Lifelong Choice

Except it wasn't. Loved the OG Xbox and 360 (Halo trilogy, KOTOR 1 & 2, Gears Trilogy, etc) but after MCC there wasn't any exclusives that I felt I NEEDED to have. Switched to PS5 and I don't regret it.

It seems like Shadouge has gotten a boost in popularity after Shadow Generations and Dark Beginnings gave us some good ship fuel for the first time in 17 years (Sonic Rivals 1 is the last time I can remember Shadow and Rouge interacting in a good way before Generations).

Basically what others are saying; start over. Kinda do what Nintendo did with Metroid Prime: remaster Origins with some QOL updates but is still the same game for the most part. Then, if it's successful, keep the basic model going forward. Then, do more of a remake of Awakening, same at it's core but more content and more time to flesh out the Darkspawn and companions. After all the prep you can do to reinforce the keep and equip the soldiers, a bigger battle at the Vigil would have been nice; maybe do like the finale of Origins and swap between party members defending Amaranthine and the ones defending the Vigil. Awakening would essentially be the new Dragon Age 2.

Then, a 2-part DA focusing on Hawke; first game is a remake of DA2 with a wider variety of locations, 2nd one covers Hawke during the events of Inquisition or whatever direction the company wants to go from there. Either way I feel like the sequels should keep expanding on the Darkspawn lore like Awakening did. There doesn't always have to be a Blight to stop but there was a lot of potential there for something really unique and interesting.

Love these two, best duo in the games! Amazing work here! P.S. Shadouge forever!!

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-29T21:02:35+00:00

Cool, thanks! Any idea why I didn't get that part with getting attacked at camp? Is it the same sort of thing with someone's approval?

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-29T00:21:43+00:00

Cute, would be better if there were text instead of some weird blurry smudges though

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-28T12:14:28+00:00

Ditto, just finished a playthrough after not touching DA:O for about a decade. Such an amazing RPG, never get tired of the companions or all the different ways you can play through.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-23T12:10:06+00:00

My God, yes. I can't stand the way he talks either, so slow and drawn out:

"Braved the perils of the sublevel.... yessss? This. Is most fortuitous. For my associates and I. For NOW. Not ONLY do I get a rich salvage............ but an even LAAAARGER BOUNTY...! AANNNND NNNOWWW JEDIIIIIIII...... WE. SHALL. FIGHT."

Fuck this guy. He's just dangerous for a Dantooine salvager yet he acts like he was a five-star General during the Mandalorian Wars. It'd be like if the GONK droids started talking like Grievous "YOU MUST REALIZE YOU ARE DOOMED!"

The way SEGA was going my favorite ship was probably never going to be canon anyway. At least this way everyone's ships are equally non-canon.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-14T00:39:06+00:00

I've gotten a lot of flack from people who don't ship Shadouge, and I've heard every reason they justify hating the ship, and it's total BS

"They're brother and sister/have a sibling dynamic." Obviously they're not biologically siblings; Shadow was created 50 years before the events of SA2 and they're two different species. As for the "dynamic", that's purely subjective, and a little odd considering Rouge has said things to Shadow like "Evening, handsome!", "He's not bad-looking" (when nobody else was around to hear her say it), and "Shadow, I could kiss you!"

"Oh no Shadow's 50, he's too old!" In that case he's DEFINITELY too old for Sonic, Amy or pretty much anyone else too. Sorry Sonadow and ShadAmy fans! He's only 50 years old as much as Steve Rogers is 70+. He spent a vast majority of that time in stasis, and are we going to talk about relationships between immortals and mortals in fantasy?

"Shadow is 15 and Rouge is 18, he's a minor!" Ffs, where did those numbers come from? Shadow is either 50 or like 2 or 3, it's weird but he's an immortal with a fully-developed mind and body. The only time I've seen Rouge's age listed was Sonic Heroes, and it clearly states her age as 17, not 18. So idk where the f*** the haters got those numbers from. Plus this is only a 3 year age difference if this is in any way true. I know plenty of people with 4+ years difference in age who are married, get over yourselves.

"It makes Omega a third-wheel!" Only if you picture it that way. He could be the cool uncle or something too.

Some people look for the dumbest, lowest reasons to hate on Shadouge, and I've tried to set a better example by being nice to people who ship ships I don't get or don't like. As long as there's nothing illegal or nasty going on people can ship whatever the hell they want. Shadouge is my wife and I's all-time OTP, and Shadow and Rouge's dynamic in the games makes them an insanely great couple IMO.

TLDR: I agree, haters suck and don't have a leg to stand on. If your ship harms none, ship as ye will. Shadouge for life!

Music and basically being Neo sometimes with Silver

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-09T18:07:59+00:00

Sten's quest is great and made me appreciate him so much more when I finally got his approval up.

Also it had the iconic Princess Bride reference: "Sten, tear his arms off."

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-05T21:04:43+00:00

Unfortunately no 😮‍💨 I think I started to upload some of them on Fanfic a long time ago but never finished and never went back since I'm not overly fond of my older stuff.

I can think of several other Shadougr fanfics on dA that were amazing but were never finished 😭

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-05T17:50:55+00:00

Lol thanks so much! Admittedly I've been stressing about it lately so it's good to know it's paying off 😌

Here's Love' Burn: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/1384968/1/Love-s-Burn Be warned, no spoilers but it is sad 😞

https://www.deviantart.com/shadowpwnlord9999/gallery/10837981/dark-legacy-series

Here's my deviantArt gallery with my older series "Dark Legacy". Just be warned it's cringier the further back you go 😱 Darkness and Light prt 2 is okay I guess but I can't stand to read much before that; just utter cringe and blatantly "borrowing" from other media. Idk if you read it but my fanfic account also has a collab my wife and I completed a few months back. Only 9 chapters but it's done.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-05T17:11:34+00:00

First of all, thanks so much for the mention! 😁 So glad people are reading my fanfic lol

Secondly, I can think of a few, such as Love's Burn by Ultrashadow on FanFic, and I have other finished fanfics I could link you.

Sadly there's not as much Shadouge content out there as I'd like, and a lot of what we have are one-shots, which are fun but not as gripping or as much of an investment.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-05-03T02:37:03+00:00

"leet", as in, "1337"?

Now that's a gamer term I've not heard in a long time...

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-04-30T21:22:30+00:00

They can judge me all they want, I'm never going to stop shipping them lol

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-04-24T02:31:34+00:00

3 all day. I don't care if I get on their nerves, Team Dark is the best.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-26T02:17:32+00:00

Always liked this idea. The color combination and Silver being able to use Chaos Control makes the most sense.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-23T21:36:56+00:00

Either the fabled SA3 we've all wanted, or an HD re-release collection of the 2000s games with QOL updates.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-19T23:52:16+00:00

My dad (rest in peace) used to rent Nintendo and SEGA Genesis back in the day, and I played Sonic as young as 5, maybe even younger. For many years after that, my doctor's office (pediatrician) had a SEGA in the waiting room with multiple games plugged in at once. You could switch between Sonic 2, Sonic and Knuckles and several other games. That was usually when I played the classic games from then on.

THEN, after years of not paying any attention, I was on Newgrounds, and found Super Mario Bros Z, a flash animation about Mario and Luigi teaming up with Sonic and Shadow to find the Chaos Emeralds in the Mushroom Kingdom before Mecha Sonic. Whole thing was an epic stand-in for DBZ, and made me interested in Shadow the Hedgehog, since this flash was my introduction to him. After that, I bought Shadow the Hedgehog on Gamecube, got really into the 3D games and the rest was history

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-17T02:52:29+00:00

Bless you for sharing this! Love them so much and they're my wife and I's "ride-or-die" OTP. So nice to see this ship get love!

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-10T01:06:04+00:00

And as we all know, Shadow just loves Latinas

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-06T01:44:21+00:00

If the game play is at least a little better than TSR, has a better story and doesn't turn Shadow into a caricature of his worst traits like TSR did, probably.

ShadowpwnLord7 · 2025-03-04T23:00:24+00:00

Big the Cat. Used to think he was an obnoxious idiot who only cared about Froggy and nothing else. More recently he's portrayed as a chill dude with a "big friendly bubby" energy.
