She is hot, this game had so much potential.
Wish we could save her with mage Hawke.

Totally agreed. Too bad one of the two siblings necessarily dies in the prologue, that's why all of my DA2 playthroughs except one have been as a warrior or rogue. But I'd love to have Bethany around with a mage Hawke!

Sadly I can't, I'm too adicted to magic to not make a Mage Hawke, but Carver sucks so much, even when Bethany is supposed to be annoying like "the circle is not so bad" and stuff she is still 10 times better than Carver...
Such a bummer, there should be a good mod that makes you kill Carver and get Beth as mage, or just kill Carver, he sucks.

I see what you mean... After all those non-mage Hawke playthroughs I ended up having almost all of my Inquisitors being a mage.
I'd prefer there was a way to save both of them, but it's undeniable that Carver is much more of a pain to have around. Lol, that "the circle is not so bad" didn't annoy me as much as the "We shouldn't talk here" line.
No idea if there's a mod to... "switch" who between Carver and Bethany die inΒ the prologue honestly. I've been playing on the x360, so no mod support there.

Oooooh bad-girl Bethany... Is it hot in here or is that just me?!

Yeah, she's been a bad girl here! And I don't think it's just you, I'm sure there's some... "magic" at work!

She does! Probably that goes with practicing forbidden magic!
Still unhappy about the "blood magic effect": similar to biotic effects, for me it's hard to get that kind of stuff looking good.

How do you do the effects?Β
I find using a Base colour on one layer, then using a layer of white on top of it set to colour dodge really helps the biotic effect pop in a realistic way. Β

Berserker79 In reply to elmjuniper [2015-08-30 09:11:22 +0000 UTC]
Lol, actually my approach is not much different from your own (except it's not looking as good as in your pictures)! Usually I have one layer with a colored thor's glow effect and an additional layer of another color (depending on the color of the other layer) set to color dodge. Next time I'll try exactly the same as your approach, maybe it will look better!
BTW, for this pic I also used an additional layer with an explosion-like effect set to overlay below the other layers. Maybe I've exaggerated a bit with the layers this time...

Oooh! That's a good idea!
I will try that and see if it helps the biotics pop. Thanks for the advice!

Oh yes, she's back and she's intent on practicing some forbidden spell that the elder Hawke might not like...

Thanks Joe! The poor girl isn't actually that scary, but I can't help depict also this au dark side of her... Guess it's the "seduction of the Dark Side" at work there... or just plain blood magic!
