Dwarven Architecture ~ Revisited

Notes: The inspiration for Modern Fantasy Dwarves A few years ago, I put together a very quick series of photographs of Dwarven Architecture across various games. I had noticed that there seems to be a generally agreed style of dwarven architecture across different fantasy worlds, which I suspect traces back to The Lord of the…

#dragonage challenge (6)

  Day 26: Crack otp Haven’t considered this at all, so off the top of my head I guess Orsino and Meredith getting it on would be fairly crazy. Day 27: Best part of the games The characters.  The slow uncovering of the lore.  The artwork – especially the narrative cut scenes for Dragon Age…

21: Favourite villain this is a toughie…  Arl Howe was really good, possibly because he was voiced by Tim Curry.  He seemed like a proper old-school film villain.  So there’s him, but…  I also really liked Meredith.  She was great to hate, totally convinced she was on a just and holy path and it also turned out…

#dragonage challenge (4)

16: Your ultimate team for all games To be honest, in terms of skills they’re all pretty interchangeable.  In terms of personality, I have too many favourites to choose just 4.  It also depends on my mood.  So the short answer is that I don’t have one.  If I wrote a longer answer, it would…

#dragonage challenge (1)

So this is a similar deal to the Skyrim challenge, I will answer the 30 day challenge 5 questions at a time, weekly.  The original post is here. Favourite Game Hmm, this is a difficult one.  I loved Origins because of all the origin stories, the storyline and the companions.  I also like the combat…

DA2 – a sweary rant

ok it’s probably NSFW (swearing).  I found this in my drafts folder and it made me laugh reading it back when I found it…  (it’s sort of true.. sort of) I think the most annoying thing about DA2 is that it ends up being all about appeasing your companions…  Oh noes I supported mages, bang…

2014: the year of Elders Scrolls & Dragon Age

Well for the first three months of the year, all I could think about was Elder Scrolls.  Even to the extent of starting very enjoyable replays / noodling around of Morrowind, Oblivion & Skyrim.  I love this world so much – the freedom and exploration, the sneaking and thieving, killing things with a bow…  Finally, Elder Scrolls Online…

Replaying DA Awakenings & DA2

phew well I’m cracking through the DA story ready for Inquisition!  So far, it’s been absolutely brilliant.  I have also read The Stolen Throne (prequel to Origins) and The Calling (also a prequel but sheds light on the events in Awakening).  I have Asunder ready to be read once I have finished DA2 (occurs between…

too many games

After having a pretty much complete break from gaming for the last few weeks (flu virus thing), I’m in the strange position of wanting to play too many different games but being completely out of the habit…  It’s been quite nice curled up on the sofa watching Dexter with Dimzad and having JiJi (kitten) curled…
