#why anders why

I literally spent all day yesterday playing Dragon Age.

Well. I did some rp replies for Soren, then at about 11 a.m., I started playing.

Besides a short intermission, I played until about 10 o'clock p.m.

So I finished Awakening, did an alternate ending where I didn't burn Amaranthine ('cause everyone got all butthurt when I did, especially since my character is an elf, so it got turned into a racial thing and they hated the Grey Wardens forever WEiowerjghlairghsirhnuigethnuisevt BUT ANYWAY) and then I played the Darkspawn Chronicles.

My heart.

But it was kinda funny, because regardless of who I'm playing as, I ALWAYS get stuck on the part in Denerim where you have to get into Fort Drakon. ALWAYS. Freakin' Sten kept beating the crap out of me and all the other darkspawn would die so I would have to go back to get more and that brought more dwarfs out and sweguihelrgfuihfgiuhdfguhdfslh

Ergo. I suck at Dragon Age.

And with the companions I encountered, I gradually got more angsty.

Ohgren: Oh, whatever, he's just that weird drunk dude

Zevran: He's a backstabber anyway, but he was kinda cool

Sten: I wanted to get to know you better...

Alistair: I CAN'T HOW DO OH GOODNESS MORRIGAN I DON'T LIKE YOU THAT MUCH TOO BUT STILL AND LELIANA I HAVE TO KILL YOU ALL AND did they seriously name that dog Barkspawn really

So yeah. I exploded.

And freakin' Awakening. How does Ser Pounce-A-Lot grant you the ability to revive everyone in the party? Really? How?

I also felt bad because I saved before the encounter with the Architect and I decided to have him help me and I had to kill Justice. And I was screaming the whole time. I really was.

So I got to the Mother and figured out he REALLY WOULDN'T HELP ME THAT MUCH ANYWAY and I didn't even end up using any of the towers for help because I abused the crap out of Ser Pounce-A-Lot so nothing else even mattered. I had points where everyone in my party had five or six injuries and I'm like, "Nope. Just keep fighting. It's the last battle, you can deal with it."

So I ended up just finishing the playthrough where I didn't kill Justice but burned Amaranthine. Aaaaaaand then since everyone was angry at me, I decided to see what happened if I abandoned the Vigil. Which made me feel just as bad so it really didn't matter either way anyway.
