Before Arwen even reaches her destination (with Alistair, Morrigan and Leliana by her side), another major milestone is achieved. Zevran tries to jump the group, and is promptly killed without hesitation. No need to question him when he's just gonna end up as another statistic.

The group kills the assistant impersonator guy who's name I always forget and makes their way to Genitivi with relative ease, making sure to take out all the villagers before going to the mountain. The trip through the temple is relatively straightforward, no extra measures or deviation that need to be taken to get to the ashes.

The highest kill count would obviously involve killing the cultists, but doing so will bar you from killing Leliana, and I prioritize companion deaths over npcs. The group gets to th ashes, they are instantly defiled, and Leliana understandably freaks out. Arwen insults her, and so starts the stupidest fight I've ever had in this game. To illustate how bad I am at this game, I had to swap from normal dificulty to casual, and the only reason I won was because Arwen sprinted across literally the entire gauntlet arena thing and occasionally sent of a lighting cone when the guardian and remaining ash wraith were far enough away to not one-shot her. The battle music kept cutting in and out as I kept leaving the actual fight area, and it was honestly funny as hell.

But still, Leliana is now dead, adding to our growing collection of companion bodies. And Alistair also gets a reward for not complaining too much throughout this - the reaver ability :]

To top things off, Arwen also stabs brother Genitivi in the head, then heads off to Redcliffe to cure Eamon. The tower of magi will most probably be the next stop for this journey, as there is another companion to kill there.

Today I'm attacking another Grey Warden, Meg Amell by @pactvalkyrie.

As if the poor girl hasn't suffered enough, I imagined how would she feel if she knew the fate of Ferelden in The Veilguard... and I had to draw it (despite being in team comedy!).

Used some transparency effect over a blurred screenshot of the game.

Since here I can upload more images, I'm adding a non-transparent one here as if she were still alive.

I hope you liked it!

Arwen got to Ostagar pretty easily after having helped Jowan escape. Nothing could really be done in the origin story other than kill the spirit of valor and a bunch of spiders in the vault thingy. In the main Ostagar area there isn't really all that much to kill aside from the dog, however if I was to kill it, I would only end up with 2 companions for the final mission. I flipped a coin to decide the dog's fate and got heads, which meant I would keep it, but if you do intend of getting the highest kill count, taking it out manually is the way to go. According to the keep, there's also a prisoner you can execute, but I've never seen him before and I didn't find him this time so I missed out on the kill. Make sure you get him too to eliminate everyone.

After flexing to Wynne about passing the harrowing, Arwen made her way to Alistair and was promptly a dick to him as to not get attached before he gets tossed to the wolves in the landsmeet (it is a stuggle, I love him so much). He takes it like a champ and goes to collect the other recruits, then everyone collectively just gets sent to the wilds. Arwen promptly kills the dying soldier in the wilds, adding to her kill count.

The rest of the wilds search went normally, as well as the joining, since nothing can really be done that's particularly murderous. Passing through the tower of Ishal, the only difference to usual is that I went through every room in the tower to clear out the darkspawn, then let the game proceed as usual.

Lothering is the next stop in our journey.
