it never seems to fail, that I end up making choices in game as i would in life. I tell myself this time I will be evil and kill the elves , But I just never seem to do it. I intend to be cruel in sentences etc but in the end [ for example Fable, i end up with a halo!!!!] this having been said the ironic thing is , that in real life I can be quite a scrapper at times, but usually only in protection of my loved ones, or someone whom i percieve as unable to defend themselves/ So while I hate ending up a goodie-two-shoes, I usually am :(

New Armor Models You'd Like to See in Game
Shacary replied to Flash432's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Mod Ideas
Not sure if this is possible ,but for mage armor , i thought a version similar to IDREAMOFJEANNIE outfit, sans goofy hat and the pants be converted into a skirt. femine type, softy and lacy but not nude!! stats better than the goofy stuff provided by vanilla, just a thought anyways , i have absolutely no skill o ridea btu i would luv to have my female mage look a bit frilly and soft [ cant help it! LOL ] thanks all! -
well i had similar issues with 2 HD"S and steam I have win 7 64 bit as well, and for whatever reason It would not recognize the game on the old HD I ended up having to reinstall it on the new HD [ one harddrive burned out the other did not hence old vs new] Now I also had cut scene lag issues., which Darkewolfe and DanScott87 helped me resolve. It was related to steam on one account and also that i had believe it or not ablock on firewall which prevented my acknowledged " account" confirmation. I am totally a pc noob but i think those fellas could help u. they were awesome and entirely patient with a whining [ in tears at that point!] noob gamer. Gl and i hope it is soon resolved for u. I have installed so many cool mods i now once again have cut scene lag. I used nvidia gt250 1g ram video card with 8 gigs on mobo, I have to assume it is most likely related to all my mods? i dont know why it w ould bog that down but im just guessing, usually reinstaling the game works for me. anyways gl mate!

How do YOU make your characters look?
Shacary replied to spinspider's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
I totally have a thing for elves, so i tend [ i cant stand the vanillas and i cant use the toolset] dl the neatest mops i can beg/find from folks, and give them long hair and ewither bright green, purple or blue eyes sometimes brown, In version of Tinker by Wen spencer, I provide the longest styles i can ,altho i hate the face being covered as most hair mods tend to do, and i want the ears to show! I dont know why mb like someone said i tend to use blonde or brown hair, [ im blonde and blue eyed too so mb this effects my decisions?] the males i play are usually the HMN, cant stand the wimpy looking elven males in the vanilla , would love to see a tougher looking version ! It woudl be great to choose heights as well as the body style { per NBAIO } but im grateful to have hte pc version with all these mods to try different looks! I would luv to have more tattoos on body etc but I again am limited by my lack of computer savvy. I tried dwarves, the females are fun, but i cant stand the way it cuts the cut scenes in the vanlla game so just her eyes are visible.... seems wrong to me, and or w hen they kiss, suddenly the dwarf is like Goliath! [ ishoudl talk im almost 6ft! lol ]. I luv to peruse the character bragging on bioware, they make such awesome faces! but i always dl from here. two peeps from bioware were so nice they allowed me to use their avatar mops! so I seem to make elves and now that we can use any class/origin, i even ended up putting an elf in place of the casteless [ another of my favorite origins! lol I try all the hair colors but mostly its earthen or exotic purple eye tones, and long hair [ my hair is long too, I wonder if its a factor like the other poster said?] -
spoiler What are people's opinions on Morrigan?
Shacary replied to SpellAndShield's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
When i played my first tw o playthroughs i didnt like morrigan. I just got fustrated i lost faction for giving coins to the poor etc. but then i started talking to her [ lol somethign i didnt bother doing my first two playthrus with any of them really] and i discovered she w as a complex character. I think her social faux pas is due to lack of interaction, she explains it to, never learnign how to haggle, when to look in eyes etc. But i found her to be caring in her own way, unable t deal with new emotions, but learning kindness through her interactions with the warden. She is kind a like my older sister in my eyes, rebellious, strong willed and determined. I liked her, Im not crazy over the dark r itual altho I think any being would want to live! but thats cuz i dont want to share my love interest or be unfaithful to my chosen comrade. Of course if its the warden thats romancing her its a whole new level of discovery. She might not be virginal, but emotionally she IS! what starts out as easy come easy go slowly morphs into a bond that consumes her, frightens her. I think she is endearing in her uncertainity etc. That being said I dont believe that the ritual with the child is for a good purpose. Ithink it was designed for Power and survival [ i cant help but think of flemeth taking in a demon for power/survival] . however that does not totally negate her chances of raising the child as she was raised but also having grown from her encounters with the wardens, more kindness, love may seep in. I am willing to bet she wouldnt smash the childs baubles as flemeth did! anyways I found all the characters intriguing, believable and fun in a new way. Bioware did an amazing job, and I too have always adored Claudia Black as an actress! -
well as i sia di have only romanced Zev on xbox playthroughs, but as tothe cheating issue, [ again this just my personal morals injertecting into a fantasy game] but yes! it matters lol. well atleast to my chicks involved in the relationship. The time i romanced Leli [ i made liek 2 male pcs i took thru tothe end] it told me she went to the GW and helped her fella basically [ paraphrasing] and so she was committed i believe . I do adore Zev for his wit and all but there is just something about him that reminds me WAY to much of my brothers lol so i cant get into it. Im an unabashed Alistair fangirl tho. But i am goign tot try t he romance with the zev dialog thingy see if it matters, xbox was bland to me imo. and pc is like way more immersive.! Also sorry for the double post earlier it lagged or something and i did not know how to remove second post? OOO yes , i admit t he first playthru was with a HFN and i didnt harden him nor did i evidentally select the correct responses and he dumped my girl. yes it was devastating, but, he was a stickler for duty and respondsability which often meant he w ould be miserable . idk LOL

spoiler A bet for morrigan poll
Shacary replied to spets21's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
nah she turns into a dog if u refuse the ritual. I have read on many sites that it is assumed to be morrigan, so i think it is, I hope Alistair comes back in da2 as well, those two stole the " show" so to speak , i thoguht awakenings was way flat without them to be honest. -
his mum gets mad at u for leaving him there , when u tell her he is alive. { rucks i mean] I kill him when zev is along he always compels me, who can say no to him? hehe but most of time i let him live. he isnt hurting anything and he will die soon enough... unless he becomes a darkspawn... I thought they said the taint killed tho? idk now! *cry* now i feeel bad if i let him live to become a horrendous darkspawn!

I think Zev is funny, but like morgan still has his own agenda. Besides he woudl prolly cheat a zillion times and t hink it was ok! I mean even in medievil times STDS were present! lol I prefer Alistair, hardened is way better for the romance at the end. He doesnt ditch u then, and he totally refused to marry anora , he didnt marry my elf but.... they stayed together and in awakening he was very lovey to her. So i assumed if the nation isnt ready for a marriage between races, to bad cuz we were still committed to be together I AM totally an Alistair fan girl, his voice melts me nad his silly boyish charm coupled with a strength is hard to resist. I feel a kinship with him as he goes thru the bulk of the tribulations my character does as well. I have played the romances thru as well with all 4 [ i made two male toons on xbox], and altho zevran is cool, the end dialog never says he commits, he chooses to stay with his love for the time being...... well either we are together or we arent u know? that was the one side of Zev [ i think perhaps my real life morals intrude in game] that i couldnt really get into. I want in game [ hehe] to be the ONE , the true love, not just a sexual exploition which develops slow to a noncomittal relationship/ I am greedy i want it all! today tomorrow, fight or play u know. I adore zev, and i am tyring him with the new dialog pack but vanilla on xbox i was disappointed. Im glad i got the pc version to try all these awesome mods u know! AListair rules, hearts as well as kingdoms! He looks at ur pc like he ADORES her.

I would like to interject that when I went to speak to flemeth the second time, she was tellign me [ im goign to condense the asumption [ correct word?] that Morrigan had attempted the murder of her other times too. I mean truly It is Flemeth that saved the wardens life. We only have it from Morrigan that Flemeth was the " evil one"> Now I liked Morrigan, and thoguht of her kinda like a spirited sister, BUT, to play devil's advocate, what if it turns out like that movie the Key ? where the nurse's aid discovers WAY to late that her " old patient" is actually the young soul taken from the young man, and the old " soul" traded bodies. Truly it may take a lot for granted, but perhaps there is more to this coniving web than any know. Mb morrigan is actually " flemeth" so to speak. I doubt that , but st ill its intriguing. As for baby's sex.... as in real life it is determined by the male's donation.... ummm Maric had 2 boys.... I think its most likely a boy , but prefer a girl of course.. hehe. But its up to the fellas Y gene donation! As for how it could be atttractedto such a miniscule particle of dark taint.... I guess i have to reach for the old stick, that Morrigan did many preperations before the final battle, perhaps this is why she refused to sleep with her Warden until the eve of the battle and not a love insecurity at all? Mb there is more magic involved in that ritual that the sex [ even historically sex magic was considered VERY powerful] than just the coupling, but lay somewhere on the floor of the cuttign room floor so to speak. I hope that that baby's father and my GW [ in my case i play mainly females ] get to leave together in search of the child, and that is the reason they leave the GW at the end of awakening, Forgive the horrible typing! anyways good debate!

this is totally noob talkign here but i read on the bioware website somewhere that they are equating game crashes with realtek audio drivers?/ sound cards. I have this sound card and since Dan and Darkewolf helped me with my own pc difficulty this has not been an issue [ and as far a s i know it was unrelated... ] However i do not have the 1.03 patch this round, i thought " forget it" and its running wonderfully. anyways I just thought of that my bad!

Why do people hate on dwarves so much?
Shacary replied to SpellAndShield's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
I dont like the caste system , and the dwarfian politics are ruthless, but playign dwarves are fine, except the cut scenes [ vanilla] constantly cut my character off at the eye level. so its like she isnt in the movie so to speak, that annoys me, and i get annoyed with suddenly when i go to kiss a human Im as tall as him! teehee. but minor things. That said I TOTALLY dislike oghren due to his typecast belching/farting falling over drunk. He is a good fighter and has a few good lines, but overall i prefer to leave his booty in camp. usually i get him so late in game anyways its hard to build up a high rapport. I save and give him every liquor i cna find and even some dog bones. HAHA. I really like playing the casteless only becuz it is overcoming the horrors of that traumatic and sad life. I think so far [ have not palyed the dwarf all the way thru yet { i like elves and humans myself LOL } the most iconic moment was after the proving fights and u drop the helmet to the ground, and the upper class see that a casteless destroyed them all. I hope it proves as good when we destroy the darkspawn. I ran back to orzamar [ spelling?] first this time, but i cnanot do the tunnels without a cheat at this level, so ... I have downloaded some super awesome weapons! teehee. the dwarfs are interesting as a rule, altho im totally not into so much facial hair lol , but i dont mind playing them, overall ! -
Hi I installed the sragonage redesigned, its beautiful especially to someone like me with visual difficulties, BUT now my hair mod doesnt work except for tucked hair... is there something i did wrong or can remove to have the variety of long hair { luv long hair on elves seems more realistic rpg wise t o me [ fan of Tinker aka wen spencer } Im embarressed after all my other troubles but u all were so helpful, plz aide me again and thank you!

spoiler Fan Made Tributes to Loghain!
Shacary replied to SpellAndShield's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
LOL Rustyblade! ME too! I cannot forgive his crimes, I allowed him to live once for hte achievement and that was on xbox! the whole notion of , I thought i was doing what was right for fereldom.... ummm ya whatever!! LOL sorry Stardusk Itoo disagree but grats on ur movies! I cant even figure out how to post a screen shot of the pinched website issues im having! lol gj { grumbles under breath, since she dislikes Loghain} teehee j/k! -
I admit this request bothers me, But each to his own, she is " family" in a tioght sense of the word and what happens to her cousins honor also she is a victim of rape! Why woudl anyone push themselves into that trauma, good grief the poor thing NEVER has a chance to recooperate, AND believe me, it can take years for something like that to even be partly "cured" the scars on pyches and emotional are far worse than physical scars. But again each to his own, of course i am way to chatty to NOT comment, I tried to not comment i really tried LOL

well technically you could run to the camp before the redcliff, but if you are romancing alistair .... umm what a botu the DR? LOL i like the idea DONT get me wrong! Even if its just like someoen suggested consoling each other for doing the deed...... as for most random pcs. I figure if i play a MHN and i plan on marrying anora she better put out before the day.... LOL I wouldnt buy a car without test drivin, would u? im joking but u know!

spoiler What is the appeal of Alistair to females?
Shacary replied to SpellAndShield's topic in Dragon Age: Origins's Discussion
I totally agree, I like his combination of vulnerable boyish charm, great humor and loyal steadfast duty. He is dependable, u know when u are in over ur head he will help you. I dont find him wantign a mother at all, I dont think being kind to him about darning his shirt or whatever is asking for someone to be his mother. Wynne more or less projects herself to us as a " Mother/grandmother " figure, always advising , observing etc. anyways, totally Alistair fangirl here, Handsome, funny, loyal and tender, but strong enough to support you when u need him too! [ emotionally as well as physically!] OK i think i caught all my dyslexic reversing of letters lol sorry all -
Hi, I dont know maybe this is something happened to me only but when i go to a file the author name and all the info to the far right is missing, I cannot resize it and its only showing about 1/4 inch. I usually gauge files basedon creators amount of times its dl'd etc [ for safety ] And th e pic of the hottest file [ I think its tnt widow set right now] is over sized and covering the clickable catagories on the right to select as zone if that makes sense i am having toruble phrasing this. Is this something on website or my settings? it suddenly changed about 3 days ago and it has never changed.... is there a way i can return it to the default nav system? thank you kindly

I would luv to slap her after she snarls dispargingly at alistair, after defending her village that SHE abetted the misfortune of it . GRR lets see this made, slap her, I know finnireaches mod is awesome but i want to sla[p her myslef! LOL OO man wish i wasnt dyslexic sorry if i have typos, was reading i could be banned for those? hope not seriously

I wonder if it is possible to enable more preset mops than the 8 allowed currently? I play thru the game using the morphs i have dl'd then i have to replace them over nad over for variety. Is it possible to extend this into mb 15? I dont know if this is a possible do-able mod, but thanks for considering it! OO and i am so disappointed Immortality announced that the alistair flirt pack was on indefinate hiatus, Any chance we could request a mod like that here? LOL IM shameless! I luv the character interactions soo much! thanks all!
