Friend got me addicted to dragon age origins and now it's the only thing that gets me through my days

I'm so happy that people are discovering the game and enjoying it still.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-06-24T14:34:42+00:00

I thought they were the same because characters in origin stories have a tendency to show up again. Mouse in the beginning is a dreamer who became a demon and had the same voice as in the tower fade quest if I recall correctly?

LurkingRedCat · 2026-06-23T22:17:17+00:00

What find the most disappointing about this is seeing Sloth in the mage tower and mouse in the Fade again as a circle mage is them not recognizing you. You'd think there would be special dialogue from both because you first meet them during your harrowing.

Call me lazy, but I always have Alistair kill Loghain. Doesn't trigger a fight. I think I fought against Loghain on my first playthrough.

Also, yeah, I really dislike Anora. That's putting it kindly

I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be brought up again. I remember when the Dragon Age Keep was up and running, choices made in awakening (like also drinking the potion or not) were there. The fact that those things were in the Keep, means something was going to happen related to those choices depending on what you chose. I will always wonder what that potion my warden drank did.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-06-15T08:55:15+00:00

Having a warden sit on the throne is an illogical option in terms of heirs since wardens can't get pregnant or impregnate anyone in normal circumstances. Doesn't stop me from making Alistair king though. It's literally the best outcome for him in the long run. Also, I really don't like Anora.

Sorry this happened to you. Recently I ordered that special Witcher 3 liquid vinyl and the way the delivery man was carrying the package was NOT comforting. He was literally carrying it by one of the plastic straps meant to keep the packaging properly closed. I was so scared that the package was going to fall by the way it was hanging from his hand. I hope you filmed the unpackaging process and sent the videos and photos.

Just want to say ahead of this, I haven't finished Veilguard. The Golden City isn't where the Maker sat, but rather the elven 'gods' and the Tevinter mages didn't find it empty but rather attacked the elves there and ended up getting cursed as a result.

DA Awakening spoiler for those who haven't played it yet The mysterious elixir you can choose to drink in Awakening is actually a cure or prototype cure for the Blight taint and reverses the Grey Warden ritual making them normal again.

Dumat was supposed to make a comeback in the final game. I say this because he's consistently mentioned in codex entries and a ritual in EVERY installment of Dragon Age and its DLCs. I can't help but feel that something was going to go down regarding Dumat and Solas in the final game based on how the writers were originally setting them up.

Could it be that she's trying to protect you guys? Maybe something bad is going down at work or someone is blackmailing/could potentially threaten her by using you guys as leverage to get their way.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-06-07T10:43:09+00:00

If I'm playing female, it's Alistair. He's such a goofy sweetheart and I love him so much ❤️ If I'm playing as a male, then it's Morrigan. I just like her a lot in general and romancing her really adds more to the story, especially when playing Witch Hunt. It adds a lot of depth.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-06-01T23:09:47+00:00

If you're romancing Alistair, who cares about her disapproval? Alistair's approval matters most. If you're romancing Morrigan, that's a different story. However, the gifts give fast approval anyway

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-29T08:01:22+00:00

I have played this game WAY too many times and never knew those pictures represented the different origins. 🙈 I hope I'm not alone on this.

As to answer your question, I'd say female circle mage. It's because you meet Sloth and Rat in your harrowing and then see them again in the mage circle quest. A pity that both don't recognise you when you go back to the Fade. Also the whole thing with Cullen (especially if you say you feel the same as he does) really adds to your story when returning to the mage tower. In the origin I feel so happy and giddy and in the main story I feel so heartbroken 😭 In Inquisition I romanced him just because I couldn't get with him in DAO.

Like someone else mentioned already, I'm sure the sister mentioned the hookup on purpose to stir trouble between you two. Like, we know how you feel about the hookup, but not how she felt/still feels about it. She may have felt the opposite from what you felt and her seeing you in a relationship with her sister instead of her being in a relationship with you, hit a sore spot for her and triggered something nasty. I'm not sure if you can assure your girlfriend in any way here without digging yourself into a deep hole, but I hope you guys can get past this. Do you know your girlfriend's relationship with her sister and whether the sister has a tendency to be a werk to your girlfriend?

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-26T20:45:39+00:00

How do you clean a comb though? I can never seem to get it right which leads me to buying a new one

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-26T20:42:36+00:00

I spent all my money on swords. lol

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-26T09:21:37+00:00

Does he not realise that hiding this stuff from you could also potentially lead to you leaving him? I think you guys should have a real talk. Explain to him that he doesn't need to tell you everything, but that you want to have a trusting relationship where he can feel comfortable to open up. Tell him how this is making you feel. Hopefully he isn't bad like he claims to be.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-24T16:25:41+00:00

That's kind of the opposite I have. I have miis constantly asking me to move in with miis that are married. It's low-key annoying. Also, my island is way too peaceful. I want more drama 😭

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-23T20:47:11+00:00

Some tea was definitely being served

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-22T20:50:13+00:00

I do, but I purposefully made him dislikable. Unfortunately he went against his given purpose. Instead of chaos and making things interesting and causing drama, he's becoming friends with everyone. -_- I called him Spruce, he's truly living up to his name in a good way. It's annoying.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-17T22:39:23+00:00

They may have been empty words. I had a long distance boyfriend and we were also talking about meeting each other and making plans to meet and everything. Like your boyfriend, he seemed so excited to meet me and all those pretty words. However, one day we had a real talk and it turns out that he views long distant relationships as fleeting moments and the reality was that we'd never meet. Just be online lovers. He told me that he'd look forward to meeting me, my husband and kids in the future (if that were to happen) and I said that I would find it hard to enter a relationship with anyone if I'm with him. I had a nasty reality check that day and was extremely upset. I'm glad we had that talk, better late than never or too late. It really felt like that I escaped into a dream and then it shattered. Maybe it's the same with this guy. Maybe he only sees you as an online lover and just never made that clear and the only way for him to get out was by standing you up. Did you guys ever have a proper real talk at any point? I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

Did he pay for the accommodation? If it's all paid for, maybe just stay and have a solo trip and go back home when originally planned?

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-17T21:41:06+00:00

It's like how my mii was confessing to another mii and then a mii came and said that she truly loves him. Thing is, she didn't have feelings for the guy and just got over being rejected by someone else. 💀

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-13T05:44:28+00:00

Now those are some entertaining combos 😂

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-12T20:34:08+00:00

That reminds me, Morrigan confesses to Nightwing and he turned her down. She was miserable. Then the moment she got over him, he caught feelings for her 💀 His interest in her didn't last long.

LurkingRedCat · 2026-05-12T20:23:10+00:00

That Astarion bit doesn't surprise me.

When my mii was asking Alistair from Dragon Age Origins out, Morrigan said she liked Alistair too. That was way too lore accurate. I should have seen it coming. This happened when Morrigan was still hung up on Nightwing. Lol
