You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Well done, Ryan.

Ouch another hit to food. Is it worth it to save five cards?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

This early in the game, cards are precious. Without them, we fail checks. I am partial to option 1. But not strongly. Both suck.

Food is renewable but without Zarek on the crew it's not a certainty.

Our wings are not tired

We Lose the food.

I think that is option one. My flight is about to take off so I can't check.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Quick update, my internet connectivity is not so reliable here. I will update things when I get home tomorrow.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Holy crap does Dragon Age: Inquisition have a lot of content. Granted, there's a ton of glorified fetch quests, but I'm approaching hour 90 and still have 3 zones I've barely done anything in, one I've mostly finished off, and a bunch I've done about half the stuff in. And I still have at least one main quest to unlock and complete (Not sure how close to the end I am as I'm trying to avoid spoilers.) and two companion quests to do. I've also only taken down one of the ten (optional) dragons.

nice! I've been watching D play Far Cry 4 and it seems to be similar in terms of richness of content. I feel like I watched him play and explore all kinds of territory for at least 5 hours and then he pulled up the map and it looked as if he'd uncovered less than 1/15th of it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Holy crap does Dragon Age: Inquisition have a lot of content.

It's like Skyrim levels of crazy. And (neither seeking nor avoiding spoilers) I gather that I'm roughly at the end of act 1 of 3. SO MUCH GAME.

Okay, based on how much blank space there is left on Solas' walls, I'd guess I have two major story arcs left.

I did have one immersion-breaking moment which I find incredibly frustrating. (spoiler for elf inquisitor): I made the wrong choice on a War Table mission and my entire clan got wiped out. Which, okay, fine, I made a mistake and actions have consequences, but none of my companions or advisers actually acknowledge what happened outside of the little war table report. You'd think that someone would have a reaction of some sort.
