Description So this game has been 80% of my summer so far. Finally got to play through it and I LOVE it. Got me doodling again too. Somehow it inspires me a lot more than Mass Effect. Hopefully you'll see more art from me soon.

1. Mages ftw!

2. I am obsessive about doing every sidequest possible, but the game started to take so long that my Warden got more and more snarky as the game went on. I like to think of it as character development.

3. As much as Jowan is a victim of his own stupidity, he's also a victim of an unfair system. Plus he seems to have a sincere desire to make things right, and I have a soft spot for that. IDK, I just think the Mage/Jowan relationship (friendship!) is interesting.

4. One too many people treating Elves like shit. One too many people thinking they actually stood a chance against me.

5. I can't go anywhere without Leliana, my human lockpick (Zevran you LIAR you promised you could open things ). u.u Morrigan tears shit up, but Wynne's healing powers are amazinggg. My mage was kinda a balance of both of them. Wynne came with more at the beginning until I unlocked all the spirit healer talents on my warden.
And of course I'm dragging my bf everywhere.

6. ALISTAIR IS SUCH A SWEETHEART. He's such an earnest doof, I loved seeing his love story play out.
And I could go on and on about their meeting scene. I love it. (NERD.)

7. I know everyone says this but I LOVE THE PARTY BANTER it just adds so much, you get a better sense of the characters and their relationships and it feels like they're really going on this adventure together for upwards of a year together, and it just puts you in the world a lot more.
Mass Effect 1 honestly gave me the sense that the team wasn't really friends because there was like, the elevators, and a few other places where there was any banter, and otherwise they never even talked ABOUT each other. After Virmire? Nothing. It was weird. Luckily they put banter into ME3 and I loved it and okay moving on.

8. Crap, this game is LONG. Normally I love it when the adventure never ends and all that, but I have other things to do this summer, okay? T__T

I am surprised that Zevran and his balls survived all his jokes and trolltalks

I'll definitely check it out. I know they were originally planning to and cut it, but it just feels weird that you couldn't recruit him Β

I know what you mean about banter's. Those gave the game such soul. I like the whole 7 panel. Alistair freaking out the most and Leliana's sly look as she asks the question. And the one where with counter offer.

I love the banter! It seems like I get new ones every time I play and it's just wonderful.

Thanks for the feedback!

Well, I've noticed you don't seem obsessive about going through ALL the dialogue options and sidequests like I am, so it probably won't be that long for you.

Okay, that might've been where half my time went.

...actually, the game doesn't count all the time I spent going back and replaying conversations, so, it's even longer than I thought.

I wonder...were you as mad and offended as I was when you found out you can't romance Morrigan as a woman?

Bioware really offended me but Leliana is great.

kryptocow In reply to CrowInTheOliveTree [2012-07-13 17:41:27 +0000 UTC]

I was REALLY disappointed I keep getting attracted to the un-romanceable females... Still not over not being able to romance Jack or Miranda in Mass Effect.

CrowInTheOliveTree In reply to kryptocow [2012-07-13 22:43:53 +0000 UTC]

LOL. Oh? Then this is the right meme...sort of.

I mean she had a certain appeal but Leliana is great. Plus I found out how HORRIBLE it would be to the Warden and me playing her near the end of the game....you have played it to that point right? I was like "I am gunna be sick"

And by the by... don't feel bad about how long you took playing it. It took me a year or so of off and on playing to get all the way through. And it wasn't because I wasn't interested (if I wasn't, do you really think I'd be writing an epic fanfiction about it??), but I just never could seem to find the time, so I had to squeeze in a few minutes here and there.

kryptocow In reply to MerlindaDragon [2012-07-10 08:25:44 +0000 UTC]

It is such an epic game! And by epic I mean both awesome and really long. It's just that I was expecting it to be around 30 hrs like KotOR or Mass Effect, and then I realized I'd hit the 40 hour mark and the end was nowhere in sight... And I have such a problem with leaving stories unfinished, I have to know the ending. So, there went the first month or so of my summer. Worth it though. My inspiration's gone way up since I've started it.

MerlindaDragon In reply to kryptocow [2012-07-10 14:29:07 +0000 UTC]

It's really good for that. Sometimes I just have to go back in and play a little bit to keep my inspiration up... especially when I was running around in the Deep Roads. Fucking sucked... I freaking hate Orzammar and whoever came up with the idea it should be that much of a grind needs to be shot.

But I really love my party. (As you say, the banters make it worth it.) So there's that. And Alistair's adorable and loveable, so... yes.

Aughhh I was so cranky by the time I got to Orzammar because it was the last treaty I got to, and by that point I just wanted to get on to the landsmeet already, and I'm trying to stop a blight here, can't you all figure out your politics yourself, this is not a Warden's job. u.u Also I'd started to notice the areas that had no purpose except to make it longer. (why do I have to fight through this room full of ghosts just to get a key... why could that door not just be open.....)

My Warden is generally cocky yet polite, but she was was really sarcastic in Orzammar.

MerlindaDragon In reply to kryptocow [2012-07-10 20:13:45 +0000 UTC]

I think your Kana and my Myranda would get along splendidly... Myra's quite sarcastic herself at times. Orzammar was my last treaty, too, but I think that part's annoying no matter WHEN you do it.

kryptocow In reply to MerlindaDragon [2012-07-11 00:21:07 +0000 UTC]

I often wonder about what it'd be like if the other PCs got recruited instead of Jory & Daveth. The potential for "what might have happened" in this story is so huge.

MerlindaDragon In reply to kryptocow [2012-07-11 00:24:17 +0000 UTC]

'Tis true... and as I understand there's a great deal of (collab.) fanfiction that deals with that very topic.
