I misread a topic and that's what I thought it said and I thought that's a good topic.

 

 

 

I don't really remember it came about gradually for me.

[Riverdaleswhiteflash]

During my third time through the endgame. My dad came into my room at 5 am and asked if I knew what time it was. I think this might have been during the semester, too.

About 2-3 hours of my first DAO playthrough, really. The second "hit" to my heart was when I found out there are romances
(I was 15 btw)

[Elhanan]

When random dialogue would pop into my thoughts during RL events. While pulling up to the drive-thru as normal, the voice on the speaker asked, "What do you want tonight?", and my immediate thought was, "What I want is to see mountains, to witness an ocean and step into its waters...."

The first time my Warden smooched Leliana.

It wasn't an instant thing for me. A friend of mine was actually selling her copy of DAO for the PS3 (non-Ultimate Edition), and I was considering buying it. She raved about it, so I decided to give it a try before purchasing it. I hadn't played many RPGs before DAO, so I didn't know what to expect. Well, straight out the gate, I picked the Mage origin and ended up in the Fade. Knowing nothing about this game, after about three minutes I thought my eyeballs were bleeding, and I quit. I thought that was how the entire game was going to be, so I didn't buy her copy.

 

After that, I was still curious, and I watched some videos on YouTube. I decided to give it another try, and I bought a DAO Ultimate Edition for the PS3. I started as a Cousland, and I've loved it ever since. And I do like the Mage origin now.

When i realized that i beated the game in the wrogn way and decided to play it all over again. When i realized i played the game 5 times already wit hthe same damn ugly character. Being in love with the series ever since.

When Alistair dumped me because of a decision I made, which caused me to cry profusely and reload the game.

[Darkly Tranquil]

I think it was at the point where I had just finished the game, and I immediately went back to the character creation screen to start a new game with a different Origin. I played six times (each Origin) back to back over about 2 months.

Human Noble prologue. after decapitation of one of the Howe's soldiers.

It was gradual for me. To be honest, the first time I played DA:O I came from playing Neverwinter Nights and I was expecting lots skills and talents, so I was kinda turned off by the character sheet and creation screen; I really enjoyed my first warden but at the end I never considered DA:O one of my favorites. But years passed and I never stopped playing it, trying different origins and class combinations. Now we are in 2014, almost 2015, and I have no doubts about this matter: DA:O is one of my personal favorites. I consider it the best example of "oldschool" crpg "modernized". 

[Pommelhorse]

Ok, I don't want to come across as one of "those" people, bit I was obsessed with DA when it was announced (2004 I believe), purely because I was a big fan of Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate, KOTOR and Bioware in general. The game premise sounded exactly like the type of game I'd love, plus ..... dragons!!

 

Origins is still one of my favourite games of all time. I have stupidly high hopes for DA:I. But then I said the same thing about Watch Dogs ...... 

[DracoAngel]

Hmm. Well, I think it started when my romance with Alistair started. I'll be honest, he made the game for me. And I became full blown fanatic after I finished the DA novel Stolen Throne. After that I couldn't get enough of the DA universe

[SomeoneStoleMyName]

Had friends over while watching the DA:I trailer on the big screen.

Me = uber hyped
My friend: "its just a game"

I then said: "This isnt a game its the next chapter of my life!" closely followed by "I dont care what happens to me, aslong as I can live long enough to complete DA:I - I will die happy!" with a huge grin on my face almost breaking apart with excitement.

 

Oh and looking back even further: when I could execute Alistair. At that moment I went like this:

[Selthae]

I knew i was a DA:O fanatic when i heard "Bioware" and "spritual successor to Baldur's gate" in a sentence together.

 

My only 2 pre-orders of my life: DA:O and ME3. And i'm relatively ancient.

[Lost Mercenary]

Human Noble prologue. after decapitation of one of the Howe's soldiers.

 

This.

 

As soon as I saw that glorious fountain of blood erupting from that Howe soldiers neck I was sold.

[KaiserShep]

There was a hint it was coming in Origins when sh** hit the fan in Ostagar, but where it really hit me that I was a total fanatic for this franchise was when my Warden and group was storming the gates of Denerim in the endgame.

[Diva Quinzel]

I feel like this is an extremely difficult question to answer to, after all obsessions just kind of 'happen', so too say   

But for me, it was probably at the end of my first playthrough, it was right after the landsmeet when Alistair broke up with 'me'.
I was completely and utterly crushed, I actually ended up replaying the game, sadly the info I found on the internet had been faulty and he ended up breaking up with me again.
The fact that I refused Morrigans ritual, simply because Alistair broke up with me and I felt like there was nothing left to live for because of it, pretty much says it all   

The part of me that is Diva Cousland, the Grey Warden, truly and completely loves Alistair, and the same for the HawkeMe and Isabella.
The dragon Age games just have a talent for completely pulling you in and feeling like a part of that world ;P
