Well you could say that. But Assassin's Creed does that better with that department.

 

But Dragon Age have more and some mythical and magical aspect of the conspiracy theory than Assassin's Creed, such as end time prophecies, messianic figure, demons and spirits, body snatching, anti-religions vibes, racism, 9/11, War on Terror, Vatican Jesuit movement, blood rituals, UN politic, reptilian agenda, immigration problem....ect

 

there are too much to extract and i've been that for a long time...

Yes. It keeps my addictive personality in check. Well...gaming in general does that, but Bioware provides me with enough satisfaction to keep me coming back  :D

I had the first Assassin's Creed since I was in the 11th grade back in '08, I was very fascinated by the philosophies and insights of secret societies and their beliefs are astonishing to learn. I've been known there is something absolutely wrong with this world and why we keep repeating history all over again, it's like were getting dumber not smarter. I believe they are forces behind all of this and whatever it is it needs to stop.

Well, it will end where it begin*....but before that, just pray we can get through whatever comes, i don't know if i even survive, just prepare if you can for things to come, i myself don't prepare anything yet....there will be sorrows, insanity, desperation, deceptions and it will be like nothing we all ever see before...the world we know indeed come to an end...just take care yourself and your love ones when it happen...just be a good person, the truth will never be at the hands of the oppressors, the truth will always be at the hands of the oppressed...

It took away many precious hours of my life making me go collect things I didn't need while I could have been sleeping or reading or doing something more productive. 

 

But otherwise, no.

I'll have to start saying that when ppl roll their eyes at my love of video games, 'at least I'm not using crack!'

Exactly! :lol: Much healthier than other options, and does much less long-term damage to you :wizard:

 

Also, I never really understood people who roll their eyes at liking games. Or, maybe I do. I mean, it seems like those people don't really know what they are, because they think of the games they heard of in their childhood/life, like Mario etc. Very simple "time-wasters". Something fun to do when you're bored.

 

But games are so much more now, they're immersive, they're worth investing yourself into. They can have amazing stories to experience. Do these people not like books, or movies? If they do, then they shouldn't think games are dumb, because they're just another medium. And a more immersive one, and therefore my favourite.

 

Not to mention the fact that they are great mental training. And I don't just mean puzzles and things, but those as well. Because anything involving some kind of strategy and tactics is just an invisible puzzle. It's great for problem solving, great for hand-eye coordination, and so many other things. I'm sure my piano playing is better because of gaming and vice versa!

 

And no, they don't make people violent :angry: If anything, it's the opposite, because it's another form of stress-relief.

 

So there, I went on about games being great longer than I planned to ^_^

 

Well, I guess it's time to say this. 

 

I bought DAI on January 1st, 2015. On January 7th, my husband moved out and we were separated for a few months. During that time I just poured myself into DAI in a way that I never have with a game before. My first playthrough I was a human knight enchanter that romanced Cullen, and it really hit me how my husband used to be more like Cullen and maybe that's why I was attracted to him out of all the other LI's first. For some reason, just being the Inquisitor was a welcome distraction than facing the world with a marriage in turmoil. DAI and my toddler daughter were all that mattered during those few months, my work quality suffered significantly, but dammit, all my potions were upgraded. 

 

Thankfully, my husband and I rekindled our relationship, went to counseling, and we've even tried to have a second child (but I miscarried) since then. Funny story, my miscarriage is what brought me to BSN. I was so distraught that I was looking for a fun outlet, and I decided to become a member here.

 

So, DAI and BSN mean a lot to me, no matter how much people bash DAI, I still love it because it was definitely my friend when I needed one. No matter how many noob trolls post in these forums, it's still a safe place to me. 

 

Allright, here's a funny gif so you guys don't think I'm a giant mushy-pants. 

Wow, I'm sorry you had to go through all that! :unsure: I'm glad you seem to be doing better now though! Here's a Cullen+Inquisitor hug to make you feel better.

9a5j8iU.png

 

I do think I understand in a general sense where you're coming from though. I've used games as a refuge and definitely understand escaping by being someone else for a bit. I'm sorry about your miscarriage, but at least something good came of it, I guess. Another funny story about the BSN: After ME3 came out, I kind of got sent into a depression because of how invested I was in the series and characters, as well as other things I was going through at the time. Soon, I joined the BSN to try to make sense of the ending and just know I wasn't alone in it all, and eventually met my girlfriend because of that. So the games and forums mean a lot to me too =]

 

Also, it's okay to be mushy, we're all people with feelings and it's probably healthier to let them out than bottle them up, trust me.

And this is why I will never have children because it really hurts me to see children pass away, abused, and all kind of harm that kids have to go through in this f****d up place. But I'm very sorry you have to go through this.

We're all human and have to go through crap. But when we make it out, life is so much brighter. I'm a stronger person because of what I've been through! And yes, games help me escape when reality becomes too painful, and I'm thankful for that outlet. Because who knows what else I would do to cope....drink my sorrows away? who knows. Thanks for your comforting hug. :)

I'm stronger because of it, and am able to sympathize and help friends who have to go through crap like this also. While it was very sad to lose my baby, my 3 year old daughter is the cutest stinker and brings absolute joy into my life that I've experienced nowhere else. :) 

 

And she says she loves Dragon Age too, even though she's only watched me fight like, one Dragon. She saw an Inquisitor cosplay when we took her to comic con (dressed as Batman :D) and she yelled "MOMMA LOOK, DRAGON AGE!! I LOVE DRAGON AGE!"

I spent almost half a year playing DA:I, refreshing this forum, refreshing the dragon age inquisition tag on tumblr, refreshing the DA reddit.. Finally found something to be passionate about. 

 

But now, I'm starting to distance myself from DA. Mostly because the fandom is rotten and I've never felt so unwelcome in a community. It truly sucks loving something but then having to be in your little corner, being passionate about it yourself. Overwatch has been taking up a lot of my time too, which seems to be taking the place of DA as my no.1 obsession.

How do you do it?

 

I try to not be bitter about what's happened to me. Yep, life's not fair.... not much I can do about it except change my attitude. That's why after my grieving of losing my baby, I asked, "What can I learn from this and help make my life better by helping other people's lives be better?" And I decided to open up and talk to friends about losing my baby, and I found out that I'm not the only one, and we took comfort in each other's experiences. 

 

So I look at it this way. While it genuinely sucks that I went through those things, I know that friends and family who DO go through those things in the future will have someone like me to help them go through it because I've already been through it. :)

Thanks for sharing, this is a big thing for you and that's exactly what i feel about it, it helps me. No matter that it's just a bunch of pixels or whatever. I saw people doing stuff and saying stuff and they meant something to me and that's what works for me right. That it brought you here and gave you a safe place is great.

You're potions are better than mine (so's your patience!) I'm still running round with level 1 noob potion at level 18 :D

Yeah, it made me respect better games.

Anything I may have found lesson in within Inquisition, was all stuff I had learnt before in other games anyway. Inquisition did nothing for me. The other Dragon Age (as well as Mass Effect) have helped me - though I question whether it's actually help, especially when you're a pessimist like me - in thinking about conversing with other people and where those conversations can lead to.

But yeah, Inquisition taught me nothing I didn't already know.


What was the point of the negative response. My god. I just don't understand some of you people on here...... Some of you are jerks for the sake of being jerks.
