A Quick Update

Much as Mom and I try to keep life from interfering with posts, that doesn't always happen! 

We took a brief break for Christmas. Then I started a new job. And I moved. In so doing, I took the only computer in the house that will run Inquisition with me. She should be finishing up Legacy next week (I think, I'm not sure what she's doing right now) since her computer can run DA2, but she's shopping for a computer that will run Inquisition, too! 

Stay tuned, we're not gone! Promise!

Even though we're on a hiatus for the holidays, I had to share this:

Mom: Reg, can I--is that a new game? Reg: Shhhhhh, we're playing Fear Not this Night. It's hard. Mom: Aw, that's so cute! You have little hand bells. Reg: [finishes song] Okay, what's up? Mom: I want--are you a boy? Reg: Er, yes? Mom: Reg, he's gorgeous. Reg: You said that about the plantman an hour ago. Mom: Boy-you is very handsome. Reg: And the plant is hunky. Mom: Yes. What game is this? Reg: I'm not letting you play an MMO. Mom: Oh, it's one of those weird games you play with other people? [leans closer to Reg's mic] Hello, Reg's friends!

"The plant" in question is Trahearne.

My mother meets Guild Wars 2.

A HUGE THANK YOU

We have received SO MANY messages about Mom's help that we can't possibly respond to them all privately. But we both wanted to thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts, reading this blog, and all that good stuff. <3

HI GUYS REMEMBER US?

I badgered Mom into completing the Deep Roads this week. She has two quests to go (I think): Shepherding Wolves and Acts of Mercy. We'll be posting starting tomorrow.

As some of you know, she's had some health problems lately, and this Sunday she leaves for an extended stay in Mayo Clinic. She's going to try to wrap up the Deep Roads before she goes, but we're going to see if one of our old laptops isn't too old to run DA2 while she's off having adventures.

Thanks for sticking around, and we look forward to sharing more insane adventures with you starting tomorrow!

Re: Hawke's personality. You can check your Hawke's personality by switching to another party member and then clicking on Hawke. Hawke will say something nice, funny, or blunt depending on the majority of dialogue choices thus far. It also 'resets' somewhat at the beginning of Act 2--whatever you choose as your *first* response at the start of the act (when you're talking to the Viscount) is heavily weighted and can switch you from one personality type to another.

I just loaded up DA2 to do this. Mom!Hawke made comments about being the leader of a band of merry misfits and then demanded to know what earth-shattering problem needed her attention this time. The last one I got was "Hawke this, Hawke that. Why does every little problem fall to me."

Wait. Mom!Hawke looks like the default (at least, to me), but Carver and Bethany's faces/hairstyles only change when Hawke's head type is different. Am I missing something here?

I use appearance mods, that's part of it. I know her head mod isn't the default, and her complexion/skin color definitely aren't. Mom is playing on my PC (cries), so she has all the appearance mods I do.

I'm loving this blog! Just out of curiosity what personality does your Mum's Hawke have?

Since I wasn't sure, I asked her, and she said she tends to pick the second and third options the most. So a direct, but snarky Hawke who doesn't have time to deal with anyone crap.

Which was pretty much her Shep.

what are you planning to do when your mother finishes DA2 (and the DLCs)? any other games you're going to play? or will you just wait for DA3?

Mom will probably just wait for DA3 and any other ME DLC that are released.
