I know how you feel.   I have to have a plan or I start to feel lost and overwhelmed by it.

So, if you love the games you'll probably want to play more than once.  Create 2 or 3 very different types of character with different romances and ideals, faith and race etc.

Then for each one pick 4 or 5 zones NOT to do.  Don't bother with collectables.

So my first character didn't do Hissing Wastes, Emprise du Lion, Exalted Plains, another one I can't remember, and she only went to Crestwood to get the Warden, then ran out and never went back.

Now my new character can do those zones as fresh new content, but miss Forbidden Oasis, Storm Coast, most of the Hinterlands, Fallow Marsh, Emerald Graves etc.

Then I did one zone at a time so I could immerse myself in the stories there.  

Don't do more than an hour of open world, maybe even 50 minutes, then go back to base and chat to a few ppl to take a break.  Do a couple of dialogue branches with folks, like asking Varric about Hawke for example.  Then go back and do another hour of open world questing, then head back and do a major quest.

That rhythm got me through first time no problem, I was still a high enough level to beat Cory.

That might help.

Have you guys read this?  https://www.glassdoo...iews-E22998.htm

Depressing.

That was painful.  I love Garrus to bits but I had to click James as my favourite crew member in ME3.    

Now I feel guilty.  If there was a second favourite category then I could've shown Kasumi some love...it's like picking your favourite kid. 

Anyway, I'd like a PM when the results are in please, very interesting survey Silvery.

Just watched the DA survey video, surprised by a lot of those results tbh.  So few got the Exiled Prince (don't blame them) and are not interested in multiplayer...neither am I but I thought it would be more popular with others.  Have you tweeted it to some ppl over at BioWare?  

Done but there's something odd: Is there a romance with James Vega? I don't think so but he appears in the list.

You can in the Citadel DLC

Thanks!

Where the **** is Zip on the new forum?

He said it at the twitter thread?

You can also use the tabs at the top to see the members.  That way you can keep an eye on who went where.

Having never used a forum other than this one before I'll say this...really not keen on the shoutbox. 

People, Hrungr is on Cyonan's board.

Really?  YAY!!

Maybe one day I'll be someone ppl look out for like that... *goes off into a daydream*

Call me horrible, but those are all people I can live without.....

I'm put off by Haneko being a mod.  He/she always seems to have PMS and loves raining on ppl's parade.  When they quote me I'm hesitant to read it in case I get told off.

EDIT:  Okay so I've barely slept in 3 days as I'm sick and it's leading me to be a little too...honest about ppl.

I need to shut the hell up, it'll come back and bite me in the ass. 

Honestly I think I'm allergic to timers.  As soon as I see one I get super stressed and think 'oh god oh god oh god oh god' and make stupid choices.  So nope, no thanks.  Let me chill.  

>_>; .... I just read.

 

Edit : I'm following you

You're that guy in the bushes over there????  

Ahhhmahgod *run away run away*

If Remix General Aetis is a mod on Cassandra's, I'm definitely not going there.

He's posting in the shoutbox about smacking trolls and sorting ppl out.  Puts me off tbh.

Might be a bug.  Try watching the fight on Youtube and seeing how it progresses, then spot the difference.

First time round the fires chase you, you turn off all 4 statues then he teleports over to you and you fight.  Then when he's at half health he goes back to the middle and puts rocks in the room.  Turn off all 4 statues, he teleports over and you fight.  At a quarter health he goes back to the middle and unleashes lightning and ice in the room.  Then you do the statues again, he fights you again, and dies.

Even though Cyonan and her clique have been rude to certain people on this forum, I'm thinking of going to 

Spoiler

http://bsn.boards.net/

That was like a freaking drum roll.  

Yeah I saw that one, didn't know they were rude too.  Urgh.  I'll join later, yay, another one to jump too and say the occasional thing.

It's gonna be a confusing month.  Perhaps it's better to stay out of it all until September. 

Well, I noticed he sometimes says crazy stuff, yes. And I also saw he is now a mod on the UBSN ... hum.... I don't feel super confortable with this choice.....

As I said Scarlett, eggs and baskets.  Then if it all hits the fan you still have a home somewhere else, and if you've contributed to it you've made your face known and are already a part of it's community.

I'm still deciding on which one to join.

I joined all of them.  Time will tell, I'm writing in them all and will slowly narrow it down.  I think it'll be impossible to tell until BSN shuts down though.

https://realdragonagefans.forums.net is very friendly.  Quite DA oriented though.

http://fextralife.com/forums/f95/ has the best pedigree with 800,000 users, a more pro layout and an established team running it.  That all makes me feel better about the experience compared to the others, but not many ppl are over there sadly.

Reddit is reddit.  I'm giving it a go, but it's not the same.  Just let me know where you land, there are maybe a dozen ppl on here I'll actually make an effort to follow.  You're one of them.

This?

 

<snip>

Good God...where's the eye bleach???

just do what you think beyonce would want you to do

Skin an animal, wear it, shake our booties then not give a ****?  Eh.  Nah I'm good.

Yep, he's my regular itchy ***hole here. 

Lmao!

Not just me then, good good.  I was saying how hesitant I was about uBSN because of all the bad stuff being said about Cassandra, and he goes off saying we're bullies yadda yadda yadda.

I'm sorry, but when a whole bunch of ppl, many of them perfectly sane and trustworthy, say that in the past Cass caused a lot of **** on here, I pay attention.  It's called being a grown up and being cautious.  But apparently I'm a terrible person for not giving her a chance.

All I'm saying is caution, ppl.  If everyone flocks to one site that then implodes in a few months, the 'community' won't survive it.  Eggs.  Baskets.  Right?

Oh, and the fact that many of the ME:A s.o.b.s have gone there is putting me off tbh.  It's looking like 'ME:A threads, the forum edition'.  Hope I'm wrong about that though.  Still gonna contribute and try it out.

It's too early.  They need to settle down then we can all see which forum layouts we like the best, and which ones get the most activity.

I've joined them all, and will decide probably when BSN goes down.  Until then I'm checking and contributing to all of them and trying not to make a hasty decision.  I admit, the layout and format of many of them is driving me crazy tho.

No, it's what Cullen says in the war table. Copied it word for word from the subtitles.

What I meant was, if you're playing with a female IQ then he'd say 'she' and then you'd know he meant the IQ specifically.

Doubt it's the IQ, it would limit RP.  Is there a version using 'she' instead of 'he'?

Must be an agent, or perhaps a leader like Gaspard.

Is that a typo, Cullent, or don't you like him.

Another one?  Oy vey. 

Okay, I'll sign up.  My take on all this is that I'll try them all out, then slowly gravitate to the ones with the best user experience/security balanced with who I want to chat with.  May as well try every damn one.  Only time is going to tell...

140 characters?   Okay.

Even I, one of BioWare's biggest fangirls, can't justify this awful decision. Therefore to whoever made this decision would you kindly go fu

Hmm.  Decide to drop in on this thread after a day...and it's moved onto genocide.  Ooohhhkay.

Retake BSN??  Is this like when we took back the Normandy?  Cause I don't think I have a fancy enough toothbrush...
