...can't breathe...laughing so hard...

I am literally crying. Oh, Maker...

I just tried the More Options at the Pearl mod. It is quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen in DAO ever. Seriously.

I had Mira choose Zev and Alistair. The intro has the camera on the boys and then shows pieces of armor being flung onto the floor. I'm playing with Natural Bodies, so of course, everyone's naked and the guys have hard ons. The mod has them doing practically everything you can think of without bringing toys in, all with snippets of dialogue from other places in the game. And to top it all off, the mod's really animated with humans in mind, which means that Alistair's dick was in Mira's eye when she was trying to blow him. Because of the limitations of the engine itself, Mira's o-face is the same as her deeply concerned face, both of which make her look vaguely bored when Alistair's going down on her. ("Blue...I think I'll paint the ceiling...blue.")

Since that was so much fun, I decided to try one of the other options. I got Mira, Amber (the Pearl employee you have to talk to to trigger the whole thing), Leliana and Morrigan. There was Morrigan being spanked, among other things.

The Duncan/Cailan/F!Warden...well, let's just say that one really only works with the human female warden. Also, for some reason the modder made Duncan resemble Liam Neeson in more ways than one.

I honestly can't remember when I've last laughed this hard.

...and interesting to read. I'm curious: do you find it hard to do that kind of playthrough?

Also, what are you doing up, woman? It's like what, 3:30 where you are?

It is, and it isn't. I admit, I sometimes vent my frustrations of real life through the game. I myself had a "knight in shining armor" who betrayed me by disappearing without a trace when I joined the Navy to support the both of us, and I did go off the deep end in my attempts to try to rectify what he'd done, because he was my first real love, my first lover, and my fiancee.

It took me years to come to terms with it, but I never got official closure, as I still have no idea what happened to him. I got at least a sense of informal closure by finishing that campaign with that particular character of mine. Who needs therapy? (I kid, I did see a professional and it helped, but silly enough, that particular campaign did things for me that the therapy didn't.)

I ended that campaign in October 2009, and it was an...odd feeling, it really was. I had forgiven him for hurting me, but never forgave myself for the people I hurt. After seeing my own actions through a different set of eyes, and seeing how people were affected by them (albeit killing werewolves and taking the side of the corrupt instead of shunning friends and family) I felt like I could forgive myself, and I did. While I still go back and play her on different saves, and do things slightly differently, I don't change much. I left Sabia in camp to think about everything. It's part of the reason I felt the need to write her story, because it helps.

AANNND I'm done making you feel awkward XD

It is 3:30, but I'm a night owl and work the night shift at work- i go to bed at 6Am and work from 4 to 12am. =3

Thanks for sharing; it's an interesting story. I think that's why I love Bioware so much, that sense of identifying with the character. Mira's got some elements of who I am, who I wish I could be, and who I'm afraid of becoming. This may be why I'm doing a third playthrough with her. *rolls eyes at self*

4-12? Wow, that's real second shift, not my 12-9 thing. My problem is that I'm going to bed around 6 these days myself.

Thank you for reading my rambling <3 And it is why I adore Bioware so much.

And yeah, 4-12 is an average shift- we close at 11, but since it's a bookstore, we have to straighten the shelves and that can take a while. XD

And now it is bed time for me!
