Kintsugi Plays Dragon Age 2 (a winner is me!)

(I think this is the appropriate subforum?)



Hello friends! Welcome to Dragon Age 2!


(Here are some people staring at each other. Very foreboding.)

I've finally figured out how the hell to take screenshots (fairly) quickly on a Windows computer, and at the moment there's no one competing with me to use the family PC, SO. Let's do this.


(Have they not updated the scrolling text at the bottom.. ever? Idk, "one of 2012's most anticipated games" makes me laugh.)



"The Champion's rise to power is shrouded in mystery, but no one questions the Champion was at the heart of events that would change the world."
(That's us!!!)


Dear Kintsugifolk, you are faced with your FIRST CHOICE: Class and gender. Iiii can't play a warrior very well because I can't handle managing aggression or switching modes, so warriors are probably out? However, if you think it would be amusing to see me flail around dying a lot, feel free to vote for it.

Mages: Most plot repercussions - being a mage is a Big Political Issue in Thedas. Spells! Healing, buffs, hella damage, BLOOD MAGIC if you're into that.
Warriors: Big swords or sword-and-shield, tend towards tanking, Beat Shit Up straightforwardly.
Rogues: Backstabbing and stealth and so on. Uh, I think also poisons and traps and stuff? :? Bows, or daggers.

Go forth and vote!

 

Alright, it has not been very long but there is a strong majority in favor of......

(drumroll please)
(although it's not much of a surprise)



(Stay tuned, folks, there's a cutscene and I'm trying to figure out how to screencap it. :I)

 

(Do you know what I'm going through for you, Kintsugi? I tried to email myself a video and accidentally saw an email about a Christmas present that was supposed to be a surprise. TRAGEDY STRIKES.

Anyway, meanwhile in DA2: a handsome dwarf, an angry woman, a portentous conversation.)






(This COOL AND HANDSOME STRANGER is slammed into a chair. Someone ominously runs her gauntleted hand over a book. Your humble chronicler struggles with weird glitchy artifacts appearing in her video.)



(SEE THOSE WEIRD RECTANGLES BEHIND HER, yrs truly hisses angrily.)

 

(He's looking sadly at the impaled book.)

(Yr humble screenshot-taker is swooning just a little.)

 

BADASS.

 

HELL YEAH.

 

Who's this dude??

 

>OH GOD OH GOD I'M USED TO PLAYING DA:I
>RUN AWAY


See this is why people are scared of mages


>Kintsugi: Pick a dialog option
_?

 

i'm voting for purple hawke because: purple hawke forever.

also it's hilarious to imagine how infuriated carver is by sad clown sister.

 

"Neither can they."

 

>_?

 

I'll deal with them
i'm sorry man, but for all your plate armor you still look wimpy, let hawke handle this :P

 

Carver glitches unsettlingly in response.


Oh my god it got worse look at his eyes


Pictured: Hawke summoning the eldritch glitchpowers that apparently run in her family. (I genuinely have no idea why this is happening - it's not in the game when I play it, just in the video I recorded.)

Not pictured: Hawke and Carver mowing through a bunch of darkspawn.


Aw shit a cutscene triggered

Aw shit it's a big ogre!!!!




JK, Hawke siblings kill the heck outta ogres. No Hawke sibling has ever had trouble with ogres.

 

Thx Carver



Wait what's that noise!!

 

(Your humble screenshot taker is about ready to flip her shit over these weird glitches.)
