What are your most memorable kills?

I think it was when I killed the Vinsomer on Nightmare the first time. I even captured it on video. It wasn't as flawless as I had planned but it was a great achievement for me because that dragon is quite a tough one with its electricity rings and having to pause to dispel them with magic or Cass. I had it all planned out, the strategy I was going to use and so forth and it went somewhat or nothing at all like that, but I beat it in the end.

I just got back into playing a few weeks ago, played a normal save to start, loaded up an unfinished Nightmare save I had from Jan '17. I did absolutely no planning or prep to fight the Vinsomer and I beat it by the skin of my teeth, but I remember the thrill of killing it on that difficulty the first time.

I also met with the Highland Ravager last night, well, I'll just say that one didn't go so smoothly, lol.

My first time killing the Archdemon in Origins, I didn't realize I'd be sent back to the camp after I killed the Archdemon. So I'd thought I'd have to strip my companions during the Final Battle if I wanted to keep their gear during Awakening.

Which meant I stripped Sten during the battle so I could keep his gear. I think I did it while he was striking the final blow against the Archdemon.

The Fereldan Frostback. The other dragon fights were a breeze, but with that one I had only just started to get into Knight Enchanter and it was really touch and go. Companions "died" pretty fast, but I just about held on.

Actually beating Ser Cauthrien in Denerim whilst rescuing Anora in Dragon Age Origins. On my first playthrough of the game I lost to her and ended up having to do the whole 'escape from the tower' side quest with my original female Surana elf mage. The second playthrough, this time as a sword/shield wielding warrior female Cousland I had a plan though I expected it to fail. As soon as the fight began I abandoned my companions and ran back into Anora's room where only Cauthrien herself and two soldiers followed me. Between my tanky abilities and a whole lot of healing potions ect I was able to kill them. After that it was just a case of luring the other soldiers back one by one until only the archers were left. At which point I ran across the room and used the kinda mini-nooks there to keep the other archers off me while I picked off the one in front of me. One by one, until they were all dead. Needless to say although this was done at normal difficulty, I was rather pleased with myself.

The Arishok fight in DA2 was particularly memorable for me. My first playthrough I opted for a duel which largely involved using my Mabari pet as a distraction/tank and kiting him between lobbing spells at him. In my second playthrough (again as a female mage Hawke) I felt much more comfortable with DA2's combat system and had developed a real hatred of the Qunari so I deliberately didn't get enough friendship/rivalry with Isabela so she didn't come back, then I just fought the Arishok and his fellow Qunari in a straight fight. It was.... tricky and again I had to take advantage of the layout at some points but I managed it. (My rationale was that Isabela escaping with the tome meant the Qunari wouldn't be retrieving it anytime soon. No precious artifact book for them, and the more Qunari my Hawke could kill the better.)

In DAI it was killing my first dragon. Not sure of its name but its the one on the Storm Coast. Killed all my companions quick and I had a devil of a time soloing it by kiting it around the battlefield. Still it was a good feeling once I finally brought it down. Typically I don't like killing the dragons and usually only kill one plus Hakkon in each playthrough.

The Nightmare demon at the end of the Fade sequence deserves an honourable mention since I remember it vividly though it wasn't especially hard.

The..... guardian.... thing you encounter at the end of the Descent DLC. Oh. My. Maker. I just couldn't figure out how to kill that thing! I thought my playthrough of DAI would end right there and then! At least until I read a guide mentioning that if you position yourself on the extreme edge of the battlefield in one specific spot the boss couldn't actually reach you with any of his attacks. As a female mage Lavellan I just stood there and slooooooowly whittled down his health until he finally died. Obviously in other playthroughs it'll be one of the mage or rogue companions jammed into that spot. Not honourable I know, but I couldn't see any other path to victory.

Murder knifing Anders.

Every kill I made when I played DA:I on Nightmare with all the trials active. That was a rough play through and every time I survived an encounter it felt like a glorious achievement.

Killing Iron Bull in my first game of Inquisition in Trespasser. He was my romance and I didn't save the Chargers. Low and behold, the event in Trespasser. I couldn't let that betrayal stand and made sure my character personally killed him.

Cutting Beraht's head off.

Cutting Vaughan's head off.

Watching Fenris shove his hand through Danarius's throat.

Mostly just decapitating rapists. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My first fight with the heart-rock-lyrim-thing in the Descent. HOO BOY. I was playing on fricking normal, my party wiped, but I was playing as a Chaaaampion so soloed the damn thing. Took the better part of 20 minutes, but I. Took. It. Down.

2 versions of the fight vs Highland Ravager.

In one of my early games, the dragon took out my whole party except for Blackwall, then when he finally whittled her down to almost no health, she put up full guard again so he had to start all over. Finally got her, but the fight took a good long time. I don't remember my class or the difficulty level I had on that game.

In a later game, I defeated her so quickly she didn't even have time to call her babies. I felt bad, and kinda disappointed, so I upped the difficulty from Hardcore to NM to fight her again. She still went down way too fast and it kinda ruined the experience for me. I was playing Artificer that game.

Hard in terms of heartbreaking or in terms of whenwilludieusunoboitch?

I don't like murder knifing ANY of the companions in terms of heartbreak.

Of all 3 games, I find DA2 combat the hardest, so all bosses there usually make me die at least once every playthrough. Arishok is probably hardest.

Ser Cauthrien during save Anora quest (but not before Landsmeet). I suspect she wasn't meant to be defeated at all by game design since your Warden lands on their butt in Ford Drakon regardless.

DAI Jaws of Hakkon have higher difficulty than the game, and dragons are hard, including JH dragon boss (though that ice guy before dragon is nasty bum too).
