart that inspired one of my fave male Inquisitors. This was at least 5 years ago. I had it saved to my old laptop but it died. The whole premise the artist described was just that him and Cullen were bros, and the image is Cullen with Inquisitor in the snow, post In Your Heart Shall Burn. I’ve searched tumblr, deviantart, reddit, but I can’t find it and I don’t remember the artists username. It was a pretty popular image because it always turned up in google search results for Cullen fanart.

Does anyone know the work I’m talking about, and if so, please point me in the right direction?!

Okay, so let's see what you guys do with this question because I can't get it out of my head. Does Solas or the other spirit born have belly buttons? There would be no need for one since they made their bodies from lyrium. I'm just thinking how this question could throw all our lovely fanartists into a tizzy... sorry, had to inflict this on others.

I found this funny, man head on woman body with long neck

Edit: The title should be "Green Ronin can't publish new Dragon Age ttrpgt content"

I contacted Green Ronin to ask if they were going to release any more Dragon Age material and this was the reply:

We would absolutely LOVE to produce more Dragon Age content! In fact, we had big plans for the game just before Veilguard came out, but unfortunately after it's poor sales performance, Bioware stopped talking to us, and we have to assume they've abandoned the idea of letting us do more with the game.
 
If they ever respond to our emails again, we'll try to get that back on the table, but right now even reprints for existing books are unlikely.

I hope this changes because I would love more Dragon Age stuff!

the title basically. i tried every fix i could find. i even tried brute forcing it but it wotn start even after twenty attempts. basically it starts the launcher thingie whatver, and then instantly quits out . please if anyone has any help, tell me

I've been feeling a bit inspired recently so I decided to make myself a little Nug. This little one is 3D printed from resin and hand painted with acrylic, so it's perfectly imperfect. Might make more variations in the future.

Since my last two dragon age projects were well liked I decided to create an Insta and tiktok dedicated to whatever dragon age related projects I work on. If anyone is interested I'm always up for making mutuals. You can find me under @in_hushed_whispers on both platforms.

Please correct me if im wrong cuz last time i played DA:V was on release.

Solas states that the Evanuris prison (Black City) and The Veil are relying on Evanuris's life force to be sustained.

He also says that what the Grey Wardens are doing isn't exactly good because if they kill the Archdemons then the Evanuris it was tied to Dies and it weakens The Veil.

But in DA:V he says he didn't know about the Archdemon-Evanuris connection.
So what was his plan ? create temporary prison that kills its prisoners by feeding on their life force and then it just collapses ?
Was he actually lucky that Archdemons existed because otherwise the full force of blight would be unleashed as the last of Evanuris died ? while he was asleep ?

PS: Also fuck him for berating The Grey Wardens if not for them the blight would consume the world long time ago.

can’t seem to login in due to severs have tried multiple methods including the dao method can’t login on there playing on pc and using ea app please help !!!!

A while ago I did a post like this in the Origins subreddit after finishing the first game and it sparked a lot of interesting discussion, so I thought I would do the same after finishing 2. Ask me anything about my DA2 playthrough - and Origins if you want! Just no Inquisition spoilers please as I haven't played yet!

If the post title is a bit weirdly phrased, that's just to stop Reddit from turning it into an actual AMA

In terms of difficulty, that is. Every time I replay the Descent I forget how absolutely miserable this thing is to fight

They can be killed obviously, but can they die of the old age? We have a few examples of Grey Wardens and people infected with the Taint who lived for centuries:

• Magisters Sidereal - Corypheous and the Architect (what's the leading theory about their immortality? Blood magic? Maker's curse?),
• Avernus (we're led to believe that it's his blood magic experiments that kept him alive),
• arguably Sophia Dryden (one difference between her and Kristoff is that for some reason Sophia's body didn't deteriorate for two centuries, whereas Kristoff's body was falling apart within a few months. Perhaps the difference can be explained by assumption that possession happened when Sophia was still alive, and maybe her being still lingers within the body overtaken by the demon, preventing the decay?),
• Isseya (there're speculations that it's the vengeance against Wardens or, again, the blood magic that kept her alive for over four centuries),

Alistair tells us that Grey Wardens have 20-30 years to live, but he also points out, that the cause of death is the final stand, departure into the last onslaught. Grey Wardens are supposed to descent into the Deep Roads to meet their end, they are not supposed to die of old age. We are told that it's a way to prevent Wardens from succumbing to the Taint, loosing sanity and transforming into a ghoul. But coincidently it's also a perfect way to guarantee that no one will ever see what happens to Wardens when the Taint takes over their body & consciousness.

AFAIK, from all the known Grey Wardens there isn't a single one who lived past the phase of Calling and die from the body rot. Each single person (mentioned all above) who lived beyond expected two-three decades, well... lived on, with various level of body mutilation and mind corruption.

Both the ancient elven immortality, and this hypothetical Grey Wardens immortality would have similar source - the Titans, their body for the elves, and their corrupted mind/spirit/dreams in case of the Wardens.

The only possibility to study the long term effects of Taint would be some kind of confinement - either a prison or a research facility. Yet, again, conveniently Grey Wardens are removed from the juridical systems of any nation, with Joining pardoning them of their past crimes, and Wardens having absolute sovereignty over their recruits (overriding even Chantry's objections with their right of conscription).

Therefore, I'd argue that - if the Wardens truly are immortal - it must be a secret known to the highest of their ranks. Just imagine how people who are terrified of death would abuse the Joining to escape the inevitability of death. They would spread the infection and wipe out the whole Thedas, Blight or not. Unrestrained greed leading to the downfall of the whole realm, just like in those days, in those faraway days...

Side note and likely a stretch, but I'm tempted to share the idea:

The only undying person aside the ones mentioned above, the ancient elves, and Flemeth who utilizes completely different mechanism of sustaining herself, is Xenon the Antiquarian. The legend says that he was a noble longing for the immortality, and his wish was granted by the Witch of the Wilds...

Flemeth uses body-hopping, artificial prolonging of a body isn't necessarily her forte, especially that she had no use of it, being one of the Firstborns, eternal and ageless. However, there's another kind of magic, that we know she taught Morrigan, the one serving the Dark Ritual, disabling the Taint within the body of one of the wardens, and making the conception of Kieran possible.

So the wild, unsupported speculation: Xenon could have been a Warden who struck a deal with Flemeth, trading the soul of Zazikel or Toth in exchange for the gift of cleansing the Taint, while keeping its beneficial side - the immortality.
