I finished DAII today, and first off, I was fucking disappointed with the ending. I mean seriously. No resolution at all. Ugh. That being said, there's a much higher chance of my replaying DAII than Origins. The fact that my character, Briar, you know, had facial expressions and...talked made me much more attached to him than I had been to Andovan, my Origins character.
And while I loved the "plethora" of gay love interest options, I didn't really like either of them. Fenris was too broody and mage-hating, not to mention illiterate, and Anders was always whining about the same. Goddamn. Thing. I had planned on going for Fenris, but the whole "illiterate" thing was what finally tipped the scale onto Anders' side. And then that whore went and blew up the chantry. Jerk.
If I may recommend a link, and you've seen Jason Steele's "Llamas with Hats" series,
this picture on deviantArt basically sums it up for me. I still chose to run away with him, though. Because I'm a sap at heart. And he does like kittens.
Oh! I made a doodle of my character for a DAII meme I'm filling out for devArt. Might as well share the love!
My art skills don't really reflect it, but Briar was quite attractive. :D I spent the majority of the game fangirling over his face with my roommate.
In other news, my grandfather was rushed to the hospital yesterday and was discovered to be riddled with cancer. It's all up in his spinal tissue and everything. It looks bad. I'm worried...
