Dragon Age 2 aka the Game That Has Nommed My Social Life
Let's talk Dragon Age 2. So. LGBT issues fixed for the most part y/mfy? Like - not a single person says that, to the gay male love interest "I prefer women but there's something about you". YES!
Also - how awesome that, basically, everyone is bi? THANK YOU!
I love that there isn't any issues with shaming on the LGBT front.
Women issues fixed: y/kinda
The NPCs are awesome, lemme just say that. The women are just as strong as the men in this game. I have a tough time figuring out a party and, for the most part, I only pick based on what conversations I haven't heard yet. Like, Fenris and Anders bickering, I've heard all of it and, as much as I love it, I'm still playing to explore the world so I pick Fenris/Merrill. I also like Isabela/EVERYONE (except Aveline).
My squidgy part is the slut shaming directed towards Isabela by Aveline. It eventually becomes friendly and teasing rather than complete slut shaming but, at first, I'm just so ANNOYED OMG RAEG!
How awesome is it that the elf is the tank in this one?
How fucking awesome is the dog?!
Anders. ANDERS I love him and I hate him and I want to kill him but I also want to keep him with me forever. How the fuck can he possibly justify blowing up the Chantry?! HOW?!?!?!!? THERE IS NO WAY! Fucking asshole but I just fell so in love with him throughout the game that I couldn't kill him. I just can't. So I chose the romantics way and stayed my hand and told him I'd run off with him. I'm thinking up fic that addresses that. There's a prompt at the kink meme that I think it'll fit, too.
I love all the party banter.
The world is much more fleshed out, IMHO. There are more opportunities for random conversations with random people.
Your mum :( Poor Hawke loses like his entire family. WTF POOR GUY OMG
The ending. Can we flail about the ending, plzkthx? Like Leilana? OH MAH GOD So how the heck did she hook up with Cassandra and what is she doing with Nevarrans and what's going on with that whole Orlais/Ferelden thing? And the Warden is missing too?
Zevran. Dude. You were supposedly in love with my Warden! HOW DARE YOU PROPOSITION HAWKE OMG YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE (even if I still love you)!
I missed Oghren. It would've been cool to have him be the Warden that takes your brother away in the deep roads. Imma just sayin... it would've been REALLY cool.
LOL Anders's Manifesto.
What about you all? Who is playing it and what are your favorite parts? Let us flail together. Consider this a spoiler zone.
