Intrigued? Then it&#8217;s time for Mark to play <i>Dragon Age<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><b><!--more-->Hour Thirteen<\/b><\/p>\n<p>For real, so much stuff got <i>done<\/i>, y&#8217;all. Remember when I had thirty-four quests at once? I&#8217;ve whittled it down to <i>seven<\/i>. I AM AWESOME.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oh god, am I going to be able to romance Justice at some point? Once I entered the throne room at Vigil&#8217;s Keep, a cutscene was triggered where Justice reminisced about how weird it was to be in a human body, and how confusing humanity was. Ultimately, though, he was thankful for the Lyrium Ring I gave him because <i>THERE IS NO MUSIC IN THE FADE<\/i>. Well, <i>that<\/i> is heartbreaking. My approval with him is already fairly high, and he&#8217;s only been a part of my party for a couple hours.<\/li>\n<li>Velenna also expressed appreciation that I gave her that blank journal. She wants to start recording her <i>own<\/i> history to help rebuild the tradition of storytelling in the Dalish clan. That&#8217;s awesome! Except I got <i>no approval points from here. <\/i>Please stop hating me, <i>please<\/i>.<\/li>\n<li>I gifted a toy pony to Oghren, and he haphazardly approved of it because he once said he wanted a pony??? Oghren, you are so drunk <i>all the time<\/i>, I swear.<\/li>\n<li>All right, Amaranthine! I sort of missed you. Aiden <i>still<\/i> won&#8217;t talk to me, though there&#8217;s a quest arrow above his head all the time. Can I kill him just to get this over with?<\/li>\n<li>Steafan, that dude I rescued in Kal&#8217;Hirol, was also here! He was so happy to see me again, until I asked whether he was infected by the taint. Wow, he disappeared rather quickly after I brought that up.<\/li>\n<li>I earned 30 sovereigns from Mervis for taking care of the merchants in the Wending Wood! HUZZAH!<\/li>\n<li>And that&#8217;s when I realized I&#8217;d forgotten to complete THREE quests in the Wending Wood. I left Ines behind, I had more statue rubbings to complete, and I&#8217;d never gotten the sylvanwood samples for the Chantry. WHOOPS. I&#8217;ll get on it, I swear!<\/li>\n<li>Ah, the Dark Wolf is here!!! TIME TO FIND OUT WHO MY CONSPIRATORS ARE!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.markplays.net\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Screen-Shot9.png\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>L O L LOOK AT HIS FACE.<\/li>\n<li>Except I don&#8217;t. The dude <i>couldn&#8217;t determine their identities. <\/i>I gave you fifty sovereigns, you fool. You better give me their birthdates and the exact dirt road they live off of in Ferelden.<\/li>\n<li>Oh, I have to go back to Old Stark&#8217;s Farm? Butts.<\/li>\n<li>I went up to the Chantry in the hopes that Aura was there. She was! This quest was very easy to take care of, and I earned +10 points approval from Justice. It&#8217;s just my luck that I&#8217;m going to romance the one character who is a spirit existing in someone else&#8217;s body. WHATEVER.<\/li>\n<li>While I&#8217;m glad I completed them, the three remaining quests in the Wending Wood weren&#8217;t that exciting. I COULD NOT FIND THE EIGHTH STATUE FOR SO LONG. I wish I&#8217;d remembered to do this all at once.<\/li>\n<li>That finished, I traveled to Old Stark&#8217;s Farm to discover my group of traitors!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.markplays.net\/reviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Screen-Shot-119.png\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It wasn&#8217;t until they died that I got a good look at who they were.
