Dragon Age stuff
I started playing Dragon Age: Awakening tonight on the normal level (I usually play games on the easiest level possible, so this is a step up in difficulty for me). I actually couldn't tell the difference between normal and casual level at first and I wound up defeating the big boss of the game (The Mother) on the normal level. I'm rather proud of myself for that. I'm pretty terrible at video games, hence always playing on the easiest level possible.
I wound up siding with The Architect, even though he's kind of a villain. I guess. Yeah, he's a villain, but he's a villain with good intentions. It's complex. He's a self-aware darkspawn and for a long time, he was the only darkspawn who had his own mind and didn't hear the call of the Old Gods, and it made him lonely and isolated. He eventually realized that darkspawn and humans fighting was a bad thing and wanted it stopped, so he started experimenting with taking the blood of Grey Wardens and feeding it to his fellow darkspawn, and discovered that it made them self-aware as well.
So basically, his goals are good, but his methods are suspect at best. Anyway, for some reason, I just really love this character.
"I do not seek to rule my brethren. I only seek to release them from their chains." I mean, how can you not love a guy who says something like that.
