Man after doing two daily rounds of WQ's for War Resources for this stuff, the decision to tie all Forsaken decor to them seems even weirder bc there's just no Forsaken connection at all here beyond them being part of BFA overall I guess. WQ's are like 99% Troll or Kul Tiran human content.

Good housing news for my fellow Forsaken!

Best source of War Resources seem to be WQ's - the normal ones reward between 30-100 but the World Boss drops 250, so if you have a lot of alts to do it with, that's an especially good source

The choice to faction-lock exteriors is going to bite them in the ass pretty hard unfortunately, not just due to obvious things like this but also just the sheer lack of variety beyond orc/human landscapes.

I will go feral when undead exteriors come out and I can't use them in the Duskwood section.

Found the blood elf house exteriors and I sure love that these are faction locked!

Also really hate that regular items have incredibly low drop chances AND share loot tables with other items. Been killing the same Banished Knight over and over for over an hour to get his chest armor. Still hasn't dropped but I've gotten three helmets, a leg armor and a halberd

I think my single greatest issue with Elden Ring is that after you die, it takes like 10 seconds for your death animation to play out before the button to reload appears. It adds so much tedium to the experience in any challenging area and the animation doesn't even look interesting whatsoever

“waaah my art isn’t good enough to fully portray my GREAT IDEAS, I need to use AI” listen i spend years putting my terrible art online and having strangers tell me it was terrible and off-putting and then i did it long enough that it got less terrible so sorry if I have 0 sympathy for your plight

A colored sketch commission of a World of Warcraft night elf sentinel Phandris Silverbark. She hold axes above her head; behind her is a black-ish moon, a reference to Elune.

Can you tell I love Dragon Age? :D

A crocheted Dread Wolf from Dragon Age: The Veilguard. He is grey with brushed fur (acrylic) yarn for his body and ears, fluffy/scraggly black yarn for his mane and tail, and has six(!) needle-felted green/blue eyes. His muzzle is scrunched a little and lightly brushed with chalk pastels to add depth. Wired legs and neck allow for light posing. He stands here on four legs on a white backdrop, facing to the right.

A (freehanded!) crocheted Blackwall (Dragon Age Inquisition) amigurumi, standing outside in the early morning sunlight in front of the branches of a pine tree. His arms are at his sides (kind of in motion) as he looks up and into the camera. He is 18"/46cm tall.

He's wearing his casual outfit—brown gambeson, dark brown boots and gloves—and each piece of his clothing is detailed.

His gambeson has white X stitching on his right upper arm, a belt (with a buckle, belt holes, and a "leather" strap to keep the tail down), a collar, ties and clasps down the front, and beneath the gambeson, a metallic chain shirt (peeking out from the open part beneath his belt, and a lighter tunic showing just beneath the very bottom of the gambeson.

His boots and gloves are belted, and each belt has buckles, belt holes, and most have the same "leather" strap to hold the tails down. His gloves also are gloves, not mittens, so each hand has five fingers and a thumb. His boots are flat and dark grey on the bottoms, so he can stand (with some support).

A belt is cinched around his waist, and beneath it is red/brown padding with white trim. This belt has a round buckle (all the other buckles on his outfit are square). Additionally, the belt is overly large, as it is in game, and so it loops around itself and hangs a bit—visible in pictures I'll put in the replies.

His face is highly detailed and sculpted, using multiple sculpting techniques. His nose is crooked and protrudes from his face, his hair, including beard and mustache, are brushed yarn (and then needle felted to shape his facial hair and brows). His eyes are needle felted as well, and chalk pastels were used to color and shade his face to the best of my ability. Small amounts of chalk pastels were also used on his hair to lighten parts of his beard and temples.

And, in all of that, I only stabbed myself with the felting needle once! :D

My crocheted Taash from Dragon Age: The Veilguard wearing Plumed Platemail armor. They are 9 inches (23 cm) tall, with wired arms and horns, needle-felted eyes and brows, a bead necklace (secured), and painted and embroidered details on their armor. The armor is mostly teal (for the “feathered” arms, shoulders, and chaps), with a mint-blue plate covering their chest. Their midriff is exposed, along with their arms around their elbows. Their gauntlets each have a trio of off-white bone spikes (firmed-up and shaped with Mod Podge) sticking out just below the elbows. Wrapping along each arm is red “rope” yarn, which winds between the spikes and up to the shoulders, where it doubles up to resemble straps. Their boots are dark grey, with light grey cuffs (embroidered with gold); around their ankles are red ties and a gold disc.

Taash’s long, white hair is braided and tied back with a gold cuff near the top of the braid, and a red band at the bottom of the braid (both crocheted). Their hair is secured with two small elastic bands beneath the red crocheted tie.

In Taash’s right ear are two small gold hoops and a gold disc (all yarn). Similar discs decorate Taash’s boots and belt, and hang from the ropes on their arm. A small gold stud is embroidered below Taash’s mouth, and a gold ring circles a small amount of hair at Taash’s widow’s peak.

Taash’s right horn is green, with a thick gold cuff at the horn’s base, along with a thinner cuff near the middle-end of the horn. Their left horn is brown and features another thick cuff at the base, and a thin gold wrap near the end of the horn.

I lost track of how long this took me to make, but I’d estimate between 30-40 hours.

A small (7.5" tall) amigurumi of Cole Dragon age. He's wearing a large hat that hides a lot of his face, a patched, raggedy top with a quilted shoulder pad, a belt around his midsection, and dark trousers. He has a dagger in each hand.

In this shot, I'm holding him in my hand in front of a white backdrop.

Yeah, Vorgoth is Bani's dad. It was Vorgoth that found her in the tombs as an infant and then raised her (with some help from other Watchers)

"No MT weapons because we couldn't work out how to do it with everyone being so OP."

Okay, sure. Makes sense. Until we remember that they added back the other time-limited power based items (the M ToV "no death" sets & AoTC mount) that are EASILY obtainable the NANOSECOND you hit level 80 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
