Started Dragon Age 2. It’s immediately apparent that it was lower budget and lower quality than the first game, which I completed all 100+ hours of after all the DLC a while back. But I’m still having fun. I never played it because of the negative reviews around its release, but I’ve been done listening to gamers for a long time. They don’t actually read anything but RPG quest text and Twitter posts, so they can’t tell good writing from a dollar store novel. And too many of the opinions about these games revolve around character sexuality.

I’m here for the rock armor and pretending I’m an earthbender while I shoot stone fists at people. Working my way up to Veilguard because I tried to start it and was already lost at the descriptions of all the character backgrounds and choices that depend on what you did in Inquisition.
