I've been converted. Is there, like... a meeting I have to go to?

Anyone who I beta for, or has beta'd for me, knows The Motto. So much as mention Orzammar in your fic, and you'll get a lovely comment in your sidebar containing the following icon:



I hate Bhelen, I hate Harrowmont, I hate Ruck. I especially hate Branka, and Hespith steals a chunk of my soul every time she turns away and doesn't let me put her out of her misery. I hate the carta, because they always die spread-eagled, facing my screen, and Jarvia has "plans" for my female Wardens. (My males were insulted that no plans were had for them.)

Then I gave in to peer pressure and made my Aeducan. Holy crap. She has more attitude than all of my other Wardens combined, and is a bigger schemer than Evie was. I ACTUALLY get to order the murder of other people! It's canon! :D

Behold!


She stands with attitude.


She also snarls. Exiled from your kingdom? Eh, fuck 'em.

My Dalish occasionally narrows her eyes, and my Cousland always looked rather... startled. She managed sad a couple of times, too. But this Aeducan has me enamored with her disdain. I want her to go forth and kill people and also sleep with them and then make that FACE.

Though if I ever wrote a fic with her involved, I think she'd kill Gorim, and that makes me sad.

New motto: OMG AEDUCANS, FUCK THE CARTA.

If you put Bhelen on the throne, the epilogue slide says he ruled as a reformist and gave the castsless greater rights, and that trade improved and blah blah. Everyone,thus, began to say 'rawr, Bhelen's the greatest' and started actually calling him the Dwarven Messiah on the Bioware social network boards. Honestly, he's not that special. he;s just a cutthroat whose last name just happened to be Aeducan.

And everyone seems to think he's a magnificent bastard, but really, that whole framing fiasco could have gone wrong in SO many ways. All it would have taken was for the DN to reach the rendezvous five minutes later or earlier, but NO, the game decided everything for you. I especially found it stupid that the DN isn't even allowed to CONSIDER Bhelen might be playing foul. I mean, it was just so obvious, he even aid "You;re my elder, I'll respect whatever decision you make..." Really? So Trian isn't his elder too? That line alone would have been enough to doom his plan to failure.

And let's not get into hos the game has the DN just walking up to where Trian is lying dead and waiting there for everyone to find him there...

Another really annoying thing is that you can only find the incriminating papers that link him to Trian's murder only if you side with him first and THEN betray him to Harrowmont when going after Jarvia.

Really, the only reason he's not dead yet in my fiction is because the protegonist, unlike me, actually wants to redeem him.
