Dreamwidth invites, random DA2 rambling

Since I know LJ's recent flakiness has increased the interest: I have a bunch of Dreamwidth invites if anyone wants one. PM me your email address. Archiving your old entries and crossposting to lj is relatively painless if like me you don't want to switch entirely, though you should wait until LJ's current wave of flakiness stops before importing.

I'm playing Dragon Age 2 for the third time and enjoying it more than I thought I would. The plot really is pretty railroady with most "important" decisions (especially early on) having only an illusion of choice, but with a sufficiently different personality the experience still feels fairly fresh. Rowan is a sensible devoutly moral pro-Templar female warrior, as a contrast to Stefan the good natured wishy-washily pro-mage-freedom male rogue and May the aggressive snarky amoral female mage.

The "Taunt enemies to come closer, make them explode with Holy Smite" warrior technique is nearly as much fun as making fireballs rain down from the sky as a mage :D
