At this point, I was busy molding a headcanon for my character, which is half the fun of playing a RPG like this. After a few attacks that my party dealt with brilliantly, I was finally confronted by the gatekeeper: the “Lady” wanted to talk to me because she was certain I didn’t understand the situation. I started up the game knowing that I’d entered the lair of the werewolves. FOR REAL, I HAVE DONE NOTHING WITH THE MAIN PLOT AND THIS GAME’S STORY IS STILL SPECTACULAR. WHY DO I KEEP PLAYING YOU?) I haven’t even touched the main plot aside from the results of my expedition in the Brecilian Forest. Truthfully, I’ve always been more fascinated by games that have a story attached to them. It is more fun that I am being handed one SHIT JUST GOT REAL moment after another. Yes, it is fun that I’m learning how to play this game.

With the exception of the fight against Zathrian, nearly my entire hour was spent coping with the numerous plot twists regarding the werewolves that were attacking the Dalish clan.

Intrigued? Then it’s time for Mark to play Dragon Age: Origins. In the ninth hour of Dragon Age: Origins, not one thing could have prepared me for Witherfang.
