wow I'm sorry if you followed this twitter to see art, I think I'm just gonna be a dragon age livetweet feed for a while

I'm playing Origins. Here she is. Pickle Mahariel

aww this is nostalgic... the first time I played this I waited until my parents were on vacation and I was housesitting alone then I gunned it and beat the game in like a week because I was too embarrassed to play it in front of other people

this looks better on pc than I remember it looking on ps3 but everyone is still wearing pajamas

ah the ol “bad bioware hand rig” charm

she

I do like morrigan’s design, absurd shirt and all

I forgot how much they say the word “taint” in this game

The king :( Duncan :(

SHE

what should I name the dog. what goes well with pickles

I’m unequipping morrigan’s staff from now on she is a brawler

this female warden voice is the same as the human voice in gw2 :]

mfw Leliana

DIALOGUE GLITCH JUST HAPPENED

Leliana: it was as if the Maker stretched out His hand to say *alistair voice* “OoOoh I am the princess of knives, stabbity stab stab”

I like how Sten is telegraphed as being the gruff, standoffish character but after just one conversation with him immediately after recruiting I've got him like

Everyone Will Love my Pickle or else

u ok mate

pickle.............

why does everyone in ferelden have a torture pit in their cellar

SHALE!!!

my god I forgot how much I love shale

I like that the canon excuse for why shale isn’t a 10 foot tall golem is cause her former master literally chiseled her down until she was person sized (so bioware wouldn’t have to make an actual sized golem companion work lmao)

nice

I’m doing the circle tower now. the first time I played this game I got confused by the wording of dialogue choices and accidentally killed wynne and then saved the game like a dumdum. let’s do better this time

I’m not feeling all these friggin skills today I’m gonna play as the dog for a while

oh god this is the part with the fade isn’t it...

lmao dog doesn’t resist at all it just thumps down to sleep immediately GHERKIN YOU ARE NOT HELPING ME

game crashed still in the fade HHGGHB

it’s cullen! woah! hey your voice acting has gotten a whole lot more pleasant since this game

ok I got wynne *puts an ugly hat on her as an act of dominance*

Zevran just called Warden Pickle a "deadly sex goddess"

lmao Pickle hold it together girl

ohh no I led alistair on by accident... he gave me a flower and said I’m pretty... I feel bad

here he is

leliana confronted pickle about two timing on her with alistair but there wasn’t a dialogue option for “babe I’m sorry I just gave him a compliment by accident and now he thinks we’re married”

I’m going to haven now. I remember this part being weird but I didn’t pay any attention to all the andrastian stuff the first time i played so maybe it’ll be fine this time

Dragons! :D

wow i love super smash bros ultimate feat. ridley

haha monty python reference

things are getting a little crazy in the temple of sacred ashes

PICKLE'S BUBBLE BUTT HJGFJ

approaches the sacred ashes of andraste while scissor sisters plays quietly in the background

urgh I gave zevran his boots gift, I forgot how cute he can be sometimes

once you learn a little about character modeling you start to notice that thing where every character is wearing a scarf or necklace in order to hide the neck seam

T__T

who do I give this statue I found in a pile of dragon poo to? alistair?

everyone's faces as Pickle is casually dumping a dead body down the well in denerim isKILLING ME

is wynne's love advice always so... pessimistic??? she basically just told pickle she might want to consider dumping leliana because grey wardens are too, uh, killable to be in a stable relationship

like I said I accidentally killed wynne when I first played this years ago so all her stuff is brand new to me lol
I would've liked to see what she says about zevran

pickle is actually starting to look cute to me

npc: and what’s your name
pickle: pickle
npc: ugh elven names are such a mouthfull

NUG CUTE

leliana’s prodding vs. morrigan’s smug athiesm is starting to annoy me fsdfjs but I need leliana’s lockpicking and morrigan’s dps

-dwarf deals me contraband lyrium to deliver to mage’s circle
-immediately tell the dwarf I sold it, kill him & loot 50g off his corpse
-sell lyrium to random merchant for 12g
-go to mage’s circle & somehow deliver lyrium even tho I already sold it, get 50 more g for nothing

this isn’t a bug, pickle is just THAT good of a negotiator

OH HELL YES BIOWARE GIVE ME THE EMBARRASSING CUTSCENE

WE JUST GONNA DO THIS OUTSIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF CAMP WHERE ALL OUR FRIENDS HANG OUT OK

YEAH GET IT PICKLE

hhodfhofghrourvbobdiglsflsdjvldiubvleksbvleisubl

*wakes up in a full suit of armor*

aside from the fact that all those cutscenes are absolutely wooden and unsalvageably embarrassing to watch they still hugged at the end and I had a little bit of aww feelings for that. Also leliana said she feels safe with pickle and that's.... awwwwww

why did they make shale’s butt like that

why

time for. the deep roads

oh come ON, this is the DEEP roads I refuse to believe there's a SHAFT OF LIGHT coming in here

life’s too short not to play this shit on easy mode

I like zevran. right now he is rustling shale’s jimmies by talking about reproduction

mm. could do with less spider jumpscares

hey it's archie

ok lord. enough of that. get me out of the deep roads PLEASE.

I sure am glad that even though branka has been alone down in the deep roads among cannibals and darkspawn for like 2 years her eye makeup still looks fresh

the other golems don't have juicy butts

oh my god pickle wingmanning for oghren somehow didn’t disaster

I love the sign for the gnawed noble tavern

fighting these identical quintuplets all named Torturer

!!!

yeah pickle's butt is still funny

I'm letting the dog take control of the rescue effort.

fuck work

hey guess what! zevran’s butt is clipping through his armor. alright

I’m reloading the beginning of the rescue mission and choosing different companions to bring along to see what they do. if you bring sten the guards basically attack you on sight lol

if you bring leliana and either morrigan or wynne then they go in cognito as chantry sisters and have special dialogue (morrigan fails at this disguise and causes combat)

if you take zevran and oghren then they are disguised as circus performers. i’m so happy

landsmeet time

hmm! time to kick anora into a garbage can

lmao I'm sorry alistair... I'm sorry the game isn't giving me any encouraging dialogue options for you

I really like alistair and I don’t like anora, and I Don’t want to make him marry her cause ugh god imagine, but I do think anora’s experience ruling is legit and alistair might just make a better figurehead w/ the royal blood connection

I know it’s the game and I’m playing the main character but sometimes I’m like HGGGHH WHY ARE THEY MAKING ME CHOOSE THESE THINGS AND MOVE MY FRIENDS AROUND LIKE CHESS PIECES

also it seems I missed the opportunity to harden alistair’s attitude earlier so I just feel extra bad making him do stuff while he’s too cinnamonroll to understand

and I’d planned on having him do the yucky ritual with morrigan cause I wanna see her kid in inquisition this time round. i just feel so bad but i couldn’t do that to him AND make him marry anora

but the result is now he has to rule by himself. ugh he’ll hate it and might very well be bad at it. i don’t remember what I did the first time I played

sweet little warden pickle appreciation speech

the only one to talk about poop during their goodbye speech gets 100 points from pickle

THIS IS FOR KNOCKING OUT MY DOG IN THE FINAL BATTLE

PUT SHALE IN DA4

highly inappropriate

oh I'm glad. I was worried

alright! that's a wrap on that! next up is Awakening I suppose, which I'd started in the past but never finished.
