I hope the Tevinter Magister Maevaris is a companion. The first two games had transphobic jokes regarding trans women and while I love Krem, they need to make up for it with a good trans woman character.

oh MAKER the Calling.

We are kindred. If the hype train goes down in flames I will be at the helm. CHOO CHOO motherfu*kers.

Glad you asked! You have 2 ways to go about this. One is to just play the games. There’s some background information that’s handy to know about theprevious games but it’s not critical to playing and enjoying DAI.

OR

You could go to dragonagekeep.com. It’s a website BioWare built for folks who want to import decisions…

I’m the weird person who loves DA:I passionately and have played it like 4 times through. I know I’m setting myself up for Andromeda level disappointment but I can’t help it. I’m hyped.

*puts this in her blog topic rolodex to bust out as we get closer to DA4*

*plugs fingers in ears* nope Ican’t hear you lalalalLALALALALA

Would gladly read a “Dragon Age: The Story So Far” article from you!

*checks watch* how much time you got because I will gladly give you the rundown.

Then why play the game?

EA really desperate to nickel and dime everything from the licence before Disney cut them off finally.

I can’t wait to put Kylo Ren in a pool and take away the ladder!

It’s more about the trend than any specific example, that too often writers (namely ones writing about groups they aren’t a member of) can’t help but indulge a little too intensely in the misery and pain and death of their oppressed characters. “Misery porn.” You can say “yeah everybody gets fricked up in this game…

Ain’t nothin’ but a heartache.

I’m so excited for this. Some of the UA playtest material has been really awesome over the last year or so. Lot’s of goodies for players/DMs alike. Really hoping the Armorer subclass for the artificer goes in. It’s basically “magical Iron Man” and has been really rad in playtest. 

Hopefully the the class options for Ranger are more or less the same as they were in the Unearthed Arcana.  They were just better in all respects.

oooh, this sounds good. I’m really looking forward to it!

Major spoilers for The Lodge, which is pretty decent and went right under the radar with the pandemic.

Let the Right One In was very well done, the kind of movie that afterward you aren’t even sure what you should be most disturbed by about it 

Inside is one of the pinnacles of the French New Wave. If you’re familiar with other films in that category you know what you’re in for.
