I hope it's obvious that I am merely teasing when I joke about dwarves and Couslands and all that. I don't mind that Couslands get the wedding -- I would have been somewhat hurt if Alistair actually proposed to the Cousland because his love towards all origins should be equal. I like that the Cousland makes this happen and Alistair goes with the flow. I like that King Alistair treats his mistresses the same as he treats his queen. I have played a dwarf for like eight years now in various games -- I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, don't feel pressured to play a dwarf or elf or gnome or goblin or whatever is outside of your comfort zone. It's just gaaaaame. =pyukidama wrote...
*shrug* I like the Cousland origin. To be honest the main reason I played it is because I wanted to play a human rogue. My first game was an elf mage but her file got corrupted so I never got to finish her. When I played those times I didn't even know about the whole breakup scenario, much less aware of all the superiority complexes or hatred over it until after I had finished 2 HN runs and a mage. *shrug* So I think my enjoyment of my playthroughs prior to finding out just what sort of wankery and idiocy goes on regarding them has overshadowed any resentment. It's your game you play it however you want and I'll play it however I want.
I don't understand why one group has to act like they are somehow better for preferring to play one origin or why one group sees another as spoiled brats for the same reason. It's all a choice. You weren't born a Cousland or a Dalish elf or an Aeducan. You chose to play one. For example, my first inclination was not to play a dwarf. I've gone through about 5 full runs without playing a dwarf past Ostagar. But I am trying now, because I want to get all perspectives and maybe I'll enjoy it and get over my hatred of Orzammar (being underground/confined spaces scares me). But it seems people get stuck firmly in one camp or the other and miss out on a lot of cool stuff because of it.
Their loss. I'm not gonna bother getting upset or annoyed on the internet because someone doesn't like or doesn't want to play my favorite origin or romance my favorite LI.
Complaining about Couslands = being one of the stepsisters at the ball watching the prince dance with someone else.
Haha, no, this wasn't directed at anyone in particular. It's more about the whole us-vs-them superiority BS I've seen around the forums and the fandom in general. I actually like to play elves a lot more than humans, I've found, since in the DA world I find myself relating to them more just from a personal standpoint. What I like about the game is having those options. In their world it doesn't work to have a non-HN be able to take the throne along with whoever you select as monarch. So, for a non-HN character I'll go this route and then if I really want to put my character on the throne I'll just make a HN character that I like. If you hate your own character simply because of their origin, well, that's your loss. Your character isn't forced to be any one way so you have the freedom to do pretty much whatever within the constraints of the game. Sure, it may suck that you prefer to play one origin but like the ending for another better, but there are limits *shrug* It's a lot more choice than you get with other games, where you're forced to play as one character who acts one way and falls in love with one character that you may or may not despise.
Haha, I'm not forcing myself to play a dwarf, I am legitimately curious. And as for being the stepsisters.... well, all my 'stepsister' characters have kept their prince and had more fun doing so, I think
Cinderella can go screw herself, in their instances. Not that being Cinderella doesn't have its benefits, of course.
Retour en haut
. I don't label myself as a good writer actually, and i still make mistakes here and there, but I have become gradually better in both writing itself and the english language. Also it's too much fun for me to let it pass.
The dialogue options almost killed me!
