Dammit, Bioware, some of us don’t *have* XBox 360s.

Some of us have PCs on which we would be playing our Dragon Age: Origins DLC.  Return to Ostagar is almost two weeks late: I’ve been preparing my post-epilogue party for its run for almost that amount of time*.  Give me the DLC, already.

Yes, yes, if I had a Xbox 360 I wouldn’t be worrying about all those benighted, beleaguered PC sufferers. Your point?

Yes, well, we already knew that I’m strange.

*Heavy mage for this one: my Elven mage (arcane warrior/spirit healer) as tank, Leiliana (bard/ranger) as DPS/lockpick/automated drone controller, Wynne (spirit healer/arcane warrior) as buffer and Morrigan (shapechanger/arcane warrior) as DPS.  I expect a lot of pyrotechnics.

I am down to single hours in Dragon Age.

Three floors at Fort Drakon, including the archdemon. Over 110 hours of gameplay, which given the forty or so bucks I paid for it suggests that I got a pretty respectable ROI. I’m nowhere near a hardcore computer gamer, so I probably wasted a good 30 or so of those hours doing stupid or redundant things; but it was worth it.

If you have the time, pick up Dragon Age: Origins: it’s the business. Hell, my wife wants to play it when I’m done, and she doesn’t play video games.

More time/brain/soul-eating content for Dragon Age.

Dragon Age Journeys:  it’s a Flash-based online game that Bioware’s put together to suck in more people to Dragon Age: Origins. Not that they particularly need to, seeing as the main game is seriously addictive.  DAJ is sort of a stripped-down version of DAO: I haven’t gotten to the point yet of finding out whether it duplicates the mass combat system, but so far it looks like a good introduction to the main game concepts.

Plus, if you play it you can unlock items.  Good news for people just starting the main game.

Apparently, DST was an integral part of my blogging strategy.

I’ve been increasingly feeling like I’m under a midnight ‘deadline’ – if that even means anything – since it ended.  Then again, that might just be the Dragon Age: Origins… which is playing out like a mediocre tabletop roleplaying game.

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ACCOMPLISHMENT OF BIOWARE’S.  No, seriously.  That ain’t an easy goal to reach.

So. Dragon Age: Origins.

Thanks to Penny Arcade, I downloaded the character generator to Dragon Age: Origins.  It… has a certain appeal.  Does anybody have an opinion on this one?  It’s moderately expensive, but I’d like a fantasy first person shooter and this is certainly pretty-looking; but I’m going to be forty next year, so maybe I should be a bit more dignifi…

HA!  Sorry: I thought that I could write that with a straight face.
