I’ve played a mage before, my first Dragon Age run through was as a mage. But I didn’t choose any of the smartass conversation options at the early stages. I’m finding my new one to be much for fun with some attitude.
When you start out as a mage, you are in a tower, with other mages. You’ve just passed you big test to become a full mage from apprenticehood, and your friend Jowan is whining that he hasn’t had his test yet. Now, I can’t stand Jowan. He whines through the whole Origin. And when you tell him you can’t discuss your test with him he gets in a snit “so much for friendship” he says.
THEN, he has the nerve to tell you he’s in a forbidden love affair with a chantry initiate. To explain, she’s basically a nun in training. The chantry is the church in this game. So he wants YOUR help to run away with her. But mages are not allowed out of the tower, so he knows he’s asking you to break your own vows, and risking YOUR life in fact. Yeah, friend my foot.
I refused to help, the first enchanter knew about the conversation, and asks you to help anyhow, in order to catch them both red handed. Mainly because the chantry initiate would get away with it if not caught in the act, while the mage would be punished. So, I did it.
Basically you help, you get him through the storage room, he destroys his phylactery (the only way a mage can be tracked when they escape), you lead them back to the hall and poof they’re busted and you’re exposed as helping get them in trouble.
You meet Jowan later, and my first time I apologized to him and gave him a break. THIS time however, I was less sympathetic. The conversation had me laughing out loud.
He goes on to tell him I OWE him, but the video would be too long if I included that. OWE him, yeah, right. the first enchanter wouldn’t have SUSPECTED anything if he hadn’t seen this dimwit approach you, after already observing he was acting oddly.
My husband is on his first play through and has also chosen a mage. He really hates that guy. He really wants to just kill him (or arrange his death by multiple choice). I don’t know that I will play as I have only been playing WoW for almost 2 years and still am addicted to it to the exclusion of most other games. Except for Bayonetta which with its cheesy storyline and dialog I find very entertaining since I get to shoot guns from my boots and walk like a busty model. ( I am not a hunter in WoW or anything….okay yes I am). A very combo move game but come on, my outfit is my hair. Absurd and fun and my kids can’t take it over because it is beyond inappropriate for them (they are 9 and 6) which is probably another reason I like it – because they cannot play it.
Hey, but I did help him cross some annoying walkway that everyone had to stand in the right spots to get the stones to light up so someone could walk across.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time with your hubby.
Jowan is deefinitely an insta-hate kind of guy. I wanted to choke him the minute he spoke…lol
