C Sera with the Tempest speciality and bees!

According to Tim Curry this line was ad libbed by her and they liked it so much it stayed in.

DA2. Yelling at the screen trying to get Anders to heal during the epic optional dragon battle was extremely frustrating and, well, memorable.

E because I was literally figuring out my play style. Turns out I love rogue but I didn’t really give it a chance until DA2.

C At some point in a sketchy future I think the same thing that’s happened with movies may happen with games and we’ll see lousy derivative sequels or AI remakes. So do I think there will be another, yes. Do I think it will be actually good, no.

D Wild Sylvans. I was creeping around the forest expecting to be attacked. Alas no.

C. I loved DA2 once I got the hang if actually playing. And yeah, Anders was a real highlight for me, first video game crush that I can recall.

Allure, although I doubt she’d be much help bringing in the firewood.

Those look absolutely perfect. Christmas is the best food/baking time of the year.

A - Yes, my canon Rook shaved it all off in the Black Emporium. She never looked back. But full disclosure I love the sans hair look on both genders so this is no surprise.

D cause I’d like to see version 2.0. If I had been on the editorial team for DATV I would have sent it back for rewrites. Great start, but let’s dig a little deeper.

C to D if you’re asking about where I’d like to see more story. I really like the Inquisitor and want more of their story.

C Iron Bull. He has big chef energy. Obviously.

Yep, same here. Loghain was archdemon fodder all the way.

B Enchantment? Enchantment! Best Sandal bits in DA2

I’d take great roleplay boring combat any day. I can think of some old JRPGs where I basically slept through combat but the story and characters were stellar.

C I think I played it after my son recommended it. I’d played DAO and enjoyed it but wasn’t really looking for a new game during a really busy professional time in my life.

Sera - she’s fun and cool and way too young for any player character I’ve ever created.

A I think partly because I was more invested in role playing when I started the series, and more in game lore in later games.

B Rogue. I leaned to sneak and backstab in DA2. It was a revelation.

A I’d go people watching with Zevran.

B - I thought the combat was actually pretty good; it was fun and exciting even for repetitive battles. Was it as technically demanding as other games in the series? No. When I died it was mostly just bad luck, not bad technique. YMMV

I like the dark grey and the pink - both bring out your eyes and match your colouring.

The shading on this is incredible!

A formulaic painting of the Alaskan wilderness, with a mountain centred in the background flanked by happy trees. A stream flows from the bottom right foreground. Largely painted with blues and greens with gold highlights.

A Please take my money.

The background is black, the main figures are illuminated from an upper left light source. They are rendered in muddy yellow browns with blood red highlights.
