Yes ! The templars at least do help you protect the city . The dragon age series in general does seem to be trying to convince players that mages really shouldn't be left to their own devices . This kills me because in real life I'm a big ol' liberal and will always gravitate towards helping the oppressed . Playing…

Exactly , it wasn't hard to tell there's no good outcome for Kirkwall's mages . So for my first play through I held my nose and went with Meredith , on subsequent play throughs I go ahead and throw in with the doomed mages though .

Before I played Dragon Age 2 I was warned away from Anders . Not that it was necessary as there is no way I would pass on Fenris with his angst and gothy armor , but I digress . Had you not romanced Anders would you still have sided with the mages (assuming you did) ? I have the sneaking suspicion I'm the only one…

Apparently , that you and I are the same person . And that we probably need to get out more .

Elliott Smith , particularly XO and either/or . Winter is for melancholy , layers of clothing , and remembering the things you regret . Now who wants to help scarf down all these sadness cookies I've made ?

I haven't been here for very long but I can see that the commentors here love and appreciate you and it's obvious why ; you're like an awesome family member who listens to everyone's problems and tries to help . Often with jokes and wild anecdotes . I don't know what type of occupation you're looking for but I bet you…

(Reaches out hand to pat Dikachu's head , hesitates , worried that he'll nuzzle . Goes for it anyways .)

You could check out R Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing trilogy . The world building is really dense and detailed , and the prose won't make you feel like you're reading a young adult novel , but the characters aren't the easiest to warm up to if that's important to you . When I started it I was under the impression…

Good on you for that , but how is it a related note ? Or does seeing that Krieger avatar just put corpses and science in your head ?

Hey now , since when is that depressing ? I'll be spending the next 6 hours frantically cooking and making distracted small talk . Watching anime in my underwear sounds like a dream .

Crazy sexy , then ? Got it . I'll shoo any younger relatives out of the room . Should have known , anything involving mascots is bound to get weird .

I have never watched a parade on TV . Is it more or less depressing than fireworks displays hosted by your local news station ?

I would say it is overall more fun than origins . You get access to a lot of new skills and since it assumes you've finished origins there isn't a lot of hand holding at the beginning . The plot is intriguing with some new and really quite disturbing dark spawn . The characters it introduces are well written and do…

Honeycrisp ? Those things get huge , and they're often incredibly juicy so you may be exhausted and sticky by the time you're done . There's a Futurama joke in there somewhere ……

I have a small group of friends in general and it's about 50% gay guys and so that does help . You are completely correct on your first point . They've often spent the majority of their lives dealing with family members and strangers wondering about their sexuality . Thankfully , there's a large overlap between well…

You are clearly the pre eminent scholar on this subject ; any tips for a finely calibrated gaydar ? I'm a straight woman but my type is sort of feminine men . Obviously there's going to be lots of times where I'm secretly eyeing a guy who's not buying what I'm selling (so to speak) . They are also fairly rare in my…

In all honesty , I'm thankful to read these comments and interact with all the lovely , intelligent weirdos here . Nothing is worse than pretending to not be depressed for the sake of your loved ones when you'd much rather curl up in a ball on the floor than roast a bird who was been bred to have such a body shape…

Eh , don't worry about it too much . Thanksgiving has to be the least sexy holiday . Family togetherness , rampant overeating , and the encroachment of black Friday are total mood killers .

Depriving yourself of coffee seems more like masochism . Which actually jibes pretty well with the Mormons I know .

I always want to suggest this movie to people but I never know if I should warn them about the crap fest it turns into or just let them be naturally disenchanted . Mostly I don't want them thinking I have bad taste so I go ahead and warn them .
