THE DRAGON AGE 2 RELEASE STICKY

[twist_shimmy]

OMG YOU GUYS IT'S GONNA BE

(more thanks to cave_fatuam  who probably had no idea I was going to abuse this graphic so badly.)

Tuesday looms, my darlings. It looms, and we are ready for it. (Why no, I've not slept; I still have saves to rebuild!)

So here's the deal. We want everyone's plunge into DA2 to be a) fun, and b) spoiler-free, so please read the bullet points below.

• Until further notice, all Dragon Age 2 posts shall be relegated to this thread. This will keep the comm from exploding and also allow those of us who aren't playing it yet/have no desire to play it to continue on as normal.
• Use the comment title space to put in a topic like you would for a standalone post. If you think it might be spoilery for an area/character/wevs, post that first thing so those of us who don't want cameos/LIs/game plot detailed can scroll on past to something else.
• Hmmm. Screenshots. I guess post them as links so we can click if we want to see and avoid if we don't. (Note to self: FOLLOW THIS RULE.)
• DA drabbles/fic/art may be posted separately to the comm within the next couple of weeks. Just not right now. We need to get everything settled.
• You'll note a series of new tags going up for DA2 characters, as well as a da2 spoilers tag. Use these when the time comes. :D

Okay, good? Good. Dive on in.

::EDIT:: Mods are coming out already. Wanna check them out/post one you just found? This is the thread for it.
::2nd EDIT:: This is about to go off sticky for another announcement, so I'd subscribe to the entry/save the link. Though it will also be available via sidebar!

I've tried my hand at modding Teagan....

Does it look all right?

It looks a hell of a lot better. Do you have screenshots from the char creation screen, so we can see him from lots of angles? That's how Elysium tweaked him. The nose is pretty important, or he'll just look like any old red-head with a braid.

If you want to dump a load of shots on me to discuss, you have my email addy from when I was betaing for you.

Sent e-mail. The email I'm using is a Gmail one, FYI.

In DAO his goatee was more filled out.

Re: Let the modding begin!

[dragonreine]

There is NO option to fill out said goatee, since DA2's stubble is so sparse and the "beard" options are literal beards/'staches . The only way to make it look "thick" is to severely darken the stubble to emphasize it, but that gets the odd eyebrow =/= hair color mismatch.

It looks great.

I'm gonna handwave the facial hair variations, on the logic that in seven years, someone MIGHT change their look slightly.

Can't wait to see what you come up with for Alistair.
