I've put more than 160 hours into it, and I'm not even half done. Of course, that's because I've started over twice: the first time was because I didn't like being human, and the second time, I realized I'd messed up the possibility to have the romance I wanted. Plus, my eyebrows were bothering me. Third time's a charm, right? To me, that's the mark of an amazing game: I can do the same things *three times* and not get sick of it.
There is little I would change:
1) Most importantly, I really, really need a Mabari. It is so not fair that all these mercs and other assorted dickheads get loyal hounds, and that there are endless packs of them roaming the Hinterlands, all growly and grumpy, and not a single one of them is like "hey, you know, she's nice, she should be my person!" Also, half of the game is in Ferelden, and I've yet to meet a citizen with a hound. That's a little odd, now that I think of it. Seriously, I need a hound. I don't even care if it's a fancy Orlesian-bred Mabari, and he only eats truffles and pearls by the fireplace with his little satin booties on. No need to fight, I just want him in my life. Please? Maybe?
2) A beauty salon type of thing would be cool. Change my hair once in awhile, get a fresh new scar after part 1 ends, that sort of thing. Don't get me wrong, my elf is cute as hell, but anything that increases my RP experience is welcome.
3) A few new armor styles, or at least the ability to change the base cloth color. Olive drab is generally nice, but black would be good too, and so would a warm chocolate brown. That would look *so* nice with plaideweave fabric.
4) My Inquisitor must really love loot, like REALLY love loot, because whenever she runs up to something and sees that it's lootable, she jumps right into the air! It's a running joke among the Inquisition, but in practical terms it means I have to stand really close to lootable bits to activate them. That's pretty minor, but it would help.
MORE PRAISE:
I love what the patch has done for the search function. The glowy dots on the radar? Very nice. Thanks for that.
The first big cinematic, during all that business with the trebuchets? (Trying not to spoil.) Honestly, best game cinematic *period*. I can't think of one better. I must have reloaded 20 times so I could watch it over, and over, and over, and let the awe sink in. Um, not twenty times in a *row*, I started over twice, remember? Anyway, it's just so good. The people involved in that should get a raise.
I often forget that I'm not looking at actual people. In particular, Solas' body language says far more than his mouth does. Wow. So well done.
SOME OF THIS STUFF IS SO CREEPY. The Oculara? Ugh! It's horrible, and I love you guys for it. ALSO, the way you can hear the base of the skull scraaaaping against the pole? Guuhasdhflasdfasdfff.
Cole's original tarot card. It's just so good.
I'm sure I'll think of a dozen more things as soon as I walk away from typing, but I'll try to hold myself back from fangirling anymore than I have already. You are all gentlewomen, artists and scholars, and I am so grateful that you've created this story and allowed me to be a part of it.
Love,
Me
PS: I'm a big fan of Krem, and also that women and non-traditional couples are generously represented. I feel like I *belong*, rather than being simply tolerated. It enriches the world (Thedas and our own). Please, never stop.
I am in love with this game. Please read!
