    I am going to start by who I won't have. Aveline looks really boring and standard, nothing exciting about her really. Sebastion can go fuck himself, arrogant bastard. Whiny sister and brother can stay away as well. That leaves Merrill, Fenris, Anders and Varric, I will see who I pick when I get the game I guess.

    You forgot the ass and boobs. Supposedly there's another companion attached to them.

    Well I was mostly going to make her a house wife.

    Thats terribly chauvinistic to treat ass and boobs companion like that.

    Just managed to beat the Archdemon on my playthrough to replace my lost save.

    Apparently a properly built Rogue can solo him on Nightmare :)

    Epilogue is still bugged though :(

    I've never really had a problem with the Epilogue any of the times I beat Origins. What kind of things usually lead to Epilogue fuckery?

    Speaking of giblets, where do my screenshots (via print screen) go?

    Shit, I guess it's just not saving my screenshots :/

    Try changing the button. That fixed the problem in DAO

    No, actually it isn't.

    I tend to believe the symbiotic demon theory with Flemeth, myself. It works within the framwork of the story based on what we know about abominations (very powerful) and that its not impossible (Wynne). Justice is also a nice reminder that there are more kinds of spirits than just the reg 4 nefarious ones, and possessions can happen in strange ways.

    I think that I'll be doing two handed swords my first run, despite a strong urge to play sword and board again because that was by far my most fun in DA:O

    Between two handed swords actually being good now, and the fact that I really like Aveline and also her unique specialization is all kinds of hotness, I think I can give up the role of tank to her and feel good about that.

    I'm playing it but I'm really worried about the consequences. I second guess every decision I make. Should I just roll with it, or are there any particular decisions I should be wary of?
    I'm on my first playthrougth too and so far the only thing I regret is getting conned by some Wolfe guy in Amaranthine. That dude is getting a dagger through the gut when I bring my rogue character through there.

    I have this horrible habit of always placing myself in the situation and doing what I would do or say if there. I works for the first couple of games, but then nothing really changes. Every time I try and start an evil run of any game, I just can't do it. I always go back to roleplaying myself.

    Except for ME2, most of the renegade interrupts are awesome and I can totally see myself doing them under certain circumstances. I know I found myself in love with the sarcastic Hawke response the moment I tried it.

    Makes me want to see a DA2 poster with the words 'Hope' and 'Change' underneath...

    Huh, injuries are different now. You can have up to four, if you play on Nightmare, with each category increasing the maximum by one and every single one of them lowers your health by 20%.

    ... Nightmare is going to be pretty brutal if you run out of injury kits.
