Gotta love how right I was about the fact that surge looked just like her reference sheet.By the way sorry that it took to long for me to answer because I didn’t know I could get asks and it’s too bad that I already found out about it before finding this.

thanks for the ask!

1. How did you get into Dragon Age?

Actually, I first played DAI without knowing the other games lol. But after playing it was like "There's gotta be more right" so i looked it up and bought the other 2 games

7. Favorite DA:O backstory?

Probably city-elf or dwarf commoner. lil chaos gremlins

13. Favorite mission from DA:O?

Probably Nature of The Beast (the dalish mission). I thought the curse was such a cool concept and the story behind it was also so good!

39. Creepiest moment in the games?

I have to say the Red Lyrium future of In Hushed Whispers creeps me out a lot. it's just.. it's so sad and creepy thinking all these people died. red lyrium is growing out of people it's just ugh

65. Any epic game play moments in any DA game?

I don't have any game play moments from myself, but I did one time defeat flemeth with my mabari lol

99. Where would you live (Fereldan, Orlais, Free Marches etc?)

1. How did you get into Dragon Age?

So I was working on my dissertation for my final year of uni. Lockdown had been on for a month at this point. Stressful times. I was losing motivation to do my work, so I thought it would be good if I tricked my brain somehow. I've been avoiding getting into games knowing that I might get addicted, but now I thought ok, I'll buy a game, and only play it in the evening after I do stuff for uni. That will keep me motivated...right?

Choice was between Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Dragon Age: Inquisition which were both on sale. I'd tried Inquisition before on an older laptop which was an absolute shit experience, so I thought I'd give it another try.

Long story short, I binged the game for a month and ignored all my uni work. Who could have possibly seen that coming?

It's ok though, I still did well, but whew :)))

33. Favorite DA character overall?

It's like trying to pick a favourite song! I relate to Dorian a lot, so on some level he'll always be my fave. Scout Harding is also the one character I wanna spend more time with. Shale is amazing, Varric is king, Cass is a badass. Gah, too many, I love all of them :))

49. Something you do in EVERY DA playthrough, no matter what?

Send Dagna to the Circle, get Aveline to date Donnic, recruit Loranil.

97. What’s your favorite DA mod?

More banter! That and jacknifelee's Exquisition mod for fancy Halamshiral's outfits, this inspired a lot of headcanons for my fic about Ostwick fashion.

98. If you could be any non-Human DA species, which and why?

You know, I think I'll go with Dalish elves. It fulfills my fantasies of roaming the lands and being in forests a lot :))
