Still doesn't answer how she glued her head back on even if lyrium were singing in her veins, twas but a flesh wound, your heads off!

A dead Leliana in Inquisition is an unkillable GMs pet, not a physical body.

FTFY.

 

[Space Satan]

i always liked how Gaider banned people who asked them about "how Leliana is alive when we decapitated her?". And when it became a common trolling pattern he started blabbing about "Maker acts in misterious ways" or some bullshit like that.

 

[Lacrymas]

Those are not really issues, unless you killed those people in BG1. What's more annoying is getting saddled in the starting dungeon with Jaheira and Minsc WHOM I NEVER TRAVELLED WITH in BG1.

I imagine most people's party in BG1 was Imoen, Khalid and Jaheira, and Minsc and Dynaheir. That's why they opted to making them canonical and the starting party in 2. I wouldn't be surprised if only a small minority noticed there's something weird about Minsc and Jaheira being in Irenicus' dungeon.

My most common party was always Imoen, Viconia and Branwen. I always multiclass them to thief/mage, cleric/mage and ranger/cleric respectively, though. These three were simply the earliest NPCs you can get that weren't tied to other characters.

"Most people" can eat shit as far as I am concerned. My party was composed of Viconia, Kagain, Xzar, Monty and Edwin

Well... "most people" sided with the mages both in Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Just shows how many retards are out there (for those of you who don't remember/didn't play, Dragon Age II especially beats you over the head with how much of a bad idea is to leave mages uncontrolled, and yet, most people chose them because "muh empathy"). For God's sake, the First Enchanter in Dragon Age II covered for a blood mage who later on MURDERED YOUR MOTHER, and still those morons took their side.

Oh, you played DA II? Accept my condolences.

Spoiler

Nah, joking. I don't really give a shit about your shit taste in games.

I hope tevinter imperium art is good if for inspirational purposes if nothing else

Critical hit animations aren't canon, they're just a fun visual thing, much like how it's utterly impossible for a humanoid to explode into giblets when hit with a sword or spear or dagger or whathaveyou in Baldur's Gate.

Ah yes. A black man murdered your mother, so you turn into a neoNazi who wants to murder, deport or lock up all blacks.

Maybe you are the one who needed to pay attention. They weren't seeking to control mages, the Templars wanted to slaughter them indiscriminately. Obviously bringing back the circle reformed would've been the choice but no such thing was presented there. And just to be clear, your father is a Mage, your sister is a mage, 2 other party members are mages (though they do some fckn asinine shit) & your 'correct' path is to side with the Templars & murder all of them? The innocents as well? Yea.. ..

Also the Templars are fckn Cunts in DAII. Well.. .on second thought so were the Mages..

It's actually a very understandable response with plenty of precedents.

The leader of the templars in DA2 is an insane psycho bitch who leads a bunch of brainless fanatical zealots. The mages were just a bunch of idiots. Neither side was likeable or interesting, let alone worth siding with.

The problem is that there isn't a third option: Walk away with your companions (mage and templar both) and let the rest of them kill themselves.

Not really an understandable response. It is a very emotional and childish response. However, it has happened in history. Doesn't mean that it is ethically right or should be lauded, though.

Nothing is likable or interesting.

Lol these losers played DA2

Dragon Age being worth your time is not canon.

I think it's alright to choose a fixed ending and base your sequel on that, like they did with FO and FO2. Even BG2 basically did that and just allowed you to import the player character. However, if you're going to include a more extensive save import option, one that supposedly shapes the game world based on your previous actions, you'd better do it properly. A dead character should remain dead, and that goes double for Leliana because of that fucking song.

She is dead in games where your warden killed her.
You're playing a completely different character in DAI who has zero knowledge of that event in a world where spirits(and demons) can both bring people back to life and imitate the dead.
I really don't understand the complaint. They're staying entirely consistent within the world they created. One of your companions in the first game was killed before she even joined your party.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Also, the reason for siding with the mages in DAI is (imo) the much better quest involving time travel.

 

[Neanderthal]

Why the fuck do I get such satisfaction from triggering Biodrones? Is it because they take the shitty "lore" so seriously, I don't know, but I really ought to stop.

OH GOD THAT FUCKING SONG, HOW CAN ANYONE TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY?

Probably the same reason I get such a kick out of triggering paiturd, bugmaker and VtmB fanbois. Because it is fun!
