[leidensygdom]

And at long last, after besting 14 other participants, the last two that remain are taking a fight!

In one side we have Arcien Yu'Yden- Maybe a BBEG in disguise, a kind of undead crystal entity under a tiefling's guise, with plenty of drama regarding their twin children. NPC in my campaign!

In the other hand, Yxala Erant- Believed dead for ten years, she came back, angrier than ever, ready to save both of her partners that had now turned evil- With plenty of violence! Current PC!

Now, it's your choice if the mysterious and fancy enby or the buff fiery butch should take the win here. I'll leave this poll open for a week.

Leomund's Tiny Hut in Barovia

Leomund’s Tiny Hut in Barovia

Leomund’s Tiny hut in Barovia In my head-canon, Leomund is a brilliant apprentice to Mordenkainen, saw his magnificent mansion spell and said, “What if we scaled it down and gave young, up-and-coming adventurers the safety they need?” and Leomund’s Tiny Hut was born. The description of the spell: A 10-foot-radius immobile dome of force springs into existence around and above you and remains…

[yandere-flower]

I read DDR as Dungeons Dan Ragons, I have an only brain cell

GOD SOMEONE GIVE ME D&D ASKS PLEASE

but also I’m really worried I’m old and ddr doesn’t stand for dance dance revolution??? Is that game still a thing??? Did I misunderstand something TERRIBLY?

[lynyrdwrites]

My first impression about you, well... I think that I was kinda anxious to write to you, because you are a mighty amazing author, the angst queen that ruined my heart with KC angst and with Enzoline? And I also love how you see Caroline. Now I think that you can pretty much kill with a fluff too (a mighty amazing author, i am always impressed), excellent idead and they realization oh and dungeon ragon porn for Angie! and i think you are very cool and smart

You are an absolute sweetheart of a human being.

And the angst will be making a return with the FMA AU.  There will be no death, and I’ve promised a happy ending... but there will be angst along the way.  Hoo, will there be angst along the way. 

What was your first impression of me vs. your impression of me now?

[amusewithaview]

I don't even know what dragon age is but now I'm curious...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

OKAY, SO, PREPARE FOR “MORE THAN YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT AMUSE’S FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD.”

The Dragon Age franchise is a series of video games set in a dark fantasy world called “Thedas.”  Thedas is shorthand for “THE Dragon Age Setting,” because sometimes creators get tired while naming things.  You play a different character in each of the three games currently available (there’s talk of a fourth but I’m not getting my hopes up).  The trilogy spans over roughly fifteen years of in-game time and trust me, they are interesting times.

Dragon Age: Origins

The original idea behind this game was “lets try and make a classic tabletop RPG (a la Dungeons & Dragons) but, you know, in cinematic video game form.” It was way more popular than anyone expected and basically set the tone (and the bar) for all Bioware games to follow.

In Origins you play The Warden, an unvoiced protagonist of the race, gender, and class combo of your choosing.  You are conscripted by a once-prominent military order called the Grey Wardens and sent off to fight Darkspawn (think like a combo between fantasy orc and revenant) and end the Blight (think plague of locusts, only Darkspawn instead of locusts).  Then politics get involved and what starts as a bad situation snowballs till it could quite literally be the end of the world… unless you fix it!

Your companions on this quest include:

Alistair - (human, male, warrior) very sweet, occasionally sarcastic fellow member of the Grey Wardens.  He has seniority over you in the order and is, by all accounts, a more experienced fighter than you, but he still chooses to follow you instead of lead.  If you play a female character, you can romance him.

Morrigan - (human, female, mage) very sarcastic, rarely sweet swamp witch who spent more of her childhood as an animal than a human (it shows).  The most introverted person ever to be dragged on an epic quest.  If you play a male character, you can romance her.

Dog - (Mabari war hound) depending on your choices in the game, you can have a dog.  Your dog is roughly the equivalent of a pit bull crossed with a tiger.  The dogs in the Dragon Age franchise are much beloved, and for good reason.

Leliana - (human, female, rogue) very sweet, occasionally self-righteous member of the local religious order (aka “The Chantry”).  She left behind a dark and somewhat twisted backstory to devote herself to good deeds and serving her fellow man.  Regardless of your chosen gender, you can romance her.

Sten - (kossith, male, warrior) very blunt, occasionally sweet front line troop for the Thedosian equivalent of the bastard child of Communism with a particularly restrictive caste system.  If possible, take him and Morrigan with you at the same time for some particularly hilarious banter.

Wynne - (human, female, mage) very pragmatic, occasionally nosy member of the local mage’s guild - where membership is nowhere near optional and you can be put to death and/or lobotomized if someone in charge thinks they’re justified… I can’t be unbiased in my description of the conflict, so suffice to say that Wynne is a cool old lady, think Minerva McGonagall with sprinkles of Molly Weasley.

Zevran - (elvhen, male, rogue) very flirty, occasionally blunt assassin sent to kill you.  He will join you if given half a chance.  He’s basically Puss in Boots from Shrek 2, with a deeper backstory and it’s exactly as amazing as it sounds.  Regardless of your chosen gender, you can romance him.

Oghren - (dwarf, male, warrior) very drunk, occasionally coherent sad bastard.  One of your main quests involves his wife and, well, he’s got reason to be sad.

Shale - (golem, genderless [debatable], warrior) very snarky, occasionally vulnerable giant rock monster available via DLC.  Shale is easily one of the funniest companions, what with all of their comments on ‘the squishies.’

Spoiler Companion - well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it?

Dragon Age 2

This game was conceived and hastily put together in the wake of DA:O’s huge success and the speed shows.  There are set pieces and fights that get reused, but ultimately I don’t think that matters.  Yes, this story is set between two epic adventures, and it tells a smaller, arguably more intimate, story.  Also, take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt because the framing device for the game is that it’s a story being told by one of your DA2 companions to a cross between a holy templar and a Homeland Security Director.

In DA2 you play as Hawke, a fully voiced protagonist of the gender and class of your choosing.  There’s a slight overlap in timelines here as you play a member of a family fleeing the Blight (the disaster of the first game) and escaping to a neighboring city-state as a refugee.  The game follows Hawke across the span of a decade, during which they rise to prominence within the city of Kirkwall.  You have three main personalities you can choose from that, after a certain point, ‘lock in’ what kind of spontaneous side comments you can make.  Your options are: aggressive, sarcastic, and diplomatic.  Three guesses which one I always choose and the first two don’t count.

Your companions in these adventures are:

Aveline - (human, female, warrior) very honorable, somewhat sarcastic local police equivalent.  She sees that you are doing good, even if it’s outside the system, and fights with you.  She’s steadfast, loyal, and abominably bad at flirting.

Varric - (dwarf, male, rogue) very snarky, very loyal local businessman who has a finger in literally every pie.  He is the inspiration behind half of tumblr’s THAT FEEL WHEN YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH AN UNROMANCEABLE SIDE CHARACTER.  He’s Thedas’s most famous novelist and writes the equivalent of fanfiction about his friends because the shit they get into is weird.

Anders - (human, male, mage) very bleeding heart, slightly possessed local mage freedom fighter and ex-member of the Grey Wardens (though you’re never really an ex-member).  One of the more divisive figures in the DA fandom. Regardless of your chosen gender, you can romance him. 

Isabella - (human, female, rogue) very flirty, somewhat aggressive pirate captain in need of a new boat.  Would steal your bra out from under your shirt for kicks. Is not wearing pants and may not be wearing panties.  Regardless of your chosen gender, you can romance her.

Fenris - (elvhen, male, warrior) very blunt, occasionally sarcastic escaped slave with a truly mountainous serving of PTSD regarding mages.  One of the more divisive figures in the DA fandom. Regardless of your chosen gender, you can romance him. 

Merrill - (elvhen, female, mage) very sweet, very sheltered ex-second in command of the local tribe of non-city (aka “Dalish”) elves.  She is the living embodiment of “looks like a cinnamon roll, is actually a cinnamon roll, but could still totally kill you.”  Regardless of your chosen gender, you can romance her. 

Sebastian - (human, male, rogue) very honorable, very… okay, I’ll be honest, I never bought the DLC he’s in.  He’s got a vaguely Scottish brogue and is a local prince-equivalent who needs help getting back on his throne.  One of the more divisive figures in the DA fandom. If you play a female, you can romance him. 

Then depending on if you’re a mage or a rogue/warrior, you will get a little sibling!  If you choose to be a mage, your mage sibling dies.  If you choose to be a non-mage, your non-mage sibling dies.  Tragic backstories for everyone!

Bethany Hawke - (human, female, mage) very sweet, occasionally sarcastic little sister of the PC.  I’ll be honest, I always play as a mage in DA2, so I’m not terribly familiar with her.  She’s both kind and honorable.

OR

Carver Hawke - (human, male, warrior) very snarky, very blunt little brother of the PC.  He’s the rudest asshole.  I adore him.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

This was a major project for the Bioware team.  They put a shitload of time and energy and effort into making it awesome.  It shows.  But still, fans felt that the end of the game didn’t give enough closure.  The team listened, and thus the DLC was born - the DLC for this game is amazeballs.

In Inquisition you play The Inquisitor, a voiced protagonist of the race, gender, and class combo of your choosing.  You are the only survivor of a cataclysmic event that tore the barrier between reality and The Fade (the dream world which is also arguably the wellspring for magic).  On top of that, the event originated right where some Really Terribly Important peace talks were happening and now all the leaders of a bunch of factions are dead and you need to step up and lead the charge to Fix the Sky and Also a Bunch of Other Things.

Your companions in this epic quest are:

Cassandra - (human, female, warrior) very pragmatic, somewhat dogmatic member of an elite warrior order and also the literal right hand of the recently deceased equivalent of the pope.  If you play as a male, you can romance her.

Varric - same dude from DA2.  He’s still not romanceable.

Solas - (elvhen, male, mage) very serious, very determined ‘apostate’ (ie: not tied to the local mage’s guild) who wants to fix what the cataclysm broke.  Think ‘sexy professor.’  One of the more divisive figures in the DA fandom.  If you play as a female elf, you can romance him.

Sera - (elvhen, female, rogue) very blunt, very stubborn result of what would happen if you crossed Robin Hood with the Weasley twins.  One of the more divisive figures in the DA fandom. If you play a female, you can romance her. 

Vivienne - (human, female, mage) very sophisticated, somewhat sarcastic former advisor to the equivalent of the queen of France/Rome.  The epitome of the steel hand in the velvet glove.  Her aesthetic is #goals.  One of the more divisive figures in the DA fandom.

The Iron Bull - (kossith, male, warrior) very observant, very bombastic spy sent by the Qun (the aforementioned Communism/caste system culture) to figure out what the hell is going on and can it be fixed.  Regardless of gender or species, you can romance him.

Blackwall - (human, male, warrior) very beardy, pragmatic member of the Grey Wardens who usually does recruitment but whoa that catastrophe looks like it needs fixin’.  Somewhat divisive in the fandom.  If you play as a female, you can romance him.

Dorian - (human, male, mage) very snarky, very classy nobleman from the rough equivalent of the Roman empire.  He wants to reform his country into something better but doesn’t quite know how yet, in the meantime he wants to do good.  Somewhat divisive in the fandom.  If you play as a male, you can romance him.

Cole - (spirit, male, rogue) very helpful, very naive spirit of Compassion that wandered out of the Fade and OMG so many people need help.  He wants to experience humanity and also save it.

Your advisors as you try and clean up the political sphere are:

Leliana - same chick from Origins.  She’s not romanceable this time around.

Cullen - (human, male, warrior) very sweet, very hard working general of the Inquisition.  He’s actually popped up in all three games and his character arc is fascinating.  As you can imagine, he’s a very divisive character in the fandom.  If you play a female human or elf, you can romance him.

Josephine - (human, female, rogue[?]) very sweet, very smart diplomat of the Inquisition.  If you met her at a bar, she’d be wearing a fantastically coordinated ensemble and then she’d hustle you at pool, but you would leave utterly charmed.  Regardless of gender or species, you can romance her.

Aaaaaaand… that’s a brief (no, really, I promise) overview of Dragon Age.  It doesn’t come anywhere close to encompassing all of the things I love about the franchise.  The Lore of the world is richly detailed and omnipresent.  The characters are fantastically voiced and so real you feel like you know them.  The first and third games are some of the best RP experiences you can have without actually going and playing D&D.  The second game is less immersive, but I also think it’s the funniest (especially if you play a sarcastic Hawke).

If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to elaborate on the romance system (and my personal romance ratings), the Lore, or any aspect of the games.  I seriously cannot understate my love of the franchise.
