Cassandra reading to herself during the trespasser credits was the funniest and cutest thing, I could listen to it all day

The fact that I have nothing capable of playing DA:TV once it comes out makes me want to puke a little

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

Sometimes I see a picture taken in the early 90s, and it’s got that 90’s grain to the film quality, and the clothes look thick and like they’ll last for next 3 decades—minimum—and the lighting is JUST warm enough to feel like 6:00pm in early fall and you can almost SMELL the coolness in the air, and it makes me sick with the desire to have been in that moment.

Our baby boy, Kieran, is gonna be like 20 in this game 😪

Paid $9 just to get canonical confirmation that I did in fact move in with my son and baby mama.

… it’s not a bad fight. I am simply a dummy.

The arch demon fight doesn’t feel satisfying. It just feels like unending pain. And I did not sign up for that level of realism in a game.

Fool that I am, I assumed that playing DA:O on casual would mean that fighting the arch demon would be manageable. It is not so. Please help.

My party is a rogue specked for dual weapon damage, Alastair, Sten, and Wynne maxed for healing that she never seems to use.

Cassandra acting like she doesn't want to dance at the Winter Palace as if it wasn't the most fanfiction-esque scenario that she's definitely read in a romance novel before.

You know she was holding it back with all her might, fully expecting The Inquisitor to make the move all night, just waiting for the chance to be like "No- we shant...🫣" when things get a little spicy before being willingly wisped away to an empty chamber

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

Ok but Varric continuing to write stories for Cassandra is canon. It’s literally in the final scene of the game. Like, future historians of Thedas are going to be writing dissertations on Swords & Shields vol. 7 like “Ah yes, this is the smut that the Viscount of Kirkwall wrote for the Pope.”

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

I get the fascination with Zevran now. I really do.

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

We call it kirkwall fashion

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

I want like Wynne. I want to like Wynne SO bad. But she just keeps YAPPIN

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

Ummm. Controversial opinion: I kind of love the Fade in DA:O. It makes me feel like I’m good at video games.

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

DAYum.

[cassandrapentayaaaaas]

Okay, DA:O appreciation post.

I kind of love the fact that you’re not spoon-fed where to go and who to see. The map is wonky and kind of useless, and a lot of the quests don’t have functional markers. I feel like that adds some realism that other games of this genre loose for the sake of playability. This game immerses you in a world that’s falling apart largely because it’s clunky and chaotic in how it runs, and I truly love that.
