Fedora using more than 5 words for once. And to defend DAO at that. This must be what True Love looks like.

Why is everyone freaking out over Morrigan? That bitch was one of the most annoying characters they made. The only reason she ever made it to the end of a playthrough is because of the ritual she offers in order to survive. And even that is sketchy as all shit.
And she's not hot. At all. Are you all blind? Have you not seen hot characters? WTF....

If it makes any sense, I wouldn't say she's unusually sexy but she just won me over with her constantly roasting everybody, particularly with Claudia Black's icepick delivery.

Morrigan: "We have a dog in the party and Alistair is still the dumbest one."

Alistair: Why do you always go on about how stupid I am? I'm not stupid, am I?
Morrigan: If you need to ask the question...
Alistair: Because it hurts my manly feelings, you know. All one of them.

Even Sten gets a quality dig on her.

Morrigan: You are very quiet, Sten.
Sten: Only compared to some.

Doesn't work for you, fine. Just thought it was surprisingly charming. Wasn't expecting more than dishwater depth from these NPCs. Maybe expectations matter.

That, in turn, was one of the worst parts of Inquisition. Morrigan showed up and I dying to see her finally put this insufferable group of happy-go-lucky cartoon dipshits in their place. "C'mon Morrigan, bring the roast."

Once I realized that she'd been subject to the same lobotomy as the gameplay, I began to accept the dread suspicion that the game was just ass and would never improve.

Bruh woketards are really going insane over this game. They simultaneously realize how utter trash it looks, but cannot allow any sort of criticism towards it either. It's tearing them apart.

Meh she was like a discount Viconia. Sten was the only interesting companion in DAO and his dialogue was disapointingly shorter than the rest.

The more I see of this game, the more I don't understand how anyone can say it's good, but Bioware knows what their retarded fans like: be awesome, be inclusive, be sarcastic.

Even Oghren was more interesting than Sten and his entirely personality was being a foul-mouthed alcoholic whose wife left him for a woman.

The only interesting thing about Sten was his polish voice actor, who did stellar job and gave him personality.

Orgen was fun to have around. Classic dwarf bro you can go to pub with.

And i like his voice actor.
Oghren was the biggest piece of shit and waste of breath in the entire franchise. Loved the manlet (no homo).

She is a mage. Put her in the party with Wynn and it is easy mode unleashed.

And a crappy one, because of feats wasted on shapeshifting, which I never used. I played as a mage myself, and she was a forever backbenched, alone and forgotten in her tent.
Virulent walking bomb, and I believe she was already on the tree towards mana clash.

Imagine leaving party member auto-spec on. I always specialised Morrigan for entropy and the cold and electricity spells, although all party mages would get at least the basic healing spell and dispell from the spirit school. There should always be party members present who can either heal or dispell. Alistair gets the latter ability from the templar specialisation.

All this talk about mages in DAO made me realize how progressively cucked the magic system became as the games went on. Even if we ignore Shapeshifter because it was an absolute meme (except maybe the flying swarm form but nobody wants to waste points in shapeshifter to get to that) look at the sheer amount of spells you had. And there was a good amount of spell combinations too if I remember.

Never forget the awesome button. Bioware abandoned their roots in favour of appealing to console dweebs.

Oghren is pretty widely regarded as the worst Origins companion. He's not charming, attractive, funny, he has no redeeming qualities.

Morrigan is secretly a basket case but Viconia is openly an emotional trainwreck. Is that what you're into?
