I finished my first storyline in Dragon Age Origins. I got to the end, with my jaw on the floor the whole time. I figure I’m safe talking about my ending, since unless I reveal my exact choices , no two endings are ever the same.

As we know, Jessmyn the elf mage was involved with Alistair. Of course they couldn’t marry, her being a mage and not a noble. Double damned as it were. They went on to defeat evil, and see him become king. Jessmyn became his Chancellor, and he stayed by her side until he was called to rebuild the Gray Wardens. Not a bad ending for those two.

But, I want to see more endings and more beginnings. So I’m now playing a human rogue named Tessa. A noble. The origin story was way better than the Magi origin. Holy cow, was it emotionally charged. Hell half the game is. And believe me, the whole lead up to the end will have you sucked right in. Anyhow, She’s completed Ostagar and is doing her thing, and of course…is involved with Alistair.

I was telling my husband this yesterday, about the romance options and such and how Alistair’s sarcastic, silly, smartass nature reminds me of him. I’m pretty sure he thinks I’m nuts. But it’s true. They share alot of the same qualities. Including…one that made me drop my jaw in shock.

See when Hubby is home, and I do something he deems questionable, he has…the eyebrow. He is one of those people that can lift one eyebrow. It drives me NUTS. So I’m running around, killing bad guys and we stop as we see the big Ogre and I forget just what Alistair said…but I remember the look I got with my response!

He totally eyebrowed me!!!

Let me start off with, even though there is nothing shown other than faces and shoulders. You’ve been warned, this is the continuation of the kiss pictures yesterday. Also, depending on what you consider a “Spoiler”, there may be one. I’m not sure. I don’t think there is but continue at your own risk if you’re just starting Dragon Age. There are no story parts involved, just screenshots and my opinion.

When we last left Jessmyn and Alistair…they had their first kiss. I was buying stock in Kleenex and all was well.

Well as of late last night, she managed to seduce him…

I have watched movies, and read books with equally moving love scenes. However DA manages to do it with pure romance, and tenderness…no body parts shown. Just shared looks, and wonderful music, in a cut scene. You only see the cut scene the first time. Luckily I had Fraps running.

Again…reduced to mush…

Look…he even watches her sleep!

Bioware has done an awesome job with this game. I’ve been a die hard WoW fan for three years, but even I find myself saying “Man, if only Blizz could do that…” while I play through my story. And that’s the great thing. This post, doesn’t really give away ANY story, except my own player character’s.  I love that in the middle of the bigger story, she gets to have her own, based solely on her choices.

And frankly how could she not choose Alistair…he’s like LITERALLY a knight in Shining Armor. Or umm…without in this case. /giggle
