I won't be able to post in Wake Up tonight, too tired. During the week, I'll post in Omega, then in the RPs here. Hopefully, I can manage.

Ah, the Heavy, good call West. That's definitely something we could use! Or, a flamer, flamethrowers are pretty brutal. Tho, using a flamethrower in a zeppelin-like airship might not be a good idea.

I've given the idea some thought, and I have to wonder; would Crystallis make liquid-propelled flamethrowers redundant? Or would Crystallis be incorperated somewhere into the device (like producing the flamable propellant).

Or, perhaps I actually want the flamethrower to be outdated, because we're playing a merc band and not some top of the line spec-ops. Antique equipment would make it seem more genuine, no?

Huh. Maybe a flamethrower might not be such a bad idea.

Liquid would also be able to splash around corners, something I doubt a Crystallis could do - though I imagine the range and amunition would be a problem we need to consider.

How would a flame Crystallis work anyway? Would it be like firebending from Avatar, or more like a "cone of flame" spell from a standard RPG? Or would it be just one compact gun module? Point, pull the trigger and boof. Fire.

Huh. I guess Inferi has some questions to awnser when he gets back.



EDIT: That moment when you make Alistair a Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Worst. Mistake. Ever.

Loghain appears instead of Alistair if you make him a Grey Warden.

If neither Alistair nor Loghain are Wardens, then Stroud from Dragon Age 2 is used instead.

No matter who is the Warden, I always sacrifice Hawke. The Wardens need a leader. Also it makes more sense to the plot: why would Hawke run off to be a messenger to Weisshaupt? Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

The Wardens have a master and slave owner; The Inquisitor. They'll fall in line or face an exalted march on Weisshaupt (something the Inquisitor could probably organise by that point).

Snarky Hawke is by far my favourite character in the entire franchise - especially after the Mark of the Assasan DLC. Plus, then there's Varric. I'd rather sacrifice Stroud, someone I barely know and probably won't have any impact on the game world at large. Hell, if I had the option, I'd rather sacrifice Sara instead.

I've never tried to save Loghain before; my Human Noble killed him because of Howe, my jerkass dwarf let Alistair kill him because "lol, bloodsport", and my murderelf just wanted everyone dead. Thus, I never thought to allow loghain to live through DA :O . Maybe I should give that a try.

I sacrificed hawke my first playthrough of inquisition and then immediately reloaded and got rid of stroud because, as west said, it's a character that you barely even know and don't feel any connection to. I also just refuse to do that to hawke because hawke is awesome and that just felt like the completely wrong way for her to go.


As for your question, west, yes, they essentially would. It's basically science magic, so there doesn't need to be liquid fuel for it to function properly. A cone of flame spell is probably the best comparison you have listed there. older models still exist, though, and people certainly us either them. Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
