Badass female pirate captain FTW!
There's just something about the way she pwned all those jerks with her bare hands. And that was some quick draw she did with her dagger when that punk was about to pull out his sword.
Yeah, definitely sent a big fat message 'Do NOT mess with Isabela' to the room and a hell of first impression for Hawke... and for myself. I thought she was pretty cool when I saw her in DAO, but when I first saw her intro in DA2, I had to admit that I had a sudden 'fangirl' moment going all 'OMG!! She's SO awesome!!!' for a time.... and another one when I reload the save to watch it over again. >///>

This journal pic succeeded in taking me back to that time. I think you managed to capture every moment of that scene very well, such a kickass moment. And I think it's save to say that Hawke was very impressed with Isabela? ;3

Best introduction to a character ever in Bioware, right? And one of the best fights in the game too!
About poor Hawke's opinion on her, I think her face in the previous page synthetizes it quite well

Isabela's the best character in the game. x3 She's so badass.

I liked Isabela and Varric so much because they are so uncomplicated! They are not committed to a cause, hold no particular grudge against anyone and don't really expect much of you. I'd say in a D&D they'd be the neutral good and neutral chaotic class. The rest of your companions want you to commit to something or to take positions or to help them in missions that go against your beliefs and they want to talk you into sharing their beliefs. Varric and Isabela will mostly talk you into sharing a beer

Varric's awesome! I agree with you about the other companions... Sometimes I just wanted to slap them. >.<

Aveline's my second favorite character. I wish she was romanceable! D:

But if she was then we wouldn't get her funny quest. XD

Hehehe! For me it was a sort of big sister, so it's ok she's not romanceable. Varric, though ...

Caricacaea In reply to crisurdiales [2012-01-31 02:37:36 +0000 UTC]

If Varric were romanceable everyone would romance him. XD

So instead we get all these squealing Anders and Fenris fangirls... Dammit, BioWare... -.-

I liked that scene, and it was a good introduction for Isabela.

Oh one little thing about her. If you slept with her in Dragon Age Origins, she will say "I even knew the Hero of Ferelden", meaning, "I even slept with the Hero of Ferelden". If you did sleep with her in Dragon Age Origins, Alistair and Leliana will have something to say about it if they also slept with Isabela. I won't say more so I won't spoil what happens.

I think it was the best introduction to any character in the game but, of course, I'm kinda partial to martial arts myself!
I managed to beat Isabela in the card game with some help from Leliana, so I won't get those comments. Too bad, because anything with Isabela is usually a laugh

GalacticGhidorah In reply to crisurdiales [2011-11-14 18:15:51 +0000 UTC]

Meeting Isabela after having slept with her in Dragon Age Origins is really funny. If Alistair slept with her, he would say "Oh...Isabela...so nice to see you". If Lelilana slept with her, the conversation references how Leliana "didn't take long to start singing" XD

Thanks! I really, really like weaponless combat scenes. This was a great brawling shot with some jeet kune do additions here and there

Just my kind of friend, if she didn't keep stabbing you in the back every now and then. But that's part of her charm also

hehe thank you! this is one of my fave moments in DA2 ^^ the way she was playing with Lucky and his goons, like a cat with mouses

My fav scene too! And damn fast, I had to go to youtube to capture it roughly: everything happens in a few seconds! I had already taken some live notes on a Jeet Kune Do seminar (e.g. [link] [link] ) but they were moving slower for us to follow.

Thanks! I like to draw people in motion, specially in combat, but it's quite tricky ..
