What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

I recruited everyone else and started working in the rumors. DA2 is the only game where I want to romance someone else besides my canon. For a moment there, I actually thought about not re-doing my canon and go with Anders. Then I met Isabela and I thought the same thing. But then I talked to Fenris and it all went away, can't resist him It's a pity though, I like Anders and Isabela romances a lot

Also, I'm thinking that having played the game like a thousand times, maybe I should for once try to play it on nightmare but the truth is I'm afraid of friendly fire, I'm awful at managing friendly fire I always try to use the healing aura the least possible so that I can spend most of the time throwing fire all around and I try to get every item that gives me extra fire damage, I can't imagine that playstile would go well iin nightmare In DAO there's a lot of places that turn out to be quite appropriate to cast SotC, big rooms with small entrances, and there's also paralysis explosion for those times where there's no bottleneck to take advantage of, but I'm not so sure about how well would that kind of thing work in DA2? I guess I could also try to get every item that grants fire resistance and stuff them with fire resistance runes? For Fenris at least, he's my tank. I could also go full healer/support, not very exciting but maybe fun in its own way. The thing is, what if after all I still can't manage nightmare, what the hell do I do with all the fire resistance stuff or all my healing/support spells?  

I agree so much about how everything in DA2 feels familiar and make you feel home in a very unique way, and I love it too, and I was also thinking yesterday while I was playing that they might took it too far, but it makes sense that you go back to the same locations time and again, I love that DA2 is a game that moves more in time than in space.

Its narrative structure helps a lot too, I think, no overarching race to save the world plotline, just some relevant events vaguely connected to each other, just like you're living your life and things happen. And great for secondary quest integration, IMO. In DAO, side-quest don't hurt much because you can complete most of them while doing main quests, it might seem silly take some time to chase nugs for a guy when the Blight is waiting, but they're right there, after all, you don't usually have to go out of your way to do them. But in DA2 they fit perfectly, they're just the things Hawke was doing between big event A and big event B, and they add depth to your life in Kirkwall. Oh, well, what don't I love about DA2?
