Good form!

Jeff, I skipped your MotA section because I haven't bought it yet, but would you consider it worth $10? I know that's a question that's going to vary from individual to individual, but if you were selling someone on it what would be the highlights?

[JeffZero]

Hey, thanks for asking! I'll be glad to help. For reference's sake though the only time I've felt genuinely regretful over purchasing a BioWare DLC at a specific price point has been with ME3's Omega. The $15 there should ideally have been cut in half. More realistically, at $10 I would not have felt particularly irked with what I got.

Mark of the Assassin was worth $10, I would say. It's a romp, more to the form of ME2's Kasumi DLC than anything of an especially serious tone, although like Kasumi it touches on heartfelt themes. Unlike Kasumi you do not acquire a permanent new party member, but also unlike Kasumi the story here isn't over quite so quickly. There are several parts split into a few distinct sections with their own feel. I'm not saying you should feel in awe at its length or anything but it does feel suitably diverse.

The big retrospective selling points for me were the environments, new enemy types, but above those by far, the irreverent humor and strong peek into Orlesian society. Especially with Inquisition on the horizon that last part is fitting and enjoyable.

Also unlike Kasumi DLC, MotA doesn't feature ogres
  

and strong peek into Orlesian society.

Even more so, if you bring Aveline with you.

I do enjoy my irreverent humor (Isabela4lyfe). Thanks for the info!

Whoo, I'm 90 pages into Asunder already. Which may not sound like much but I generally try to read books slowly. Sometimes I fail.

I've already seen my love~

Er, *Aedan's love~

[TheLittleBird]

Now I'm actually excited to continue reading Asunder. I'm only on page 60 or so.

Thank you Jeff!

[JeffZero]

Anything to help!

Lol, it took me a month to finish that book. I was forced to read A LOT of books in University I never really recovered from that so I read it very gradually. There are very interesting characters in Aunder, most of which have great potential for development in Inquisition.

 

I noticed you really liked Anders, well at least before he explodes all over us, literally. There is a character that is very much like Anders but tries to accomplish the same thing without any explosion and her hands are quite clean, no murder etc... I think you'll like her! I'm waiting to hear your view on her.

You're taking about

Fiona,right? If I recall Jeff read the previous novels, so he should be familiar with her.

Yeah. Is there anyone else with that characteristics? Wait... not HER I hope.

I was mostly sure to who you were referring, but I had to ask.

Spoiler

Adrian is quite similar to Anders in goals, and in the determination of achieving the goal, even if it means killing. The difference is the Anders aknowledged that he had to pay for what he did

Spoiler

Well I did say no explosions and clean hands

Believe it or not I hate Adrian for it. Cold blooded murder without remorse. I think I won't gut her on sight but she needs a good spanking and my inquisitor is happy to help if given that chance What she did indeed helped Fiona but its not that different than what Anders did, abhorrent but necessary for achieving the goal

You're not the first pro-mage who hates Adrian, I assure you.

I regret nothing

[CDRSkyShepard]

Since we're on the topic of the DA books, I have two questions:

 

1) What order do they go in?

2) Are they available on Kindle?

 

Because, DI Jeff, I want to read them all now...

The Calling

Ty, eluvianix.

[JeffZero]

Haha, what's going on here?

Oh, I'll give more thoughts a bit later, elu! Just for you. Watching a friend play a very different kind of game right now (Wind Waker, haha) but I'm on page ~115 or so as it stands, already a quarter of the way.

I noticed there was only the bigger version of the book at the store by the way. Did Asunder never receive a smaller-scale print? Just curious. I like this size more in any case, but it dawns on me I've never seen it like that.

I used to work at Barnes & Noble and this is considered a soft-cover edition. In other words, it's the same size as a hard-cover edition it just has the paper back cover instead.

[JeffZero]

Thanks! I'm terrible with these terms.
