So we are nearly done with Assassin's Creed 2. I love Caterina Sforza more than anything. That woman is awesome. We've cleared Segment 11 and unlocked everything that can be unlocked without finishing the game, so we're on the way to do that.
I also spent like 5 hours today playing Dragon Age.
So I have collected a bunch of party members. Today, I got to hear Wynne and Zevran arguing. OH MY GOD. The conversation about Wynne's bosom was brilliant. I'm angling to sleep with Alistair, but Leliana offered, and I felt so bad turning her down. But I did. And then got her to teach me to be a bard. (I'm going to have Zevran teach me Assassin, too.)
Alistair dropped the bombshell of his parentage, and I had to laugh. I initially suspected that Arlessa Isolde had poisoned Arl Eamon, but it turns out her primary "crime" is overprotecting her son. Now I'm on my way to recruit some mages to do a ritual in which I will send Wynne into the Fade and she will apparently kill a desire demon. Fun times.
I pretty much adore the entire party that I have, by now, and just pretty much want them all in a pile and making out. A lot.
I had been starting to get a little frustrated at how long the quest segments are until I realized I'd been thinking about them in the same terms that I would think of, say, the segments of plot in Neverwinter Nights, where each "primary segment" is divided into four "secondary segments" (the four districts of Neverwinter, etc.) Turns out that these four missions are more like primary segments themselves, which makes me a lot less frustrated. (It's not that I dislike the game, just the idea of taking 100+ hours to get through it was pretty daunting.)

In other news, I am possibly thinking of writing epic Kaim/Sarah porn. You can blame thank

Still working on drabble set. 3 done. Brain has gone squishy. Going to go watch pretty men with delightful Italian accents now.
