Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

I like my rogue, I made a fighter character, but I've played the rogue a lot more. Rogues can deal some serious damage.

I've lost two companions now, one I didn't mind, but the second kinda hurt.

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

Me: Because I'm a rogue, trying to fight a level boss by myself.

Ask me why I haven't been getting enough sleep lately. Yeah.

Also, what Gud said: Rogues in Dragon Age can be pretty damned badass. I'm very fond of double-weapon with the rogue fight moves (all the stunning stuff, basically) pretty buffed. (I find archers as boring as straight-up fighters.)

Gud: who'd'ya lose? I'm ridiculously attached to my crew. The game isn't perfect, but damn if I'm not finding the story and characters really emotionally strong where I @@ my way through most games I've played when they try to act like they care.

I think I hit the Fade maze either a little too early or without enough buff. I'm doing it over, this time with more than 3 healing potions. And I haven't exploded this time.

I have to admit I've been trying to pull off the "party swap;" and having viable romances with both Alastair and Morrigan. No one's ever pulled off the party swap before. But I think I've pissed off Morrigan too much.

And I do agree, it's not a perfect game but the story and characters are really good. It felt a little "Game of Thrones" at the start, but my fears were unfounded. It's maybe not BGII, but what is?

amych: I lost Zevran, not part of my regular crew, and now Alistair who has been part of my crew forever.

Gud: yeah, ouch on the latter.

Yeah, especially since it was all "I can't believe you of all people would do this to me" at the end.

But I think I've pissed off ****** too much.

My approval rating with ****** is 100 with both my characters (I'm not sure this reflects well on me). Since I have one male and one female character one is Luv and one is BFF.

I was kinda hoping ****** would be willing to consider Luv with my female character.

Now I'm just hoping Alistair doesn't stalk off with the download-content armor.

Um...
