    Show Me Your Inquisition Face

    Llewelyn Trevelyan, Circle Mage~ I wanted him to look like something of a sheltered pretty boy. He constrasts nicely with Dorian.

    Dragon Age Inquistion players: How do you feel Bioware handled Dorian?s sexual orientation?

    I enjoyed Dorian's quest a lot, actually. Mainly because it was the first time I've heard of blood magic being used for something evil in a way that I can relate to. Sure, Danarius put those tattoos on Fenris and the Magisters barged into the Golden City, blah blah blah. I have no reference...

    Do you prefer "on the road" or "stronghold" RPGs?

    On some deep psychological level, I like knowing my character has somewhere to go home to, curl up with a nice book, and nap in safety, so I guess I'd go for Stronghold. That said, it doesn't have to be a literal Stronghold like Skyhold. I'd be happy with a little cottage or a nice cave. I'm...

    GLaDOS and The Sniper Join Up To Support GaymerX2

    I knew someone was going to post something like this. It shouldn't matter whether or not it's necessary. If the gay community wants their own convention, where they don't have to worry about listening to people calling each other 'faggots' or being all enraged that Anders hit on them once...

    J.K. Rowling's Solicitor Fined For Cuckoo's Calling Reveal

    I think people are missing the point. He's a solicitor. It's his job to keep confidential information a secret. He failed to do that, and so he was ordered to pay damages to JK Rowling - the client whose information he let slip. I don't see anywhere in the article that states she went out of her...

    What do you actually ENJOY about games and why?

    I like having to earn my story. Games aren't like books and movies which essentially hand the story directly to you with very little effort on your part. You have to work to find out what happens next with games, and I like that.

    An interesting difference between men and women

    I'm a woman who prefers to discuss my problems without actively looking for a solution and I used to run into communication breakdowns all the time... with my ex-girlfriend. I don't know if this has anything to do with gender but I reckon it could possibly be skewed in a male-female pattern, I...

    Poll: Whitewashing, yay!!!

    To be honest, changing a character's race, does bother me. I don't know anything about this film or the book, but that doesn't matter. I'm a writer. My characters and their identities are important to me. If someone came along and made an adaption of one of my stories, changing my character's...

    Collaborative Thought Experiment: what would a game targeted at Anita Sarkeesian look like?

    As a woman, I'd play the hell out of this and then some. I always wondered what a game like TLoU would look like with the genders switched.

    Poll: Should surrogacy be available for fertile, straight couples.

    I voted no. While I'm not going to advocate for fertile straight couples being banned from using surrogacy, I don't think they should. I feel like it would be very selfish and self-absorbed on their part. Not enough people are adopting children as it is. In my eyes, getting someone else to give...

    Poll: It's not gay if...

    It doesn't depend on your definition of 'gay'. It depends on your definition of 'enjoy'. If you enjoy it physically, which is to say, you have an orgasm, that doesn't 'make it gay'. If, however, you find the act mentally and emotionally stimulating, then I would be inclined to think your...

    The littlest or weirdest thing that has made you want to play a game

    Ah, Far Cry 3. Yeah, that's another. It wasn't on my radar until I saw Vaas, decided he was hot, and found his particular brand of crazy appealing in the trailers. I think all this happened the day before the game was released.

    The littlest or weirdest thing that has made you want to play a game

    I bought the first Mass Effect because the first Bioware game I played (Jade Empire) had gay romance in it and I was hoping Mass Effect would too. I spent my entire first playthrough desperately trying to make my Dude!Shep woo Kaiden. I was disappointed when it didn't happen but it all turned...

    something that bothers me about "last of us" (spoiler free)

    I think it makes sense that Joel wouldn't use flaming arrows. I mean, he reuses them as long as they don't break on impact. I can't see why he'd deliberately go out of his way to make them unusable by setting them alight or making them explode. It's not something a survivalist would do...

    What's the most you've cried at a fictional character's death?

    Yes, this. I still cry each time zi watch it. I go in being all prepared for it and then suddenly I'm sobbing again. For me, it's probably the last death in The Walking Dead game. If you've played it, you know what I mean. First time through that scene I could barely make out the dialogue...
