I never said it isn't mine too. :P

How often would you say I overreact? :lol:

Well, maybe "overreact" isn't the right word. I did not mean to imply you go into hysterics, but you are often overly bitchy over things that are relatively minor.

Played another half hour in the fade before turning it off again. God, that shit's annoying.

one I got the hang of it the fade was over in about an hour to an hour-and-a-half. Found it pretty annoying too at first, but I've since changed my opinion on that.

How is the fade a big deal?

God, I wish Alisteir wasn't such a pussy. Sure, I like him, but if he is going to overreact every time I threaten bodily harm to some stupid fundie crone, I'm going to replace him with Sten or Shale.

Too bad you don't have the PC version.  There is a romance mod for him

I've never really had a problem with him, it's Morrigan and Sten that are always bitching whenever I do something.  Alistair usually agrees with my decision.

I've never had a problem with him as I support religion.

I don't understand that either.  The fade wasn't that long and it wasn't that difficult, unless there is some other fade part I haven't gotten to yet.

Which part are you talking about. If I remember correctly, depending on your origin you can end up in Fade twice or three times (since you go there during the mage's origin so that's something only mages get).

I assume people who complain about Fade mean the part involving the Circle of Magi main quest, not the other two instances, which are considerably shorter.

I've never had a problem with him on my first playthrough either. However, now I am a mage and one that dislikes the Chantry at that, so I expect it to be more rocky this time. ;)

I don't think it exists yet. And the gender bender mod isn't quite the same. :P

That's what I would guess but it wasn't that difficult. Only thing I didn't like was that sometimes the game got choppy and I would have saved a character but then if I spoke with them I'd get the dialogue like they were trapped until I walked to a certain spot.

Not sure what you are talking about, they are trapped in the Fade until you get to the end of the Fade - ie complete all the fade encounters.

I think garbon means individual "prisons" of party members - and yeah, while I didn't have any trouble there, some people I talked to reported a bug that made them repeat the conversation with someone whom they already released.

The Wynne nightmare I found to be bugged to hell and back and apparently the Shale nightmare is a gamebreaker for some reason.

Jaron

Someone told me its possible to bypass the Circle Fade level entirely with the right dialogue options? Is this true? :unsure:
