I don't know if the guild already has a thread like this, so I made one. Share IRL stories about how you play too much Dragon Age. Like I
+Have no posters of bands or movies in my apartment, just a giant "Dragon Age II" poster.
+Have a guitar named "Bianca".
+Had a friend tell me that she doesn't need a guide because she has me.
Or You know you've been playing too much Dragon Age when:
-You refer to oversleeping as "stuck in the Fade".
-You tell funny stories/quote your companions more than your actual friends.
-You've said "By the Maker", "Andraste's a**", etc. in public, and your friends noticed before you did.
Go. (:

-Have made letters for elves to have the same rights as humans and get them out of the alienages
-Wander through a forest and try to spot the Dalish elves or a Halla
-carved symbols onto stones and tried to craft them into tools or silverware in an attempt to make enchanted weapons

XD You know you play too much Dragon Age when you don't see why "The Circle of Magi is oppressive and should be abolished" is not an appropriate thesis for your research paper.

You know you've play too much Dragon Age when:
- You've shouted "Andraste's Knicker Weasels" and "Thunder Humper" more than once.
- You wrote a part of the Champion of Kirkwall's story line as an actual event in history report and made it sound believable.
- Whenever you hear something bad about a church on the news, you breathe "maker no" to only five seconds after remember that you're not catholic.
- When you hear someone say 'blondie' you look for Anders.

XD You know you've been playing too much Dragon Age when if a year ago you heard someone talking about Fenris you thought of this, but now when you hear someone talking about Fenris, the mental image is this. P.S.: You guys have no idea how many creepy pictures I had to wade through to find the second picture.

P.S.: You guys have no idea how many creepy pictures I had to wade through to find the second picture. actually I never thought of fenris until dragonage.. I always considered it Fenrir XD oh oh, you know you played too much dragonage when -you start hearing background music wherever you go - you look at people and see a dropdown menu - when you converse with your friends you see a list of different responses and expect them to wait forever while you choose -You insist that your friends wear the same outfit for the next ten years - you try and gain friendship and affection by spamming people with random gifts - you search every container for money

You know you play too much Dragon Age when:
-You go to a local church and look for a board to do tasks for extra money.
-You say 'sovereigns' and 'silver' when you talk about money.
-You ask where the nearest Healer is when you mean doctor.
-When you see a magician you ask 'is he an apostate? Where are the templars!?"

Most versions of the stories of Ragnarok that I've read refer to the version as "Fenrir", but the one from my mythology class refers to him as "Fenris". Depends on the translation I guess. But usually if I tell the story, I use "Fenrir" because it sounds cooler and because the other way I think of the elf.
And: You know you play too much Dragon Age when
- You're pissed when you can't reload your last save when your friend takes something the wrong way.
- You give up on a guy because there's no guide online for how to romance him/

Where are the templars!?" Oh! That reminds me! You know you play too much Dragon Age when after being told that your parents' religion considers you an apostate, your reaction is "Ooh, like Morrigan!" It's the world's fault for expecting me to take stuff seriously.

XD Nah, my parents were actually pretty cool with it. My mom jumps from one mystical fluff religion to another and my dad is pretty much a confirmed atheist since he married one, but when I was really little they were Christian, and I was baptized.
I've been an atheist since I was about twelve, but I've always been into theology and mythology, so I found out on my own that I'm technically an apostate from an article about how apostates are going to Hell. And my reaction was definitely, "No way, that's so cool."
So no one specifically told me that I'm an apostate, but I definitely thought of Dragon Age.

I'm sorry. I never understood that mentality. If you don't genuinely, sincerely believe, what's the point? What's the point of building the facade of belief in your kids through force or guilt if they don't feel it.
My dad came from a really religious family. So he was convinced that I was just going though a phase, since when he left for college, he used atheism as a way to rebel. And my mom acted like I was just going through a phase too. She likes to believe whatever makes her happy, even if it means ignoring or explaining away any of the negativity in the world so that she doesn't have to deal with it in any meaningful way. But it's been years, and my thoughts don't come from a place of angst, they come from sitting down with my thoughts, questioning, exploring, and constantly re-evaluating my view of the world.
Phase my a**...
It's gotta be a tough thing, being told that your kid doesn't believe in the thing you hold sacred. But they still love you, and hopefully realize that you can't be bullied into religion, and that's what's important, yeah?
You know you play too much dragon age when your cat scratches deep claw marks into your arm, and your first thought is "Great, now everyone's gonna think I'm a blood mage."

You know you play too much dragon age when your cat scratches deep claw marks into your arm, and your first thought is "Great, now everyone's gonna think I'm a blood mage." Personally I'm grateful they aren't extremists who actually try to force it upon me. Besides those few things, they have pretty much ignored the fact and just try to stay away from the topic. My bro, on the other hand, just keeps bringing it up, despite the fact that he has never even held the Bible in his hands... My disbelief also came from just sitting around and thinking, but also looking into the book itself and trying to look at things from e new angle, and in fact it can be a horrible, bloody book if you stop going on about how 'loving' God it. You know you play too much dragon age when you keep forgetting that Andrastrian isn't a real religion and mix it up with Christianity or Islam.
