Dragon Age meme

1) Favorite Dragon Age game (ie: Origins, Awakening, Dragon Age 2)

Dragon Age 2, mostly for superfluous reasons, like the graphics being prettier and how Hawke has a voice actor etc. Also I like the fact that DA2 is easier to play.

2) Favorite character

Zevran or Alistair or Anders or… well I could go on. I love the fact that the game spends so much time fleshing out all the characters and gives them distinct personalities. But if I had to pick one it would be Zevran.

3) Least favorite character

Merrill!!!! She drives me up the wall. Why can’t see listen when people try to talk sense into her? Blood magic user!!!! Why would you think blood magic and demons are the answer for recovering anything lost for the Dalish!!!! *rages for eternity*

Also I never liked Stenn. To me he was a bizarre character and I never took him out with me when I went questing. So I never really interacted with him, se he just chilled around the camp the whole game, forgotten. xD

4) Favorite Love Interest

Zevran, again. :D I really liked the fact that you kinda have to woo him into admitting he has feelings for the Warden and the whole bit at the end. ;__; I sacrificed my warden so the whole funeral bit was so sad. =( Waah~


5) Least favorite Love Interest

Leliana maybe? I don’t dislike it as such, just that I wanted to get together with Zevran and then I almost got together with her by accident! Like I was just trying to be friends with her but I guess she took it the wrong way.

Also I never romance Aveline just because her own romance storyline is so epic and I’d hate to ruin it. :D


6) Your Warden’s story

I played it through with a human noble warrior (male), so things were pretty straightforward. I wanted to avenge my family and defeat the blight. I played him as a nice guy who understands how things are unfair to magic users and elves. I hated blood magic though and never taught any of it to Morrigan…

I don’t remember all the choices I made, but I saved the little boy and his mom by going to the circle of Magi for help and I helped the older dwarf candidate win the throne. The werewolves turned back into people and the elf guy died when he broke the curse. I think I made Alistair marry the daughter of earl Howe, but I’m not sure. I killed the Earl though. (First time around I wanted to spare him but then Alistair abandoned me, so I re-did it :D) I didn’t help Morrigan with her plan to get the weird baby she wanted, so she left, but I was okay with that.
So because I didn’t do the deal I sacrificed myself in the end and died. The end.


7) Favorite quest

I think I have to say the quest where you help Aveline get together with that guardsman. It’s so much fun.


8) Least favorite quest

The one where you have to fight the broodmother, also the Bone Pitt one where you fight the huge dragon.


9) Favorite class (ie; mage, warrior, rogue, assassin, healer…)

In DA2 dual wielding rogue definitely, it’s so much fun. I can’t really say about DA:O because I haven’t played it through with any other class than a warrior yet.


10) Favorite party banter

When Isabela and Varric talk about Isabela writing ‘friend fiction’ about Aveline and her husband. Also the bit where Isabela asks Fenris about how he ‘served’ his master etc. Isabela says the funniest stuff.

11) Favorite song from the soundtracks

Uh… I’ve never listened to it. I didn't even know there was one

12) OTP

Varric/Bianca, does that count? :D Aveline/Donnic, Warden/Zevran and Hawke/Anders or Hawke/Fenris


13) Mages or Templars?

Mages, always. Well except when they are being idiots and using blood magic… But even then it’s usually the Templars fault. And I’m not a big fan of the Tevinter imperium, so mages aren’t always good either, but the Templars suck. =P

14) Character you wish was a romance option

Alistair, if you play a male warden. I also really liked Wynne and she doesn’t seem that old. ^_^; I’m also sad you can’t romance people in Awakenings because I would have hit on Anders there. I don’t know if you can romance Varric… you can’t, I checked. So that would have been fun!

15) Your favorite “Bro”

Varric definitely. He’s so much fun. I always make my Hawke bff’s with him and then they snark each other. It’s beautiful. Also Aveline, she’s great, even if she sometimes doesn’t appreciate my characters shadier choices. Wynne rocks a lot too, she should be the queen of everything.

16) Your ultimate team from all games

I don’t know how effective it would be, but my rogue Hawke, Fenris, Wynne and Varric.
Or Zervan, Isabela and Varric, just for the banter.

17) Favorite Origins story

Origin story? I think they’re all great! I haven’t tried all of them, I think… The noble dwarf one was really interesting, I had no idea the society was that warped. :D The city elf story was messed up, so that’s my least favourite. Hmm, the mage story is really cool too.

So the mage one of the Dwarf noble one. I guess.


18) Character you are most like

Uh… none of them. I’m not very brave


19) Character who’d be your best friend

Aveline or Varric


20) Character you wouldn’t get along with

Sten, maybe Isabela, Fenris


21) Favorite villain

Dragon Age really doesn’t have the kind of villains I like (like Loki for example) I mostly detest all of them equally.


22) Favorite NPC

Uh… Hawke’s mom maybe? And Isabela was great in origins


23) Scene you wish you could change the outcome of the most

I really wanted to save Hawke’s mom’s life. That was just super crappy. Or maybe stop Anders from blowing up the Chantry


24) Most shocking scene

The two mentioned above. Also when I played Origins and Alistair walked out on me! I mean I think the tutorial said the party members could do that if they disapproved you enough but I had perfect affection with him, so I didn’t know he could just leave.


25) Scene that made you cry

When Hawke’s mom died. Then I also cried a bit when my warden died and they had that memorial service for him. I think I cried at something else too, but I don’t remember anymore.


26) Crack OTP

Um, maybe like Fenris/Anders, the hate sex would be pretty epic?


27) Best part of the games

The story! I just love seeing where things go, how the characters react to things, getting to actually influence the direction of the story. It’s just amazing!


28) Worst part of the games

Some parts of Origins are hard… I don’t like games that are hard, I rage-quit really easily and I don’t have the patience to figure out the right strategy etc.


29) If you made a deal with a demon what would your bargain be?

Nope, wouldn’t do it. Show me one person who made a deal with a demon and had it work out for them.


30) Hopes for Dragon Age 3

For it to be even more epic than DA 2. Maybe have more storylines to choose from, like in DA:O and have old favourite characters make a comeback, or have a cameo. I’m pretty sure I’m going to love it no matter what. :D

Well, on one Origins playthrough I sold Connor's soul for personal benefits and it never came back to bite ME in the ass :P

Haha yeah, I guess the player kind of get's a free pass with using blood magic and doing deals. ^_^;
