Thalidomide Armour in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Battlemage mail arms + enchanter coat = no arms, no waist, deformed hands

I can't unwatch it...

I'm watching "Clueless" (1995) with Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz, and to my horror, I discover my Inquisitor's Cullen has the same fashion-sense as a high school girl from the 90s:

Forging Auron's Katana with Man at Arms: Reforged

Fascinating.

My Name is Rora and I Have A Problem

I tried so hard not to. I didn't even find his character design all that attractive at first. Yet the fact remains: I love Cullen.

A Cullenmancer's Lament (A Torch Song in Cm)
-Music and Lyrics by Aurora Mitchell 2015, dedicated to Ms. Brianne Battye & Mr. Greg Ellis

Like a lyrium addiction
Got a strange affliction
With the urge to write fan fiction
In graphic depiction
You've got me fixated
On pixelated you...

It should be a factor
That you're voiced by an actor
But what's most hard to tell is,
Is it you or Greg Ellis
Who's got me fixated
On pixelated you?

I don't care if I'm
Part of your harem, I'm
So intoxicated...

Gotta find a quick solution
Or I'll need an institution
A victim of my own delusion
Give me the resolution
You've got me fixated
I'm so twitterpated
It's almost x-rated...
My pixelated you!

N.B. I am not a musician. I tried to get musicians to collaborate with me, but perhaps I scared them off with my lack of experience. And skill. And talent. The following acapella track was recorded on my laptop in my bathroom because the only place I sing is in the shower (that, and because the cat wouldn't leave me alone). It is intended for people to get a rough idea of what I'm trying to achieve, but may be hazardous to their health in that their ears may start to bleed. My hope is that someone will record it properly one day.

Found this amazing archer, Lars Andersen:

Meet Inquisitor Tala Lavellan

Meet Inquisitor Elissandra Trevelyan

What I love about DA:I is the fact they randomly generate people of colour in the crowds during the cut scenes. I've seen the same NPCs in various shades.

I designed my Inquisitors based upon the stories I wished told. Because Cullen's romance is limited to female humans and elves, I made her human, having already played through as a female elf Inquisitor. I prefer playing as a rogue, but the story possibilities of a relationship between a Circle mage and tortured former Templar on the background of a mage-templar war were too intriguing to pass up. I made her a knight-enchanter so I could engage in hand-to-hand combat and because of the ties of their order to the Divine, which would make Cullen feel less uneasy around a mage. I made her a person of colour (she's half Rivaini) because Cullen is so fair and I'd like to think he'd find her looks exotic compared with the average Fereldan and Free Marcher. I personally think she's quite beautiful and, after all he's been through, I thought Cullen deserved to be with someone beautiful:
