Life of a Rogue Champion in training, part 1 runing,swimming and digging



So I leave the Warden behind, I do not have the patience of dealing with origins combat system to deal with Awakening and Witch Hunt DLC, plus out of the 20 or so points that get transferred over when a import is done i did like 14 of them, so I am fine not doing the rest. So no we go back in time some, to when the Blight was destroying the town of Lothering. This time I am trying to Platinum the game, so I will be making choices I am not used to, and being very very detailed to make sure I find all the tiny miss able crap, then having 2 save files for the 3rd act, one for the trophy..then using both or maybe carry onto Dragon Age 2. This time I think it will b easier given all the DLC item packs I have so I am way buffe rat the beginning and I can save money making everything easier.

Now I love the Rogue in 2 over Origins, they are fater and back stab is a skill and not circling around the a=target, plus you can crit with out being behind them, there is alos the wonder of not having to level up your dual weapon skills, you just learn dual wield and thats it you rock at it. I also enjoy the mages in 2, and dislike warrior across the board, but since I like to dis arm traps..plus crazy speed, I am going to be a rogue. And since I like looking hot while I am saving the city and killing everything that moves, I go with a female Hawke, but the standard like 2nd preset, damn those blue eyes. Plus I choose Rogue because I know which sibling will die..and I fucking hate Carver..I smile everytime the Ogre crushes his spine.

Anyway, I meet up with Aveline and then Flemeth before The Warden killed her, and was sent along my way to Kirkwall, and this is when it starts all going to hell, since my Uncle Douchebag had spent all of our money, so I ally up with some shady characters and get into Kirkwall, while I am slaving away, the Warden saves the world from the blight. Now a tear later..

I run into Varric, and sign up for some crazy mission to go back to the Deep Roads, I despise the Deep Roads the only thing more is the fucking Fade..Now on the quest to get money to g to the Deep Roads to find more money. Along the way I meet a crazy set of friends, since I choose to go with speed and control in my team, my team ended up being Me--Varric---Merrill(favoring thunder magic)-Isabela. Getting money wasn't to hard..and I choose to not take Bethany into the Deep Roads, so she didn't become a Grey Warden..But I did take Anders into the Deep Roads, because the boss there is kinda hard, but I didn't need his help this time...It was easy and I kicked the guys ass..got my riches and lfeft the deep roads..

Next time, Life of a Rogue Champion in training, living the high life

From Feredeln to Kirkwall




So now that I have stopped the Blight, saved the land of Fereleden, had hot lesbian sex with a red headed bard, what am I going to do now..? Write about I become the Champion of Kirkwall, with a complete import save, and how I finally Platinum Dragon Age 2.

Seriously my own complaints with Dragon Age Origins are the combat and the skill build systems, Dragon age 2 did those perfectly, if you take 2's combat and skill system and put them into origins game, it would literally be the perfect game.

So stay tuned for a Life of a Rogue to be Champion in Kirkwall..that title will change.

Life of a Dual Blader in Fereleden part 4, pushing to the end






Now that I am out of Orzammer and at the Landsmeet. SO Now I need to get people on my side to take down Loghain and choose who is really going to rule Fereleden, and oh yah beat the Arch Demon aka Big Fucking Dragon. 

But before I can do that, I went to do Morrigans special quest and kill Flemeth, I switched out Morrigan for Shayle as a tank, then set to work. Well after getting my ass half handed to me, I took Flemeth out, she wasn't as harder as the other High Dragon that I fought, but we know that wasn't the true end of Flemeth.


So I am told that I need to rush to the Arl of Denerim's estate to save Anora aka Loghains Daughter, so I can get her help to win the Landsmeet, or even make her Queen of all the land. While inside the Estate I find prisoners who are some how related to important Senator type people, so that can help get people on my side. Also while in the Estate I run into Arl Howe..the bastard who killed my parents and screwed everything all to hell, so of course I enjoied stabbing him in the heart and setting Anora free. While trying to leave I was caught along with Alistar and thrown into a huge Fort.


Now Leliana and Morrigan lied..bluffed and distracted them selves in to save me and Alistar, then we re arm and fight our way out kinda killing everyone as we do, and back to the Estate. Where we learn of shit going down in the Elven Alienage to find the unrest there.


In the Alienage, I quickly learned it was a total scam from the Tevinter Imperium trying to cure some plague, and it was just about a elven slave trade, so of course I broke that up, and found proof that Loghain was involved in the whole thing, there was also something about an orphanage that was consumed by a rage demon sadly a semi bad ass blind Templar had to die so I could finish that run. Again full of Ammo we go to the landsmeet.

At the Landsmeet I bardged in and was confronted by Loghain, were the whole decision was to be settled on a duel to the finish, f course I choose my self over my friends, after quickly Loghain was easily defeated..Now do I spare him, turn him into a Grey Warden, or just kill the fuck. Well this guy had done everything to try and take me out, and screwed up the whole Kingdom..so death awaited him but I let Alistar  kill him given that Loghain killed Alistars father,  well now I couldn't get Anora on my side as Queen of the whole kindgom, well fuck her she is crazy anyway, so Alistar is now king. Now we march to RedCliff to rally the troops and smash the Blight.

Now during the night a fellow Grey Warden tells us that only a Warden and kill the Arch Demon since the evil of the ArchDemon jumps to the closest thing with Darkspawn blood and then kills it and it's self. Hence why the Warden, so Morrigan purposed an idea so no one had to die, one of the Warden have sex with her to create a baby with darkspawn blood taint, then the Arch Demons mojo will jump to the baby, so I convinced Alistar to sleep with Morrigan and make this baby, WooHoo everyone lives. Now to the final battle!!

Back to Denerim, I choose my team to help me..and to defend the gate, said my goodbyes and ran around Denerim saving people and killing Dark Spawn generals to make my life easier in the final battle. When I reach the Arch Demon, the battle was seriously easy, like I am not joking!!! The damn Circle Of Mage in the Fade shit was harder than the final battle!!! With a final kick ass cut scene the Arch Demon was dead, I wasn't and peace is saved to Fereleden. I said I would go travelng the n probably rebuild the Wardens.

Now Did I play Awakening or Mage hunt..Now I couldn't deal with Origins battle system for 20+ more hours, but I had a completed import file to take to Dragon Age 2, stay tuned for the Life of  a Rogue to be Champion in kirkwall!!!

Life of a Dual Blader in Fereleden part 3, wandering around in a big hole

So back to Orzammar I go, along the way I break Alistar's heart because he was like,"oh your cute" and yah I shot him down to stay with my bard Leliana, so anyway back under ground I go. I switched out Alistar for Shale this time, because mostly of flavor text and being able to find quests later.


So Orzammer is kinda hue and unlike Denerim, which has a jump map to get around, I just get to run around with the Dwarfs, picking up different types of side quests and picking sides in the great dwarf power play between some guy named Harrowmont and Bhelen Aeducan, well I did some looking into  since it had been a while since I played as another character race/background. Bhelen Aeducan is your brother is you Choose the Noble Dwarf starting set up, so I wa slike FUCK THAT CUY and picked Harrowmont right away.

Now after  going through some fighting tourny and running around under ground defeating some mob boss still cartel to make Harrowmont look better, then I was told to go find this Paragon Branka in the Deep Road..fuck me I hate wandering around in the Deep Roads not as bad as the Circle of Magi but still as bad. Mostly because it is FUCKING HUGE!!and I got lost ones or twice.

So this time in the Deep Road everyone had gone crazy, one of the guys I had to find for a quest had gone crazy and not wanted to go back and see his mother. Then I ran into the remains of the Paragon, who was I to find, had gone crazy!! Like chanting poems crazy, one had turned into a "BroodMother" which just pops out dark spawn..big blob tentacle thing.

Then I ran into Caradin who created the Anvil of the Void, and the Paragon Branka who had also gone crazy while looking for the void. Well Branka sent all of her family and solders to die, so yah Caradin was who I I sided with, so I killed crazy Branka. Afterwards I went back to Orzammar and gave this super golden crown to Harrowmont, and then with a lot of joy in my heart I killed Bhelen.

After leaving Orzammar, I went off to Red liff and talked to the Arl, to begin the Landsmeet..

Bioshock.it's an under the sea party..that I was late to



So I picked up the first Bioshock on STEAM for their Halloween sale, for like 5$. Now for those who have a system newer than a Windows XP system, expect a ton of fucking problems to get it working. Dealing with graphic driver issues, dealing with direct X issues, setting with skipping loading opitions. So after fighting with all of that for like 5 hours..I finally got it all to work.

This is a first person FPS that says it is an RPG, trust me there is no RPG elements in this game..you don't level up, no equips. So I don't know what is going on with the RPG, but trust me it is not there. With the difficultly is just all out of whack, the Easy mode is way to easy and Normal mode is harder than normal..so the curve is all off.

 Your going along you pick up lots of different weapons, the most interesting is a cross bow. Along with different types of Ammo: armor pierces, anti personal and cool types of arrows.

Now the big thing is the Plasmids, which basically give you magical powers: throwing lighting, setting things on fire, make clones--stuff like that.  You also pick on passive tonics that make your skills for combat, health and hacking amoung many other things better. Now to MOD your self, you need Adam which you get from these little Zombie Girl called Little Sisters, who are guarded by Big Daddies those big robots with fish bowl heads and drills.

Now hacking, you can hack security camera, flying security bots so they work for your side. But how do you hack, remember that plumbing game from Windows 95, yah it's that but even worse. So the can get maddening even more so towards the end when the water flowing just blasts along and then you get shocked or you get security bots attacking you.

So you are this poor bastard who is in a plane crash, and you end up in this futuristic 1960 world that has all gone to hell, and it is your mission to save the remaining people in this city. And then it turns out that you were under some kind of mind control, seriously it was all a thinly vied plot.

Was the game good, yes. It is a very pretty game that might scare you if you spooky easily. But it was worth the money I spent on it, even though I beat it in two days. It was a good play, but I have heard that the 2nd game kinda sucked a lot, but if it goes on 5$ sale I might pick it up.

Sonic Generations Demo #2



So I played the 2nd demo for this game, this time it was modern Sonic running through green hill zone.

I seem to be one of the few not impressed by this game, seriously my favorite Sonic was Battle 2. I see no reason why Sega needed to break temporal law to bring these two version together.

Green Hill Zone played my Modern Sonic was just rushing by to fast, the scenery was beatiful, but I couldn't enjoy it since I was blasting ahead at top speed, so fast that I was missing jumps and turns and coins.

Once again we have anotjher attempt for Sega to try something new, and in my opinion it is just failing to meet the mark, Sonic games have gone down hill since Battle 2.

Anyway I love demos of games, they save me the money of having to actually by the real game.

The life of a Dual-Wielding Warriorr in Ferelden , Part 2 maybe








So when we last left Elissa, I had just killed the son of the Arl of Red Cliff, but I still had to save Him, so I was off to find the Urn of Scared Ashes, aka the ashes of Andraste. So off to Denerim I go to find this Genitivi guy, which lead me to the other side of the  Ferelden map to a city called Haven.

So Haven seemed all sort of shady dealings going on, they told me there was nothing to see there, just to trade for goods and to get out, so at the store I wanted to go to the back room because well I am the Hero of this story and I can do that, but of course the Store runner guy tried to stop me then I had to kill him, went to the back and saw a knight from Red Cliff castle dead, and had one of those, "Oh fuck, it's all going to go to hell how" moments..Which is did as I was attacked by the entire city of Haven since they were crazy cult followers..

SO off into the mountains I go, killing more cultists along the way..a long the way I run into Dragons/Drakes..dragons with  wings..easily dispatched. As I am wandering the caves, I run into this cult leader who tells me Andraste is reborn and is a Dragon, who then tells me I can drop dragons blood into the Urn and everything will be cool, also if I do this I can earn the 'Reaver" specialization.

But I knew that with my party of Aliaster, Morrigan, and Leliana..screwing with Andraste would be a very bad idea, so before doing this I did some research and saw I I  could buy the manuals for learning the Reaver specialization in Dragon Age Awakening, and once learned i Will always have it, so i played Awakening for like 2 hours, got the manual for that and blood magic, and by random learned Champion from my starting team mate in Awakening, which I would of gotten anyway from the Arl, when he was revived..but anyway so of course I choose not to fuck with the Urn and killed the main Cult leader.

When I leave the maze of caves, I see a High Dragon..big fucking Dragon which I know I have to defeat to move on..I could do it later or right away..So I choose right away and once again with not to much trouble the dragon is dead. Now into the final chamber which is full of riddles, which I cheated on since I am never good at those, and a moving tile making the bridge block puzzle. Then got naked..walked through some fire and got the ashes.

Back at Red Cliff I tell the kid I killed is son..sentence the Blood Mage that caused all of it to death, mostly by accident, those choices need better explanation some times, now it was off to Orzammer, but once again did some more research and realized that my companian Shale would do really good in Oezammer so I think I am going to do an about face and go get my Golem friend..

Stay tuned for more of Elissa adventures..
