Dragon Age: Origins is eating my life EVEN IN THE ENDING AREA.



Okay, I've not completed the final dungeon yet, but there's a... there's a reason. A terrible, terrible, very silly reason.

... I'm regretting killing Loghain.

I've finished killing the two darkspawn generals and I'm standing outside the gates to (presumably) the final dungeon and I can't go any further. Because I killed Loghain. AND I FEEL GUILTY even if I may have laughed until I felt a bit ill when I chopped him and his blood splattered all over his daughter and DON'T EVEN LIE YOU KNOW THAT WAS HILARIOUS.

It's just... his voice. And the fact he died a noble death. Also, HIS VOICE.

GODDAMNIT SIMON TEMPLEMAN, WHY SO AWESOME?

I feel like I killed Kain from the Legacy of Kain series (also voiced by Simon, for those not in the know) and that is Bad and Wrong and I'm going to have to go back and not kill him. SORRY ALISTAIR, I know I've put you through enough already with the becoming King and sexing Morrigan up and everything but, well, it's Kain's voice. I can't kill Kain's voice!

I'm glad I still have three saves (one pre-sexing Alistair. OH SHUSH, I WOULD BET MONEY ON IT THAT AT LEAST ONE OF YOU GUYS HAS ONE TOO), because I'm so going back for more.

I think there's also the fact I don't really want this game to end. I'm going to miss these characters so much it's hilarious, I've seriously been going "I LOVE YOU KISS ME" at Alistair at every possible opportunity, and getting teary-eyed whenever Morrigan says anything to me, like, ever, and I JUST LOVE ALL OF THEM, ARGH. ALL OF THEM. I'VE NEVER FELT THIS ATTACHED TO AN ENTIRE GROUP OF PEOPLE SINCE, LIKE, DIGITAL DEVIL SAGA, AND MAYBE NOT EVEN THEN.

I need the expansion and the Mass Effect games like air right now. RIGHT. NOW.

If you like Alistair, then you made the right decision RE: Loghain. On the other hand, apparently Loghain is ~*amazing*~ for conversating (not so much for tanking). I don't actually know first-hand, though, as I've still never quite managed to not kill him. DAMN YOU, ALISTAIR. STOP BEING SO PERSUASIVE WHAT WITH YOUR WIBBLY EYES ETC ETC.

Also there's no reason you have to stop playing JOIN ME IN PLAYING OVER AND FUCKING OVER. OMFG I HIT THE CHARACTER LIMIT THE OTHER DAY IT WAS LIKE MY XBOX WAS SAYING "SARA, GO OUTSIDE AND STOP PLAYING THIS FUCKING GAME" BUT I DIDN'T. I DIDN'T, AND I ALSO WON'T.

Aaaaaanyways, I'll just leave this here: swooping_is_bad

PPS: Mass Effect is like a whole different animal, and not everyone else likes it as much as I do because it's a lot less RPG and a lot more FPS, but there are still amazing characters, and the story is EPIC AS SHIT and the fact I haven't played the sequel yet is KILLING ME INSIDE.

And Awakening. Yes. Do it. If for no other reason than NATHANIEL FUCKING HOTASS HOWE.

THIS.

Glad you're enjoying, luv XD Loghain is a tough decision... I actually didn't kill him the first time, found out lots of neat things about him, then thought really, really hard about how I wanted the story to go for this character, and went back and killed him. T_T Sigh~

And yes, absolutely nooooothing wrong with repeat playthroughs with new characters and new romances, la~

XD I survived, I've got two saves now so I can natter away to Loghain on one save (HE IS SO AMAZINGLY FASCINATING OMG) and on the other STILL GETTING SEXYTIMES WITH ALISTAIR WOOOOOO.

Thanks for the notes on Mass Effect though; I think I'll grab the first one, seeing as it's dirt cheap atm anyway, and if it's not my thing, I'll not bother with the second. I'm intrigued, though!

And, yeah, I suspect Nathanial Howe may go on my to-do list, so to speak ;). What's terrible is that since I've had my change of heart regarding Loghain I'm suddenly starting to crush on him. WHAT HAS SIMON TEMPLEMAN'S VOICE DONE TO ME?

(Cheers for the comm link - once I'm done with the game I'll head on in to go OOOOOOOH at people)
