The Broodmother looked exactly like the female equivilent of Warhammer's Bile Lord. My first thought upon seeing her was "wow...those two should hook up" ROFL



The creepiest part for me was the Orphanage - that little kid's voice was just haunting.



The Hespith rhyme went on far too long - by the end I was telling Alastair "yeah, yeah ninth day she grins and devours her kin - by my calcuations with all the time we've heard that, we should be on Day 18 - now where is something to kill?" :-D

That whole bit where Hespith just before you turn the corner and face the Broodmother.



The moment she said "Broodmother..." the only thing I thought was "Oh dear". I wasn't disappointed by the hideous sack of flesh monstrosity that assaulted al my senses.

[Chaosy]

Definitely the Broodmother...

Being in the Fade kinda creep-ed me out. They had some eerie music and it was just like being in a bad dream.

[Noxxxious]

What got me was the way in which you're dumped in the fade after meeting the sloth demon. i had a 2h warrior, at that point in the game, and my survival depended ENTIRELY on the supporting cast. The slow realization that we were falling for the demon's trap, and finally waking up ALONE in the fade, knowing I'd have to fight my way out without poultices, a tank or Wynn...

That was frightening. Beating the fade under those conditions though gave me confidence for the rest of the game tho...



- Also the exchange between the desire demon and the templar she wants to possess, I allowed her to take him provided she gtfo of there... THEN seeing her in the fade, near his corpse... freaaky as hell.

Overall, the whole demon/possession/abomination concept is frightening, given it hits closest to something happening in reality.

Yes, I found it to be a perfect setup for the broodmother. You KNOW something really bad is going to happen when you turn that corner. Or more precisely, that something really bad is going to try to eat you when you turn around that corner. But there is no other way to proceed, so ...

Part of what freaked me out were the disgusting fleshy growths in the area (and the Circle Tower) but especially the fleshy ... stuff covering the floor all around the broodmother. What IS that? Is it part of her? Created by her? Alive? Just shapeless meat? Brr.

Hespith-Broodmother-Golums trifecta and the abandoned orphanage in the Alienage.



Hespith is crazy creepy. I really, really wish I could have just offed her. But no, she's creeping around in the damn Deep Roads. I thought I was going to run into her on the way to the Anvil. Ugggh.

[Magaloo]

Not that anything eerie or creepy happened there but the music of the docks on Lake Calenhad made me wonder if something was hiding somewhere and made me nervous.



The orphanaged next. Plus I really liked how they did the story and Ser Otto.

Easily the Broodmother. On my first playthrough, I jumped out of my chair when Hespith started chanting. Then, when I got to end and found out what the Broodmother actually WAS, I honestly sat there staring at the screen in disbelief for at least 5 minutes.



We have met the enemy, and they are us.



I actually feel sort of concerned about my first playthrough PC. She's female. Does she get to become a broodmother when she's inexorably pulled underground by the taint in 30 years?

Not sure if they're immune or not, but I think the usual idea when you go underground is to join up with the legion of the dead, and make sure the darkspawn kill you - after taking a few hundred of them with you.

But sure as hell, if i were a female grey warden I'd make sure I didn't get captured, including telling my legion buddies to be sure to kill me if it even looked possible.  (Crossbow bolt to the head, please.)

After Broodmother/Hespith, I've never been able to make myself not kill Branka even with my more pragmatic, less nice characters (I don't play evil characters, but I do play ruthless ones sometimes).  No way, no how, am I putting Branka in charge of something like the anvil.

[guitarbard]

When I first went through the Fade it creeped the bejeezus out of me, and it didn't help that it took me two days to get through. Branka is definitely creepy, but Haven is definitely freaky. Along with the Fade, I try to get through it as fast as possible without missing anything.



Wait...the Broodmother is a dwarf??? I thought that it was just the mother of all the darkspawn, not counting the Archdemon. But now that I think about it, that can't entirely be the case if the darkspawn keep regenerating...

Lol the creepiest? Deffinately the Orphanage in the Alienage...that's some creepy **** with those background noises and screams and creepy childhood verses.

"1, 2 where are you
3,4, the armies at war
5,6 take the risk
7,8,9 and now you die*Creepy little boy laughter*"

*shudders*

Maybe it changes but when I played that part (with subtitles on since it was late) the ditty started "One, two Maric's run through"

Hmm, how did he die?

[Palathas]

Hmm, haven't come across Hespith and the Orphanage yet so I'd have to say the lead up to the Broodmother.

I'm probably one of the few people who didn't find the Orphanage quest that creepy. I viewed as kind of a horror homage quest (mainly Exorcist), so it kinda felt like a fun quest in some ways.

[guitarbard]

I haven't done the Orphanage yet either. I did, however, just look up the Broodmother in the game guide. I'm surprised the female characters don't mention anything about throwing up or wanting to.

Broodmother is why female PCs should bring a friend with them to the Deep Roads after 30 years to make sure they end up dead.



Just sayin'. Don't want to be a broodmother in a sequel right?

Or if you have him, hopefully Avernus came up with something.

I'm still kinda curious why the broodmother looks nothing like her spawn... eh.

Any time Leliana spoke. Seriously I can't stand her accent.

For some reason I found it got better as the game went on. It sounded kinda lispy at first, especially if have a neutral ranking and click on her - she makes an odd sound.  Earlier conversations seemed that way a tinnnnnnny bit.

There's actually 3 Kind og Broodmother.

The dwarf one(The one you faced) .. They make little Genlock Babies
The Human One  .. They make little Hurlock babies
and The Qqnuri One (They make little Ogres babies)

Don't forget Elves make Shrieks...

Elven alienage...



poor people...



eww

[DaLabbes]

Unlike most people here, I didn't find the Orphanage quest creepy at all. There were far too many fights to make it creepy. Vampire 2 has a quest in a cursed hotel, also with ghosts, and that creeped me out far more simply because there's no one around. Not a single fight.

Didn't expect the end of the orphanage quest, though. Really stylish and very horror-cliché, but I liked it.



The way to the Broodmother had me scared. Meeting Hespith and hearing her poem...that freaked me out. My bad assumptions were only confirmed when reading the codex entry for the Broodmother...horrible.

Branka just had to die for that alone.

[Kerilus]

Indeed the haunted hotel in Vampire the Masquerade is so well done. The fights in the orphanage do distract you from the creepy atmosphere, while in the hotel it's all dark, with an excellent music and things would move and fly at you out of no where. And the woman grost...and the bits of clues for what happened showing up on your way also helped to build that feeling.

Also, most importantly you're alone in Vampire.
