Hey kids, do you like stories about:

• powerful women in positions of religious, military, political and nautical authority?
• POCs and other minority groups with actual agency who contribute meaningfully to the plot and spare none of the fucks for stereotyping?
• queer characters who aren’t defined by their sexuality and whose sexuality isn’t treated by the writers as some sort of self-congratulatory pat on the back but who have goals and motivations reasons for being in the story, i know right, what a concept?
• terribly broken people finding each other and creating new and weird and wonderful families?
• medieval zombie apocalypses?
• dudebros who are adorable and yet kind of suck when you first meet them but then they grow up and take responsibility for their lives and whose maturity isn’t presented as this horribly tragic destruction of their innocence boo hoo but as them getting awesome?
• people finding love again after royally fucking it up the first go-around?
  
• fabulous facial and/or chest hair?
• conversations about shoes?
• abuse victims refuse to be defined by their trauma but instead go out and do things besides feel sorry for themselves?
• men who aren’t threatened by competent women but instead inspired by them?
• terribly socially awkward people learning how to make friends and influence people and also how to turn into spiders?
• fashion-conscious golems?
• canonically trans characters?
• alcoholics whose wives left them for another woman and who’ve lost everything and everyone they’ve ever known and okay maybe they’re also super gross and farty but nbd because everybody deserves a second chance
• the downtrodden throwing off the chains of their oppression and messianic healers of broken people tearing broken political systems to the ground?
• men with really big noses?
• unreliable narrators and unconventional hero narratives and shove your damn hero’s journey already because this sure as hell ain’t it?
• body horror that is actually really fucking horrible and not just torture porn icky but like nightmares-for-days icky?
• doggies?

Then have I got a series for you:

YES to all of this. I’ve never stopped playing the Original, not three years after release, nor DA 2.

Just go get it, you’ll thank flutie later. <3

archer-and-anders:

Do you ever leave your game running during a dialogue scene to go do something and then you come back and NPCs or companions are just waiting for your character to answer? 

They’re like JFC it’s been 5 minutes and he hasn’t answered my question but this guy is like the Champion of Kirkwall I can’t just leave omg.

STORY TIME WITH PINEAPPLE!

When playing video games I tend to multitask.  I play and I also RP via email with friends.  Whenever I was playing Mass Effect or Dragon Age I would be doing this.  I tended to stop in the middle of dialogues to write my rp responses, and my roommate would start talking for the characters and having them flipping a shit because the Champion or Shepard was suddenly silent and was Shepard rebooting again or was the Champion insane.  WERE ALL THOSE PAUSES REALLY NECESSARY??!

And it was awesome.

So sit down and listen yes

You have said everything I have tried to say about Cullen.  Seriously, people think he’s the badguy when I think that no matter what he did Meredith would stop him at any attempt.  She was kinda crazy, yo.
