Same! I somehow got Sten (which is weird, considering that my first ever character was a mage and I didn't actually get Leliana. Maybe it's because I threatened the revered mother?) But yeah my very first playthrough was without Leliana and I didn't really miss her. She has some nice stories and the quest where she's hunted by Marjolaine is interesting, especially after having played Leliana's Song, but her romance is overall just... eh. The part with the nug is kinda cute though.
I could be talking about this game for hours as well. I've played it so many times, but it always manages to surprise me with its little secrets and undiscovered hidden quests and thingies. Part of the reason why I love it so much.
My favourite origin is probably mage. The "true tests never end" line really got me when I played it for the first time. And the cute conversation with Cullen if you're a fem!Warden is hilarious! The dalish origin is interesting also, especially its later effect. What's yours?

When it comes to Dragon Age, the Alistair romance is my favourite by far. His character development (btw, look up "hardening", it's a pretty important element later in the game, I'm sure you'll find a spoiler-free guide) is amazing, and he's just so adorably bashful and charming. And sometimes he's hilariously dumb. Steve Valentine really did an incredible job on the voice acting.
Morrigan's romance is interesting as well, though her friendship is more interesting imo. And yes the suggestive comments she makes to Sten are hilarious.

Exactly. I'm not against sex in games, but I am against it when it's treated as a way to get attention to the game. It's cheap and lazy, but it gets the horny teenage nerds who bring the profit. And yeah the collectible nudes thing is just disgusting to me. Idk, I have a pretty strong opinion on treating other people like trophies and using sex for attention, I even argue with my boyfriend about it cause he's a fan of the Witcher series. And while the games are not bad per se, there is some clever writing and I've had a bit of fun with them, imo they're pretty mediocre (well okay the first one is just bad. And not even funny bad, just bad bad. The other two are okay though), they bring nothing new to the gaming industry, just rehash popular elements from other games, and bring a lot of attention to themselves with the pretty excessive sex scenes.

Yeah agreed the Witcher games feel like more of a male fantasy – being the alpha dude (the exact one most gamers despise irl, ironically), fucking chicks left and right, having sex as the reward for every second side quest, the "good old" damsel in distress being saved by a big strong man kind of narrative. Though there are some strong female characters in the series but honestly to me they seemed more like Mary Sues thrown in there in order to shut up the women who would potentially complain about every female character being a useless fuck doll.
BioWare games are a lot better in that respect, in my personal opinion. The characters aren't just two dimensional playthings, their romances and characters feel real and somehow truly human (even though there are aliens and elves and qunari lol). I really hope BioWare gets to the top again, Mass Effect (original trilogy, I haven't played Andromeda yet) and Dragon Age are my favorite series ever because of their characters and writing.

Yeah but from what I hear from other Americans on the internet, generally all it takes is an hour or two of paperwork, and sometimes they even say that they think it's too much. In my country, the tests consist of a medical/psychological checkup, knowledge of the law concerning guns, technical/mechanical knowledge (assembling and disassembling etc.) and the obvious criminal record check. It can take a couple weeks because you gotta study for those tests. Basically, guns are treated the same way as cars, you gotta have a licence for a specific type and you gotta pass a theoretical and practical exam to get it. I really don't see what exactly about this system makes people think we're anti-gun or anti-freedom or whatever, the way it works seems perfectly reasonable to me. But I grew up in this environment, I'm obviously not unbiased.

But that's the thing, Americans often have this notion that Europeans are anti-gun. We're not. We just have some tests in place that can tell whether you are a responsible person or a total nutjob. So people who just wanna have a gun for protection or hobby can get it but people who would use it to shoot up a school can't.

Yeah exactly. Dress codes won't help, seeing 5 extra square inches of knee skin makes literally no difference. I think what you're referring to is the Washington post article from 2016, at least that's the first thing that popped up when I went to google the statistics about rapists not remembering the victim's clothes. According to the article, "deputy principal Cherith Telford at Henderson High School in New Zealand told female students that their uniform skirts must be knee-length in order to 'keep our girls safe, stop boys from getting ideas and create a good work environment for male staff,' "
Seriously, if your staff gets aroused by CHILDREN'S KNEES to the point of feeling uncomfortable because they can't control themselves, you shouldn't force your students to buy brand new clothing. You should hire better staff.

Yeah definitely not good

Technically, it's not a question. Do you see a question mark anywhere in the post?

I mean good for him but that won't erase all those memories of extremely annoying videos lol

back before funny.junk became a trump loving echochamber, there was this image going around whenever someone would post a picture from there https://huge---lolcdn.com/comments/2260049.jpg (it's being edited so remove the three dashes in the link)
I wish FS would let you post images in comments, then we could make this a thing again

Then say far left, not just left. I'm sick and tired of people putting all left leaning people in the same bag with the feminazis and SJWs and all right leaning people with the Alt-Right and Christian fundamentalists. It creates an extreme dichotomy which is very counterproductive to any debate or conversation.

How is that even relevant? You're the one who called this random tweet leftist, not me.

But isn't it more selfish to demand other people to go against their nature just because you don't like it?
They're not hurting anyone, why do you care?

What's... what's wrong with that? I mean I don't really use the "[something] much" phrase but it's fairly common nowadays and I see nothing wrong, grammar or vocabulary-wise.

Again, you're one to talk.
