Let's see...



I think I have managed to do almost everything listed in this topic.



-Played 15 hours straight saturday. Butt was numb, but well worth it.

-Dream about various fights and scenes...and am upset when regular dreams get in the way.

-Reloaded multiple times to get my happy(ier?) ending with Alistair...and was REALLY upset that I had to make him sleep with Morrigan

-Reloaded anytime I lost favour with party members...yes, especially Alistair

-Sat and agonized over decisions

-Husband came home from a trip, and I ignored him to finish my game.

-Started all over again.



I'm going to need therapy.

I've never understood what women see in Alistair...he's the personification of the guy you have come up to you in a bar and firing off the lamest snappy opening lines that have been on Two and a Half Men for a very good reason...

His jokes are lame...
He thinks he knows right from wrong...(KILL THE BLOOD MAGE!) (Let the murderer go free...) right...

He's a templar in game but the lore behind him clearly says that he FAILS as a templar...he's not only an idiot with sucky humor, he sucks in fights too!!! Cleanse Aura hurrah!!!

I personally found his humor charming and witty, and the way he used it as a deflection for answering questions adorable.  He was goofy and cute, and my thoughts that he could be something far more than the puppy he seemed to be at the time were proven true after I backed him for King and watched him speak to his people in front of the last stand at Denerim. 

And he didn't fail at being a Templar, in fact if you read his dialog it's said he was quite good at the martial training, but terrible when it came to religious devotion and obeying authority.  He was miserable there, and Duncan conscripted him because of that and because his skills as a Templar would be useful in hunting Darkspawn.

*cough* Aaand.. back on topic.

The best therapy you can get for your DA addiction is to read David Gaider's novels about Dragon Age.

It'll get you off the game until your finish reading them.

Wishing that you could have more cutscene moments with Alistair, mainly more sexytime ones. >>;

I am ashamed, rofl.

Edit: Oh and using Fraps to record certain scenes with Alistair after restarting your entire finished game over just for the purpose of recording said scenes.... yes I did that, lol. x.x He's so sweet and romantic, back off me. xD

I have done all of these. When choosing on who should be on the throne, I had to pause the game for 5 minutes. I knew I didn't want Alistair because he didn't want it, but I kinda wanted to pick him anyways.

I know I'll be stumped this time around too because I have a romance with him and I'm an elf. Unfortunately I can't get to marry him. Oh well, there is always my Zev.

Also, in my second play through I feel like I'm cheating on Zevran.

Playing the game again just to have revenge on Alistair for dumping you because he can't have a child with you.....and also not even standing up to be a man when you say you will sacrafice yourself to slay the archdemon!!!! As much as he supposedly loved you wouldn't it not matter if Grey Wardens cant have children together and wouldnt he protest your dying and offer to be the hero??? I have never played a game that actually makes me laugh, cry, and feel hurt anger towards an npc!!!

You know your obsessed when you log onto the forums at work when you have a spare moment, just because you can't play the game until you get home. Also when you spend hours wondering if your Dalish elf did the right thing falling for Alistair- I suspect it doesn't end well- don't tell me I still have Orzammar to complete before Landsmeet.

Ahem, well I can at least tell you that the possibility of happiness exists if you do certain things a certain way, heh. Maybe that will give you hope..

Well, my signs of obsession:

-I stayed up 24 hours+ starting Saturday to reach the ending.
-Reloading and constantly trying different options after Anora's rescue, specifically so I could get a happy ending with Alistair
-Getting a bit sniffly/weepy over the character's speeches at the gates of Denerim
-Getting a bit sniffly/weepy over Alistair during the sad ending(s)
-Replaying that gates of Denerim scene after selecting party members for the final assault (because of Alistair's response when you choose "I love you, Alistair." *swoon* - err, that's only if you're headed towards the path of the happy ending though)
-Replaying the coronation ceremony (also largely because of Alistair)
-Ummm, replaying lots of scenes involving Alistair
-Reloading to finish sidequests to get that silly "Easily Sidetracked" achievement
-Hoping to hear new banter between Alistair and other party members

Okay, maybe I'm more obsessed with Alistair than anything else per se, but umm...OTHER WOMEN ARE TOO! 

-Oops, I should add: writing this while I should be working, but technically I'm moving a document over to my work server, so I think I'm allowed (I telecommute anyway, muahahaha).

God, it's the same for me

That's strange because he do said to my PC he doesn't if they can't have children and just wanna live together O_o I though I read some people saying Alistair choosen to die a your place too.

I let him be King so he needed an heir to the throne, he broke up right after the landsmeet

[Acemath]

Haha,you guys/girls kill me ...

I'm wondering if there ever was a game that had the same impact on people?I know the Witcher also had different ways to approach something,but DA:O takes it to another level of Godness

[Thor Rand Al]

I gotta say if I was BioWare n reading these particular posts I would definitely be damned proud of what I accomplished. I've played a lot of games like these (Morrowind, Oblivion, Divine Divinity, Beyond Divinity, NWN 1&2, Fable etc) n by far this is definitely the most in depth game as far as feeling, comedy, action etc that I've ever played. An emotional rollercoaster that sucks you in n keeps you in.

~ When your husband's xbox has a critical hardware failure, and he reclaims "yours", ie, the "back up xbox" so he can keep playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (to be fair, until DA:O came out, I hardly ever used it), you decide to round up the old gamecube and every game or accessory you ever purchased for it, take it in to Game Stop and thrust two boxes of Stuff onto the beleagured employee who happened to ask to help you, all so you can use the trade credit (nearly $100 worth, as it turns out) to get your own xbox, and keep playing the game for the 3-4 weeks that MS will take to repair what will now be "the back up xbox".

This one is priceless.

I must admit, I've done similarly desperate things to get the things I'm obsessed with to work. The most recent being for this game:

I showed up 15 minutes early (before Gamestop opened) to sit in my car to make sure I could get in right away. I rush home with my newly acquired copy of the game and immediately try to install. What happened? I found out that I had a defunk DVD ROM.

Wait a second... I knew this months ago! How'd I forget? Oh yeah, I'd been dealing with direct digital downloads and hadn't needed the actual tray for months now. So then I asked myself "am I really willing to buy a brand new one for the sole purpose of getting DA:O to install?"

Well, that question lingered in my mind for approximately .5 seconds, at which point I dashed back to my car, flew to Best Buy and bought a new external DVD ROM. Rushed back and began installing the game, all the while fidgetting over the "time I'd wasted" running around trying to get things to work.

I hear you loud and clear on the being too invested.

[BlackLotus30]

When your on lunch break at work and can't play DA: O (for obvious reasons), you go on http://www.fanfiction.net/ and check how many fanfic of DA is being published each day and you can answer.

And checking Aimo's deviantart page for more Alistair art

(about 6 new fanfic a day)

I think I got all but the last one Cause I play on PC and have no husband >.>

[ReubenLiew]

It's been like 4 days and I can't keep my mind off it up until the point I'm here at 3.30 am typing this instead of doing my uni work 12 hours ago.



I am truly ashamed of my emotional investment in this game, but part of me tells me to shut the hell up and go look for more vids on hilarious interactions between pcs that I've missed.



And after knowing the ending I really can't bring myself to go through all 50 hours of the game again. Once was enough.

[ricecows]

With my elf, whom was neutral good, I often ended up disappointing one of the people in my party (as I had Dog, Shale and Morrigan in my party), and I felt sorry in real life when they got angry with me. And when Leliana thought I was playing with her, while my PC was with Morrigan, I wanted to apologize sincerely.
Sometimes I even said something completely out of the way my character used to act, just so I could score points with Morrigan.


And now, on my chaotic neutral arcane warrior/blood mage human, I really feel joy, when the NPCs appear to be surprised by my actions, usually when I for a long period sound reasonable when talking to a person, and then end up killing them, just because I got bored with the conversation.

When Morrigan broke up with my character I actually felt similiar to when a real girlfriend broke up with me.

I hear you. That **** had me confused, because she said one thing even though she had feelings for me. Not sure if I'm talking about Morrigan or my ex.

You started planning out your next play throughs before you finished with your first one.

So Wardens can't have Children? What's really surprising me is that if your character is female she doesn't become a broodmother after so many years.



I wonder does Alistair still break up with you if you're a dalish Elf? Also What would and F. Dalish Elf with Zeveran relationship look like?

[TuringPoint]

I've spent maybe 150 hours playing this game since release. I still don't want to stop playing. I want to retry my first character, all 50+ hours, simply because I want to make even more of the character, and put to use what I've learned about the game mechanics properly.



The characters had unexpected effects on me. They drove me to respond to them, to desire their companionship, to be disgusted or annoyed by them, to want them put to justice, to completely become my character. Your family in the human noble origin is so dear, the extended family of your alienage believes in you so completely that they insist on putting down their lives to defend their homes when they know you, their hero, are with them. If you do "the ultimate sacrifice," the ending of the game, the epilogue, is even more satisfying than when you don't die.



I burn to continue the stories of my dwarven noble and dwarven commoner, my mage, and then to play every origin again as a different gender, exploring different types of personality.



The ending was satisfying, only incomplete in that I wanted to keep playing and playing. I want to face more villains and find more friends, I want to develop further romantic relationships.



I get sad knowing my human noble can do nothing to help those in the alienage.



I was looking forward to this game. The excellence of no other game prepared me for the quality of this game.

[Damotta]

So Does Alistair still break up with you if You're a Dalish Elf? Also Has anyone go after Zeveran as an Elf? Prolong the elven line persay?

I'm half surprised the Female P/C's don't turn in Broodmothers if the live through the end.

Oh! and would alistair still leave if you allow Logain to live if he's +100 approval of you? I mean it'd be convinent. Let Logain slay the Arch Deamon while Alistair and I run off into the sunset to Rule his kingdom together lol.

My husband actually had the gall to say to me "We're NOT buying a third xbox!" - at first.  Which is all well and good when he gets to keep playing HIS new game whenever he wants.  Trading in the gamecube was my way of convincing him - see, it's not spending quite so much money.

-You actually have written fanfiction, even though nothing else you have read, watched, heard, or played had ever inspired you to write anything before.

-You are deathly afraid of large empty rooms

-You keep pressing the F5 key in your other games, even when it doesn't actually do anything

-You actually consider playing the same origin again to find what you missed out on

-You have to force yourself to endure a waiting period between playthroughs

-You spend more time at work browsing these forums than doing work

[TuringPoint]

The grey warden taint is a little different than the taint given to those who become broodmothers.



I also don't think the epilogue covers what happens that far in the future, 30+ years or more. It does say it's not the last Thedas will see of the hero, if you lived...



Alistair will only be your king if you're a noblewoman. Sorry.
