Bwahahaha! I'm not even the 2nd oldest, then
This keeps getting better, I'm starting to feel younger all the time! 
Is there something about Dragon Age that's attracting the mid 1950s to early 1960s crowd? (and sorry, I know I'm paranoid, but I get edgy giving an exact age or b'day on line. I'm not actually coy about my exact age irl
)
I can only speak for me, of course, but I loved the story of Dragon Age. It's like reading a good book that you can actually participate in. And it doesn't hurt there are characters like Alistair and Cullen. 
As for this group in particular, it's a good bunch of people that I feel comfortable with. Sure, there have been the squabbles, but that'll happen with any group of friends. We're all individuals and there's simply no way to agree on everything all the time. Thing is, though, we always seem to manage to work through it and remain friends. I hope that most, if not all, will make the journey to our new home. If not... 
OK, now I'm just getting maudlin...
