I was talking about the mages in the witcher, not the witchers in the witcher =P. Due to the immense power they are born with if they dont get proper training when they young they go insane, most are only half insane. Also yeah your onto something about Dragon Age having similarities to The Witcher but most of the similarities lie with The A Song of Ice and Fire series, The Grey Wardens have far more similarities with The Nights Watch then they do with Witchers. In Dragon Age seems to be from that book series.. But the similarties between the witcher and dragon age seem evident.. The Witcher was written just two years earlier then A Song of Fire and Ice though so maybe both copy the witcher or something idk lol.
Yeah, I know you meant mages. I've just been waiting for the chance to point out the suspicious similarities between the two series hehe... Normally I find it annoying when people say one story is like another because they use way too broad an idea. For example, Mass Effect is like Independence Day because both are about defending mankind from a superadvanced alien species. Yeah, that's pretty much an entire
genre. But the Witcher/Dragon Age similarities are a little suspicious to me.
Anyway, it's ironic you mention their mages... I thought their mages were a great example of how weak DA's mages are. Even the weakest of theirs use teleportation spells, some of which going a hundred miles or more, like it's nothing. The most powerful ones can actually frickin' time travel! When I first saw Sabrina Glevissig's handiwork I thought she was just being blamed for an extremely rare natural disaster. That battlefield looked like it had been hit with a powerful meteor shower. The whole place was riddled with impact craters you could drive a semi through blindfolded. But no, she really just annihilated two armies by herself. And she probably doesn't even rank their top ten most powerful mages. Yet here in DA people actually compare mages to nuclear weapons. Riiiiight. And a mosquito is just like a t-rex.

About as funny as sending romanced Alistair off to his execution.
But hey, some callous people actually thought that was lulz worthy.
Never mind the fun some people had as they watched Anora break down at her father's execution.
1. You
completely missed the point. The humor isn't in Leandra dying, it's in how terribly done the scene is. They (and I, for that matter) just can't take it seriously while patchwork zombie mom stands there wobbling awkwardly while she patiently waits for Hawke to finish off the bad guys. One of the most important aspects of humor is careful exaggeration. And they tried so hard to make that scene heart-wrenching and horrifying that they went over the top, lost believability, and accidentally hit many people's humor button instead.
2. Speaking of unintentional humor, that was pretty funny how you condemned people for reveling in Anora's karmic retribution right after you condemned others for enjoying having Alistair executed. Did you forget Anora is the **** that called for his execution despite his only crime being his father's name? I guess it's just wrong to enjoy seeing what one feels as justice done in a work of fiction. Woo. Watch your step when you get down off that high horse. It's a
long way down.
