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

Everything is sorted, and we're ready to continue. Apollo draws 2 Green for his variable draw. Apollo, when you're ready, please post your move and action.

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

Shouldn't Helo have a mutiny card up there?

Hey gang, I haven't done anything about my move yet. I'm still in shock about ita and it's been a lot to just concentrate on getting some work done today and now I need to head out the door for some meetings with students on shows where I am the mentor so I just haven't had any spare mental space. My move will come soon.

maybe we should hit the pause button for a few days.

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

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.

Finally finished Dragon Age: Inquisition today. Total playtime: 165 hours. Finished pretty much every side quest (though I apparently missed a few companion quests because they're bugged), killed every dragon (but didn't get the achievement, because again, bugged) and thoroughly explored every zone. Enjoyed it a lot, despite the bugs. Will definitely give it another, less completionist play-through after they release some more patches so I can make different choices.

I played a Dalish elf mage, and I felt like, other than one or two situations, that they did a good job of having my race and class make a difference in how people treated my character. I'll probably play a human warrior next time through who actually follows Andraste and the Maker to get a different perspective.

I may have to seize the cat.

I'm playing Inquisition right now as a dwarf warrior - race/class definitely makes a difference. I'm so impressed by the expansiveness of this world.

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

Qunari rogue, and I strongly suspect we've all had very different games.

I'm tempted to do a Qunari run at some point. That would definitely be a different perspective. I am curious about a dwarf run, since the two dwarven origins in DA:O were so well done (I've played through all the origins in DA:O but stopped after reaching Ostagar with all except my elf mage and human rogue, whom I completed the game with.)

Right now I'm replaying DA2 and enjoying having a different perspective on certain events and dialogue after finishing DA:I.
