It's funny that wolves are the predators of elks because. because- you know because

[chaifootsteps]

Regarding your ask about ships you hate, you mentioned Iron Bull/Dorian. Been a while since I've played DA:I so I don't remember much from it. Was there anything objectionable about the ship or is it more something that just wasn't your cup of tea?

Iron Bull/Dorian, like Stolitz, is one of those ships that will sucker you in with the fandom's interpretation of it. Iron Bull's actually pretty awful to Dorian, sexually harassing him at every turn and finally sleeping with him while Dorian, an alcoholic, is implied to be drunk. Even after they get together, Dorian never, ever seems happy about it and pleads with Bull not to bring up their sex life in public, which Bull ignores. Bull will sneer at the idea of love ("Love is all starlight and gentle blushes. Passion leaves your fingers sore from clawing the sheets," but if you know anything about Dorian, you know that he's heartbreakingly ravenous for a loving relationship based on more than just sex.

Unrelated to anything, Bull's also super transphobic but that's another topic for another time.

Most of the fandom justifications for this are pretty awful. A common one is that Dorian is closeted or just prejudiced against Qunari, but if Dorian's dating the Inquisitor -- even a Qunari Inquisitor -- his behavior is night and day. He's happy, other characters commenting on how much he's been smiling, and yes, joking openly about his sex life.

The fandom makes Bull out to be this respectful, careful Dom, but he picks your safeword for you and will continue to make passes at Dorian even if Dorian's dating the Inquisitor. Another big one that always gets missed (people don't usually pick it on the dialogue tree) is that if your Inquisitor romances Bull and asks if they can take a turn on top sometimes, he'll mock them and then refuse, not because it's not his thing, but because "this is what you need."

Hey hi hello!

I’m a character artist in the game industry working on a Dungeons & Dragons game at Hidden Path Entertainment, and my job title is literally Character Customization Lead. I’ve been working in games for over a decade, and a ton of that time has been spent working on character customization and leading teams of artists, designers, and engineers who are trying to make character creation work.

I too am extremely frustrated with these aspects of character customization in games, and I can shed a little more light on why this type of thing happens.

Ironically, character customization has gotten exponentially harder over the past couple decades, and we unfortunately can’t lean on a lot of the same techniques and tricks that were used in games like DA:I, Mass Effect, or even more recent stuff like Elden Ring most of the time. The technology to make BEAUTIFUL and WELL-CONSTRUCTED characters and the technology to make CUSTOMIZABLE characters are at odds with one another, and the gulf between expansive customization and good presentation gets wider every year.

There are basically two major techniques that go into customizing a character:

Swap parts

Customize parts in realtime

Swapping parts is relatively straightforward because you basically make sure that everything fits in the same spot, and you’re good to go. However, you also need to make sure that every single piece works with every other piece.

Making every piece with every other piece is already hard enough when you just have something like 10 torso armors and 10 gloves (100 permutations JUST for gloves and torso armor), but then you also have to make sure those also work with pants, boots, helmets, etc. This is definitely a solvable problem, but it becomes literally twice the work once you add in a second body shape. And if you add in another body shape, it keeps scaling linearly.

I had to construct Excel sheets with literally tens of thousands of entries to keep track of armor sets when I was working on the Neverwinter F2P MMO many years ago, and that type of work has never gone away. It’s unlikely to ever go away at any point.

Customizing parts in realtime is definitely possible, but look at how they accomplish this in things like the From Software games: altering the position of bones in the character rig is great for kinda general shapes like the length of limbs, but it will never offer the fine-grained control to allow for believable body shapes. You get body shape not just from the position of your joints, but also from muscle and fat deposits, changes to skeletal structure (thick or thin fingers or wrists, anyone?), and even posture or attitude. Accounting for a stereotypically masculine and stereotypically feminine body shape is already extremely hard using the same model, so adding in even more things like body weight makes it incredibly hard to find solutions that look even OKAY rather than GOOD.

Add to this the fact that the money guys are constantly demanding higher fidelity rendering, and every single little tweak and adjustment becomes an exercise in hiding your sins. With a preset face, for example, you’re going to get the best an artist can give you because it’s essentially locked down and can’t be squashed into a shape it wasn’t designed for. Add in the ability to move a nose around, and suddenly the publisher is asking why there are stretched textures on a character’s face. Add the ability to stretch an arm or something and the money guys are asking why the flowing, beautiful pattern on that armor looks squashed on a body it wasn’t designed to fit.

I, personally, would prefer that last bit wasn’t an issue. It’s solvable through good art direction and tight stylization, but some things are outside the control of the little people.

So yes, OP, you are correct in pointing out these flaws and omissions. I hope it helps a little to understand some of the context and difficulty, though.

This is something I’m actively working on every single day, and I’m staring down the barrel of multiple years of work for myself and literally a dozen other people just on my team. Many other folks in the industry are doing similar, and none of us are having a particularly good time with it because it’s such a huge collection of hard problems.

im a little bit mad at BG3's character creator, yes its really unique and detailed in ways that most games have never offered before but youre basically stuck with a preset face to colour in. games have let you fully customise faces since fucking 2005. why cant i choose my nose or eyebrows.

Simquisition - Part 2

l am back at last with part 2 an with Inquisitor Adaar who freshly finished the main game :)))

Part 1

Herah the Herald

She looks so angry and evil but she’s such a sweetheart I promise. 

Sims CAS traits: Self-Assured, Goofball, Outgoing, with the Friend of the World aspiration.

Herah: Josephiiiiine I am wearing heels!!!

Josephine: Inquisitor, you cannot wear a crop top to the Halamshiral gala! It is ei formal event!

Managed to make a pretty decent copy of her Antaam-Saar, it has the main idea behind it anyway. She wore that for half the game before switching to more intimidating gear, seen in the pic with Scout Harding. I imagine her preferring browns and yellows and earthy tones generally, but occasionally going full uncoordinated kaleidoscope (plaidweave was used in crafting her armor). Her work outfit is for manual work, painting, gardening, woodwork, restoration. I like the idea of her wearing a vitaar for Halamshiral.

Here is some trivia no one asked for

Age: 34

Family: Her parents live happily in the Free Marches (well, as happily as a couple of Vashoths in a human community can be but nothing new there). She’s been away with her mercenary company since her early 20s so she only got to see them sporadically. After the Inquisition is declared she doesn’t visit home at all, but after defeating Corypheus she finally pays them a visit. 

Reason for being at the Conclave: the canon reason, really. Her company was hired to be there. They had stayed away from the worst areas of the templar-mage conflict, so she was a bit wary of how a Tal-Vashoth mage might be perceived by the templars.

Class and specialization: Electricity rift mage. With the powers given by the Anchor she wanted to understand the Fade better. 

Short explanation of in-game decisions:

Champions of the Just:

Herah has never had to deal with Templars before. She was raised outside the circle and has been travelling all around with her mercenary company. Word of the tensions inherent in Circle Towers had reached her, but she’s never witnessed true templar powers at work. She imagined if they were strong enough to disrupt and cancel out magic like hers, they must be strong indeed. So when a decision had to be made, she decided to trust Cullen and go after the templars. In theory, it made a lot of sense. However, after witnessing what had become of them and how they fell into corruption, she decided they cannot be trusted on their own, so she conscripted them to the Inquisition.

Here Lies the Abyss:

Stroud left in the Fade, the Wardens banished. These heroics of theirs just went too far, playing with powers they do not understand.

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts:

All of the possible rulers are awful and manipulative, so they should be awful and manipulative together. She won’t favor any of them, they all deserve each other. 

What Pride Had Wrought:

No price is too high for the success of the Inquisition. She has mastered her magical powers, she has mastered the powers of the Fade, and now she will master the wisdom of the ancient elves to win this war for them. She is the one who has to do it. Not Morrigan, or anyone else.

A lot of these make sense based on her personality. She is very sure of herself and so she does not shy away from making radical decisions. What needs to be done now is always more important than dealing with the repercussions. Also a lot of them are made by my wanting to try out other game decisions and making up her personality afterwards who said that.

She also really enjoys being the Inquisitor. So many people around her treated her with fear and disdain, not reverence and she’ll be damned if she won’t have fun with this new status. Within limits, of course.

As usual, asks are open! 

For a lot of the inquisitors that follow I will have a lot less info, since it’s hard to come up with so many details and well, I’m only invested in some of them :)))))

But I like having this little system. 

Onwardssss!

Uff. Just got a lot of feelings about them recently. Uff.

[greypetrel]

Lady Inquisitor Cinnamon Roll

Yes, yes, more with Dragon Age, I'm using her to practice style and warming up. . Aisling Lavellan. - 27 years at the start of the Conclave. - Volounteered to go there herself: her Keeper said to want to peacefully retire and let the command of the clan to her, she was ready. She wanted to travel a little on her own, before settling down, see the world, prove herself, and thought a mage was the best person to attend talking on the Mage-Templars war. She got more than she bargained for. - Horse girl. Kind and shy, she feels better around animals, talks to the horses, loves to take care of them, and the hallas back home. A madgirl on her horse, she will learn herself trick riding, just watch her. (and Cullen and Dennet running after her scared she’s gonna break her neck) - Bisexual, her love language is physical touch, very touchy-feely. - Mage, later Knight-Enchanter ("Arcane Warrior!" she'd point out). Got a scare related to healing magic, she could learn Spirit Healing but has a block. Talented herbalist, will use elfroot for everything if she could, won’t stop talking about elfroot. - Has not many artistical talent, but she's a decent singer. Has a terrific memory for lyrics, will got stuck with tunes for days. - Her superpower is being able to nap whenever and WHEREVER she can. The inner circle has an ongoing pool for who can find her napping in the weirdest and most uncomfortable spot. - Varric nicknamed her "Lucky" out of envy for her napping powers: he found her soundly asleep in the Hinterlands, during a quick lunchbreak, snuggled between two rocks in full midday sunlight. - Sweet tooth: she loves desserts, citruses-flavoured ones being her very favourite. Won't refuse anything containing sugar, tho. - Can cook on a campfire. Totally inept at baking and with ovens in general. - Found an old Tevene grammar book accompanying her clan members to Wycome to trade. Bought the book. Had her clan learn the basics "in the worst case scenario". She went on studying on her own when she realised she liked the language. Dorian helped her get her grammar and pronounciation and vocabulary better, they soon started speaking a weird mix of Common Tongue and Tevene, hardly comprehensible to exterior ears. - Hates closed shoes, STRONGLY prefers elven leg-wraps. Wore heels at the Winter Palace because Leliana and Josephine forced her too, considered blackmailing Celene to make heels illegal. - Had one long relationship with a huntress in her clan, Ydun. She was her first love, after three years of pining -on Aisling’s side- they got together and stayed so for 10 years. The relationship was bad for both, Aisling couldn’t say no and Ydun is a tid-bit too assertive. They loved each other to bits, but hurt the other in the process, quarrelled a lot. The Keeper talked down Aisling from thoughts of bonding ceremonies every time. Aisling was the one to break it up, eventually, when she realised all their quarrels ended because she gave in even when she didn’t mean to. - Tried to hit on Cassandra, after the Seeker turned her down, Cullen got in and got the Inquisitor. - She and Dorian are what Hawke will dub the “Science bros”. They work extremely well together, Dorian theorizes and Aisling refines and puts in practice. Will experiment on everything. Solas most often jumps in (or is “involved” more or less against his will) to avoid they kill each other or make something explode. They eventually WILL make something explode. - Made friends with almost everyone, the great exception is Vivienne. Aisling respects her, can see where she comes from... Can’t really excuse the way the Enchanter treats Cole and herself, and the “I’m so envious you walked in the Fade physically” speech after Adamant. - Sided with the Mages, left Stroud in the Fade, saved the Chargers, kept Celene on the throne reuniting her with Briala because she couldn’t find it in her to like Gaspard or trust he wouldn’t have turned against the Marquise, Reabilitated the Wardens, saved the Elves in the Arbor Wilds, let Morrigan drink from the Well, decided to redeem Solas (if possible). She was merciful in judgement, the only person she executed was Erimond. - Disbanded the Inquisition, opened a clinic for ex Templars who wanted to quit lyrium with Cullen. As a covering for her Red Jenny activities.

Inquisitor Shiara Lavellan, Herald of Andraste

Here are some random things about her outfits: 

She loves old clothes and making something new from them so she often steals Solas’ shirts and jackets. Bonus if it has some fur. Fur is life.

Her hair has a life on it’s own so she tries to keep it short and she’s sure it’s possessed by a demon.

When they arrived at the Winter Palace Josie spent 2 hours just trying to pull her hair into a decent enough bun.

Her Halamshiral outfit has traditional elven patterns and colors, and leather and gold accessories. It’s cut low in the back and front too, to show all of her vallaslin. The skirt is divided, her thighs are visible whenever she takes a step. The dress’ only purpose is to piss off the Orlesians so it’s not a surprise that Josephine wanted to kill her with only a look when Shiara showed up in this instead of the uniform. 

She only wears her Inquisitor-armor when she has to attend some formal events. When she’s fighting she prefers light leathers and cotton shirts.

She has a necklace that Solas made her when they were traveling towards the Western Approach. It’s a wolf”s fang on a simple leather band. He said it’s an amulet to keep her safe and protect her from the dangerous corners of the Fade when she’s dreaming.

She wouldn’t wear shoes if it were not necessary, she loves running around barefooted in Skyhold and the campsites when they stop for a night somewhere to rest.

Her hair and clothes smell like burning wood and elderflower. 

She often borrows Solas’ clothes and gives them back only after she spent at least two days in them, only when his scent has worn off. When she can’t sleep next to him she always sleeps in his clothes. They try to keep their relationship secret, but it’s hard when the next thing is Shiara walking down the stairs before the Inquisitor’s throne to have breakfast in nothing but Solas’ woolen shirt and footwraps.

Hobbies: Likes to read, mainly adventure novels. Loves working in the garden at Skyhold

Favorite Sayings: Let’s be foolish

Style: Comfortable, well fitted, airy, bohemian

Greatest flaw: very indecisive

Best quality: Optimistic

Intellectual/Mental/Personality Attributes and Attitudes

Intelligence Level: not quite as smart as Dorian, but quite clever. Witty

Any Mental Illnesses?: Anxiety, is prone to panic attacks if he’s crowded or too stressed

How self-confident is the character?: He’s pretty confident, outwardly at least. When people start to get to know him more he feels like he’s really flawed and will shy away. He puts up walls by glazing over his personal issues in favour of focusing on others

Does the character seem ruled by emotion or logic or some combination thereof?: Mostly emotional, but he is very aware of the logical sides of arguments, which is where the indecision comes from.

What would most embarrass this character?: Pointing out his flaws, like indecisiveness.

Emotional Characteristics

Strengths/Weaknesses: Quick, nimble, and sneaky, but not very strong

Introvert or Extrovert?: Mostly introvert, likes people but needs his space if he’s spent a lot of time with big groups

How does the character deal with anger?: When he gets angry he yells at anyone who tries to talk to him and isolates himself. When others are angry he is silent and sullen, essentially hides himself.

With sadness?: Again he mostly hides away, will retreat into his quarters or climb a tree where nobody will think to look for him

With conflict?: Tries to see every side of the argument, tends to give more to others instead of himself.

With change?: Actually loves change, he’s not used to being in one place he grew up travelling with his clan. He also likes to meet new people because he doesn’t have to worry that they know him too deeply to see his weaknesses

With loss?: Not well, he pretty well goes catatonic and hides away again. He hides a lot it seems.

What does the character want out of life?: To see all of Thedas, to climb all the trees and pet all the dogs and nugs and foxes.

What would the character like to change in his/her life?: He’d like to not be in charge, leading the Inquisition is extremely stressful for him and he already struggles making decisions as it is.

What motivates this character?: Altruism. He genuinely wants to do good for others and make people happy

What frightens this character?: Rejection. He feels like he is flawed and when people know that they will turn away from him.

What makes this character happy?: Seeing others happy, knowing he made a difference.

Is the character judgmental of others?: Not at all, he’s very good at seeing the best qualities in everyone

Is the character generous or stingy?: Generous

Is the character generally polite or rude?: Mostly polite, but in the common courtesy way, he does not do too well in high society situations. The Winter Palace took everything he had not to offend people with things like, being barefoot, defending minorities, eating with his hands, etc.

Spiritual Characteristics

Does the character believe in God?: The Elven Gods, yes

Is religion or spirituality a part of this character's life?: Yes, but he’s not overzealous, it’s just how he was brought up. 

Additional Notes on This Character:

Amrynn is a Vegetarian, he never developed a taste for meat and feels guilty for contributing to what he considers unnecessary deaths. If he needs to use leathers or scales on his armour it will only be from creatures that actively attacked him and he needed to defend himself from. Otherwise he wears cottons and the like.

Despite being mostly introverted he’s a big flirt. This may have to do with his indecisiveness, he doesn’t need to choose one person to be with, they will choose him instead. He’s open to polyamory as well, but only if his primary partner is on board and excited about it too. He would never push that one someone who is uncomfortable with it.

He didn’t actually choose his vallaslin himself, his Keeper suggested it because he was never going to be able to make the decision himself and she knew it. He does love it though, because it reaches to his eyes and is a permanent eyeliner which he’s a fan of.

Amrynn will play with his hair when he’s bored or tired, braiding it and weaving flowers and leaves into it. It makes washing his hair later very difficult, so he takes a long time and does so methodically.

He has a very hard time sitting still and is always fidgeting, drumming his fingers or tapping his foot.

Simquisition - Part 1

Part 2

As promised, I’ve started making my inquisitors in The Sims 4! I take no responsibility for the terrible quality of the full body screenshots, that’s entirely the game’s fault. 

I think I’ll use this opportunity to fully debut my characters on here, as it were, as I haven’t done that properly on this blog yet. To do that, I’ve used the very handy character sheet provided by Marian Churchland.

Okay so with no further ado, my canon inky :)))

Lord Jonathan Trevelyan of Ostwick, representing the Inquisition

His CAS traits are: Perfectionist, Bookworm, Loves Outdoors with the Renaissance Sim aspiration

Top left are his preferred Skyhold PJs, wonderful CC by @nolan-sims​  and very poorly showcased in this low quality screenshot. CC can be found here. 

The rest is his modern AU attire, an attempt at a copy of his most worn armor. I tried to make his specialization relevant to the concept and also limit myself to three outfits which was hard.

Here is some trivia no one asked for 

Age: 27 at the start of Inquisition

Family: 

Jonathan is part of a large family with 8 children (yep). He is the 6th child and therefore very far from either importance or inheritance. This allowed him blissful ignorance of court responsibilities in his childhood and teenage years.

Family relations are a bit of a touchy subject at the moment though. He does not write home. 

Reason for being at the Conclave: 

He was sent to join the Chantry in service of the Maker after managing to put it off for almost a decade. As agreed with his relatives, he was to be part of the clergy for a year before being allowed to make the choice to stay or look for a different purpose. As the year neared its end, he was planning to leave the Chantry as soon as the meeting at the Conclave was over, hoping for a successful peace agreement between the mages and templars that would allow him safer travels. 

Class and specialization: 

Rogue archer, artificer. Shooting arrows is a favorite past-time, but he cannot wield daggers. Range and accuracy over mobility definitely. He is also very good at tinkering with things, making traps and poisons. I think he’d be an engineer in the sims maybe.

Short explanation of major game decisions:

In Hushed Whispers:

Fascinated with everything magic, he offered the mages an alliance and support of their goals of gaining independence in exchange for their help with the Breach. If the existence of the Circle has reached this breaking point, restoring it is out of the question. You can imagine how well Trevelyan and Vivienne get along :)))

Here Lies the Abyss: 

Left Hawke in the Fade, thinking the Grey Wardens will need Stroud’s guidance to rebuild (subject to change, now that I’ve played DA2 and I like Hawke, the wonderful sarcastic mess)

Grey Wardens joined the Inquisition - it was not their fault that they were fooled. They can help make the real culprits pay.

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts:

Florianne humiliated in the Grand Ballroom. Celene rules alone because Gaspard is a warmonger and unrest needs to end. However, Gaspard’s life was spared and he was sent in exile, as a courtesy for allowing the Inquisition entry as his guests. 

What Pride Had Wrought:

Wisdom beyond imagination that comes with the potential of being bound to an ancient Elven god. Jonathan sees that as a lot more of a responsibility than a gift and doesn’t trust himself with that much power. He is already the leader of a holy militia, this much confidence in his decisions is a guaranteed way of becoming a tyrant with good intentions. Also, if anyone is to lose their will to an unknown powerful being, it is probably safer they don’t also come with their own army. And as Dorian tactfully put it, “I don’t want to risk losing you to a well.”

Hence, he trusts Morrigan with the well. He did not ask the others.

I realized while carefully crafting this character sheet that his flaws don’t really come through, but some of the positive attributes he has on there taken to extremes are more of a double-edged sword.

His cautiousness makes him insecure. He’s never truly comfortable in the role of Inquisitor and takes forever to grow into it and accept the fact that it’s now his responsibility to make difficult decisions. He relies on his companions and advisors a great deal.

His selflessness is more of a glitched coping mechanism and easily turns into self-destruction. Learning to accept his new duties as Inquisitor has him go through a long phase of disassociation, where he embodies the symbol of the Inquisitor at the cost of all else. The time before Adamant and Halamshiral is a very lonely time for the Inquisitor. He learns to tone it down but it’s a learning curve. 

Also his trusting rating goes down by the quest :)))

Aaaand that’s a wrap for this evening thank you for your attention :))))

Drop me a message for questions my asks are always open. I’ll try to do the same for all my other inquisitors as this has been very fun and I’m learning photo editing tools wow. Learning more skills trying to craft Tumblr posts than I did at university :)))

Whew

These took me a lot longer than I expected :))))

(full size) Finished this thing, finally!  I was originally gonna add four more outfits, but honestly, I got so tired of looking at this that I gave up.  But anyway, I figured that since I updated Fionne’s in-game look, I should probably fix a ref of her, too. Considering that, up until now, I’ve only really had screenshots to show people if there’s been talk about drawing her. also, no, she doesn’t think of changing her outfit until arriving at Skyhold because she’s a lazy piece of shit, thank you <3 Also, can we talk about her body shape for a bit?  It’s not apparent in my usual art style where everyone look like stick people, and definitely not through the in-game model, but Fionne has pretty wide hips and thighs. She’s kind of a busty woman, too?  She’s also relatively short, even for an elf.
