There is no point at all then. The asari are an all(superficially anyway) female.

My grief was that these races that DO have females are being represented as male only ingame. Asari have fuck all to do with that.

Thats kinda why I added the "You're right" at the end of my first post.

Uh. Ok.

Anyway,

What the fuck was meredith doing buying illegal lyrium artifacts anyway? Isn't that HUGELY hypocritical? Templars get shit on for illegal purchase of lyrium, and QUEEN TEMPLAR goes and buys the biggest piece of lyrium in fucking forever.

I really hope the movement to oust the Chantry goes into overdrive in the next game. To hell with religious oppression.

Well, it was implied that Meredith was already halfway to batshit crazy, and maybe just being near the idol was enough to push her over the edge.

That's the thing, she teetered between reasonable and approachable, to absolute psycho. I really wish they'd have explained more about the idol

I have a theory that the lyrium idol is basically a connection to the Fade and the voices whispering to Bartrand and Meredith were basically just demons of huge strength/power/persuasion/etc.

It's a pretty simple theory :monster:

I don't even know anymore. Fuck it.

Oh shit, oh shit, OW. My eyes just rolled so fucking hard that my optical nerves have twisted themselves back to front.
That fucking hurt.

Is it bad that I liked Meredith as a villain more than I liked Logain? Not just in design, but everything. You kept hearing about her like she was the boogey man, then she shows up and you spend the entire time not really knowing what you are suppose to feel about her.

She was obviously off her rocker and completely prejudice, but she was also just as desperate as the mages, only about keeping everything proper and safe. And she had this weird respect for the chantry head despite has power grabs.

Speaking of the chantry head, my sister and I got into a huge fight (lolz, we need to stop nerdin')on whether she was a good person or just as responsible as Anders. Apparently she was ceding power to Meredith and refused to get into the middle of things. I argued that as Chantry head, she tried her best to keep neutral and only wanted to keep the peace, which allowed her to stop fighting but also made it so she wouldn't forced out of power. She said people in power should step into the problems and stop it.

But she's an Anders fangirl so I don't particularly listen to her. :desumonster:

I like Orisno too, until he went all blood mage. It was like, you mother fucker, I followed you at the expense of some of my comrades because I thought you were a good leader, and then you shit on it and then prove her right...

I'M FUCKING HAWKE I WOULD HAVE WON YOU ASSHOLE. AND NOW I HAVE TO KILL YOUR ABOMINATION ASS.

Also, I'm pretty sure Orsino knew the mage that kills Hawke's mother

I think that was the part when I as a player gave up on Kirkwall. Like, I'd rather have the Quanari raze it to the ground and I would never look back. It's one of the reasons why I think Dragon Age 2 is a great game because I've only rarely been so emotionally tired of one place in a videogame. I didn't give a flying fuck about Ferelden past the, "okay, next objective is to save some ungrateful bitches."

Asari are neither male nor female, as they only have one gender to their race.

/late
though technically they are female because they give birth

Hey, I'm just sayin' - das what the game says.

Personally, they are typically very attractive and have nice asses, so as far as I'm concerned they might as well be women

At the very least, Meredith was an interesting character which is more than could be said for a lot of the NPCs in the game.
Her motivations are of course only hinted at during the game (and the boss battle), but the history of her career goes that a lot of people dear to her ie. family, etc. were offed by mages (blood magic, iirc) and basically it made her consider all mages to be readily capable of fucking up people's lives with blood magic.

I freakin' loved the Grand Cleric ;-; She was probably the only moderate voice in the stupid debate, and the only one who seemed to have an iota of compassion for both sides. She knew the power and influence she had as the head representative of a nigh-universal religion and she actually used it wisely, instead of abusing her powers
like Meredith and eventually Orsino did

Oh and btw has anyone who bought the game through Steam or whatnot have to download a 5 gigabyte patch to run it? I don't really know what they're getting at >:

As an afterthought, did anyone do that slandering sidequest where you have to go find something for a smear campaign against one particular Ser Conrad Vernhart? :monster:

It's a pity, though, I never actually got to see who Ser Conrad Vernhart was.

Haww my Dragon Age II gamer score is bigger than yours.

I really like the game, though I did feel sort of cheated by it at times. Read: every time I went into a dungeon and it was the same dungeon map I'd run 15 times before. Oh, and mages are still broken. I really liked the first act, despite going back to the Deep Roads...again. The other two acts were decent, but a little short.

Oh, and the companions in DAII> DA: O imho. The banter each of them have when you're just walking around is hilarious.
