I honestly laughed-out-loud when I read this. I haven't played mass effect 1/2 so its new for me, but its nice to get a fake mail that doesn't end with an assians blade (which is a commonly used rpg trope)

I smirked when I saw the letters and read them for amusement. Cheer up.

I thought it was funny, not in a real ROFL way, but in a chuckle, read, move on.  It's just a little touch.

And swindlers have been with us since Ogg told Ugg about the great deal he had on a mastodon carcass, but he just needed an elk as collateral.

In the United States after the Civil War, a guide to New York City estimated that more than 2,000 “swindling establishments” were using the postal system, Mr. Henkin writes in “The Postal Age: The Emergence of Modern Communications in 19th-Century America” (2006).
These operators sent out “tens of thousands of solicitations and at minimal expense,” he writes. “Even a small percentage of replies from eager victims remitting a dollar or just a postage stamp could translate into a major windfall.” (Unused stamps could be resold or used in the next mailing and sometimes functioned as currency, he says.)

And I know Elizabethan England at least was rife with confidence men (called "Coney Catchers", "coney" being slang for a victim)

Dragon age does have the printing press. Avaline mentions taking away Varrics blocks in one of their conversations.

Errr... considering the world of DA is the equivalent of Mediaval Europe I highly doubt it, unless they are on the verge of a Renaissance.

Spam fried rice is pretty awesome, not gonna lie.

I found it amusing and considered it a nice shout out to those that've played ME. People get annoyed and offended by the weirdest things.

What got me the most about this letter is, unlike the other flavor messages, it has an ACCEPT button, and not a READ one.

What exactly am I accepting?
Was that another oops, BioWare?

I man giggled at the letter.

Penis jokes will ALWAYS be funny.

i laughed. first i wondered "starkhaven prince? but i don't know anyone by that name ... wait a minute, i know this" and then it hit me and i just laughed at the idea of spawn in medieval fantasy setting and then moved on.

Or one could have a sense of humor about medieval spam.

 People didn't enjoy this? Are you kidding me?

Sure, it's out of place for a medieval game, but a sense of humour shouldn't be out of place in a gamer's living space. Dragon Age isn't a completely serious game anyway. I loved the spam messages - they're a little perk.

You'd be surprised how many letters to nobles/royalty survive offering their services to everything from impotence to nightmares, to gout.

Jokes about enhancing the size of one's member or keeping it up longer never get old. Why? Because the desire to be bigger and last longer is part of human nature. You can see these types of ointments and treatments popping up in ancient India, China, and Egypt.

I fail to see the logic in such a letter being sent to an estate comprised entirely of women unless...
