So now Canada are going to be in the Eurovision Song Contest, I suspect @amypisces.bsky.social and her other half are going to be having much of a friendly rivalry.

If Richard Garriott can get the Ultima rights back from EA, then @ghildirthalen.bsky.social can get the Dragon Age rights. They must be worth about a $1 by now, right?

Is it the Ferelden throne or the Fereldan throne? People from Ferelden are Fereldans, so it kind of makes sense it'd be the Fereldan throne but now I'm confused.

@amypisces.bsky.social I had to tag you in this. Apologies.

Oghren is just there in Awakening. He serves no purpose to the story. Why couldn't we have Mhairi instead? I realise the ruse and shock value of Mhairi was interesting but having to put up with Oghren just being there wasn't it.

There's a guard in Kirkwall's Docks who talks about an elf woman with short blonde hair who maybe a blood mage and I'm struggling to think who this is.

I do find it amusing when you meet Wynne in Dragon Age: Awakening with Oghren tagging along and neither Wynne nor Oghren even comment on each other. It's like they never met each other.

I'm getting "Message from server: Upstream server responded with a 503 error" in Firefox on my laptop and I can't see any Tweets. I can see Notifications still, though. Not tried it yet on my 'phone. Hopefully this all gets fixed soon.

I find it amusing that because Oghren and Felsi's child hasn't got a canonical gender (they're named after the Warden), Oghren refers to them with "they/them" pronouns in Awakening and it makes Oghren an accidental ally.

The dog collar on the Battledress of the Provocateur (and other light armours that use the same model) always amuses me. I think it's due to the way the head/neck is separate to the body and it creates a weird empty space that needs covering up with a collar/choker.

One day people will actually understand Taash from Dragon Age: The Veilguard's character and why aqun-athlok is not an appropriate term for them to use. One day.

We must never mention the giants in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

There's a guard in Kirkwall's Docks who talks about an elf woman with short blonde hair who maybe a blood mage and I'm struggling to think who this is.

I rarely ever play a mage in DA2 and so I rarely ever get to hear Carver's banter. I forgot he got roasted by Isabela and Hawke for being caught out about visiting the Blooming Rose. I also didn't realise a square chin is a Fereldan thing.

@ghildirthalen.bsky.social put's a Dragon Age Titan Lore video out on 1st April and I'm side-eyeing it. 😀

@mortym.bsky.social no pressure or anything but nobody has 100%'d Crimson Desert on Steam yet.

I thought this was Alyssa Liu.

Kirkwall: no apostates here! Mage Hawke: I'm not a mage, honest. Oh, that thing on my back? That's not a mage staff, honest. Why does Anders have one? He doesn't, it's also not a mage staff. Oh and Merrill? Same. Stop assuming these mage staffs on our backs are mage staffs.

If BioWare can implement PSSR2 for PS5 Pro for DA:TV, then they can port it to Switch 2.

Saw this on YouTube. It's my home town and I'm disappointed that Leliana hasn't rescued me yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQg6...

Oh no, we're so back. This is a random NPC from Solasta II. I best not post this here because I absolutely don't want my Solasmancer moots to see it. Nope. Not posting. Oops.

I somehow never posted my smouldering adonis Carver Hawke from Dragon Age 2.

I played some Dragon Age 2 earlier to honour its 15 year birthday and had a chat with Fenris in his mansion and he was talking about being from Seheron and then it clicked that he was using the exact same speech cadence as Sten when doing so. How did I miss this before?

Corinne Kempa is a VA in Atomfall and I haven't played it yet. Damn, I need my Leliana back.

Nazi supporting paper says what?

I'm mildly disappointed that Safia won't be a romanceable character in GreedFall: The Dying World.

Sorry if I've been quiet. Got a lot going on at the moment (as in, negative stuff that's making me feel fed up).

Oooh Bryony Corrigan (my favourite Rook VA) plays the femme-MC option in GreenFall: The Dying World.

I forgot I did this.

Chuds: "Veilguard looks shit, bro." Me: counterpoint How many games do you know that you can do this in?

Surely @mortym.bsky.social has 100%'d both Nioh 3 and Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined already? 😀 I'm joking. Looking forward to both of those reviews, though.

Someone needs to caption this.

DA:O, not longer after launch (my original has DLC as part of it) in 2009 - 28/29 DA2 probably just after launch but again, my copy has all DLC except Legacy in 2011, so 30/31 DA:I came to this quite late, unsure when, sometime in the early 2020s, iirc - aged 40ish DA:TV in 2024 - aged 44

Ah shit, not Catherine O'Hara. This sucks. Requiescat in pace, Queen.

For any BioWare fans who are curious, @alixwiltonregan.bsky.social stars as Aletta in BBC Radio 4's adaption of Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Also, this classic. Not quite fourth-wall breaking but still iconic. Plus I swear Bellara constantly looks at the "camera" in a fourth-wall breaking way.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Fuck ICE.

I hope Fable makes Americans actually say the word Twat correctly.

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

I see people are being completely normal about Max and Chloe in the recently announced Life Is Strange: Reunion.

Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom

I really struggle to play as a bad or evil character in video games. I don't know how folks (and I mean, decent, nice people) can play Renegade Shepard or a bad-choices Hero of Ferelden, or a Dark Urge. I struggle to even kill natives in Expeditions: Conquistador.

Hey @mortym.bsky.social I hope you'll be covering the forthcoming Avowed update and the Necron DLC for Rogue Trader soon? 😀

I might actually play Avowed now. I usually play stout races and when the game launched with only human and elf options and no dwarves, orlans or aumaua, it was a massive disappointment.

I'm so fucking angry at murder of Renee Good. The right-wing fuckwits who are adamant that poor deceased lady was a domestic terrorist. I hate how America is descending into Fascism and the UK and other nations will likely follow in its bleak and evil shadow.

It turns out it does.

The GoT ending wasn't even that bad. People really just overdid it on the hate.

Does Zohran play Cities: Skylines?

They consider Antifa Ost as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation and not even Germany have done so. The US Justice Department are a joke.
