What with all the ripping the piss out of Mass Effect Hamdromeda I went and done played Dragon Age Origins again.
Lothering: "I've had my hands full keeping the migrants from resorting to petty theft or worse"
Dwarves should have all been English, bloody, sodding, dodgy etc are unreal with a yank tongue. Liliana's inflections are even weirder than I remembered, she's also clearly just a loon.
Wade the snooty armourer in Denerim is Bioware at the time, Herren on the front desk is money obsessed
EA making him work quickly to put out shoddy products.
Isabella is a mildly foxy (if stronk) redhead and not some half-breed from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Shale was the closest thing to a tranny. (Apart from when Connor turned into the big titted Desire demon)
Loghain did nothing wrong, King Cailin was a asshat with a glory hunter mentality meeting the horror reality of a WW1 and he got what he deserved, fed the cunt to the wolves when we went back for purposes of making Alistair mewl like a bitch.
You have to be seriously half assing it to fuck up the Landsmeet and it's over in 10 mins anyway.
The art of making traps is lost forever by DA2.
There is nothing comparable to the (simple) bridge-parts puzzle in the Gauntlet to Andraste's Ashes in any of the sequels. also after stripping Liliana to her scuds and slaughtering her for what must be the 5th time Cisquisition wrankles even more as I consider her dead
Some fights are actually *sort of* hairy, provided you just blindly barge straight in without even looking at the environment, I died like 6 times with my mage vs 1 time in Cisquisition where all that was required was to blindly barge in.
OTHER SHIT:
Since The Fade is built by the collective unconscious of the people of Thedas (it has a Sun), all those demons
are most likely of their own making. They should have more orgies to bring the number of desire demons down a bit.
Elves end up worshipping or following blood mages/evil shits because they're conceited, self
aggrandising heels who handwave the patent insanity of having an inexplicably immortal boss with vague blather
about their 2deep4everyone 'ancient ways'.
Seems like The Maker would be happy or at least neutral again if the people of Ferelden wiped out the cursed Tevinter mages who became
the OG Darkspawn but of course the larger background story went out the window with DA2, even with Corephyus being offed in 3 it didn't
feel like you were cleaning house with a purpose, they just needed another lame-ass big bad to smash.
Iron Bull was a Tal-Vashoth piece of shit.
