Man, I fucking miss Blackwall. Nobody lied like that man. Solas was all half-truths and mysterious double meanings like a poetic fortune cookie. But Blackwall just straight-up pulled shit out of his ass with 0 fucks give.

Wings of Valor for valor type of shit

When the Inquisitor first finds him, this asshole’s out in some random field, bullshitting a bunch of wannabe Grey Wardens like it’s amateur hour at Liars’ Anonymous. Out here cosplaying with 0 shame

Varric gets suspicious, starts poking at him like, “Hey, buddy, what’s your deal?” and Blackwall just hits him with a “No.” Like, not even a good lie just “No.” Sus as hell, and somehow everyone’s like, “Seems legit, carry on”

Absolute icon. A lying sack of shit, but our lying sack of shit. Man deserves a medal for audacity alone

No, Bioware, you don't get to try to be cute and make jokes in-game about Rook eavesdropping on the companions' conversations when you're the ones who made the (debatable) creative decision not to let us actually have a proper conversation with our companions and get to know them by asking them questions like we were able to in every previous game.

"Hahaha, Taash just called you out on eavesdropping. Look how witty and meta we are." Okay, but how else are we supposed to learn anything about our companions?

oh skyrim, there could never be a game like you.

idk why but it's such a comfort game. just wandering the valleys and mountains, exploring ancient dungeons. you know the intro quests by heart, but it still feels so good and new to do them. the music is so calming. there is always, still, so much to do. you never run out of quests. 10 years later and you find new quests.

it's impossible to finish skyrim.

An insult I took as a badge of pride. The Dread Wolf inspired hope in my friends, and fear in my enemies. Not unlike Inquisitor, I suppose. And now you know. What is the old Dalish curse? May the Dread Wolf Take You?

there can be no turning back.

A timeline for everyone who started following along late/doesn't want to read all the posts (full version is tagged in order in my pinned post)

I had this idea and enough ppl seemed in for it that I did the test round, in which Crow managed to set the house on fire before the first night was over, while attempting to make dinner. Everyone just kinda let the fire burn until Zavala ran over and suddenly they had the sense to put it out. I had to interfere to stop Crow from burning to death, and now he's scared of fire. Kinda inconvenient for a Solar Hunter. Drifter slept through the whole thing until he went inside, walked back out, and caught fire in the backyard. Saladin watched him burn for a bit before I made him put, and either Zavala came over to help or I made Zavala cone over to help.

bonus image bc this one's just funny

By the end of the test round we're up to 3 interferences. I couldn't get the cheat codes to cooperate so at that point they were also all in a one bedroom house.

Next round, we just had them wander around the new house to see what happened. So what happened?

Osiris and Eris played chess alone,

we got the start of what is now a small collection of characters dancing

and drifter pissed off ikora bc ofc he did

(I have to split this into another post atp for the image limit, give it a moment)

me when i spend a long time drawing something that really does not look good at all and is honestly too ugly to want to share with anybody but i still recognize that it was worth the time and effort because i still gained practice and experience from it that will contribute toward improving my skills
