1. Finished the first play-through of Dragon Age 2 (as a female rogue) the other day, and now I'm playing again as a mage. Female, again. The face is the same except for the swipe of red across the nose that I had as a rogue. I don't know who to romance this time, but Anders is just so angsty and in need of romancing! (we lived happily ever after in the first play-through.) Maybe I'll choose Merrill this time. We'll see how the story goes.

2. I also downloaded the new Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim. I haven't played with it yet, except to start the main Dragonborn quest, which happens when cultists attack you after you've installed the DLC.

3. I mostly got Dragon Age 2 and the new Skyrim content for the boys when they visit. I'm just ... testing it out. Okay? But now I'm broke again because downloading games and DLC costs money. :( I don't know where I'm going to get money for gas to drive to Gainesville in a couple of weeks.

4. I finished the big climactic action scene for Dragon Big Bang. It was more anxiety-producing than fun, and now I'm worried that I let everyone off the hook too easily. For a time I considered killing off Sheriff Stilinski, but dude, he's my favorite adult. (not counting Derek as an adult. He's got the whole arrested emotional development going on)

5. I really do say dude? Dude. Maybe Stiles is rubbing off on me.

6. I'm watching Labyrinth again today. AGAIN.

I really need to play DA2. I played Origins, and my kid has a copy of DA2 that he's been through more than once, but I got distracted by other shiny things (the story of my life) and I haven't been able to shoehorn another game in. Maybe after Yuletide....

It's definitely worth the time. It's a great story!

If you're looking for "angsty and in need of romance," Fenris totally fits the bill. Although as a mage it would be a rivalry romance. Isabella is also a fun romance. Though you should take what I say with a grain of salt because I kind of hated Anders. :(

haha so many people hate Anders and I just don't understand it! (except the part where he SPOILERs up the SPOILER, SPOILERing the SPOILER and SPOILERING me totally) (I took him back anyway because I couldn't help myself and wanted a happy ending)

Maybe if/when I play as a warrior, I'll romance Fenris. IDK, though. He reminds me too much of an actor I don't like that I can't remember the name of right now.

Isabella is too fun, I think. I want a little weight to my romance. I think I'll go with Merrill now and possibly Fenris on my next playthrough. :D?

I can't believe I have SO MUCH to say about a video game romance.
