    Can't Sleep, <Spoilers> will destroy Thedas!

    ... yes, Dragon Age Inquisition is out, and I have it, and the (spoilers here) are overrunning Thedas and I have to stop them!


    Side note: why don't we have a 'chugging lots of caffiene' smiley?

    4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

    We definitely need a few more smileys. Golf clap, for one...and I would be quite impressed if someone can some up with a good one for "Dis gun' be good" (would almost certainly have to be animated) that is the same size as what we use now, but is still legible

    I can see a caff one now: A smileyperson chugs a huge can/bottle of Coke/mug of coffee, and then they begin to vibrate ever faster until they phase out of existence. Twitchy, the squirrel from "Hoodwinked" would also work, but that's really hard to do properly at smiley-size...

      I am still playing through DA:O (and still need to get the DLCs for the game) and then I'm going to go onto DAII and it's DLCs before going onto DA:I. The world is pretty damn amazing and I'm enjoying it a great deal, even though I can see and hear where they got a fair bit of of their inspiration for the world and languages.

      Yes, I know I'm a bit behind but until I got DA:O free through Origin I wouldn't have thought it would have been the sort of game I'd enjoy. Now that I have it I have been playing it almost daily, and it is one of the few games that has not pissed me off enough to drop it after a couple of weeks.

        Some of the minor characters in Origins become fuller characters in Awakenings (an Origins DLC), and/or II. Some of the characters in II - including some of the ones from Origins/Awakenings - become fuller characters in Inquisition.

        The world is a continuing one; the actions - including yours - from earlier games affecting later games.

        In other words, even if you decide to delete most of your old saves, keep the last few saves from any and every run-through. Those keep the state of Thedas (the world) and the later games can load them for you.

        Basically, if you have a female Dalish Elf in the first game, the person who was the hero in Origins is referred to in later games as a female Dalish Elf.
        Also, if you make <decision1> in the Brecilian forest, it has consequences in DAII. So does <decision2> - just different consequences. Ditto for each of the other major (and some minor) decisions.

          My plan is to try to play through as much of Origins as I can this weekend in a couple of all-night marathons. I've got Awakenings now (bought it last night on Origin) and will get the DLCs as well. And next weekend I hope to be at a point where I can get Inquisition. It's such an enjoyable game, and I love that your decisions can affect so much. I am primarily a PC gamer but usually don't do as well with real-time fighting as I am doing so far with DA. Maybe it's because I am enjoying the world so much that the fighting is only an incidental.
