On making a new da: origins character

"Go with the bun since I'm pretty sure this game has bad ponytail physics."

Yeah, if by bad you mean nonexistent

Trying to rival someone in DA2 and you say something that gains friendship.

Isabella to Anders: Has it ever occurred to you that there's no justice in the world, other than the one that you keep in your head?

Me:

Awakening is especially ridiculous if you played a human noble and married Alistair or Anora.

Nobles: we don't want you to be the arl because you ruined us when you ruined howe

Me: okay, but you know I'm still the queen right?

Never in a million years will I ever get over Oghren's wave when you first encounter him in awakening.

so adorable so excited

I'm finally starting to get into it. It's a slow going process, but I think I'm starting to actually enjoy inquisition.

I have no idea what the fuck is happening.

But I'm starting to enjoy it.

[exploringthedas]

I'm finding that Dragon Age Inquisition is a game that I can only play on short spurts. Like maybe an hour and a half at a time before I need to stop for a little bit.

It's fun but, also makes my head hurt for some reason. Not like the other two where I could play them all freaking day.

I’m sorry

The first time I did the Justice quest in Act 3, I trusted Anders so completely that I actually had no idea that I was essentially helping him to blow up the chantry.

Like, it had to be explained to me afterwards.

[exploringthedas]

The black emporium is probably my favourite freaking thing in Dragon Age 2. So many times I make a character only to get into the game and not be 100% satisfied with their appearance. The fact that I can go and tweak the look any time I want is AMAZING

[exploringthedas]

A lot of people complained about Dragon Age 2 and the fact that the 'sets' were recycled throughout the game.

But, if you think about it, the game isn't from Hawke's point of view. Hell, it's not even from Varric's point of view. It's from Cassandra's.

The whole game is her listening to Varric tell this story about Hawke. If you think about it, he's probably not going into a great amount of detail about the caves and the warehouses they go into.

"We were in cave." "We were in an old warehouse in lowtown."

It looks like a generic recycled map because, to Cassandra, that's all she's imagining. Varric is painting her a picture of the events that took place, but he isn't describing every twist and turn of every random tunnel they went through.

And there's something about that past-tence story telling that I find really appleaing. Which is probably why 2 is thus far my favourite.

[exploringthedas]

The mage attacks in dragon age 2 are sooo much better than those in origins. It's like watching a dancer.

[exploringthedas]

Oh man, I had no idea that you disguise yourself as a guard to get out of fort draken. Truly amazing

[seabeesworld]

You know shit’s about to go down when the game hands you a bunch of health potions AND autosaves

[seabeesworld]

I think it’s rather ironic how much I despise the deep roads, yet the dwarf noble origin story is hands down my favourite to play, despite being the only origin story to involve the deep roads.

[exploringthedas]

Oh no, I don't think so. Successful romancing of Zevran and I end with a -2 disapproval. Oh hell naw, we doing this bitch over again.
