I hope that you will stick around and continue to help us improve the wiki.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Loleil (Talk) 00:02, 2010 April 28

DLC v. Mod
Not that I wish to harp on this, but they are different. Downloadable_content and Mod_(computer_gaming) explain the differences enough. You can call them tacos for all I care, I'm just saying that there could be confusion (as there was in this case). 13:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not going to force you to do anything (especially using my administrator privileges). I am just saying that they are different in some people's eyes. 14:56, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Shale Crystals
I see you're creating/editing the crystals pages. I've just uploaded the icons for the crystals and already added them to some pages, but I guess you might prefer adding them yourself when creating the pages. Here are the file names. Large Crystals: shl_d_cold.png, shl_d_electric.png, shl_d_fire.png, shl_d_nature.png, shl_d_spirit.png. Small Crystals: shl_o_cold.png, shl_o_electric.png, shl_o_fire.png, shl_o_nature.png, shl_o_spirit.png. Polymer (talk) 09:37, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that, I was just about to do a little bit more on those. I was just in game getting the descriptions for them off my collection in the party chest. --Aedan Cousland (talk) 10:01, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

So is the gun control topic over?
First, I waited for you to reply, I'm not so good at this blog thing. Second, if you want to discuss it, I suggest using this sight: http://spillekrogen.tv2.dk/CF/index.do. I hang out there sometimes and it is possible to have live chat. Just tell me when you will be there at least 16 hours in advance, so I will be sure to get the message. Write the date and time on my talk page.-rphb- (talk) 17:04, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE : queen anora
I did that in my first go through but i got anora showing up do i have to be a male noble and marry her?Myrlyn1968 (talk) 09:12, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you already tried that and still got Anora then I'd assume that's the case. Though why exactly did you put this on my talk page instead of in the forum thread you started? --Aedan Cousland (talk) 09:23, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I figured this would be the best way to get a fast answer.Thank you for the help.Myrlyn1968 (talk) 18:24, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Extending a dragon age life
Hello Aedan I have seen some of your posts around this site and you seem like a guy with a level head and who knows a lot about dragon Age. I wanted to ask your advice about replaying Dragon Age. I have completed DAO  about 3 times, DAA just  twice (inferior product in my opinion). Now a part of me thinks, ok  Ive have played it a lot, done a lot of the side missions, time to move on  to other games, but another part of me really  wants to play again. So how can one enjoy dragon age  again and again? already nightmare mode seems too easy, the last run through I used a lot of  mods from  the DA nexus site ( are you on that site too?)( visual mods, mini dungeon mods, extra dog slot, weapons, respec, etc etc) what mods do you use ? how can I  play again and still  enjoy it afresh ?

thanks for any advice you can give me.

You are now a patroller
You are now the wiki's very first patroller. Part of the job is to make sure that all edits have been monitored, have a look at Help:Recent changes patrol for more detail. 04:41, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

thanks from sean.
Thanks Aedan for your info and advice, im reinstalling dragon age/mods  now and am gearing up to go back into  Thedas. Will be my last time as civilization 5 is coming out, Medieval total war fan  mod  Third Age 2 is coming out so I have more than enough games to keep me busy until later this year, when i will get fallout 3  Vegas which I hope will keep me busy until dragon age 2.... gee better remember i have a girlfriend and a job! 118.5.63.157 (talk) 08:11, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Nice set of mods....
I had finally uninstalled Dragon Age after I finished Witch Hunt with all my characters.......Those mods seem pretty interesting though. Incentive enough for me to reinstall the game.

Fanfiction
Thanks for catching that. As a rule of thumb, we usually only catalog facts/info about the official game. Fanfiction, mods, and made up stuff can go on the fanfiction wikis. Especially one that is as blatantly spam as the Fanfiction page. By the way, glad to have you back :) -- 05:36, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Fanfiction
Actually, your quite wrong on the non-use of Fanfiction, their are countless fanfiction wikis on Wikia. The Star Wars Fanon Wiki, the Kingdom Hearts Fanfiction and Fanon Wikis, the Halo Fanon Wiki, the Code Geass Fanon Wiki. No offense but should I continue to make a list? Essentially, the Wikia Staff know about Fan Wikis because they recently intervened in a depute on the KH Fanon Wiki which led to confusion on how certain pages should be held as, if a Page is created by a Fan then the idea by copyright belongs to that Fan. Just pointing out that your beliefs are entirely wrong. That Fan wiki is to be used, the staff have already agreed that they will not interfere in a Fan Wiki unless it is for justified reasons (e.g. misuse of Admin conduct or the transfer of information and deletion of similar Wikis) - --BoRadiant 14:55, October 26, 2010 (UTC) Also, I am adding additional writing stating where the images come from, the Characters appear in a Fanfiction that happens to be on Fanfiction.net at this very moment, meaning that your points have very little jurisdiction, for technically they do appear in existing works. - --BoRadiant 15:04, October 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * You are welcome to create your own fanfiction wiki and moderate the content on it. I believe what Aedan is saying is that this wiki is for canon lore and all acts of imagination should be left up to BioWare. He is enforcing our policy. I hope you understand that we don't have a place here for fiction made up by players as that opens a whole issue about whose story takes precedence.


 * On another note, IANAL, but, as I recall, part of the terms of service on Wikia is that the content is CC-SA. That's really another discussion for another place though. -- 18:05, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually did bring up the whole copyright thing in regards to his wiki, mostly since it creates an unnecessary liability for him. I'm also aware of the existence of other fanfiction wikis but when I looked at his last night his didn't seem to be about fanfiction but about his own characters. I also didn't see any completed or ongoing fanfiction stories, and Blaid is the only contributor with more than one contribution. It strikes me as somewhat off for the addition of pages about existing fanfiction to not to have been the first thing done (or at the very least posting of existing fanfics themselves).  18:26, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
