Game Self: Dragon Age: Origins

The next part of my continuing look at how I look in video games. This time we're looking at Dragon Age: Origins (I've now clocked 20+) and my main character. I took a different approach to this one and I decided to go with something completely different so I'm playing through the adventure as dwarven warrior who wields a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. I went all out with the dwarven thing, didn't try to make him resemble myself at all (hence the giant beard and face tattoo). It's awkward for me to play a game as someone not resembling me and it's even more dwarf. EVERYONE is taller than you and a ton of in game characters tease me for my stature and race. Sucks, but it's definitely an interesting way to play a game.

Dragon Age: Orgins = Time Suck

I'm 11 hours into Bioware's latest medieval rpg and I don't think I ever want to stop playing. One of the best games I've ever played. Currently I'm playing through the game as a dwarven warrior who was born in the slums, but I'm already planning my character for my next play-through, but it looks like it'll be awhile before I finish my character. The game is deep, has great characters, deep story, and some very dark stuff. The game looks like Fable II and plays like Baulder's Gate II. You couldn't ask for a better combination.
