Forgot

I completely forgot to post on here. I've been busy attempting to play violin (I can play a whopping 4 notes) and playing Dragon Age. I'm not really going to give a summary of it, but think of it as having the world/plot based on/ripped off of Guild Wars: Eye of the North and Final Fantasy XII, the systems of Dungeons and Dragons, and the NPC reactions of Fallout. Overall, I give it a 10/10, but it has some minor issues that bother me, but are just annoying and don't affect the game at all (like the quest to get the acorn for the rhyming tree...if you get the acorn before you know about the tree, the quest arrow never goes away -_- Another issue is that sometimes, it takes a LONG time for a corpse to allow you to loot it...which means you can wait a while to finish quests that involve killing stuff, because they don't update until the corpse can be looted...oh, and there's an annoying thing in Redcliffe where a skeleton gets stuck behind a building...it took me 20 minutes to find it...I ran around everywhere else and even left for a few minutes to see if it would update...but that quest seems to have a lot of waiting issues anyway...). So, if those annoyances DID take points off, it would still be a 9.9.

Here's a poem that summarizes how one of the bosses, the Brood Mother, came to be. It is chanted by Hespith, a member of the same royal house as the dwarf that became the Brood Mother.

First Day, they come and catch everyone.
Second Day, they beat us and eat some for meat.
Third Day, the men are all gnawed on again.
Fourth Day, we wait and fear for our fate.
Fifth Day, they return and it's another girl's turn.
Sixth Day, her screams we can hear in our dreams.
Seventh Day, she grew as in her mouth they spew.
Eighth Day, we hated as she was violated.
Ninth Day, she grins and devours her kin.
Now she does feast, as she's become the beast.

She continues it in prose after you finish talking to her, describing this person eating her husband's face. So yeah, the game is very dark. I love it.
