superstande: Mornings...
Aaand our moped died again :) I don't know if I'd rather cry or laugh... but I'm getting to be kinda emotionless about him - the name is Oliver.

Oliver! Please! You can't die!

Going to push it to my dad's place, again. When I feel like it.

But on the plus side, I've managed to progress in Dragon Age, save reads 37 hours, and my completion is up to... 15% :D
I'm sorry to hear about your moped, I hope your necromantic tinkering brings Oliver back...again!

37 hours and you're still at 15%? Sounds like it's gonna be a 100 hour plus kinda game. Hopefully it stays interesting :D

I remember Gothic 3 being well over a hundred hours long and I'll fully admit that while I loved most of it, there were definitely times when I thought to myself "whyyyyy can't you be overrrr?!?!?!". Granted those thoughts mostly popped up when I had been spending hours upon hours looking for specific NPCs or cave or what have you, because it was easily the size of Skyrim but without Skyrim's magical all knowing quest compass.

Oh man, just had a flashback to a quest. You were supposed to find a blacksmith so he could teach you a specific technique. Normally he could be found in his village but as soon as you started the quest he would disappear, having gone on a journey. The person who gave you directions on where he went basically said "he went north" and that was it. No specific directions or ideas of where to look, just told to head north. North in this case involved a HUGE swath of area (think of a entire Hold in Skyrim, or at least half the map in a GTA 3 era GTA game), much of which was hard to traverse and navigate. Fun times. I did finally find him though.

JunglePredator: I'm mostly an RPGer & while my progression in DA:O was alright it didn't really hook me.
I found it kinda tedious & slow; DA:I is much much better.

DA:O didn't even get a spot on my HDD this time around even though I'm not done it yet.

superstande: I understand that about DA:O quite well, I think: There are so many things that could have been done better.
I feel like it could have been the publisher's fault (not sure, just a hunch) - like as if they cut out lot of the original stuff (the irony of Origins not having original stuff) ... like the personalities of npc and pc characters could have been more ... quirky, funny, odd - anything that stands out from the "I have my duty, I must do it, please don't upset me. I am made of wood and stone," - crowd :)

But there is still some interesting stuff going on, interesting people. Hopefully there are still more to be met.
It's EA. Of course they did a bad job on stuff. :-p
Bioware is a mixed bag of stuff. They're completely owned by EA but sometimes they do very good; sometimes very bad.
Hard to tell why.
Some people say it's because EA heavy hands them sometimes.
The characters in DA:I are generally better. However DA:I plays more like a witcher game which is why it's probably so much better.
Good morning, everyone!

Happy Sunday everyone *big hugs and waves* :)

Sounds lovely :-) You have the next few days off, if I remember right? Got anything special planned then?

I could have used a bit more sleep. A rainstorm woke me up, and I wasn't able to sleep much after that. But I'm happy that we finally got some rain :-) ... It means I can go for a nice walk today, since the temperature will be cooler \o/ ... Otherwise, I'll just hang around and play some games :-)

ElTerprise: Early? I wish :P

How are you doing?
It's only Noon:33 though. Normal people don't wake up that early, do they? =__o
I'm tired, but good otherwise :-) How about your lovely armless self?

Good morning, lovely people of Fred!

Jut a quick visit to say goodbye before I go on my anniversary trip tomorrow. I will not be online for the week while I am away, and I have to start some new treatment when I get back that can apparently have some nasty side effects and can cause some problems of its own, so there is a chance I will be absent for a little while after my trip as well, or at least not as active. But I will make sure to drop by with a little hello now and then, and with any luck I won't be one of those who suffers the nasty side effects too badly. And I will try my best to be around at least enough to make sure ElT's birthday list is sorted.

I hope you all have a lovely few weeks while I am away. I would say try to behave, but it is summer, so you might as well have some fun, so go nuts. But just remember, if you break anything or cause any major problems, then don't panic, just blame it on ElT and you are good to go. :-)

Oh, and since he has been sighted in here again, can you all please give Soccorro the Carrot a big +1 for his wonderful kindness. Thank you.

Take care, everyone. Have a nice rest of the day and I will see you all in a week or so.

*lots of hugs and waves*

While I am a away, please think up a list of games for your birthday list and send them to my chat for when I come back (don't worry, you can change it later if needed before I get it and send it out, it just saves me some time getting your list when I am back in case I am not online as much). Thank you.

Hey DD *big hug*
I hope you'll be having a great trip :)
Also hope that you won't get that nasty side effects of the new treatment. Take care too :)

Concerning the birthday list. I'll send you one :)
Morning all, hope everyone is Okee-Dokee Fine today. My first day off and I have a sick stomach, wouldn't you know. ;-)
Oh well, it'll get better and I'm close to the bathroom so all is good.
*hugs, waves, pink stuff*

Urf +__+ ... That's no fun. And the pink stuff isn't particularly yummy either. I hope it gets better quickly.

Ah, yeah. Starting to believe what is said about the present-day EA :)
Thanks for the info on DA:I, from what you said it sounds more fun :)
