Well, standard hours is from 8 AM to 5 PM, and I'm working as a database Programmer. ^^
Kinda in over my head at the moment, trying to learn the system that my friend is in charge of. I got assigned to help him, so I have to know what I'm working with, but dear Maker/Creators/God... I do so wish that it doesn't have SO many rules in it.

Rules/logics of the system for the application, something like: if you're a female and not married, then you get medical reimbursement, else if you're female and married, then you don't get medical reimbursement, then the rules for if you have children, etc. If you want to transfer someone to other division/unit, you have to fill information bla bla bla...
(in short: think of the red tapes of the bureaucracy )

Awesome! ^^ What are you working as right now?

Ahahah, thank you, sometimes I just can't believe that I'm already over 30.
BTW, I'm currently playing DAO again xD All the arts about Dragon Age and the excitement about Dragon Age Inquisition got me feeling nostalgic. (I'm not sure if I'll ever play Dragon Age Inquisition, it looks like it's going to have quite long gameplay hour @_@ But, who knows? )
At the moment, I'm playing as the Noble Cousland rogue (and all my feels for the final scene of this Origins. ), gonna grab Leli (her confession convo is VERY cute ) as LI for this one. Afterwards, maybe I'll play as either City Elf or Dalish Elf and grab our smexxy and shameless Assassin for her LI.

I am an Saleswoman in a confectionery. Not a big thing, actually. 

I like the maps, the characters in DAI. I love the forest, the wastes usw. 
But I have to admit that I like the story in DAO so much more. And I felt more terrified in this game than in DAO.
And, I don't know why...I have the feeling that the romances in DAO took so much longer than in DAI.
But I don't know if my feeling is wrong. I hope some day my Warden comes back. And I want to see Zevran xD

And for the romances in DAO: I like actually all. Alistair is cute, it is like a teenager romance. Zevran is cool and smooth, but
he fall in love with you later. Leliana loves you really much and she have a good heart, but she just bedded you if she really LOVES you.
And she can get really JEALOUS. 

You can have sex with Morrigan even faster than Zevran (You can ask Zevran of course, but if you wait, he will ask you at 70% approval...Morrigan ask you at 50%)
But when she is in love, she is nervös and don't know what to do. It is nice to see it!

Not a big thing, but at least it still pay for the necessities, yes? :3

I only know how DAI look like from youtube vids, and though the world's graphics looks fabulous, I... can't honestly say I like the characters' graphics and animation (at least from what I watched so far).    Uhm... not sure how to put this, but when I watch the vids, I feel like I'm watching stiff animated wax figures, if that even make sense.
Maybe it's just me, but for me DAO and DA II looks better for the characters, especially the facial animation and expression. DAI faces looks a lot more stiff/stony for the most part. >.<

For example, I've seen several Sera's pics or arts, and she looked cool and mischievous ( and interesting personality as well, from what I read in the wiki ). However, watching her in the DAI vids in youtube (Sera romance scene)... sorry to say, it creeped the heck outta me. T__T

Hehehe, I did romance everyone (several playthroughs) in DAO before, if only because I got curious about how their romance goes, so I know what you mean. ^^ Actually, my very first playthrough I got my char to be with Alistair, sadly that's the only time. 2nd playthrough I wanted Loghain as Grey Warden, and I had to watch in horror as Alistair devolved to a whining child throwing a temper tantrum. (At least I hardened him before, so he became king instead of getting exiled or killed) Well, after that I pretty much kept my future Wardens away from romancing him. (talk about crash and burn... )

Romancing Morrigan was actually an interesting experience, especially since she really didn't make it easy. Kudos to her voice actor though, she managed to put Morrigan's conflicting emotions into the voice when they conversed, not really obvious, but it's there. :3 Aaandd... unfortunately made her departure prior the final battle a lot more heartbreaking. (I always get Loghain to take one for the team instead of accepting Morrigan's offer, except for that first playthrough)

They have good face animation, but you are right. In DAO you could kook at the characters
more and they had so many animation. If you just talk to the characters in DAI, you can't see the
faces like in DAO. Besides, I have the feeling you can ask them so much more in DAO and it will unlock new things
than in DAI. Of course, you unlock new dialogues in DAI, too (or animation) but if you asked all things than you don't get 
new dialogues. It is a shame. That is something that I really don't like. And I dind't cared for the romanced that much like in DAO.
Like I said, it is maybe because the romance is too short for me. But that is just a feeling.
I hated Sera first. She annoyed me. She was like a child, but then I accept her and even liked her. She isn't that good on comfort and
she have a problem to accept the opnion from other people. But she have a good heart.That is something I like


And I didn't liked the story. I expected a war and I wanted to feel terrified like in DAO, but it wasn't like a war. And I wanted to know so
badly what happens to Hawke and the Warden, because in DA2 they made a big thing of it. But what do we get?
Varric lied to Cassandra. He knew where Hawke is and Leliana found the Warden with her rogues...Excuse me, but even my ideas
were bigger than that...>_>



I completly agree with you about Morrigan. But sometimes she annoyed me because she always thinks that she is the most wisest "witch". 
She do it even in DAI ^^' But I still like her. Alistair is really cute. Like I said...it is like a teenage romance. And you really feel loved.
But Zevran will be my favorite romance. I like it how he slowly fall in love with the Warden and don't want 
to admit it first. I REALLY love it. And I like his teasing flirts he do. ^___^

Heh, and on that note, I just watched a vid I stumbled on about when the Inquisitor proposed to Sera. It's quite interesting, and hillarious, and juuuuust a bit touching. x3 I did say that I like her personality, yes?

One of the thing that made me tempted to play DAI, but also dreading it is the choices and the effect in it. I mean, in DAO and DA2, we can still get some compromise, or minimize the loss caused by the choices we made. From what I heard, read and watch in youtube, DAI is a lot more unforgiving (extreme drawback from major choices). On one hand, it challenged the player to make 'big' decision and live with it. On the other hand, I hate making those kind of decision. I think I needed almost 5 minutes (or maybe more) trying to decide who to support when Anders blew the Chantry at the end of DA2 in my first playthrough. -_-;; I did do several playthrough, so I can experienced what happened when I supported Templar / Mage. Still, you get the point yes? And from what I can tell, DAI is FULL with those kind of choices.

As for Morrigan, Weeellll, she won't be Morrigan without her 'I'm SO much better and awesome and smarter than you and you're not worth to kiss the ground I walk on' attitude. (Okay, that's a bit over the top, I think, still valid though, yes? )
Leli and Zev will always be OTP for my Wardens, depending on which race I'm using, not to be racist, but somehow I mostly paired them this way: HumanNoblexLeli, CityElfxZev. The rest of the races, I usually toss a coin.

I like her now, too. Maybe too childish, but she will learn. She is very young ^_°

I like the choices. I have no problem with that and I think you mean the big choices about this: 
Let Hawke die or Alistair/Stroud or Loghain. For me, it wasn't that big.
I didn't liked DA2 and Alistair is King, Loghain is dead so...no big deal for me actually.
And about the Templar and Mages...I thought we will see a war about them but nothing...that was 
really annoying...>_>

Of course, but if she likes you, you will have no problem with her. She will see you as a sister/brother. 
And it is so cute how she admit that she really likes you as friend or lover. 

Oh, I do know that is not racist ^_° I chossed Amell because I love the realtionship between human and elf
(especially because the human is always the "bad ones" for elves) and I love to be a mage ^_°

ishtar10 In reply to Maleficentra [2015-06-05 16:25:54 +0000 UTC]

Well, honestly the choice between Stroud (since I always made Alistair King and get Loghain to take one for the team, I assume that it'll be Stroud instead of Alistair, not sure) or Hawke isn't that hard either. I don't think I'd want to kill off the character that I've been slaving to mold and care for so many hours, not if there's another more acceptable option. So I think it might be always 'Bye-bye, Stroud' for me.

The choices that's kinda hard to swallow for me, from what I checked in youtube (seriously, thank you, youtube!), is the choices like between Iron Bull's men or the Qunari's battleship. That one is really big deal if I have to make the choice.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but... >_> I think, maybe, this game is teaching/trying to teach the player something about the 'beautiful' 'lovely' 'engaging' world of politic? (Which is a huge turn off for me if the answer is a yes. I HATE politic and all the masks and the backstabbing and the posh snobby postures, GAH!!)
Or maybe I got that impression because I just saw the vid about the Josephine romance, which is rather full of said politic, maybe... -_-"

Somehow I'm a little surprised, though I really shouldn't be, that Morrigan's appearance stayed the same. I thought for sure that she would have at least some adjustment for her clothes or something. She DID trying to stay low on the radar, yes? I saw an art in DA where the artist drew Morrigan in a dress, with frills. I would have LOVE to see that in game.

Mage was fun, if a 'little' over powered, I do prefer to be rogues whenever possible. Surprisingly, in DA2 I actually enjoy all 3 classes, they're all monsters, especially since the Warrior class got some sort of super speed almost on par with the Rogue making it a real overkill at times. Still, I prefer Bethany's company more than Carver's whine of insecurity and jealousy sooo... yeah, only played as mage a couple of times, the rest was spent as either Warrior or Rogue.

I wanted to write a comment, but I forgot. Sorry bout that.

Ah, and that reminds me that I haven't fave'd the next part. Be resolving that soon!

Seriously though, you write well. I like your idea for how the ME3 ending should have been done, and I love the idea when Shepard heard Liara, she practically clawed her way out of unconsciousness to see her. And that "Hug" request was a big 'D'AAAAWWWW' moment.
The next part is also very interesting, I like how you describe Liara's thoughts as she kept vigil over Shepard as she waited for her bondmate to recover. The 'little blue children' part is another big 'D'AAAAAWWWW' moment. (at least for me)

So, thank you for sharing the wonderful stories. Here's hoping to see even moar from you in the future!

I'm actually working on a new comic (here is the cover: iwarinjones.deviantart.com/art…
It is after Zevran offered the earring and she didn't take it, because she want to be as an affection.
And now he reacts confused (Just like in the game)...
Well, I have already the sketches  this comic...I just must to colored it ^_°

DA II was pretty interesting, but it doesn't seem to offer as many romance dialogue / scenes as with DA: O. Besides, the elves in DA: O are sexier than DA II. IMO anyway. heheheh
