#probably going to revisit the older games first bc i missed *that* dragon age

[adaaring]

finally rolled credits on datv. i have some thoughts and feelings but i'm not exactly sure how to articulate them.

it's almost amazing the way this game managed to induce so many emotions on opposite ends of the spectrum in so many areas (gameplay, writing/dialogue, aesthetics/visual direction, etc). i can't remember the last time a game was able to both piss me off (in a way the game didn't intend) while also keeping me emotionally invested enough to cry at the end.

and after the initial emotions wore off though, i found myself just kind of perplexed? and lamented what this game could have been without so many of the Issues™ because i think it still managed to do so much despite them.
