#only played dao once cuz i fucking hated how cumbersome the battles were

[avo-kat]

i love dragon age 2, it was one of my fav games, but replaying it is like entering a time loop.

you cant change anything truly important from happening. starting the game dooms your family, dooms so many people. you know what will happen but you cant warm them. cant stop it. cant interfere. all you can do is watch the same events unfold as they always do. no amount of love or hope or strength is going to change it. are you gonna play again? flee from your home to a different country, watch one sibling die, the other suffer, wait until your mother vanishes, kidnapped by her future murderer? help your friends with what they think they need to do, but know that they wont get what they are searching for? why are you doing this? why are you tormenting yourself?

oh, right, the companions are hot. nvm, carry on.

#da2 #i actually liked the battle system #kinda mindless hack'n'slash u may have found in low quality f2p mmos #so that was familiar and nostalgic to me #just smth to occupy ur hands #only played dao once cuz i fucking hated how cumbersome the battles were #as bad as many things are #the companies were just so well done #and the pure bleakness #ur just trying to build a new life #but everything fucking goes to shit all the fucking time #and u try to pick up the pieces but more fucking bullshit keeps on happening #and then ur bf breaks up w u and everything fucking sucksss #great game i gotta replay it sometime #tho watch my ass romance fenris for the 5th time #sorry hes so pretty i end up just staring at him and forgetting everything else ok
