UNDERLYING MOTIF.

Tagged by: @audaciis​ ! Tagging: steal it from me hehe

the dog. whether it’s the way you bare your teeth when backed in a corner, your loyalty, or your tendency to act on instinct, your reoccurring theme is the dog. like mitski said “i get mean when im nervous, like a bad dog” or how halsey said “i won’t smile but i’ll show you my teeth” even when migos said “dance with my dogs in the night time” the essence of the dog runs through you. you’re tough and a quick draw on the outside, but if we got down to it we’d see you’re acting the only way you’ve ever known how. it doesn’t make you bad, survival is natural, your loyalty and determination is commendable. i don’t blame you for the way you act when your back is against a wall, but please remember to not bite the hand that feeds.

Random DA:O Thoughts - Pt 13.

Found a set of quests in Denerim for Rogues. I wasn’t sure if I could do them since I’m a mage, but seems like I can. Haha one of them I had to pick up body bags and dump them in the well. I almost choked laughing cause Alistair was looking at Norua funny. Like “Ah… Norua, we’re dumping bodies now?” “Well we’re killing people everyday, so…?” “Fair enough!”

I now know what all those love letters are for too. Haven’t found them all. I have a feeling there might be love letters in two locked chests in the Arl’s estate in Denerim - which I can’t unlock. Oops!

After speaking with Anora, I spoke to Alistair. We’re planning to run away together, living in sin and eating cake. Excellent!

Can finally go to the Elven Alienage. There’s a few side quests I need to do in there.

There’s a weird plague. Also something shady going on with Tevinter Mages. Hmmm…

The giant tree is sooo cool! I love it! Now I finally have found all the places of power :D

Haha it cracked me up that after I spoke to this elf lady about whats going on in the town (the elf I freed from the dungeon was there and told me about her), I broke into her house and stole all her stuff hahahah. Classic DA :D

A Templar named Ser Otto wants me to be his eyes and investigate some evil in the alienage. He’s blind cause a mage hit him with ice magic I think. Anyway I had a look around, found some creepy clues. Now we’re all in a creepy orphanage :/ damn it reminds me more of Silent Hill than DA. Super creepy whispers and ghosts. Gross blood stains and fire damage. Where’s the mist haha. DAMN creepy demons!! NOOO Ser Otto died :( was stabbed with a giant pitch fork. Ahhh annoying. I wonder if I made him stay in town whether he’d insist he come along anyway. Probably can’t change it. Sad :( Cleared out the demons though and found an amulet for an elf who heard whispers. Hope it helps her.

Lol now the beggars are asking for money. I’m too nice even in games. Gave them some gold.

The Tevinter Mage quest was quite hard. They were transporting Elves as slaves :/ he had a bullshit deal that I’d pay him 100 gold for him to leave. No way! Time to die! Whoa, that main mage was hard. I think I let him go in exchange for info on Loghain’s treachery.

Haha a reference to King Arthur. I pulled an axe out of a stone, a bunch of ladies said I’m the next Queen. Knew it! I’ll be Queen of the Wardens though :D with my King, Alistair.

It’s weird but everyone in Denerim calls me Ser. I’m a lady, fools!

Sten’s loyalty quest was pretty easy. Anyway he’s happy now. He’s calling me a special name, but I can’t remember what it was. He’s so cool! When I play again I’m going to try taking him more often.

The Ostaga dlc is so sad! Poor King Cailan. We gave him a proper burial. Thought we might find Duncan’s body too but we didn’t. Also found his armour, shield, and sword… plus Duncan’s sword. I feel like it’s creepy to put his Armour on Alistair so I stored it all in the chest. I did give Duncan’s sword to Alistair. So now he is wearing the grey warden armour with Duncan’s sword and shield. He is looking fiiiine! I took Alistair and Wynne, they had some interesting things to say.

Finished up a bunch of side quests in Denerim and now off to the landsmeet, cause there isn’t much else left to do except kiss Alistair hehe. Wow Loghain never shuts up! He’s just yelling the whole time. All the lords voted for the wardens except for one, so I guess I did pretty well. Had to fight him, then chose to have Alistair execute him. For Duncan! Felt kinda bad a little. I totally expected that it would come out that he’d been possessed by a demon, and that’s why he did the things he did. Guess he just went power mad or something. I made Anora queen, Alistair was relieved. Hopefully she isn’t like her Father. From what I gathered she was the one ruling anyway, and she had arguements with her dad over some stuff. Probably be better for her to rule without the intererence of Loghain. Really happy to keep Alistair as a grey warden.

Uh oh Redcliffe is overrun with darkspawn. Alistair thinks he’s King too lol. Some weird glitch which I found out about on google. Like they didn’t even record the dialogue for if he wasn’t King. I had him sleep with Morrigan so we wouldn’t die. The cutscene made me so mad! Ugh never watching that again. Poor Alistair.

Can’t really remember everything that I thought about the ending so will summarise it. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the rest of the game. Some of the fights were quite hard, I keep forgetting to use the armies haha. I think I enjoyed it more when I was in Fort Dracon. Also when I’d been playing the first part I was kinda half falling asleep. The Archdemon was so hard! I had a lot of trouble cause I couldn’t use the ballista. Leliana was dead so couldn’t use her. I was controlling Alistair cause I’d died lol. So then I couldn’t revive Leliana to unlock the ballista. So yeah I got sick of trying to beat it so I put the difficulty down. At that point I just wanted it over with.

I was super relived the king glitch didn’t continue into the end. When I asked Alistair what his plans were, he said he’d be staying with the Wardens with me, and he couldn’t think of anything better than being with me. YAY! Also he couldn’t wait to be alone :D If ya get my drift [wink wink nudge nudge].

Zevran is going to hang out with the wardens, Wynne is going with Shale to Tevinter, Leliana is going to help with the sacred ashes stuff, oghren is staying on the surface I think, Sten is going back to his homeland (reckons he might come back to fight us), couldn’t talk to doggo… guess he’s coming with Alistair and I, Morrigan dissapeared after the fight.

Things that never came up for me: the talk with Leliana about the nugs (I think maybe I was meant to do it before the Orzammar quest was complete. I dunno), Leliana never asked me about the romance with Alistair. Probably missed a ton more too.

Going to replay my mage game again cause I love it. Expect pics and gif sets. :D Edit: Am up to Lothering in the new game hehe. Have recorded heaps of scenes for gifs. ^^

So cute how Alistair planted a small memorial for Duncan awwww. I hc though that Norua went with him. :)
