"Dragon Age II Spoilers" or "What The Crap, Anders, That Didn't Help At All!"

[Seil]

So yes, even after all my bitching and moaning, I bought DAII. And I take back a bit of what I said - not all, just a bit.

All right, that's over and done with? Okay, now for the other stuff: Jesus Christ, Anders! In DA:O/DA:A, I went full Persuasion. I love games where I can just talk people down, and most of the time you get something nice for passing a hard speech check. DAII doesn't let you level anything like that, but I tried to talk through things anyway. The Arishok, Orsino, Merideth - I was like "The Templars are kinda assholish, but maybe the Mages could stop turning to blood magic?

Then Merideth was like "WARGARLBARGL!" and I was like "I'm totally glad I signed on with First Enchanter Blood Mage! That was a totally smart move! Especially when I was like "Blood magic isn't the answer!" and he was all like "Your mother sucks cocks in hell, Karras!"

(Plus I totally think something should've happened to Isabella at the end of the second act. Not like, sending her away or totally protecting her, just like... something negative.)
