more bioware stuff
So The Boy is about 30 hours into DA:O. He's currently torn between the rivaling attentions of Zevren and Alistair, and wishes he could just have both.
I had a day off today and spent it devouring Knights of the Old Republic, while lying on the couch in my bathing suit in front of a fan. I'd forgotten how much I love that damn game. ...And I'm totally digging Carth this time around. Much snarkier than I remember.
I also finished off the last of the DA:O DLC. I've officially pwned all of Dragon Age's offerings: all of DA:O, DA:O-A, DA2, and now the DLC. I really liked all of the DLC missions, especially Morrigan's, but I have to say that the Darkspawn Chronicles was the most deviously entertaining.
Alistair did well for himself, despite his doubt in his abilities. It was interesting to see his choices - werewolves? Golems? Alistair! But he did it on his own: he united the races and when the archdemon came to Denerim, he was there to meet it. He was so close to victory, so close to being the hero. The Hero. That last cutscene, when Alistair in on his stomach on the ground, covered in blood. His allies had been slaughtered, he was the last to fall. He scrabbled for his sword, but we both knew it was in vain. And then, without needing an urging from my master, I crushed him.
It's been a Bioware smorgasbord in our apartment.
Needless to say, Pete is stoked about ME3, bummed about the release date. I'm tentatively interested, though fantasy beats space as far as I'm concerned.
