I've been trying to avoid any spoilers about the game itself (been reading the bare minimum news about it), but I've read the novels and the collected comic book.
Dragon Age: Asunder introduces one of the new companions to you, plus gives details on just how big of a gakstorm the Mage/Templar war has caused. Whereas, The Masked Empire (which I'm only halfway through) seems to be making the backstory of the games setting, Orlais as a whole.

DA3 is in Orlais? Orlais?

But... but... the accents. The horrible, horrible, Bioware faux-French accents.

That game will be unplayable with the sound on.

While I don't think there was any sort of "extra specials" for getting 100% completion, other than a trophy/achievement... it's more SR3, so why not!?

Well, I'm kinda assuming its in Orlais, as I said I've been avoiding game spoilers.

No, no, NO, not Orlais. I can impossibly stand an entire game of Lelianas speaking D:

Based on what I've read, I think that it'd be more accurate to say that Orlais will be included in DA3. I *think* (though I'm not certain) that the game will include other nations as well.

I'm partway through Deus Ex: the Fall, but I'm not really feeling it right now either.

DX: The Fall is being mishandled. The game comes with two levels that set up the protagonists and establish a very basic plot... and then nothing. The follow-up chapters haven't been released. And afaik, there's been no word on if or when they'll ever be released.

People all talking about Dragon Age made me get out Originis again. I still need to beat the game.

It's a long game, ok?

Installing mods to Baldur's Gate: EE. About to go through this series for the 4th time.

And why not? Which mods are you installing?

Good ol'fashion tweaks and fixes. I'm gonna give the NPC Project Mod a go as well. I generally find a lot of the user-made npc mods to be poorly written.

We'll see.

Been playing some GTA, very enjoyable but as I suspected a bit over rated, planning on getting starting a new Rome 2 campaign with the Emperors edition.

Pretty much my thoughts. Jumped on the DLC and having some fun with that, despite the fact I'm a bullet proof God with infinite ammunition.

Though I think I'm going to get hooked into Destiny this weekend...

The RES I ordered earlier works. I've been careful to gently swab the contact points on my NES cartridges with a cuetip moistened with alcohol, then dried them off before putting them in... and most of them have worked.

Sadly, Castlevania 2 is one of the few that doesn't work, it bugs out. I enjoyed that game, too :/

I thought you were part of the PC master race? What is this console blasphemy? There must be some sort of loophole that allows console from 5 generations or more ago.

Just picked up Planetside 2. Having buttloads of fun!

Which class(es) are you playing the most? I find the medic is quite possibly the most fun out of the box, but upgrading their medic gun thing does make them alot better. It's been awhile, I think the last time I played I was cheesing the unreasonably accurate guide-by-wire mouse-following AA turret upgrade for the engineer, sniping infantry and vehicles alike from render distance

I've been getting back into PS2 and it's been... tough. The Waterson-Matheson server merge has tilted the balance ridiculously against the TR... Goddamned Vanu are destroying everyone, to the point of it not being fun.

It was one thing when TR had superior numbers to compensate for the much superior no bullet drop and alpha damage of the other two empires.

Huh most of my dudes are TR, guess I'm not missing much. I mostly just cheesed with my AA turret anyway

Time is torn between Destiny and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain.

Just been playing the occasional line battle in Mount and Blade Nepolionics.

Im somewhat a Marksman in that game. I practiced shooting so much that I can hit targets at various ranges finally. In melee however I tend to have huge urges to flee. Despite being lCpl rank It took me a long time to not flee from melee battles to continue the fight elsewhere.

Nobody sees the potential for me to keep living I guess

Far, far too much Destiny...

Played a mobile game called Five Nights with Freddy. Pardon me while I have nightmares of automatronic bears.

I always forget how much the companions in Dragon Age bicker.

Bicker bicker bicker.

At least the dog is sensible.

Shale is by far the best companion in DA:Origins.

Been playing some multiplayer ArmA 3, mostly on cooperative servers apparently run by "realism" clans. It's all kinds of hilarious hearing sixteen year-olds trying 9 line briefs or insisting that it's "pickle" and not "stores."

Level 17 in Destiny, now.

One of the guys in our D&D group just showed us this game last night. Jeezus Christ, that game is fethed up.

It's really scary at the start - but I think it's too hard so fear gets quickly replaced by frustration which, sadly, kills any fear :(

Heavy Assault. And the big armored one occasionally. The one thing I want is a nice Aircraft to attempt to fly. I also can't find a single place under my factions control where I can get a heavy tank.

How do you swap continents? I've been trying to get somewhere else but it just won't let me!

Been playing some Infinity Wars, a CCG on Steam.

It's.... ok.

Someone roped me in to playing Archeage, the Log-In Queue Simulator MMO.

Had another blast of HL1-black mesa mod.
If you havent tried it, do so. Its brilliant.
