I was trying to get a shot of Rook, but she looked a bit derpy at the front, meanwhile this is what's behind her 😍

DAO.

I love the main story, but the combat, washed out colour palette, non-main quest music and recruitment quests aren't fun for me.

And some of the banter is too icky for my tastes. (Please stop talking about Wynne's boobs and my Warden & Ali banging 😭💀)

Yep, mine is basically full paragon in 1, a mix in 2 and paragon in 3 (with exceptions for things like that Kai interrupt).

I can't play arsey characters - I feel too sad about being mean 😅

Realising I've written 4000+ words on "why I need an autism assessment" to give to my GP (😅) and I could probably achieve the same result by telling him what I've been doing on my time off - playing Stardew Valley, watching Stardew Valley videos and making notes from the wiki 🤣

Me, clicking on an article which is asking which game is better, AC:Shadows or GoY: 🤨

Me, after reading the article: "oooo, that won't be a popular conclusion 😅"

You do!

Half the reason I was so keen to get people playing it back during release was so they wouldn't get spoiled - it's SUCH an amazing experience! 😍

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 1579: If you’re going to write in any genre (children’s fiction, SFF, romance, etc), you need to read EXTENSIVELY in that genre. You need to read current authors in the genre. You need to know what’s been done; what tropes exist; how the genre has changed.
