Nearly 500.000 words. That’s the number of words Anna and I have written during these last six months (half of which have been discarded again or wait to be rewritten, all because we had An Idea™ and thought it would be easy peasy to include this idea into our already nearly-done story, but that’s another Read More
Or. You know. Something to read in your coffee break. Or. Uhm. ANYWAY, as you might know, Anna and I are writing a lot of fanfiction about our respective characters over at AO3… which has, to be honest, sort of switched our priorities a bit – but there will be more letters and gaming updates coming, I Read More
It’s done. Done and over with. And I scroll through my screenshots and get even a little teary-eyed. After all, Adriene got to me. Well, it’s Hawke, what did I expect? Always and forever one of my absolute favourite characters. The last act always feels kind of rushed and is indeed much shorter than the Read More
The last Act – and I must admit, finally. This playthrough kind of dragged me along rather than speed me on, maybe in part because of how much I realized how damn hard life for my poor Hawke is. More than ever. The events in Act 2 were of a sort that left Adriene bitter Read More
While there are several conversations about death and grief that are awesome – especially that with Aveline – there is not much more to do before the end of Act 2. So when the people knocking at Adriene’s door just don’t stops showing up, she decides to give the city the finger and goes DLC. Time Read More
The big header of Act 2 could also be “People Making The Wrong Choices”. Everything is slowly but definitely going wrong. Did I not tell you that the Qunari would be trouble? Aye, they are. But not because of something they do, not yet at least. However, that does not hinder a certain someone from Read More
Three years, a mansion, riches and status later, we find ourselves in demand again. The Viscount wants us to help with “the Qunari issue”, since the Arishok asked for us by name. Something that seems like Adriene should not really get involved with and she knows it. But what can she do? Unfortunately, the Arishok Read More
After wrote my last entry for this series in which I mused about how strangely hard it was for me to connect with Adriene, I talked a lot with Anna about the difference in our two gameplays. While she is very close to Cassia, I still am relatively distant – but, while talking I discovered there Read More
It is weird to replay a game that I have played several times already, especially after replaying Dragon Age Origins, where I completely unexpectedly fell totally in love with my OC and the story all over again. I’m still kind of waiting for this to happen with DA2. I am very fond of Adriene and Read More
Ah, Dragon Age 2. Playing that game has something of coming home. It was my first complete RPG game and I still love it very much – despite the repetitive mazelike houses and caves (which I totally blame on Varric’s bad visual imagination; the story is after all from his perspective) and the really annoyingly Read More
