muladhara: (dragon age)
So while everyone else is playing Dragon Age: Inquisition, I am sitting here playing Awakening because a) I don't have a copy of DA:I, and b) FERELDEN BOYFRIEND.

Well. And. I now have a PC capable of playing DAO and DAII, which is good, since I own the PC version of Origins (I bought it years back; I have the Ultimate edition). And I want to mod the crap out of both games. I suspect I'll have to use Windows to play both games, but I suppose that's no hardship? (I'd rather use Linux, but that means installing WINE but I suppose I have no problem with that either? OH GOD I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE).

Also I've been storing (or whatever it is) my choices on Dragon Age Keep, and I didn't know till then you could avoid recruiting Oghren in Awakening, and I nearly avoided him completely (I really don't like him, because I have no truck with alcoholics, and I know he's like comedy relief or whatever, but I really don't find him funny) except hey guess what. OH WELL. At least I have Nathaniel *happy sighs*

Oh and, I imported Circe into Awakening (who's my Cousland, whose playthrough I haven't finished yet, but who romanced the crap out of Alistair) to play instead of making someone new or using Julius (my Mahariel). When Alistair came to visit, I must admit that that scene was super cute because of his having been romanced. Awkward kissing at the end notwithstanding.

(I don't hate Alistair, I actually think he's a huge dork, but he doesn't really do much for me).

I am going to attempt to save both the Keep and Amaranthine, as well as leave the Architect alive (I honestly don't know what Circe would do, because I can't remember if what her personality is because I don't play her much. The entire point of her existence was to romance Alistair and become Queen).

So. Um. Yes. So much for my plans to spend this weekend writing!
I finished another game this afternoon! \o/

Awakening can be stricken from the list! I didn't manage to save Vigil's Keep as well as Amaranthine, but it's a short enough game that I can figure it out for another time. (I was actually surprised at how short it was - I suppose I forget to some extent that it's only an expansion to Origins, since it works enough on its own - so the end kind of crept up on me, and I wish there'd been more character detail (especially where the villains are concerned. It felt incredibly one-sided) ). But eh, it was a good waste of 15 or so hours (!!), and yay Ferelden boyfriend :D

I did not like Velanna (maybe I'll kill her next time? Or just tell her to get lost). I think Sigrun is awesome, especially since she seems to be a one-person killing machine (I know Awakening is overpowered by default, but most of the time I barely got a look in if she was in the party).

Interesting that Nathaniel is the one who gives Justice the idea of taking over a living body (and talks to him most about such things), and Justice is the one who gives Anders the idea about being more proactive towards the mages' plight. Veeeery interessssting.

I am going to go back to Origins, do Circe's (Human Noble) playthrough, and then import her into Awakening for the next playthrough of that. And I suppose I should finish Bron's (DAII) game at some point but...right now I am going to see if I like Origins any better now. (Romancing Alistair, even though I don't want to, will be weird. But Circe wants to be queen, so...)

P.S. I think f.lux is working. I am feeling a lot more tired in the evenings, even if I spend all that time on my computer, or even watching TV and then an hour or so on the Xbox. So that's good!

Scouring the internets for pictures of my Ferelden boyfriend.

I should be knitting my sock - it's probably a better use of my time, right?

Urgh. I really want someone to talk to about this (overattachment to NPCs, that is).

muladhara: (mass effect)
I am over halfway through my second sock! I have surprised myself.

I'm slightly over my self-set deadline for my current commission - but that's down to being laid up in bed with stomach cramps for four days running last week. The actual deadline is the end of the month but, as the customer wants to post the item onto its recipient, I thought it might be nice if she got it early so that it would get there for the intended time. I'm only a day over right now, and almost finished, so it's not too bad. Just annoying, really.

~*~

In other news, I finished Mass Effect 3 on Sunday. I cried, although not as much as I was expecting (I mean, I was outright sobbing by the time the credits finished, but I thought I've have been in floods by the time Shepard got where she was going, so to speak).

Also: listening to Vigil will actually make me lose my shit all over the place ;_;

Anyway, spoilers! )

And now I'm playing Awakening again. I've met Velanna, and I'm just about to acquire Sigrun. I am muddling my way through this the same way I muddled through Origins. Which is to say, badly. I've upset Anders more times than I can count, and managed to piss off practically everyone in Amaranthine.

Well, I guess my warden is Orlesian, so...(That's no excuse, right? The dialogue options often trip me up, though. That's the problem).

Oh, and: every time Nathaniel opens a chest for me (since he's my only rogue) and says, "Does this please you?" and I'm all, "OH NATE. You simply EXISTING is enough to please me." Sadly I can't actually tell him that *sigh*
