I never got the hate for the Fade.
It's only about an hour long in Broken Circle, I just pop in some headphones and rock out to music while going through it, to make the time pass by. I do the same thing during the Tower of Ishal dungeon, which believe it or not takes the exact same amount of time, but feels more faster paced due to the urgency of lighting the beacon.
The only reason I dislike the Fade in "Night Terrors" in DA2 is because it's a buggy as hell and the puzzles do not work for me, forcing me to have to "cheat" and temporarily use the dev console to give myself the +4 attribute points that I can't legitimately get otherwise! Aside from that, it's a pretty awesome quest, especially if you bring Anders along and Justice manifests.
(Although it's things like that which do make me question that whole "He and I are one" spiel, since the two are separated in some manner. Even if we accept that it's metaphorical and Justice is affecting Anders just as much as Anders is affecting Justice, the two clearly aren't one entity?)
And Orzammar and the Deep Roads is much more of a slog than the Fade sequence. Even as much as I love the Dwarves, the entire questline is so long and tedious and slows the already somewhat slow pacing of Origins right down to a crawl while I'm forced to deal with yet more pointless squabbling from (Dwarven) nobles, which I will soon get enough of when I'm dealing with the Landsmeet!
It's actually starting to affect my RPing. My Cousland is just so tired of solving other people's problems when there's a Blight at hand that now she says things like, "Of course you have a problem. Fine, what is it?" Before she was like, "Gotta help everyone! I'm glad to help!" And now she's all grumpy-face.
The only time she's not grumpy now is when she gets to drag Alistair into their tent in the camp... ![]()
