It's supposed to be a medieval fantasy game. You don't think much about it now but in medieval times 30 was the average lifespan and 50 was the "how the hell are you still alive" age. Though Wynne is probably not yet 50 cause she's very much interested in waking up in Alistair's bed.
@@fare-5174 that’s a common misconception because infant and childhood mortality rates were so high it brings the average lifespan down. If you made it to 25 the estimated lifespan rises to around 50.
Honestly, I played this game so many times, you have no idea, almost every class, and race and even gender, lists of fun it was, every time was different, but MY GOD, the Fade chunk is ALWAYS so EXCRUCIATING, I SWEAR
this is why the "skip the fade" mod is so popular tbh 😂It is good to play it once on the first playthrough to have seen that portion of the game, but every time after that it is too tedious to do.
You certainly made up for the lack of smooching in the last episode 😂 FYI, your current party is my ride or die party every time I play, so I approve. Can we talk about how relatable Irving is though? "I'm too old for this" is something I think every morning before I even open my eyes.
1:09:20 If I remember correctly, some of those gift cutscenes only happen if you've already spoken to your teammates thoroughly enough to discover the things that they like or miss the most. On rare occasions (like with Alistair's broken amulet), the cutscene happens the moment you loot the item (if the proper recipient is there with you when you grab it).
Wynne and Zevran have the sauciest banter. For the Soldier's peak glitch I found that pausing the game right when the cutscene end and he starts walking to his summoning spot and having someone in the party beat him to that spot fixes the glitch and you can complete the ritual.
Wynne's banter with almost every party member is something to enjoy. But with Alistar, it really does feel a bit like "mother figure" than anything else, although there ARE a few times when she gets a bit "sassy" with him and makes him sputter with what she just implied about her own lifestyle.
I had Morrigan in my party during this part, and she’d actually already figured out she was in a dream when I found her. I didn’t even need to do anything and she was just like “Oh good, you’re here. Let’s kill this thing”
I know you are probably ahead in the playthrough but just incase. to fix soldiers peak bug: as soon as he starts walking, walk the opposite direction (away from him) the bug happens due to something with the distance between the player character and him.
I love Wynne. She’s so cool. After recruiting her, Morrigan never left the party camp lol. I always kept Wynne, Alistair, and Zevran or Leliana in my party
For the Soldier Peak thing, I found that if you walk towards the corner left of Avernus (I think) it’ll trigger the fight correctly. Hasn’t failed me yet!
Wynn can has a group heal and can revive a fallen character also. The only reason I don’t sometimes have her in the group is when I take Spirit Healer and can already do what she does. ❤ Wynn
And this is normally where you would go back to Redcliffe to save Connor... 💀(Or sacrifice him to unlock the Blood Mage Specialization with the option of reloading and saving Connor anyways while still having access to the Specialization)
It breaks your heart when you realize how all Alastair wants is to have a family and be happy... 💔💔💔 Oh, look... Basique adds more children to the tally list... Children 0 Basique - ... ? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I’m surprised you dislike the Fade portion so much, you’ve seemed to be gleefully using all the new abilities, smooshing everything. You are hiding your distress well. I mean… 🎶 “Mouse Form!!!!!” 🎵 😉
@@chiraakitteh4091 the abilities are great! It’s just lonely 😩 I miss my party and the banter and all of that! The puzzle isn’t THAT difficult, just tedious and time consuming! (And I was forced to talk to myself even more than usual😜)
@@basicwitgirlsome people wrote a fix in your previous episode and it worked for me. Save the moment he starts to walk and reload. Also try walking in the opposite direction from him.
I always hated how Wynn was "fooled" in the fade. Aren't you supposed to be a 1st teir, high-ranking mage? Morrigan is able to tell shes in the fade if you bring her. Come on old lady you went to hogwarts but the swamp witch is better at magic? Lol
Yeah, when we say that we love this game...we don't mean the Fade portion 😅 I can't use the Skip the Fade mod bc I play on console, so I always use a walkthrough to get through it as quick as possible. Poor Alistair, he just wants a family to love him for who he is and not what he can do for them 😭 Steve Valentine did such a superb job voicing him. Learning to cook with Basique Surana? She's lived in the Tower and never had to bake bread in her life; she'd probably get impatient and cast fire in the oven and burn the bread to a crisp. I'd watch the heck out of that 😂 Wynne is always in my party bc she's just so useful. Her Spirit Healer specialization has a revive spell too. Of course, Morrigan and Basique can also have that specialization but it doesn't really fit Miss Swamp Witch. And something tells me Basique prefers to deal lightning damage 😂 "It's like a Hallmark movie" ...until he starts ranting about exterminating the mages 😅 I mean, kid was tortured and tramatized but still...not cool Cullen.
I love how so many characters continure to be part of the story through all 3 games. Looking forward to it! its not the last time you will see Cullen! and that's all I will say about it😉

He returns in DA2 and Inquisition, too. Not gonna tell in which of them you may romance him!

This game really drills "Wynne is old and its a miracle shes still hobbling around" into your head but...shes just like 50 lol.

The party banter of Alistair and Wynne is my favorite.

Just go clockwise and clear with Forms. If you want challenge don't use forms. That's nice introduction for solo character playthrough.
@@charleswiltshire21 IT WAS SO TEDIOUS😭
It’s weird, to me it’s pretty quick, would have think by now you’d find it simple
I hate it so much!!! 😭
I always do it ASAP, just to get it out of the way, lol. 😅

An alternate title. "Stop the Fade, I want to get off!"
All I am going to say is....just wait until you play Dragon Age Inquisition. *teehee*
Cullen is such a disaster, I love him.
I love Wynne. She’s so cool. After recruiting her, Morrigan never left the party camp lol. I always kept Wynne, Alistair, and Zevran or Leliana in my party

the cullen scene. I'm screaming. Poor guy. It's even more awkward than I remember xD 🍵🍵 🍵
I was not expecting so much NPC yearning in this episode. Basique was gone from the circle for like two weeks and Cullen could not even deal
I didn't realize Uldred was Dean Domino! Explains so much tbh
Wynn can has a group heal and can revive a fallen character also. The only reason I don’t sometimes have her in the group is when I take Spirit Healer and can already do what she does. ❤ Wynn
Yeees Wynne is a great healer i keep her in the party through the whole game lol.

Every one has a sweet tooth, and it is a good way to make friends (no spoilers ) just insight ;)
You're not the only one that gets annoyed with that Circle mission. I hate it with every fiber of my being, lol.

Could one prehaps say this part of the game is making your enjoyment of the game.. Fade.. away.. ;)
So many people disliked the fade part that a mod was released to skip it. Personally I never really had a problem with it.
