Lol there's actually

*ahem*

Moving on, went to Redcliffe to free Connor from the demon possessing him which was a disappointingly easy fight. Now I just need to get the Sacred Ashes to wake up Eamon.

I'm leaving Denerim to last due to it being the place where the throne is so I am now in Orzammar, just looking around in the main part so far. I love it in Tapster's Tavern, particularly the dwarf who sings about becoming the Paragon of Drinking.

I think I leave the game on pause too often though, I'm currently on 20% complete, 32% of the world explored but 53 hours played! Whoops. Just hit level 12 with my party as well (which is now permanently Pev/Alistair/Leliana/Wynne).

Oh yeah definitely, I love the fact you get her little rhyme as you're running up the corridor towards her, really well done

On the first day they come and take everyone...

I actually thought that was Morrigan rhyming when it first started, the voice sounded a lot like hers. After 3 verses I zoomed in and saw she wasn't saying anything and I was like...uh oh.

And Brood Mother is hard but not impossible. One of the harder fights of the game for me for sure, but I managed to beat her on hard without any healing spells. And Morrigan was fairly useless as she was an AoE expert which didn't make much of a difference against Brood Mother (not enough room to get around for other chars).

Been quite some time, was chatting about this with Niall earlier and am going to start back in on it. I forget if I have an Awakening thread anywhere so update:

I finished Origins, Awakening and all DLC with Pevil. I accidentally sacrificed Alistair at the end of Origins (I thought I could click the options and get a kind of "this is what will happen, are you sure?" but no, he just runs on in, oops!) so not thrilled with that but oh well!

So now I'm going to start with some of my other characters. Not sure which I'll play right through - I want to have at least all the origins played and then I'll have some kind of evil playthrough, probably taking Loghain, Morrigan and Sten, then I need a couple of other playthroughs to try out Shale, Zevran, Oghren, the dog... any others I've forgotten? Wynne, Leliana and Alistair have been pretty well played on my Pevil file so will see if I take those in any others or not. Wynne will probably get a look in on some of the plays just for her healing.

I'm after all the achievements as well so that could be... er... fun. Considering I think one is to do it on the hardest difficulty, plus there's all the different endings/romances/siding with different people to do. Plus this way I'll get some more files to import into my DA2 games, as I have 5 more playthroughs planned out for that!

Good job there are no more games I want for a while.
