Fenris - A Machinima Adaptation of "A Short Story" by David Gaider

[PreyAmongTheWolves]

This is ammmmaaaazzinnnngggg!!! It needs much more views - and likes!

[Pwnz0rz12222]

Great work! And Fenris is sex on legs-3

[KOSMOSandTELOS]

So, I assume someone who can do a decent Gideon impression will be doing Fenris' voice?

This looks amazing so far. I look forward to seeing more :D

Also, your voice acting is superb c:

[sweetdesiresxx]

I wish I can favorite this 1,000,000 times! xD <3

[EmpressRan]

.....There are no words to describe how happy I am the have found this video.

'spam hearts' <33333333333333333333333

[JuggalettexSpaz]

I love this so much. All I can think, though, in the first minute is "Isn't that the asshole bartender from Redcliff?"

[Dahlialynn]

@JuggalettexSpaz Heh, they look almost the same don't they? Though they are similar in body structure and general appearance, Lloyd from Redcliffe is actually clean-shaven and his hair is parted to the side.

[xxprincesszeexx]

WOW! Dahlia, you have always been a legend, but you've just outdone yourself tenfold!!

This was AMAZING!!!

And Gideon Emery's voice <333333333333

I love this so much, words cannot describe

[Dahlialynn]

@xxprincesszeexx Thank you. This really, really brightened up my day and I appreciate it :)

[heatherwind]

Dahlia this is absolutely brilliant. This is far and away better than any other fan vid I have ever seen so far - and I do not say that lightly. Every aspect of this is SO well done! As with your other DA:O mods, you capture the on-screen essence and emotion of the characters so beautifully - I cannot wait to see the rest of it!

[Aoscadin]

Ah! Gideon Emery did special lines for Fenris just for this?! That man is so cool!

[Dahlialynn]

@Aoscadin indeed!

[LyriumWolf]

I'm in awe, seriously.

Great job, really really great job.

[Dahlialynn]

@LyriumWolf Thanks so much!

[SesshomarusMoonGirl]

I just fangasmed... all over my keyboard...

THAT WAS FRIGGIN' AWESOME! <3 *clings to Fenris* x3

[AbsoluteApril]

Wow Dahlia, that was Fan-flippin-Tastic!! You (and the others) did such a fabulous job with this. I bow before thee and squee with glee

[Dahlialynn]

@AbsoluteApril Thank you :)

[kin23g]

The two dislikes must be Danarius and Fenris's sister

[TripleR031]

@kin23g I see Hadriana joined in xD

[xxprincesszeexx]

@kin23g her name is Verania~

[8LadyPunk8]

Brilliant !!! :D

[TheSestren]

BioWare really need to offer you a job. I can't believe how brilliantly this is... and I sat wondering if Gideon Emery did the voicing for this; at first I just figured you probably cut together dialogue from DA2 - but wow, he actually helped? That man is amazing... bravo to him and bravo to you and all who worked on this too - great job!

[erettew]

This is absolutely fabulous epic piece of work. I wish I had the patience to learn tool set myself but...the talent you have is worthy of admiration. :)

[RangerHuntress]

FENtastic!!!

[transitline]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT sweet. soo awesome!

[kuniklos]

That was extremely well done! So impressed!

[TheTasha47]

dahlia lynn.. u are AWESOMEEE!!!

[Vampirvork]

Fenris rockssss

[WookieeLover101]

Holy hell.....words cannot describe this...

[Odakage]

Wow! I am just blown away! I mean how did you make this did you use the the DA tool set using Dragon Age Origins and modded the crappy out of it, I ask cause that looked like Dragon Age 2 but that would be a miraculous feat to pull since DA2 is hard to make custom scenes for.

[Dahlialynn]

@Odakage Yes, we used the DAToolset and had had quite the tough time converting the Fenris model, but we finally managed :)

[Odakage]

@Dahlialynn Bravo then, dare I ask for more...encore?

[randomkiddiesXD]

I can't believe how incredible your modding skill is! Ever thought about taking part in a professional career in game programming? I really am in awe with all your works. By the way, is Fenris' dialogue from in-game or did you actually have help from Gideon Emery?

[Dahlialynn]

@randomkiddiesXD Thank you! I share an equal passion for both gaming and scene creation, so most certainly, yes. To answer your last question, you will find a special 'Thank You' during the final part of the credits section ;)

[Almerane]

Omwow... This is awesome. Just...wow.

[coldcoffee]

Oh, this is extraordinarily well done.

[tik999]

One of greatest videogame machinimas evar

[BlackNightyChan]

Amazing work! I love it!

[painexkoichi]

Very awesome work! If I saw Fenris break in my home like he did, I'd be like "Hi :D" XD

[MrsFilobert]

@painexkoichi I'd be scared. But if he used the same grin as in this story...I would also drool.

[painexkoichi]

@MrsFilobert lmao no kidding! Sink to your knees and picture him in boxers <3_<3

[Dahlialynn]

The awesome feedback really makes every minute spent on this project worth it. I'm so glad you enjoy :D! I especially appreciate the dedication of all the talented people involved. I could have never done this on my own..so a major thanks to all who have been involved, and thank you all for the wonderful comments!

[Nats494]

Amazing !!!

[randomkiddiesXD]

okay this is incredible! thank u so much for creating this!!

[raptorandrex]

Wow. This was gorgeous. Beautifully done. I look forward to seeing more.

[karrypto86]

A very good adaptation of Fenris' short story. Your skill is significant with modding. I wonder if you are interested in adapting Anders' and Sebastian's short stories as well in the near future....

[Dahlialynn]

@karrypto86 Thank you :) I can't say yes or no at this point, only that I am in the midst of completing scenes for Hidden Circle at the moment. Once that is done, if considered, it will require gathering art resources, and teamwork from other contributers (level design, modeling, texturing, music, voice talent) in order for a project like this to materialize -and a lot of time :) If there is enough fan interest, and time available, I can try :)

[46LCG]

This is simply breathtaking!

[TypoWolf]

Your magic touch with the Toolset never fails to awe me, and leave me very much envious. I never load a game without your mods, and really loved the cinematics of this. My hat off to you, as always!

[Dahlialynn]

@TypoWolf Thank you so much :) Good to see you !!

[steph01423]

Wow! O_O This is amazing!

[InfectedArtanis]

Impressive. I wonder, could you make a video where Hawke manages to save his mother? no one bothers to do it, or maybe they can't.

[Dahlialynn]

@InfectedArtanis That would be more within the realm of DA2 modding I believe (which currently modding at such an advanced level isn't possible with the DA:O toolset). -Unless you mean an original scene with generic Hawke. Regardless, taking resources from DA2 into the DA:O toolset is no simple task. It would take time, a good story, additional voice acting, and a vision. There are a few people I know of who are working on scenes now, but I have no idea what they are working on.-You never know

[InfectedArtanis]

@Dahlialynn Yeah....DA2 is very limited due to no toolset, hence why I wondered if its possible to do in DAO toolset. I don't think you need to worry about voices, the ones from the game are good enough.

[Dahlialynn]

@InfectedArtanis Since Hawke is human, it may not be as hard as converting Fenris, which has a very unique model. Regardless, you may want to post a project wishlist on the BSN. (Or host your own) It will most likely have to be a team effort though. I have 35-40 scenes to polish up in the Hidden circle, so I wouldn't have the time in the near future, and a project like this would need a lot of time and energy (at least for me)

[InfectedArtanis]

@Dahlialynn I understand. Maybe in the near/far future you'd be up for it. :)

[Dahlialynn]

Subtitles now in Polish :D Thanks to Ilidan172009 !!

[Ilidan172009]

@Dahlialynn

It was an honor for me.

[Mokurable]

You, my dear, are THE PRICE!

[marcymariehunter]

love it great job *sighs* fenris

[ffinfinity1]

Holy shi- does Fenris sound like Balthier from FFXII

[marcymariehunter]

@ffinfinity1 same guy did the voice for them Gideon emery

[ffinfinity1]

@marcymariehunter thats so awesome you serious

[marcymariehunter]

@ffinfinity1  yes

[Ilidan172009]

This is amazing!

[MidnyteWolf]

I have to admit that when I saw people gushing about this in the forums, I thought it was going to be incredibly amateur-ish before I clicked the link. But I was very, very wrong. And I can say I'm thoroughly impressed with this. No real words, even.

[MissMina]

AMAZING! Wonderful job on this! I've never read that short story about Fenris (I am such a horrible Fenris fan girl for not >_<;) but this video has piqued my interest. I shall go read it now! <3

[AnnoyingAsianWitch]

By the way, AWESOMESAUCE! Not even a fenris fan!

[AnnoyingAsianWitch]

Varric's one would be nice but it's mostly ambiance and dialogue :/

[Kuroloki]

Oh my god...I remember reading that and you got every detail, right down to the arrow whizzing past his head in the alley.

[WTFM]

you should make a bunch of short stories for all the characters using game style. not a huge fan of the actual live action stuff. doesnt fit right esp with this game series.

[xXAnnelieseMichelXx]

The "Jealous of Bianca" Group? Genius! XD

[baschofdalmasca282]

dragon age would be better with cut scenes like this X3

[vanishedfaces]

STELLAR. This is SO awesome!

[Goldfirecat99]

You modded Fenris into DAO?! So brilliant! I don't suppose there's a mod where you can do that? I'd love for my Warden to be Fenris.... anyway, this is so awesome. Wish it was a webseries.

[UndesiredDeath]

Love it!

[TheVerticleSmile]

Very well done! I remember reading the short story before DA2 came out and loved it as an introduction to the character... but to actually see it is just awesome. You executed it really well and the fact that Gideon Emery added his 2 cents in there... wow. I'm impressed. :D Keep it up!

[ExiledSoul12]

Wow, this follows the story a 100% down to every last detail!! I'm watching this with my jaw drop literally! AMAZING work! :D

[Beronof]

amazing

i love it ! 

[gucci13]

how did you made the voice acting? especially for fenris?

[frustratemyself]

Fantastic work.

[obsydiandreams]

I don't have the words to properly explain how amazing this is.

....so i'll just show it. :D

*SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-THUD*

[harriereaper]

Dahlialynn, you never cease to amaze the masses.

[jdipietronh]

Wow, very impressive and enjoyable film. One thing I noticed is how no frame is wasted in here. Each second is carefully crafted to convey meaningful material. Great VO work too!

[YoukiiChan]

wow! :D very, very great!! :D

[shadowoflightdragon]

Impressed that you got Gideon to do VO. I would have assumed that for copyright reasons he wouldn't be allowed.

Excellent video! :)

[awsome12380]

that one dislike must be danarius

[AmethystStar94]

Amazing, great job! :D

[ObeymyKrull]

Nice, when your done with this one you should do Anders short story

[abcdefghijkxyzz]

Please do Anders,this is fantastic !

[MarlsAni]

Fenris in dragon age origins? Fuck yeah! Take that for not giving us modding tools Bioware!

[EvanesceKunoichiX]

Oh how I love Fenris!! This was amazing!!! XD

[Cakebaby53]

That's so amazing! Thank you so much for sharing! Can't wait to see what you do next!

[deryth]

nice. epic man.

[lizski26]

I love you

[ceridwenelf]

I love it!

Beautiful job!

(Oh, & by the way? People who kill Fenris - stay far, far away. You're just very, very creepy.)

[Vvoornth]

Fantastic!!!!! More please!!!! :)

[mangajunkie]

This awesome even though I hated Fenris and killed him at the end, I still enjoyed this story.

[loptrew]

Awesome. Really really good. I didn't think I could ever care that much about Fenris :p

[fritzywiggins]

Fantastic quality--keep it up!

[Yalran]

Decent scene, I had a few issues with it though;

Fenris's model doesn't match with the rest of the Dragon Age: Origins models, perhaps recreate him the best you can, it would look less awkward when you shift scenes between Fenris and other characters. Also I noticed a handful of animation quirks that need to be ironed out, because as it is a lot of movement looks stiff and robotic. Beyond that I would say this is done pretty well.

[SynysterShadows1213]

This is beyond amazing! Wonderful work :D

[LoneWolfPrincess23]

This is AMAZING! I first saw it on Dragon Age's Facebook this morning; you told the story at a great pace, the control of the characters was smooth and precise (especially during the fight scenes; VERY difficult to pull off), but I have to say the greatest strength was how expressive everyone was, especially Fenris. Thank you for bringing this piece of my favorite character's backstory to life.

[MahrCheen]

Thay are waving these weapons like it weight nothing. Liked the movie though. nice job.

[MahrCheen]

@MahrCheen weigh*

[yukimasahiko]

I can't decide between fenris or anders I love them both ^^ But awsome video u did I loved it.

[ArtemisMS]

Really beautiful ... broke my heart, too. He's so alone here :( At least I know things will end happily for him when he meets my Hawke :)

[Shadowswoods]

<3

[Vampigeon]

Amazing!! :D

[FastNFinal]

Ahhh NO I want more :(

[soulure]

Nice work, enjoyed it.

[MrJohnny777]

This is fan created? It's awesome!

[CGAggy]

How do you make this stuff?

[insertawesome]

Bioware featured this on their facebook page, you sir are that much of a boss.

[Sirenella]

PURE LOVE!

[kasiulynas3]

what the fuck is this shit?!

[MissJelouu]

Wow, this is amazing!

[noctoi]

:D

Done in the Origins style! *dances* This is so damned awesome!

[abcdefghijkxyzz]

A-W-E-S-O-M-E.

[RealTifalockhart]

FANTASTIC! (*_*

Please more!

[Pyewackettt]

FNFNFNNFNFNFF that was beautiful. ;w;

[asphodeline]

Brilliant! Great job with adapting Gaider's short story.

[witchthief]

FANTASTICO.

As usual, after all <3

You're great!!

[Saphiera12]

puppy eyes!

[cerulean93]

This is absolutely amazing!

[hawkins347]

By the Maker's fiery breath! This is awesome :)

[icyofthealps]

This is fabulous <3

[Dahlialynn]

Thanks to all of you for your wonderful feedback! It's inspiring to say the least, and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you enjoy it!!

[Firenand]

@Dahlialynn will be subtitles ?

[Dahlialynn]

@Firenand I've added Captions :D (click on cc icon)

[Firenand]

@Dahlialynn thank u ;)

[vampyric0menace]

@Dahlialynn - Fenris is my favorite character out of all the Dragon Age Series, Thank you so very much for this, it is so very well done and made me want more, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this and look forward to seeing the rest and more!! <3

Again, Thank you <3

[bamboofart]

3:24 ...Fenris Approves

[Sitthstudios]

This is awesome. Im just loving that Gideon emery took part in this :D amazing work, well done <333

[Ladyofpayne]

Please tell me you did one cutscene or many short?

[Dahlialynn]

@Ladyofpayne This was comprised of 5 separate scene captures

[Ladyofpayne]

Can you do Anders too?

[Taranee66]

@Ladyofpayne WANT SO MUCH!! :3

[kevynspeed]

@Ladyofpayne Anders might be harder to do since it branches with DA:awkaening which has ur own choices keeping him alive and stuff

not to mention hes kinda like Wynn with a case of spirit possession inside him

[Ladyofpayne]

I love you so much.

[SadisticFruitcake]

There are SO much puppy-eyes in this vid. and a great piece of work this is, also from Gideon Emery's side, he never disappoints as Fenris! <3

[TropicalFool]

Lovely bit of work -- thank you!!!

[sabyarr]

love it! OAO <3

[Vakarianify]

Holy fuck, this is incredibly! I can't wait to see what else happens!

[YuhimeScorpio]

Great work!

[ceddiebear]

I'm speechless. This is real good. :D

[StevenMKelly]

Incredible job to everyone on the team! Dahlia, you've put so much work into this and it really shows. It's a real honour to be involved ;D

Steven.

[Dahlialynn]

@StevenMKelly Thanks Steven, wonderful work on the Voice! It was a pleasure having you on the team :)

[MistressRhea]

[negacrow]

My god that was amazing. Well done!

[xhellenism]

There is only one word for this: perfection.

[dmatx]

This is bloody AMAZING. One of the best things I've ever seen out of the fandom.

[masencullen]

This is the most AMAZING DA fan-made clip I have EVER SEEN! And Gideon Emery actually worked on this with you! That's incredible! I can't stop watching this! GREAT job!!

[TheFlowerGirl13]

I am a little bit jealous that you were able to get Gideon Emery to help you out. This mod is amazing and I wish I had PC/

[autumnyte]

This is absolutely brilliant. I can't stop rewawtching it.
