[@bulksquatthrust8792]

Certainly to no avail. G.A.R.F.I.E.L.D., Truck Shepard, and The Final Pam are all beings given life by the nasty and malevolent McElroy Brothers. These three have broken past the barrier and have become self-aware, to the point that it's no use setting up additional barriers. They'll inevitably bypass them all, given strange Aeons. Hide your kids, hide your lasagna JPEGs, nobody is safe from these eldritch, reality-eating, and pasta-eating creatures.

do you understand how long i've been waiting for the boys to venture into the dragon times

[@Katlynn888]

I have been waiting for this episode for a literal year and I just want to make a few points: 1.) How did Griffin manage to go to the Hinterlands with ONLY Varric, assuming that DJ Slime Time did not go to the Hinterlands, return to Haven, and then go back to the Hinterlands with only Varric? 2.) I can't believe DJ Slime Time accidentally found the Apostate Mages; I have played this game no less than ten times and every SINGLE DAMN TIME it takes me twenty minutes screaming in circles around Witchwood before I find the Apostates. 3.) I CAN'T BELIEVE that DJ Slime Time smuggled her way into Redcliff way before the narrative allows and DIDN'T go visit Dorian. DJ Slime Time is obviously the cool lesbian grandma that we have all been praying for and Dorian is obviously her misguided gay grandson. DJ Slime Time needs to offer council to the poor man; she needs to take him under her wing; she needs to tell him to shave his mustache. 4.) Can DJ Slime Time and her powerful jumping thighs find that weird dais that I ended up on when my game loaded wrong and i had to walk for literally twenty minutest through half-rendered mountains to Haven? Can she find for me this strange pocket dimension that I am not entirely sure exists? 5.) "DAMMIT TODD" screamed at a Bioware game.

[@theamazingcavalieri195]

the camps you set up have the thingy where you can change parties without going back to haven, so my guess is he just did that to only bring varric. but more importantly why would you ever want dorian to shave his mustache? that's where he keeps all his power :^(

Dumb fun fact, the DA setting is named Thedas because they were using it as a filler for the world setting while trying to come up with a name (Thedas literally being The DA Setting) but then it ended up sticking. It actually makes a solid naming convention for like D&D or other creative projects when you need a sort of randomish name. Just name the traits you wanna associate with the place, then try to make a pseudo-acronym from them. So like "evil queen castle in snowy mountain" could be broken down into royal, mountain, cold, and evil, and then you can try combining it into something like "Castle Romolvi" (*RO*yal *MO*untain co*L*d e*VI*l) or something to that effect. Or like a fey township in an enchanted wood would be hidden, fey, natural, and magic, so something like "Denayma" (hid*DE*n *NA*tural fe*Y* *MA*gic)
