Sorry for our long silence – it’s summer time, summer vacation time to be more precise, and kids want to be taken care of and then I was away for first work and then vacation and now my first last week of actual vacation is somehow filled with much more tasks than I wanted to. Read More
It’s been nearly a year that I touched Inquisition – not counting the times where I logged in and out after about five minutes. After my last post in March 2017 I managed to finish the main game, more or less breezing through the story. My main decisions: Loghain stayed in the Fade to battle Read More
In my time as a gamer there have been several key moments where games touched me on a very deep level. Sometimes because I could relate to something incredibly well. Other times because something drove me up the wall and it took analysing a piece of media to realise a general issue I has with Read More
It took me a while to finally get around to write the next entry about actually playing the game. In my defence, I was busy scribbling down around 30k words of fanfiction in the meantime. Which made me neglect actually continuing with the game for a while as well. The general lull I usually fall 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
Welcome to the new year! Perfect time to review the start of my Dragon Age Inquisition Rerun – my least favourite game in one of my favourite game series.

After a longer break between games I finally got around to start Inquisition. People who follow me on tumblr know how divided I am about this game. There are parts that I love and then there are parts that I absolutely loathe. What has the upper hand largely depends on my mood and how well Read More
After a small break, a lot of Star Wars and other games in the meantime and some time out from the DA universe we are finally back to where this all started: Finishing our Dragon Age re-run. After Dragon Age 2 we were both a bit in a rut about this universe. Especially since DAI Read More
We had some lovely comments last week (thank you again, Helen! :D) asking after our DAI-runthrough. And we can promise: it will come. Just not quite yet. Both Anna and I are pretty involved in SWTOR at the moment and we created something similar to our Letters from Thedas, which basically kickstarted this blog. We 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
