WOOOOOO MeMe!

1) I stubbornly kept the Robes of the Notorious Pirate on her even when there were better ones just because they were so groovy. Not to mention it helped with my immersion (a lot easier to wrap my head around the whole apostate refugee thing if Hawke doesn't flaunt her magey-ness!)

2) Best response to the smarmy Hawke ever! (from the Mage Underground lady ). In general the snarky options were irresistible, though sometimes I let her have a bit of sensitivity in emotional situations and go with the higher ground

3) AAAAAAAAAVEEEEELIIIIIIINE WHY AREN'T YOU ROMANCEABLEEE

4) This BSN thread pretty much conveys my feelings of annoyance.

5) HATESEX YEAAAAAAAAA
Also a one-time girly fun thing with Isabela that seemed to have been canceled out by the Fenris (didn't stop Varric from saying my Hawke ran off with Isabela in the epilogue, though )

6) Problem with Isabela was that she kept taunting with Across the Bow and dying when everyone jumped onto her!

7) The Long Road (Aveline's Donnic quest) is of course one of my favorites, but seeing as everyone else and their uncle have already highlighted it...
I always have a weakness for the "test your companions' weaknesses" quests! The companion Fade dreams in DA: O were one of my favorite parts, asides from the whole nightmarish mousehole thing... so I was glad DA2 gave us the Fade-induced-character-development minus the monster mazes!

8) Everyone was my BFF! Except for poor Carver and Fenris... (and now I just realized I forgot to draw Isabela in that panel. *headdesk*)

9) I think the underlying ideas behind DA2 were all excellent! However...

10) Shoddy execution! I'm not only referring to bugs, but also the lack of detail that made DA: O feel so real!
And as for Act 3's problems, here's a much more eloquent analysis than I can give .
Also, the elves T____T It's not just that they're fugly, it's that I feel it's unnecessary! It made the prejudice seem so much more realistic when the elves looked, well, human - the world just seems so damn cartoony now.
Also, for those of you who found the Zevran cameo (and the other LIs' for that matter) jarring, that's because they were screwed up! See this thread for a more detailed report.

11) Ya, 7/10 is probably a bit harsh... that's more of me rating it as a BioWare game, though! If I didn't know the level of greatness it could have been it would probably be more like 8-8.5/10
(though a patch that would fix the romance import problems would also make my rating go much higher! my previous decisions MATTER, damnit!)
