Happy 10 year anniversary of the first time I ever commented on your profile!

This is me seeing if this classed as a post on a wall. I went down the Shadrun path.

In other news: I never played 2, but I heard it was ♥♥♥♥. Basically back down the ladder of awesomeness, but I'll take small victories where I can get them.

Steam never told me you commented on my profile again.

Yes, Shale was amazing and I was thorougly shocked when I found out she was female since that is rare.

As for Morrigan's clothes, yes, they could have been better. All of the female clothes could've been, though, and that's not exactly the fault of the character. That's the fault of the developers making a game for males, by males. Of all the video games I've played so far, though, DAO has a decent story with some pretty awesome writing. Still problematic, as we both know, for many reasons. However, they actually made a story I could relate to, and developed characters in a way that most people don't. They could have done so much more, and made it even better, but it's still a step in the right direction. Again, this is just the point of view of playing a female character. It really does irk me that everything seems so much worse when you play a male character.

However, they were more forgiving with her and Shale, since they were not love interests. Go figure.

Yet they portrayed her with the same body as someone half her age, and even sexualized some of her armor.

Both female characters are portrayed poorly. Leliana got angry at me for being with Alistair because she fell in love with me when I asked her about her life. I replayed that stupid conversation 5 times and each time it ended up with her falling in love with me because I ASKED about her life. However, Morrigan was a little more understandible from my point of view, and with my female character. She would get angry with me for not chosing her side because she felt she was right, but she wanted to be my friend and seemed to admire me. None of the female characters were written properly, though.

However, as a female on the internet, the quote rings true. If strangers find out I'm a woman while I'm playing a game, they either boss me around, flirt with me, or insult me. That's why I've kept it there so long.

I disagree with your statement, since I played a female character. I enjoy the quote because it pisses men off and holds true for a lot of them, but don't get me started on how the male game designers portrayed female characters when interacting with male leads. I've never played a male lead in it, so for a long time I didn't know that you basically had to be rude to her and she banged you. As a female, she seemed more shocked and confused, and it's a completely different situation.

DUDE.

I remember ya! :D How goes?

Heeeeey, who did you play on Southern Cross, if you don't mind my asking?

You are awesome.

zzzzzz
