I've been converted. Is there, like... a meeting I have to go to?

Anyone who I beta for, or has beta'd for me, knows The Motto. So much as mention Orzammar in your fic, and you'll get a lovely comment in your sidebar containing the following icon:



I hate Bhelen, I hate Harrowmont, I hate Ruck. I especially hate Branka, and Hespith steals a chunk of my soul every time she turns away and doesn't let me put her out of her misery. I hate the carta, because they always die spread-eagled, facing my screen, and Jarvia has "plans" for my female Wardens. (My males were insulted that no plans were had for them.)

Then I gave in to peer pressure and made my Aeducan. Holy crap. She has more attitude than all of my other Wardens combined, and is a bigger schemer than Evie was. I ACTUALLY get to order the murder of other people! It's canon! :D

Behold!


She stands with attitude.


She also snarls. Exiled from your kingdom? Eh, fuck 'em.

My Dalish occasionally narrows her eyes, and my Cousland always looked rather... startled. She managed sad a couple of times, too. But this Aeducan has me enamored with her disdain. I want her to go forth and kill people and also sleep with them and then make that FACE.

Though if I ever wrote a fic with her involved, I think she'd kill Gorim, and that makes me sad.

New motto: OMG AEDUCANS, FUCK THE CARTA.

I just got to the Dead Trenches. Fuck the fucking dwarves and the fucking Deep Roads. Mira's giving serious consideration to blowing Orzammar up, because with the exception of Dagna, who is MADE OF AWESOME, everyone there pretty much sucks.

But Aeducans are kinda cool.

Make Shimmy give you her "FUCK THE DWARVES" icon :D

[twist_shimmy]

I should make a FUCK THE DEEP ROADS icon.

The Dead Trenches are where I left my will to live on my first three playthroughs. I ended up putting on an audiobook, lowering the difficulty to easy, and just BURNING THROUGH DARKSPAWN.

The bit that I hate more than any other is that fucking bastard turning-heads thingie that throws out ghosts and spits stuff at you.

The one where you have to micromanage your party every single second or they whack mindlessly at the centre column.

GOD, I hate that.

Heh. I pull them all back to the door, put them on hold, and pull spirits to me. When they drop, I run out, hit the anvil, and back to the door.

It's a bit more tedious, but far easier on the nerves.

Tried that, was satisfying once, but took too long.
