Can't Decide
I keep going back and forth as to whether I should add this article as a news item. On the one hand it has plenty of interesting info, but on the other it is only accessible to non-German speakers via a translation service, so who knows how many inaccuracies it has because of that. Perhaps it would be better off as a forum discussion. Any thoughts? 08:11, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am kind of skeptical of the site. I think once more English sites begin popping up, we can. I mean, we always could make a news post with a language disclaimer. 08:20, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seeing how badly garbled it is, I think I might just leave it be until an English site does a write up, rather than risk posting inaccuracies. I worry people tend to ignore disclaimers  10:26, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

i hope you can help me out
I was wondering if there was a full set in game or what would work to make it a set item if you could let me know i would be ever grateful thanks. Myrlyn1968 (talk) 09:50, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Game Informer Dragon Age II stuff
Hey, I'm a regular editor over at the Mass Effect Wiki that occasionally peruses this one. I just got hold of my issue of this month's Game Informer, and was wondering if you'd like me to upload scans of the Dragon Age II article here. I think they'd be beneficial for everyone. If you don't want direct scans (for fear of copyright issues or any other reason; understandable, but you'd miss out on the visuals), I'm also willing to type up the article's content verbatim in a blog. -- Commdor (Talk) 18:10, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be a rather substantial copyright no-no without permission. I have contacted Game Informer about possibly using images from their site and more, but I have yet to receive a reply. We need to hold off on stuff such as that for the time being. 19:56, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to add the scans themselves into articles. I intended to get the information up here for other users to see and incorporate as needed into the appropriate wiki articles, after which the scans would be deleted. I thought it would be the next best thing to showing everyone the article in person, which obviously can't be done. But, if you prefer to wait, I have no objections. -- Commdor (Talk) 21:30, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would circumvent the consumer process and defeat the purpose of selling the magazine. It would be best to wait for now. You can always sum up the information yourself, but a verbatim rehash is not permitted. 21:37, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess I'll do a summary for now, it's certainly the simplest option. My only fear is something will be inadvertently lost in translation, but looking at the bigger picture, everyone will find out everything there is to know about the game next March so scrabbling over the first few scraps of info is a needless exercise. Then again, who has the patience for that right? :) -- Commdor (Talk) 23:47, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Forum:Proposed_policy:_Administrative_autonomy
Max21, Just in case you missed it, I addresed a question to you a few days ago at the bottom of the discussion session in Forum:Proposed_policy:_Administrative_autonomy. I would be more than happy to drop my opposition if you would kindly answer my question regarding how such a procedure would work. -Vim- (talk) 06:15, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Leliana's Song/Items to Items (Leliana's Song)
Max, I'm not arguing this one. In fact I like your name better, and left to my own devices I'd have come up with something similar. I was just following the precedent set by Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, and Return to Ostagar. *shrug* -Vim- (talk) 06:38, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's something I plan on changing here in the next few weeks. 06:47, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Btw, do you have any idea why AccessoriesTableHeader doesn't list an item's description in its Notes section the way WeaponTableHeader and ArmorTableHeader do? The line to do it actually exists in AccessoriesTableRow, but it's commented out and I have no idea why. The differences can be seen in the item page you just moved since it utilizes all three. -Vim- (talk) 07:14, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * No idea; the substantial lack of edit summaries by most members is always a cause for confusion, especially in templates. You can remove the comment tag and see what happens. 07:24, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, done. Items (Leliana's Song) looks good to me. I've looked at a few other pages and they look good too. As far as I can tell the change hasn't broken anything. -Vim- (talk) 08:07, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

How did you get your charactor pic on your user page because that would be awesome for me?

Thanks
Thanks for the help with the link, I was struggling to get that to work. ---> Diesel Renz  Talk 08:23, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Cone of Cold activation cost
Thank you for the greeting. I noticed that Cone of Cold was set to an activation cost of 50 when it should be 40. I was able to change it on the Cone of Cold page, but I'm not sure how to change it on the Primal Spells page. --Gbrussell (talk) 23:01, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and fixed it. Thanks! 23:21, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Forum
Hey, i started a forum thing about how all the wardens shown in Origins were rogues, and i wasn't putting it out as fact, and it was in "game discusion" not "lore" so i wasn't saying all wardens in thedas were like that as a rule, just the ones it showed in the game. its not a theory, just mentioning that you meet six active (as in currently serving the land) wardens, who were duncan, riordan, and duncan's warden possie in the DN origin. none of these were mages or mighty armored warriors and i thought that was interesting so we were having a fun discussion about it. Why did you lock it?? i liked talking about that, and it seems that no one could find another NPC that you MEET other than the old mage guy in wardan's keep. i guess he is the exception. but i guess the whole point is that i imagined their would be more armor toting warriors among the wardens. it wasn't nice to lock the topic :( --CarloGrimaldi (talk) 03:50, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * As Fantasyeve put it: "you're eliminating all Grey Wardens that are playable, dead, walking dead, in a book, or in a trailer". You are inhibiting discussion and proclaiming something that has been proved incorrect by a number of people. There was no visible purpose for it other than to be argumentative and disruptive. 04:02, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

it does sound like im limiting it alot when you say it that way, but I just mean active wardens that you meet in-game. thats not too bad, is it? there has too be some limits on a discussion like this; no kidding there are all kinds of wardens in thedan history. and i dont mean to speak out of place but there are tons of forums about how Hawke is the god-baby (which its confirmed he isnt), that duncan's alive (again, confirmation that its untrue), that rogues are best for solo (when you can statistically prove that a lone acane warrior is better) that the maker is the evil behind it all, etc. All these strings are proved incorect, but they aren't locked, because a theory can still be discused and considered even if it is slightly ridiculous (such as a current one about Hawke being Duncan with amnesia, despite the possibilty that Hawke is a woman). It's a forum for people to express their ideas. I personaly didn't feel any heatedness or anger from anyone, just simple disagreement, which is okay in a forum, no? --CarloGrimaldi (talk) 04:19, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can't logically use the others to back you views, especially since I have considered locking many of them and still am considering it. The problem with yours was the extremely dismissive approach you took. You boiled it down to a few Wardens; and even then, others stated that is really cant be proven that they are rogues. If you want to create another one, you are welcome to do so as long as you refrain from being so dismissive. However, please do not rehash the discussion from your original forum. 04:26, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

I feel like for the future it would be helpful to know the policies for locking forum pages. on the page protected pages, it only mentions the use of locking for stoping vandals, maintaing the integrity of the main page and the logo, and stopping edit wars on articles, though I'm unsure if there are any other policy pages that mention it. Could I get help with this? and if there isn't a page for it, could you make one to explain policies for protecting forums? i think it would help prevent users like me from accidentally crossing over boundries of what is acceptable in this wiki's forums. --CarloGrimaldi (talk) 04:45, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no explicit ruleset for what get's protected in the forums. It is based on the judgment of the administrators as of now. The best thing to do is use common sense; and if you are unsure, just ask on an administrator's talk page or email. 04:48, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

hi max21. if u see the discussion tab on 'Ornamental Sword', u will see i uploaded a screenshot indicating the stats u have on this weapon in this wiki is inaccurate. could u please change the official stats of this weapon?

Question
Hello there. I have a question. I had posted some of my ideas in my blog entry. It appeared that they have been deleted for one reason - vandalism. I am asking: What did I do wrong? All this stuff is my own blog, I was not messing with any other articles. Please explain. Veskin7 (talk) 20:42, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fan-created content is not allowed on this wiki. Polymer (talk) 20:56, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is permitted within the user space, where I just now moved the articles to. However, Polymer, it is definitely not okay to call such edits vandalism. 21:08, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Had to put something in the template. Polymer (talk) 21:19, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Calling something vandalism when it is not can be considered a personal attack. Please, do not do it again. 21:23, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very well. Polymer (talk) 21:24, July 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * I just need to know what the fans of the game think of my ideas. I will not mess with anything outside my personal space. Thanks for your understanding. Veskin7 (talk) 09:13, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

question about Carlo
I was just wondering why he doesn't go and make his own page up and let the talk go that way instead of trying to make nonsense for people who are serious about the game or that like the game if he doesn't like the game don't make fun of it ? It was made for those people who use the wiki as a guide to help them get through the parts they are having trouble with. and maybe have a serious discussion about the game itself not something that has nothing to do with the game.Myrlyn1968 (talk) 08:50, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Wow, I really don't appreciate the hostility. I dearly apologise if I offended you in anyway. I love Dragon Age and have played it though many times. I don't feel like a silly or illigitimate observation about the game is dishonoring or offensive to the game or the wiki, but clearly you do, which is exactly whi we should have a policy to set rules that would prevent any comment that would offend a dedicated user. I feel like being able to joke about a game is only a joke and not a slight to the game or the creators, but in the future I will consider your feelings and refrain from being anything other than utterly serious when refering to Dragon Age Origins or any of the material within. I thought it interesting that many of the Wardens we encountered seemed better equped for a rogue rather than a hevily armored warrior, and that was the only point I intended to make. Again, I'm sorry if the way that came across hurt you or any other user in any way. I'm going to put this on your talk page as well to assure that you recieve mt statement of regret. --CarloGrimaldi (talk) 09:21, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome

Download content
Hi.Im new user of DA wikia and BIG player of Dragon Age.I want ask:Wich downloadable contect is better?:Soldiers keep or Return to Ostagar.I think its 50-50 but i think you know it because i read the page:Wich DLC is best?

Best fan of DA

Question on appropriate content
Hi.Regarding the Patches page, I was wondering if Qwinn's unofficial fixpack (http://social.bioware.com/project/2563/) should be mentioned: while it is technically a mod, it serves the same purpouse a s a patch and addressed a lot of issues ignored by official patches (eg. it enables the player to actually disable the Seneschal's guards without fighting them -such as by poisoning their drinks- during the Crime Wave quest). Since it is not official content however, I'm not sure how this wiki's policy stands on this point. Thank you for your time. --Morthasa (talk) 15:50, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Adding Images
I need some help in the part of adding images. I tried the method described in that sidebar and it didn't worked. Can you help me please? Already thankful.--The Bard From Hell (talk) 22:35, July 31, 2010 (UTC)The Bard From Hell
 * Look at Help:Images. However, do not add images just to get achievement points. 22:37, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's what I did, but didn't worked. I was tring to add the Qunari image from DA2, from my computer. Well, I'll just leave that to people who know how to use these features then. Thanks for the help!:)--The Bard From Hell (talk) 22:40, July 31, 2010 (UTC)The Bard From Hell

I was wondering if should include some of the "restored" banter in some of the Dragon Age: Origin character's dialogue pages. I've noticed I think Leliana and Morrigan's dialogue have apparently had them added, and maybe some others, but the other problem is that I did not get them myself from the game but from YouTube videos which means I'm not getting it directly from the source. I'm not even sure myself which is actually "restored" banter or not, but apparently some of them were bugged in the game and wouldn't trigger when they were supposed to, and these people had merely fixed it. So I wouldn't think they'd have reason to mess with the dialogue or find ones that shouldn't be in game without proper labels but it's kind of a weird situation so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.

What's wrong, was the pic too big? i can rescale/resize it ...
