For example, why the hell is it impossible to visit Denerim, of all places, in this game?

The video posted has a link to a series of playthrough videos by a guy who played as a sword & shield reaver. Here's the last in the series:

Game of the year if it was 1999: Thief—I'm not talking this year's Thief reboot. That game was, to be frank, garbage—a graceless heap of Thief limbs and organs without a Thief heart or a Thief soul. However, it did lead me to play the original Thief for the first time in my life, and holy shit that game is still…

Thanks - it just seemed unusually neat, in that it sets up the whole conflict for the remainder of the story. If there was something special about her being basically Thedas Pope Lady, that's one thing, but otherwise it seems like a random plot contrivance, and most people are giving it a pass because it happens at…

First off - I am not down with the whole "this isn't a real ending" sentiment. It is. It's as much a decent narrative ending as, say, the one in Thor 2 (warning, spoilers, stop reading) where Thor beats the ninth doctor on Earth, but Surprise! Loki is sitting on the throne of Asgard. The end boss fight seemed a little…

What, the numbers? Maybe not, but it's not like they're just made up:

Meh. There's a story floating around out there that DA:I and a few other games use some kind of copy protection which causes a massive amount of disk activity, enough to cause an SSD to fail due to excessive writes.

Yes, a hot chocolate pot. Because a fondue pot wasn't quite useless enough.

I just want to point out that this guy knows to record a video in landscape orientation, even when it's actually _of_ a phone in portrait orientation.

WARNING: Stupid question follows.

Oh yeah. I very much enjoyed the first two games. In fact, my principle beef with DA:I so far is that I can't my world state to import from Bioware's The Keep site. (Well, that and the tactical camera isn't great indoors. And I'm going to get repetitive strain injury from the looting. O my god, the looting. But…

I had a true co-dependent moment yesterday. Stopped by Target because my wife wanted to pick up winter boots for the kiddo, and while there, she just drops this bomb on me: "So, while we're here, you wanna get an XBox One?"

So we walked out with one. And DA:I was the one game I bought additionally. It has not…

His defense attorney would like a word with you.

I got called to work. Technically I was supposed to have the day off, but there was a work emergency and I wound up telecommuting for about six hours. After that, pretty much the last thing I wanted was to put up with Black Friday crowds.

If God didn't want us to eat diabetes, he wouldn't have made diabetes so delicious.

Oh god, Homeworld. I still remember mission 3 (returning to Kharak after the first jump test).

OF COURSE.

A few years ago, while suffering from an extended bout of lower back pain, I was researching slim wallets while taking a break at work. So picture me, in my cube, nonchalantly surfing to Big Skinny's web site. The following two things then happened at precisely the same moment:

I really enjoyed both of the DA games. A brief bit: Flemeth and Morrigan are voiced by Kate Mulgrew and Claudia Black, respectively, and they completely steal every scene they're in. Totally worth it.
