DA:2 was never intended to be a direct follow up to the Origins story, thats what Awakening is. Also, you were NEVER able to change your last name, why is Hawke so much worse than Aeducan or Cousland?

Let me guess, that's the name of your band? :turned: Nah, its Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers. We're super hardcore. :cool:

Fanboy tears always taste the best.

She yells at me for helping the poor. She yells at me for yelling at that merchant in Lothering. She yells at me for wanting to save the children in the Circle Tower. She yells at me for x. She yells at me for y. She wants to spawn a demon baby and then run away with it. She picks on Alistair. All she wants from you at first is sex. Wanting nothing but sex is soooo attractive... Even when she does start being "nice" to you in the romance she still comes off as a female dog. She may very well be the daughter of a shape shifting dragon lady who seduces men to raise daughters that she can then assume direct control of. Sorry but I already deal with horrible in-laws IRL. Need I list any more reasons why female dog-witch is one of the worst companions ever?

??? 1 vote for DA 8 votes for RDR :whistling: OP asked for advice. Random votes =/= advice.

Get Dragon Age, I have RDR and its pretty much a western mod for GTA:IV. The only redeeming qualities I found in RDR were the soundtrack, being able to lasso people, and the multilayer. In my opinion a very bland game, I can go on and on about its flaws. Honestly Red Dead Revolver was twice as fun. And as for saying Dragon Age is shorter, if you do the side quests for both games and sit through the dialogue for both I'm almost positive that DAO is longer, if only by a little.

Psh women...always complaining. "oh no! I got raped" "oh no I'm dead!" "my cousin took a bribe and allowed me to raped again" All jokes aside, I didn't like Shianni at all. I've only made 1 elf in my game and that was just to see the city elf origin, and seeing her crying on the floor felt pretty good after she was mean to my human noble. I'm not a bad person right?

Ohgren's party banter is some of the funniest stuff I've heard in a video game: * Oghren: I swear. The things I could do to you. * Morrigan: Ugh. It is leering at me once again... * Oghren: Oh. Did I say that out loud? * Oghren: Aye, sure. Why not? * Wynne: Pardon? * Oghren: Oh, I'd give you a roll. Why not? * Wynne: A "roll?" * Oghren: Aye. Any time. Preferably in the dark. * Wynne: I suppose I should be flattered. * Oghren: I'm not sure I have the equipment for that, but sure, whatever gets you working. * Oghren: So... you come here often? * Sigrun: No, I've never been this close to the surface. * Oghren: Well, you're welcome to come with me anytime. A-ny-time. * Sigrun: I'm sorry, what? * Oghren: The name's Oghren, by the way... but the ladies pronounce it "Ohhh-ghren." # Oghren: So... what are you doing tonight? # Sigrun: Sleeping. Alone. With a knife under my pillow. # Oghren: (Snickers) Hot. There's too many to list

Honestly its quite hard to tell the alleged "Golden/Black City" from the other 3 HUGE floating rocks in the fade. Nothing resembles buildings to any extent, the only thing that strikes me as odd is the huge sloping point that one of them comes too. To me it looks like the front of one the old WW2 battleships, not like god's magical floating house. If anything the Chantry is similar to (in my opinion) most world religions: 97% mythology and folklore that society can't let go of, and 3% that may have actually happened. There's no doubting that Andraste existed, and that she did many great things, beyond that however... Next time you do the Urn of Sacred Ashes, take Ohgren along. His explanation of the healing properties of the ashes and the spirits inside the temple is quite good actually. The high lyrium content in the walls is causing physics inside the temple to go haywire, showing another contrast between our world and Thedas. The battle between science and religion.
