I know I've mentioned it before (and by this point it may be too late anyways), but I recently watched another LPer get spoiled by the Black Emporium DLC and it sucked. So I feel the need to warn you one more time to just avoid anything to do with TBE, like don't even *look* at it, at least until you've completed a quest called "In Your Heart Shall Burn". It'd be such a shame if you got such a big part of the game ruined for you.
Ser Landry is the Knight who accuses you of being a Warden and a traitor in the City Market. You can convince him he's mistaken or later end up fighting him in the alley ways of Denerim.
Yeah took a little to track it down but roughly 1:51:00 of Ep.15 Mapo Intimidated him to walk away. It was right as all the Denerim glitching started happening.
The personal footage with the recap narration is so good, definitely a more engaging way to get into Mapo's story so far. I can't wait for the first episode on Friday!
My favorite part was when Varric was narrating DA2 and its gets to the "but there was one man that stood amist the chaos" and it immediately cuts to Hawke's dramatic "I DIED AT CHATEAU HAINE!" Clip. The Champion of Kirkwall everybody.
Man, I can't believe you went ahead and edited clips from your first 2 playthroughs to "combine it" with Varric's narration from Dragon Age Keep. I honestly say that's going above and beyond for this and I think it's a really cool idea. First time I've seen it done anyway, so just great job with that dude! Btw, I go on holiday for like 2 weeks and you finally start DAI :O. Have some catching up to do. Enjoy the game man!
Aww, I like how you weaved in your own gameplay footage with Varric's narration, makes it more personalized and more interesting to watch. Also, weirdly enough, nostalgic, I suppose. (weirdly because it hasn't actually been so long to have nostalgia but the feeling is there, if that makes sense :P) About the Isabela romance, I wanted to say something about it at the end of the DA2 LP but didn't want it to be spoilery or backseaty. The romance with her will always be more free and open, you both do your own thing without feeling locked in place with each other but you still have strong feeling for one another. I think in terms of flag setting in the game, you didn't fully romance her though because, if I recall correctly, you need to give her a gift in Act 3 that you buy from the merchant in the alley underneath the Docks (there's a sewer entrance close to the entrance/exit into the zone) but you didn't really go there during Act 3. Best of luck in DAI!
What you said about Mapo Hawke and Isabella makes sense. I also like the Dalish guy and Gleyna retcon. Marrying Alistair or Anora is only possible if you're a human noble and the opposite gender to them.
@@volourn9764 Coff coff coff tell me you haven't played Dragon Age Inquisition without telling me you have played Inquisition. XD You will see. But I recommend you to be more mindful with Orlais and there are not France
@@mara_jade021 Dude, I'm French. I played Da3. I'm not gonna be mindful of orlais. They are laughable. I dint need to prive my da3 'cred' espicially since that requires spoilers and I won't do that mapo or those who watch because it's a BLIND playthrough.
@@volourn9764 Then saying Orlais is not important lore-wise is like saying China is not important in today's world. Spoilers free I am Spanish and lol Rivain has zero importance so Even if you do not. like X nation in Thedas that doesn't mean that they have no impact and importance in the lore and plot.
Nice touch with the personal footage... Haven't seen it done before... Now I feel like everyone should follow suit. Grade A good.. glad to be part of this journey 🤙
Great video! The recap was fantastic! I love watching mine as it is, but with the custom scenes it was really something. OH and Re: Bevin in Redcliffe, his sister asked you to find him. You went to their house. He was hiding in the wardrobe, but you didn’t find him, so he likely got murdered by undead, LOL
Yeah, same - I liked it when it first released but was a bit ambivalent; returned to it during COVID lockdown and was blown away by how good it was - I honestly think it's the best BioWare game (since the very early Baldur's Gate days at least, those aren't really comparable). The epilogue DLC certainly helped a lot making the game feel like a coherent whole, but even then, it's such a cohesive, well thought-out game where every element has greater thematic meaning, that the real depth of the writing only sinks into you after a long while.
@@samdubois8007 Absolutely! I think I didn't quite appreciate how well they hit that delicate balance of open world with story and consequences. The game mechanics were interesting and fun to use. Like any game, there are things I think could have been better. But it really hit a sweet spot for what I personally like in a game!
Nah, the gameplay is awful. The story bits had some really good beats though, and the characters were hit or miss. But, the mmo style gameplay makes it one if bios worst games. I have yet to finish because it gets boring.
Extra Dragon Age Keep Content! Super cool. Loved your DA 1 and 2 playthroughs and very excited for 3. Before it starts popping back up on the channel and the flood of Dragon Age comments come back, one last pitch to try to ignore as many sidemissions as you can stomach ignoring until the end of Act 1 - even the developers think it was a mistake in hindsight to open up such a flood of side-content that early on before tutorial features are even fully unlocked. And definitely don't even read the premium content descriptions until the end of Act 1 - Major Spoilers in Black Emporium Description they never edited out of the in-game descriptions! (Basically, powering through Act 1 before abandoning Main Story missions is ... both helpful and safe). I'll shut up about this now =)
I'm a side quest addict who feels compelled to do everything, but I definitely agree with this. It's definitely best to power through the opening Act before slowing down a bit.
Oh god, the Black Emporium thing pissed me off so much when I played it. Couldn't get DA:I when it released cause my PC was shit, had to wait six months, managed to get by without spoiling myself on anything ... and two hours into the game, I learn the first big twist from a shitty bit of DLC integration. I was livid.
@@sverker7826 Helpfully UA-cam decided to show that post under this video, lol. Either way: encha.. excitement! Can't wait for the undoubted baldie duo 😆
This was awesome loved how you did the narrated recap. When you saw that mistake of the warden killing loghain. I also had a thing where my warden didn't get saved properly in the tapestry. So I had to redo a solid 8-12hours after I read a codex incorrectly mentioning my warden sacrificing himself to kill the archdemon.
This was a lovely way of recapping the story! I do wish you'd change Fenris' fate though lol, it's just so bullshit that you were at 95 and needed a 100 (if you hadn't missed his gift in Act 2 you'd have been good too). I really hate that mechanic, and if they ever do a remaster or remake I hope they revamp it to make more sense.
Actually, if you checked the Ostagar prisoner's cage in the DLC Return to Ostagar, you can see the remains of the prisoner laying in the destroyed cage. He didn't make it.
Thanks for taking the time to put all this together mate, it was awesome. I've been here for the entire journey so far and I'm beyond excited for Inquisition; it's guaranteed to be every bit worth the wait!
That was great! Awesome job on editing all that footage together. Glad you also then went through the tapestry yourself. Your Inquisition playthrough will be epic
make a lady, name her Mapina :D also I really appreciate the extra effort turning the recap into a clip show, really shows how far the Mapos have come around
Upon reading the title I immediately put inquisition back in my library for another side by side playthrough with ya' can't wait for the journey and your experience with this story. And Great video/editing do far about half way through as of yet.
So excited to watch you go through DAI. I'm playing the game too currently and have been thinking when you'd start your own gameplay of it. Well it's nice to know it'll be soon! ☺
Sweet, I'm jazzed for the Inquisition playthrough. Especially since I put my own replay of it on hold about maybe 15 hours in until you got around to playing it too, haha.
I also have canon Warden a Dwarf. I think it's fitting that Dwarf saves these lame Humans and Elves against enemy they battle for centuries, practically alone in the depths of Thedas, with exception of Grey Wardens.
As has been pointed out already, your character did not lock into Isabella's romance arc. You just did some casual friends with benefits thing. It is totally fine to RP and retcon they ended up together after all was said and done
Love how involved you got in this series. It has its ups and downs, but I really enjoy it as a kind of cinematic RPG. I hope BioWare will hit it out of the park. I've heard some of your comments on how "light" DA2 was on certain RPG aspects and can't recommend enough that you give some modern cRPGs a try. Divinity: Original Sin 2 is a sure choice. Baldur's Gate 3 which is coming out soon should be another. My favorites have been the Pathfinder games, a bit harder to get into, but some of the most reactive narrative in modern gaming. Love when the games actually acknowledge my decisions!
DuPui was killed by Varric if I remember right, so he should be dead But I can even say how MUCH I look forward to see you play Inquisition! So much to cover so much lore to uncover
That’s an odd one in the Tapestry. Cause you get caught up in “what choices did I make,” and if during the investigation you let him live, you want to choose that. But then, like Mapo, if you bring him along during the final fight and he shows his evil face and you have to kill it, the “World State” is that yes, he is dead. 🤣
I am looking sooo forward to Inquisition. I know that people are divided about that game. But they were also about DA2 and you liked it. I loved Inquisition for its story, interesting "open world" and characters.
@@volourn9764 Well, but without anoying people you are forced to play with .. lol. I didn't mind that aspect of the game. It comes with open world / Party battle.
It will be pretty cool if he checked out summoner 1 and 2 this was my childhood on PS2 also very good classic that seems everyone has forgotten but summoner 1 has funny ending a little gag man it takes me back I would say summoner 1 and 2 is quite similar to dragon age your main character has rings to turn into monsters and beasts to micro manage your party lots of skills and exploration Edit: it will be awesome to see what mapocolops thinks of the game and see him playing it btw you can get summoner 1 on steam not 2 though you have to play that on an emulator
Personally. The recap to me is perfect in length and exposition.. a returning player ot a new player only need the broad strokes of the story and the lore of the world. Frankly nobody should care if two random NPC got together or not,.. those "quests" are embellishments for the games. They serve for moral questions or simply to pad the runtime of the game itself.. as impactful or loved a quest an NPC or a companion is.. unless they have a pivotal role in the game... It matter little in the grand scheme of things :) Games that wanna have "personalized stories and branching narratives" need to have a tight control on what influence sequels down the line, if anything. Changes need to be subtle enough not to be too taxing on the whole franchise but noticeable enough to make the experience look more personalized (or tailored)
Maybe I don't get what you are talking about, but I'm sure the DLC is there in the Tapestry - at least the choice of the Warden going with Morrigan through the mirror. The one DLC that's not in the tapestry is the "Return to Ostagar" one. And the ones you play other characters.
I remember you said maybe in the beginning of DA2 that you will play female character in Inquisition... So i hope you will... Maybe I just inagined it but i dont think so....
female elf is the best for inquisition in my opinion and gives you the most options (not to mention it's samantha traynor's VA for british and she's brilliant) but of course it's obviously up to the player since it's a choice based game
Oooh the time has come, i have been looking forward to the Inquisition playthrough. DAO is my favourite but DAI has some outstanding story moments and characters. It is a rather bloated experience due to the open world nature of the game and that can hurt the pacing but otherwise very enjoyable. Recommend plaything where enemies scale up to your level though as otherwise you will crush everything without challenge. Strength of the game is definitely more in story and character than gameplay.
I would recommend before beginning Inquisition is reading The Masked Empire and Asunder, it describes the events of the Orlesian Civil War and the Breaking of the Circles
I haven't played the game for a long time. Then I realized that I can't connect to EA APP's server and I can't play it. What the hell is wrong with the people who designed EA APP that you can't play a single player game without an internet connection?
I love this..I watched all DAO and Da2 playthrough except the end of origins because I can't stand Anora, plus another reason that you will see:) Bevin was the little boy that you were asked to find in redcliff.

@@BlueMarsalis there is a note that you can read in the BE that spoils the villain of the story no matter if you've met them or not

Damn, you went full nerd and extra quality content on this one. Narrator Varrick and footage to supplement Keep? Very nice)

You can also be Alistair Misstress and it is noticed in game and in lore if You are alistair official woman. (In Orlais is a very prestige title)

I believe it's if you sleep with Morrigan as part of a romance, but then later refuse to do the Dark Ritual.
can wait the inevitable dwarf playthrough in DAI... hopefully he is gonna be a jerk dwarf :D at least some time :D :D
I love this..I watched all DAO and Da2 playthrough except the end of origins because I can't stand Anora, plus another reason that you will see:) Bevin was the little boy that you were asked to find in redcliff.
It infuriates me to no end that this is all attached to a website that could go down instead of actually being in game.
