(no subject)

I forgot to say that I finished Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I asked the library to buy the second book, because they have the first and the third (it is a trilogy, in case I hadn't mentioned that), but not the second. So, hopefully they will pony up and get that.

I really enjoyed it and, actually, while I had a minor gripe with the romance, it wasn't that bad? (I don't approve of absolute love at first sight, but other than that it was OK. I mean they didn't spend pages and pages expounding their absolute love for each other, or whining about how they missed each other when not together, so I call that a win).

I finished up ME3 the other day, and made THE WORST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE IN ANY GAME EVER. THE WORST.

THANKS FOR RIPPING OUT MY SOUL, BIOWARE.

Also Steve absolutely broke my heart because he thought Shepard was coming back alive and no, nope, that most definitely was not happening.

(Now replaying Eirian Hawke in DAII because I never finished Isabela's romance properly, Eirian is my baby, and I am in need of all the happy feels right now).

Game meme, questions 26 - 30 (aka The End!)

all the questions

My answers (which include a wild HUGE DA:I spoiler!!! so don't read it if you haven't played/finished it) :

26: Handheld or console?

I like both, but handhelds are more convenient. My DS got a heck of a lot of use when I was commuting, and also I like that I don't need the TV to play on it.

27: Has there ever been a moment that has made you cry?

OH MY GOD HAS THERE. Red XIII and his dad in FFVII; The ending of Mass Effect 3; having to choose between Hawke and Alistair in DA:I (I was literally shaking at that decision first time through I am not kidding you); the end of FFX; probably the end of FFXII (because ungodly attachment to twins and all that), though I can't now remember if I cried or not; and other bits and pieces here and there.

I've also cried in frustration when I've not been able to beat a boss. Evrae (FFX) gets the prize for being the most frustrating and annoying.

28: Which character's clothes do you wish you owned the most?

OOOH I DON'T KNOW! I actually like some of the stuff the Inquisitor can wear - there's a short jacket that's part of, I think, just the rogue armour, that reminds me of a biker-style jacket I used to wear and I really like that. We won't talk about the beige jammies though (though I don't mind them?)

I kind of like some of Dorian's gear as well, although hands up who's surprised about that, right?

29: Which is more important, gameplay or story?

STORY. I will not play/will stop playing a game if the story is rubbish or isn't grabbing me. Even if the gameplay's a bit naff or whatever, if the story's gripping, I'll stick with it.

30: A game that hasn't been localized in your country that you think should be localized?

*shrugs* *plucks an Atlus game out of the air* ;)

I honestly don't know. Most of the games I want right now are all English speaking anyway, so it's not a problem.

Wow, this meme ended on an anti-climax...
