Dragon Age

Okay, it has been a while since the last update, I never have patience to concentrate on my own blog for long. But I haven't played any less than usual so I have lots of screenshots to share! In my last post I promised to show my Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 characters. These aren't my first characters in either of the games since I first played them on PS3, but these are first ones I have played on PC.

• Name: Neria Surana                                                                         Strength: 18
• Race: Elf                                                                                            Dexterity: 14
• Class: Magi                                                                                      Willpower: 55
• Origin: Circle Mage                                                                        Magic: 86
• Level: 28                                                                                            Cunning: 14
• Specializations: Arcane Warrior, Blood Mage, Battlemage     Constitution: 47

I love playing as a mage in Dragon Age games. They are pretty tough compared to other classes, and are treated differently compared to other people. Playing as a mage and as an elf is even more awesome, because they are discriminated and looked down by others. Neria is a character, that seeks power, no matter what the cost. She does not believe in the Maker and wants mages to have no control to their abilities, and does not believe Circle control to be necessary. She was taken from her parents in a young age because of her magical abilites, and she does not remember anything about them. In her opinion blood magic has it's uses. She is always defending mages, dwarves and elves and thinks that humans have too much power.

Neria has a romance with Zevran Arainai.

I altered her appeance a bit when I started to play Dragon Age Origins: Awakening. I wanted her to look older and more experienced.

• Name: Elia Cousland                                                                     Strength: 45
• Race: Human                                                                                  Dexterity: 34
• Class: Warrior                                                                               Willpower: 26
• Origin: Human Noble                                                                  Magic: 15
• Level: 20                                                                                         Cunning: 18
• Specializations: Champion, Templar                                         Constitution: 49

I made her an exact opposite of Neria, in top of Ferelden social hierarchy and only making choices, that are considered to be good and moral. She believes in the Maker and Andraste, and is honorable and democratic. She is suspicious about mages but does not discriminate them.

Elia in the midst of battle with her best friend Leliana. I changed her appearance pretty soon, because I wan't happy with it.

Elia has a romance with Alistair. He was her first, as Alistair was hers.

They got Married after the Blight.

Ellara Aeducan and Gorim (Dwarven noble origin).

Braenn Mahariel (Dalish elf origin).

 Dragon Age 2 was not in my opinion nearly as good as the first game, and I usually play it just because of the story and especially the romance options. The combat and gameplay are repetitive and frustrating, and it is so disappointing to see how you actions in DA: Origins don't really affect in any way, people you killed before are suddenly alive without any explanation and so forth. Still, I have enjoyed playing it because of the story.

My mage Hawke, Franka. Act I look. I always want to slightly change the character's apperance between the acts.

Act II look.

Act III look.

She has a romance with Anders, of course. He is my all time biggest video game crush, ever.

 That's all for now! :) In next post will probably be Guild Wars 2 or random Skyrim stuff.
