A. I think the only Dragon Age game I didn't play on the day of release was DAO, which I played in the month of release.

The other thing is that while I don't visualise stuff, I have some sort of innate description of how stuff is laid out in my head. It's not visual, but I can reproduce, say, a map of the layout of a building. I liken it to the code in a 3D game as opposed to the rendered graphics.

I'm also aphantasic. I have an inner monologue in that I can think words in my head, and that's also how I read, but I don't have that thing where people have some inner voice commenting on everything they do. I also get earworms all the time. They generally get triggered by a word or phrase...

I love both Horizon games and it's hard to overstate the lack of interest I have in this. When's the next story-driven single-player game coming out?

It's a stretch since none of the VAs speak with a Cornish accent, but that was my reasoning.

With Dalish elves when I had to give them an English VA, I got this idea that because they mostly had Welsh and Irish accents, and those are celtic countries, I would choose Cornish names, since Cornwall is the celtic part of England (although some Cornish would dispute that they are English.)

I'm grateful that, as a straight guy,I have never had to worry about coming out. The closest I've come to feeling what it must be like to be queer was being the straight guy in the Sera thread at BSN back in the day (so not close at all!) What I try to do is accept people as they are.

Sepsis? Uff. I don't like the guy but even when you don't die of that, you don't tend to recover fully...

Yeah. He'd be 35 so definitely still very possible for him to win. (And far more feasible than MTB.)

As a 50 year-old it makes little difference to me. V is a youngster. 😉

A variation of that has been a favourite of mine since the 90s. I remember an American friend telling me that she lived near Cincinnati, "just five hours' drive away." I was like, "In five hours I could have driven from York to the south coast of England and be boarding a ferry to France!"

Is that Morrigan? I think that's Morrigan.

I played it! Last time I checked I was still getting the Serault Glass and the extra war table missions.

Good news for Del Toro next year.

F - Sera. I had the character for my first Inquisitor planned to romance her and it worked out amazingly well.

A for my canon Inquisitor who's a mage and very suspicious of Templars, but I would say that if you've never made an Inquisitor who'd choose B, you've missed out.

Of those, Larian, but honesty for a DA game I'd prefer CDPR or Owlcat over Bethesda or Rockstar. Don't Nod would either be awful or amazing...

Mage. I tend to switch between mage and rogue as it is. I always find brute force characters the most boring.

I'm not picky. I'll also take a character from Mass Effect, Baldur's Gate, Cyberpunk, The Witcher...
