Dragon Age: Origins fly-by posting

Even on 'easy' (or 'casual' as the PS3 version calls it) some of the Dark creatures are hard. I just spent the best part of an hour beating up an ancient Darkspawn over and over again. I really began to think I'd never win. Bloody things.

There was a spider queen earlier, too, which was more of a problem than it should have been if casual was actually casual. I hate to think what it would be like on 'normal'. As someone on my flist said, I'm in it for the plot not to keep dying all over the place.

Been to the Fade yet? One word: OMG!BORING.

That from the girl who plays the PC version and cheats the hell out of the game. And has spent the last five months writing and reading DA:O fanfiction. ;)

Yes, and yes. I went to it during that period when you have to go to the Tower of the Circle and get caught up Doing Stuff to get rid of that sloth demon. You're right: OMG boring! It wouldn't be so bad if you could keep the handy-dandy shapeshifter cool powers in the Real World, but you can't.

I wish it were possible to cheat the hard fights on the PS3. I would so be there after the third try at anything.

Right with you on the shapeshifting. The way the mouse's hindquarters bounce is *so cute*. Ahem. Also, I wouldn't need Shale if I could golem-ise. ;)

Have you been to the brothel in...that place beginning with a D? That town? Never found a game before where you can hire a whore...no XP for it, though. You just get robbed.

Denerim, the capital of Ferelden! (http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_Wiki ) I did say I've been reading and writing a *lot* of DA:O fanfic lately. ;)

The best place in the brothel is the surprise option. Where, for instance, the nug won't look you in the eye afterwards.
