    Good job! And after those DLC, you've got Dragon Age: II. Honestly, I'm not sure if you'd prefer Origins or II.

    So I got FFXIII-2, got all excited to play it, aaaaaand it didn't work. Even though I'd bought it like a month ago, the people at the GameStop know me pretty well (because I'm sad), so they were going to let me exchange it without a receipt or anything. But they didn't have another copy, so instead I got a game of equal value.

    And so now I have begun Dragon Age II! I literally just started before bed, made my character and that was it, and then it froze up on me (hurray), so I don't have any impressions yet.

    What's sad at about playing video games? Embrace your hobby, Pumpkin!

    I'm excited to hear you start Dragon Age II! Before the game froze up on you (as an aside, that's some horrible bad luck you've got there) what Hawke did you create?

    My first time was a female Hawke two-hand warrior called Freya. Before you think that strange, my first Dragon Age series playthrough had the theme that all of the (female) main characters had a FF related name. In Origins, it was Quistis, II Freya, and Inquisition had Vanille. Little story for you there.

    Though honestly, I preferred my current second playthrough with my archer rogue Tristan. With the two-handed warrior, you basically just mashed the attack button, closed distance and used the odd ability.

    Rogue female. Seeing what the starting look was and what the rest of the family looks like, I thought it would be funny to make my character look adopted. So she has like super light, long blonde hair and dark brown eyes and stuff. I kept the default name though.

    I really like DA2. There will be some reused maps a few times, don't be discouraged by that please. A lot were but the story is still good.

    The main issue with Dragon Age II is the repeated environments, but if you look aside that, it probably has the best script and dialogue in the series in my views. Playing your Hawke as sarcastic is the best experience.

    Enchantment!

    So the game likes to freeze up on me. Not bad enough that I need to reset, but I do keep my book beside me in case I need to burn a few minutes waiting for it to load. Maybe this is why the games were so cheap, but it's kind of frustrating.

    My character is suave as heck though so that's good

    Dragon Age Ii is a good game.

    I would very much like to hear your feelings on the companions as you meet and grow to know them, especially Anders.

    Best character in the trilogy is in this game though. (The Arishok)

    Do you plan to get any DLC? Mark of the Assassin is fun and interesting but optional.
    Legacy however is pivotal and some argue it's even more important than the main plot of the game.

    Oh and then there's The Exiled Prince. Sebastian is...I'll just come right out and say it. He's the worst companion in any DA game ever. But his DLC is worth it to see just why he's so terrible. Also there is a very pleasant thing that happens in his Act 3 quest that I think you'd enjoy, Pumpkin.

    I love Sebastian. Even though (SPOILER)screw him I'm not killing Anders for you bro. smurf the chantry but I still like him.

    Then again I like literally everyone in DA2

    Crummy quality pic of my Hawke:



    So I just met Anders, hard to say what I think of him right now.

    My sister is more stylish than me and I am jelly

    Avaline is pretty stick in the muddish but she still seems like a pretty stand up lady. Also she has giant boobs.

    I don't like Varric so far

    Anyways, Anders works better if you play the Awakening DLC for Origins first. You get a really good introduction for him and his story becomes more tragic.
