Vandalism
Just trying to do my bit. Some people need to grow up.

The front page
I'm not sure you can do anything about it, but when pull up the front page without signing into the Wiki, I still get the "SKYRIM FTW" message, and this occurs on both my home and work networks (cleared out cache, different browsers, didn't change a thing). It was fine after I signed in, but seeing as I usually browse signed out, this is what I'm still greeted with. Just wanted to let you know in case there was another page it's pulling it from. Thanks. --Shiratori (talk) 22:10, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there KC, I got an interesting proposal from the guys at Assassin's Creed. I value your opinion so if you have any thoughts, please chime in on the thread. -- 00:06, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Broken template..?
Hello! Could you have a look at the link to the Landsmeet shield in the reward section of Smuggler's Run. I clicked on the image to see what the shield actually is and I was directed to Ndsmeet Shie, which is a page you delete suspecting it to be a duplicate. I tried to fix the link to go to the Landsmeet shield but since I am not familiar with how this wiki has been build I couldn't figure it out. Thanks.

Juicy Gossip!
Thanks for the heads up, you caught some info I didn't. I didn't get any info on what the picture was before. Next thing is finding out if anyone got the picture on the Internet! Xelestial (talk) 19:40, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Legacy Dialogue
Let me know how you're going to go about it if you would. I suggest using the videos of in-game dialogue. The dialogue between companions is USUALLY the easiest, but others appear to also trigger differently depending on:


 * 1. What Act it is.
 * 2. Import files (maybe, unsure, but I think so at least with Anders)
 * 3. Romance, of course.
 * 4. Hawke's past decisions.
 * 5. Hawke's personality.

So basically any dialogue concerning any changeable past events or Hawke is difficult to nail down. The way the Youtube videos all goes in order of one character, starting with Anders thankfully, so it's easy just to focus on one character at a time. However, whoever added the initial Legacy stuff as you know, did it under each character so essentially we have to....


 * 1. Transcribe the dialogue/format it.
 * 2. Identify conditions.
 * 3. Reformat all the Legacy dialogue into it's own section.
 * 4. Make sure every companion involved has a copy of the dialogue on their page.

It's sort of a big task, but I'm confident with help we can handle it quickly and provide fans with what they need and want! I'll work some more on transcribing the actual dialogue today and add it to the appropriate talk page if I need help figuring out conditions. I will also work on task 3 if I have time. I'll be out of town for this rest of the weekend, but I'll be keeping tabs if you decide to work on it soon.

P.S. I also have a sneaking suspicion that much of the Legacy dialogue is bugged, so we can't just go through it and check for conditions necessarily, because a lot of it won't trigger and I've played Legacy at least 3 times without getting even a fraction of that dialogue.

P.P.S. I see you've already done task 3 for Anders page, thank you! I'll continue with him. Xelestial (talk) 18:09, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE- I just finished adding Anders dialogue, how accurate it is I don't know since I had to guess on which versions of Hawke's personalities were talking. If you could work on getting the dialogue he shares with others in your spare time (if I haven't already) on their pages, I would appreciate it. Xelestial (talk) 15:22, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Added my "tic"! The siblings talking to Hawke are the most difficult. I just found out they are dependent upon friendship/rivalry as well as all other previous conditions. The person who made the video I sourced offered to help me figure out conditions if needed though, so I think we should save the siblings/Hawke banters for last. Xelestial (talk) 17:29, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that's the one :) I'm sure you can see my comments on her video. We'll really end up needing the help because some of the conditions just plain elude me. Xelestial (talk) 17:33, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to try to work on those conditions and whatnot on the pages you finished the bulk inputting for. I have some experience with those now, so I may be able to do it quickly. I won't be able to for another day or two though, so only if you don't complete it by then. Xelestial (talk) 13:59, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

How do you want to handle the Anders' insanity banter? Should we just keep it all on his page? As you know all the companions have something to say about it throughout his breakdown but it's only 1-3 sentences. I noticed you have a piece on Varric's page. Xelestial (talk) 13:58, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

That's basically what we've been doing, isn't it? Finishing the bulk and then going back and adding special conditions or Hawke's dialogue. I'm working on completing what you've finished the bulk of right now in fact. Also, yes, I agree, we should just put the condition as Ander's hearing voices or something like that and just gather all the character's remarks on it under that in the Remarks section. I suppose if I'm tidying up what you've done the bulk of right now, I could go and do that. Some of the Legacy dialogue that is still within the DAII section still needs to be removed also. If you like, I could do that today on the ones you've almost finished. Bethany and Carver will have been filled out just by finishing everyone else's, almost I noticed. Xelestial (talk) 14:18, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Update- Have finished adding Hawke conversations, remarks and conditions to all LIs. I think have found slew of misc. dialogue at the end of DanaDuchy's party banter video, the final one Part 6, so will likely be going back and trying to figure out how and where to add it between today and tomorrow. Non-LI companions still need Hawke conversations that I was not aware existed until I watched video 6, but there appear to be only 1-2 of them instead of 3. Xelestial (talk) 16:44, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

You completed it? *jumps up and down for joy* Yay! You're awesome! Sorry I don't feel like I helped as much as I should have, but the conditions on Hawke's banter and the sibling banter really wore me out! Took me 2 full workdays just to figure out the conditions on those! I will keep an eye on the articles, writing in remarks and cleaning up in the days to come. Great work!

Interesting, I never thought of the Qunari as a parallel to the Dothraki. The link is Forum:Brainstorming: G.R.R.Martin inspiration, and I'm pretty sure I've missed a lot of subtle hints. --Ygrain (talk) 05:03, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Vague vs. specific
Hi King Cousland:

I haven't been here long, and I'm wondering whether there is a guideline I can go read that speaks to the specificity of info on the various pages of this wiki. That is, some pages discuss a quest or whatever in pretty broad outlines and some detail exactly, step-by-step, what to do. I don't know whether this is because no one has gotten around to fleshing out the more general pages, or whether someone has been geeking out a little too much on the more specific pages.

I want to make sure my contributions fit the overall vision for the site. Did I maybe click that I had read and understood something I didn't read or understand?

Thanks, Methylviolet (talk) 09:12, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

OK, got it. So I am to flesh out the more general pages; geeking out is encouraged. Yay! Methylviolet (talk) 10:29, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

hello, king small question how do you put your Dragon age account on my page

User page protection
I hope you don't mind, but I have currently protected your userpage for an infinite time (you're free to change its settings of course). Your userpage has been vandalized three times since you became an administrator... vandals do that kind of thing, heh. --D. (talk · contr) 00:21, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Oh good, thank you King Cousland. I just wanted to make sure. I read the rules when I first signed up here, then I remembered that rule after I posted somethings and I was all like "Opps, me and my drifting conversions." Thank you for clearing it up. :)

No it's ok, i'm glad you did it. I didn't even though of Spoilers, thank you. --AndrewDMC94 (talk) 19:06, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Ring of Resistance
Hi King Cousland - can you confirm if it is possible to steal the Ring of Resistance from Irving? I've tried many times, and have received miscellaneous items (poultices, potions, gold, runes, etc), but never this ring. I've also contacted the person who edited the page with that information, so we'll see if he/she responds. I'm playing on the PS3. Thank you! --MCJD4ever (talk) 14:26, September 6, 2011 (UTC)MCJD4ever
