Does anyone else have the feeling that Idiggory takes DA way too damn seriously for his own good?

What do you think I'm going to do in class, pay attention?

That's true, though I don't quite understand what worthiness would be.

Hey.... WHAT new comics? How have I missed this?

Apparently I do.

I'd place a hefty bet that Bioware hasn't even thought about this stuff half as hard as Idiggory.

Maybe. Or maybe they'd react like a girl when you show her you've extensively researched her genealogy and come up with interesting theories about her grandmother.. and would she like to go on a date with you sometime?

I found a nice cheat mod that gives you this item, where when you use it, all the enemies die. I don't plan on using it forever, just until I get caught up to where I was before. It's making things go by a lot quicker though. That, combined with the skip the fade mod, made the Mage Circle go by really fast. I also finished the first part of Redcliffe village, first part of Denerim, and had Alistair meet his sister (properly hardened him this time too). Heading back to Redcliffe now to finish that up.

I like Digg's ideas. Having Flemeth be Andraste would be pretty damn cool I think. Would also make me feel a bit guilty for killing her. =/ Although I suppose if she's immortal, it wouldn't make much of a difference either way.

Y'know, her laugh didn't really bother me any. Sure it's annoying, but it's kind of fitting for a crazy old lady, don't you think?

Nah. It didn't blend with the rest of her sentences like a normal laugh, it sounded like someone pressed the "Laugh" button after each of her sentences. And who the hell even laughs like that, anyway? I've known old women and none of them did. That she she moves like a robot or puppet when she does it.

Flemeth is the worst voice acted character in the game. Loghain is a (somewhat distant) second place. But at least he doesn't have me working the ESC key like a rat in a Skinner box every time he's on the screen.

I really like her speaking voice, though I'll admit the laugh breaks are irritating. I definitely hate Loghain's voice more, though. Cailan is terrible, too...


Anyway, TOR's down until 7 tonight, so I'm playing DA:O instead. Started over, to make use of some of the new mods I found. Had only reached Ostagar, anway.

I'm also going to play as an Archer, which I've never done before.

Hmm, I'm encountering a bug and I'm not quite sure what to do about it. I'm trying to do Warden's Keep, and when I get to the second floor, after killing off the baddies, the door to the shrine is still locked. After a quick google search, I found out that this is an issue if either your character or one of your companions level during that fight on the second floor. Thing is, none of my companions did level. Leliana is really close (like half a bar) but she didn't actually level. I wonder if maybe one of my companions in camp leveled and that somehow affected it? My best idea of what to do is to go about doing some other questing and then come back later (reverting to an earlier save before going to the second floor) and see if that helps. Anyone else have any ideas?

The hardest things for game companies to create is the mysterious and elusive "fun factor", and the second hardest is content that hangs together. Put together your posts in a resume with a cover letter saying you want to be a game designer. They will at least consider you.

The technical stuff can be done by anyone with good training, self motivation, self training and a passion for elegant solutions. The imaginative stuff takes imagination.
