As a side note, 'Etta would want red lyrium, as it's used to power her battle harness, but that's not something she'd be willing to admit to the rest of the group. That means she has three reasons to head underground; red lyrium, dwarven artifacts and golems.

@vancexentan While I fully understand your arguments against using the Deep Roads, how many of the other characters have actual experience with it? 'Etta only knows it as the stuff her family dug up out of the ground which was very useful for powering her inventions, and I don't think any of the others would've had enough contact with the stuff to understand the risks.

At the moment Gerald is coming across as a raving madman, screaming out long unbroken rants about how dangerous the Deep Roads are, but not really being able to convince the others due to his approach. Perhaps if he calmed down a bit and explained what the problems with heading underground were in a more measured way he'd be able to change their minds? After all he's only just arrived while the others have been battling Red Templars, demons and Fade-touched nugs alongside the Inquisition for the past few months and think they can handle the situation.

Haggis is correct Gerald is the one complaining about the deep roads and he is annoyed greatly by the idea of going down there. From what I see he is not raving or ranting at all in fact he's given up trying to convince others of the dangers down there. Likewise if you're saying Gerald hasn't been doing anything it's hardly true. He's been traveling the world if anything he's seen a lot of dangerous things and he was grown up in Kirkwall politics and lived through the turmoil prior to the fall of the city.

I'm referring to Genni since she'd probably referring to Gerald not Cassius as he is the only one at the moment not wanting to go through the deep roads.

@vancexentan Sorry, I did mean Gerald. Etta's got me a little distracted at the moment trying to design a better Golem 'Enticement Device'.

I wasn't trying to imply Gerald hadn't been doing anything, just that the others are currently riding the victory high at having been involved with the Inquisition in their success against Corypheus. They may not be fully considering the dangers as right now they all think they're invulnerable and can take down gods with one arm tied behind their backs.

No offense to Fredrick meant by that.

[vancexentan]

If that's all of your points of view so be it. The way I see Gerald talking is in a way like he is reading it off non nonchalantly listing off the counter arguments and saying his point of view. He doesn't like darkspawn due to their taint. He doesn't like underground tunnels because of the chance of collapse, and he doesn't trust the wardens because they failed before. They didn't save Kirkwall from the Qunari due to their neutrality, they didn't save King Cailin, and as far as he is concerned despite being a traitor Loghain is a highly talented military officer and if he didn't trust the wardens when they had an army at their backs why should he? He isn't angry. He isn't shouting. He's complaining and he's annoyed since by his point of view there's no reason to risk the chance rather than just walk more. His voice is raised to only make sure people hear him nothing more so.

The others have their victories to rally behind and they think themselves strong as you said. Gerald is a man who looks at how dangerous things are compared to the risks. He doesn't think a quicker walk down some dark tunnels is worth the chance of dying due to a variety of things and when it comes down to things like dragons as everyone seems to bring up what's the chance of running into them down the highway and even if we run into one that just means we wait for it to leave or we walk around it. That's not an option in the deep roads there's carved out paths if we run into a group of ogres or Hurlok Vanguards we need to put them down or risk going down another tunnel off the beaten path and hope it leads us to where we're going.

@vancexentan

The way it's written makes it seem as though Gerald spoke for about three minutes all at once, without stopping to take a breath or pausing at any time. He wanders from one point to the next without giving the others the chance to soak in each point and so it comes across as a long-winded rant. After the first twenty second they'd all have just started to faze out, not hearing the words as Gerald just kept talking.

A bit like my old Ethics professor.

[vancexentan]

Guys what was indifferent in me is now mounting into frustration. Let's please just drop this ok?

[CAS1006]

@vancexentanSee, no one knows he is from Kirkwall, so you stating it here is irrelevant, as player characters we already know.

Also, just drop it. It is getting unbearable to read.

[Saarebas]

Okay subject change is needed here soooooooooooooooo......

Did anyone else want to romance scout Harding or was that just me?

[McHaggis]

[CAS1006]

@SaarebasMaybe not romance, but I wish she was a party member to have. She would have been fun to have along.
