how will i know if he really loves me

Soooo, how about that Inquisition, eh?

So far today I have:

- recruited Vivienne. I also flirted with her because she has distracting cleavage. She pretended I didn't. I don't think she likes me much because she (even though she's a mage) approves of the Circle and the Templars and I don't because FUCK YEAH FREE ALL THE MAGES *coughs*

- Got lost in the Hinterlands. Twice.

- Got lost at the Storm Coast and almost ran into that fucking dragon there TWICE.

- recruited Iron Bull (and Krem!!! I love Krem! Also I wasn't sure what I was expecting with Jennifer Hale's voice, but I think she does an excellent job). I'm not sure what to make of him yet, not sure how I feel about his voice, but ehhhhh.

- met Dorian. OH MY GOD DORIAN. (My male inquisitor is going to have the time of his life with him, I think).

- by which I mean I FOUND REDCLIFFE. Although honestly, WHAT THE HELL WAS FIONA THINKING. I MEAN. WHAT. No no no no no no. Even Vivienne thinks Tevinter is bad.

- I was actually looking for Blackwall. I didn't want to, but eh. I figured since this is my first go, I should recruit all possibles out of fairness. Because I don't want Sera, either. But I'm willing to see what both of them are like for myself. I guess.

- I flirted with Cullen, and it was hilarious because he got really fucking flustered. I LOVE THAT (reason #1 why I love flirting with Aveline). Also then I was kind of like..."dang, Cullen". AND MAN ALL THE COMPLICATED FEELINGS*.
(I can't romance him as a dwarf anyway, so flirting and making him uncomfortable will have to do).

*Because Templars, and Templars are asshats, but somehow he got hot somewhere along the line, and oh crap shit bugger bollocks wtf.

- my romance options are THE WORST. I did think about romancing Josephine, but I'm not that drawn to her? Oh well, art imitating life for once, I guess. (For reference: Blackwall NO, Sera NO, Iron Bull NO, Josephine probably not *sigh* Others unavailable because I'm not the right gender or race. I think the race locking is an interesting idea but right now it's really annoying me because I'd almost sort of warmed to the idea of romancing Cullen**. Shame I can't romance Alistair when he turns up because DANG).

**TELL NO-ONE.

- I am drowning in Elfroot. The stuff regrows, too! What am I even supposed to do with this??

- About seven and a half hours in (my last estimate was off by a few hours; I've played about four more now).

- Went to Val Royeaux. Man, I dislike Orlesians. Especially Cassandra's ex-boss.

- OH I WANT TO STAB RODERICK. That's not a surprise to anyone, right?

- Also being a dwarf, I am the right height to punch men in the groin. This pleases me.

Oooh yeah, and the main theme is amazing and I want to listen to it ALL THE DAMN TIME.

List of Bioware characters because it needs to be somewhere:

Mass Effect

Guinevere Shepard (Nev) - soldier/sole survivor/paragon/romanced Kaidan

Zoe Shepard - infiltrator/mumble mumble/paragade/romanced Kaidan (nobody is surprised)

Ras Algethi Shepard (Ras) - ???/???/renegade/romanced nobody (so far; I haven't finished ME1 with him yet)

Lucas Shepard - ???/????/renegade/generated in ME2 so Worst Day Ever Shep/will romance Cortez - it will be an unhealthy relationship for both of them.

Dragon Age

Julius Mahariel - dalish rogue/morality uncertain; hated humans/romanced no-one

Haidee Caron - Orlesian human warrior/tried her best, annoyed everyone by just being Orlesian.

Circe Cousland - human noble/I assume morally good, but I spend so little time playing her I can never remember/romanced Alistair/will become Queen - I imagine she had a torrid fling with Nathaniel Howe because NATE but also hate!sex; Alistair knows NOTHING of this and never will.

Eirian Hawke - warrior/diplomatic/romanced Isabela

Bron Hawke - mage/aggressive/attempting to romance Fenris. Good luck with that!

Merrick Hawke - rogue/sarcastic/romancing Anders - in this case I imagine he has a strong set of morals, but is totally blind to everything where Anders is concerned because he's just so wrapped up in him, which is unhealthy like whooooaaa.

Leila Cadash - dwarf rogue/mostly morally good/will likely romance nobody, though she likes making Cullen squirm by flirting with him.

I think that's everyone :)
