C. I love my trophies, really, but they have never been the only reason I have replayed a Dragon Age game. I tend to invest a lot of time and play all the way through so there has to be something more I am interested in than just achievements.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

A I really enjoy a well voiced protagonist when playing a game.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

C Three. I have only played as Qunari in DATV because I love the bad-assedness of the race so much in that game (I long for more tall, well muscled female characters - who look like they can tackle a dragon).

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

D I have romances that I am invested in in all the others. In DATV my character feels like someone else entirely rather than a variant or regeneration.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

B I want it to be Fenris (but I suspect it would be Dorian).

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

D I am going with likely to have the most experience here.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

A I played them in order before DA-TV came out, then replayed DAI after that. Origins is my next play through but it’s also the one I played longest ago.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

A No, but… there are one or two fights/scenes I really really wish I could skip.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

A and C. Sven and Alistair were both formidable and I enjoyed using them. That said, Cassandra and Iron Bull early game and Blackwall late game were amazing too.

001

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

A It’s part of the reason I play.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

C My Hawke was the most charismatic and easily my favourite. My Inquisitor is second place only because I made her to be able to romance Solas which limited my options/preferences.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

C DAI for the forest sounds in Jaws of Hakkon.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

B - Ferelden definitely. They have that whole rustic mushroom forward ale infused thing going on. And likely the best home smoked bacon, not to mention copious amounts of cheese. So. Much. Cheese.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

E - which doesn’t mean I am not in the middle of two others.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

A I feel like it has the most mechanics I still want to dive into and the most challenging gameplay. Also, oddly I have never played the DLC for it and really want to.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

B I tried a lot of different things before I found my favourite play style, which meant creating race/class combinations over and over. Oh, and going easy on the makeup, really easy.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

4 - I love her caustic banter. I also am a bit fangirl about Claudia Black though, so there’s that.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

D Stroud. I left Hawke once and Varric’s reaction gutted me. Never again.

250

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

C - DAI but not for the reasons you’d think. I am a sucker for playing fashion designer with my armour.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

4 - It is in my top five games ever.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

B It would be a decent tie-in storywise and bookend the series overall.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

A - I really enjoy having a character with some friction in my games. Sten disagreed with my actions frequently and that was more interesting than everyone being in accord.

000

Lo-tech Stargate right there.

000

Is it consensus based? Or more of a user group perspective thing? So interested, please tell us more.

A - Oghren. As noted below, he is permaschnozzled. More booze is just maintenance.

The books hold a silence that gives everyone who enters pause.

Flowers are the full concentrated power of the sun incarnate. Cottage garden is really shining this year.

B - Given a choice, I choose not to give my money to companies who behave badly. The original still works for me. I would much rather give my money to an independent Bioware project with the original game devs.

040

A -oh I want to say B or C cause *swoon* but my roguish Hawke was crushing hard on Aveline the whole time. What a woman.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

C Ah, the dog merchant. I feel like it was something friendly but unremarkable beginning with s or c.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

B -Nope (I failed to save fire arrows and then died horribly and not in the winning sense).

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

B - good, but I have some notes. Character wise I can’t help but feeling the writer based her on their mom. Her style of faith, reading habits, and exasperated demeanour all read mom coded to me.

030

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

B - Surface Dwarf. I think I could swing travelling merchant with the ability to avoid darkspawn and bandits. Also, the other options are too close quarters peopley for my tolerance level.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

A - My roguish warden and Morrigan are the stealthy and sleuthy duo for this mission. Shenanigans ensue!

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Huzzah, sir. On behalf of badass amazons everywhere.

000

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

B - Hawke, after surreptitiously flagging down the barman and ordering a whole second pizza for the table on someone else’s tab.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

B - I’ve read Tevinter Nights and Masked Empire.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

D - my Rook was chaotic good but also naive. They had the least amount if emotional damage inflicted on them prior to the story events so if that counts as a happy childhood then they’re the one.

Angela @hestia77.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Within contemporary ethical standards irl absolutely not. Within the world of Thedas, and in line with the form and function of secret ritualistic initiation, it’s justified if still textbook coercive.

B - It’s Cassandra, mostly because I find it amusing and most interesting. But, admittedly, softened Leliana feels more like the correct choice in terms of the overall morality of the key story elements.

Beautiful front garden flowers.

The submarines in the Great Lakes frequently encounter guidance issues owing to the local lamprey population which has developed a taste for the external solar arrays. Their saliva has corrosive properties which damage the sensitive equipment causing damage from underwater collisions.

050

Chips, dips, chains and whips.

I like it, but I have trust issues about the premise/ending possibilities.
