It's rock and gold

The once and future housemate, because she has had to listen to me constantly complain about how computer role playing games have two too many words in the title, got me Dragons Age as an early birthday gift.
Perhaps also because she felt I had too much free time on my hands.

Because I'm already at the twenty-four hour mark on the game play clock, and despite wrestling with the interface at times I'm really enjoying it. I have no concrete evidence, but I get the impression that my game play actually does affect the story. The scenery is gorgeous, very LotR, and there is at least the beginnings of nuance in my dialogue choices. And I'm making sure that every time an NPC leaves the party, I take all their stuff before I lose control of their inventory. Because I'm a mercenary even if my character isn't.

(Me, a Grey Warden! Who'd have thought?)

No worries--I'm counting the 'party wipe start over' time instead of the game counter for the 24 hours, so it's misleading.
Yeah, I met the hot witch chick in the fishnet bra with the fat attitude, and thankfully she didn't dump me off back in the wilds because we were pretty beat up.

I wouldn't have minded if they had turned Jory into a toad at that point. Sallow-faced bastard.

Morrigan's fantasy-chick attire is pretty funny. But she's voiced by Claudia Black, so that makes everything a-ok. :)
