jaebilityI beat Dragon Age this afternoon. I was near tears as it reached its conclusion - the Landsmeet, the night before the battle, that final killing blow. She survived it all, my Mairen Cousland, but she didn't come out unscathed.
One of the things about this game that I loved loved loved was being able to develop my character. Her choices, who she spoke to and how - She was completely different than Pete's mage or my dwarf. Her motivations really interested me. Her motivations for her present actions, her plans for her future, and her regrets for her past. She never got over the deaths of her parents, not really, but the trauma made her into a better Grey Warden, one who understood firsthand how innocent lives could get swept up in others' violence. She was also aware - painfully aware - that more often than not it was other people who paid for her mistakes.
But she also had some amazing sex, so that definitely helped. Who doesn't love an athletic man who's good at following directions?
I've just started Awakenings. Anders is already hilarious. I like his DA2 voice actor more, but hell, his dialog is awesome to listen to no matter what he sounds like. Sooooo excited for E3 this year; I'm hoping they'll announce some new DLC.

I love how the different origins place a new spin on things. Plus, I am now having more ideas for All the Fics. I have a feeling this fandom is going to suck me in, hard.
