I found the fights around Lothering pretty tough on my first play through but was mostly fine from then on. Just make sure you go to Redcliffe or the Circle Tower next. I'd also second what Enkidum wrote about mages with area effect spells making the game considerably easier. Grab cone of cold if you can.

You find out by cutting off their tails and checking how many rings there are.

Oh god yes, If drunk Alistair shows up it will be my GOTY.

I haven't seen the film but Araki explained that he cast her because there are loads of flashbacks as well as present day scenes and it's easier to age an actor than it is to de-age them.

Weirdly enough the only one of those that doesn't scare me a little is the karaoke.

We fail?
But screw your courage to the sticking-place,
And we’ll not fail.

I spent about an hour deciding whether to fave this or not.

But would you have sex while it was playing?

But kink is not alcohol and in the case of BDSM related kinks it becomes much harder to draw that line.

It's safe. I promise.

I'm sure there'll be a bunch of people opining that Apple has gone downhill since Jobs died, if there aren't already.

You should've put more points into charisma.

Hasn't it been an occasional thing for a while now?
