Interesting. Let's see how much I played.

1. If someone gives you a piece of paper you can draw a map of Fereldon from memory, main quest locations included.

Ah well, that's pretty easy, even on the second run!

2. You can get through the Fade in less than an hour and STILL find all the secrets/go to all the locations. (My first go-through of the Fade took two days at four hours a day. EIGHT FREAKIN' HOURS.)
[/quote]
My first run through, I went with 3 hours of gameplay. Was even about to surrender and search for some hints, when I saw the little mouse hole in the darkspawn invasion area... Today, stopwatched one of my runs, tried doing it as quick as I can : 49 minutes.

3. You can do the Elven Ritual without looking at the tablet.

Take the jug, put the water, go to the altar, put the jug, kneel and pray, take a single sip from the jug, take the jug, dump the water in the fountain... ups!

4. You know Hespith's creepy chant.
[/quote]
Have no idea for this one...

5. Even though the game requires that you locate all the codex entries for Watchguard of the Reaching and Summoning Sciences, you can still do both from memory.
[/quote]
I always need to check the codex for Summoning Sciences for the first step. The rest comes out from memory, yes. Watchguard quest is pretty easy to memorize actually...
[quote]
6. You know that the names of the side quests are Watchguard of the Reaching and Summoning Sciences.
[/quote]
You mean, I know what quest is which from its name? Not completely true, but partially yes.
[quote]
7. You know all of the riddles in the Gauntlet.
[/quote]
There is one that always tricks me : The one of king and tyrants. The rest... yeah...
[quote]
8. You can do the bridge puzzle in the Gauntlet without looking at a cheat sheet and/or testing the floor panels.
[/quote]
Again, a pretty easy one. Always remember, the right ones are double-platforms, the left ones are single platforms. Don't know which one to press, but remembering this formula is enough.
[quote]
9. The basement slider puzzle in the town where you find Shale takes less than five minutes to finish.
[/quote]
Do it from the back... that's what I learned. The first time, I needed at least 1 hour to sort things out however!

10. (Two people, true story): You have a conversation with your friend about an RE creature whose name you can't remember. Five hours later, all you have to do is text "Bereskarn" and he knows exactly what you're refering to.
[/quote]
On this one, I am not really sure...
[quote]
11. "Surprise me" at the Pearl is no longer surprising.
12. You can say the Grey Warden motto in your sleep.
13. You know the words AND the translation to Leliana's song.
[/quote]
Oh, these are a bit excessive. <_<...

[quote]
14. You know the names of the main characters, the side characters, and the little NPCs you run across maybe a total of ONCE in the whole game.
[/quote]
Hah! That would be insane, even for me to know!
I guess I played far too much. Ups!
