"I can't say my relationship with my parents is particularly abusive, but I certainly wish I could get away from them for quite a while. In fact, I think that the few months away from them I've got (And the subsequent months after being so long without them) have made me feel a lot better about my folks than being constantly together has."
I can understand that. I feel the same way myself. It's just that "completely despise" seems rather overblown and maybe a little selfish for the level of strife involved. I say selfish because I used to be like that before I attempted to be more considerate of others.
Also fuck you Alex. It's not New Year's Day until it is... IN AMERICA!
point, but it's still wearisome.
My character died at the end ;-;
I made the people of Redcliffe happy with their lives. The city elves have new hope, with their leader appointed to the Council and Shianni or whoever being their new leader. There is finally peace between the Dalish and the humans, and the Dalish have been granted land of their own. The common folk are happy, too, as Alistair travels around and makes them all happy. The Circle is finally on its' way to recovery, and all the spirits in the Tower have been banished. The Grey Wardens have an outpost to call their own, and recruitment can begin again on that end.
The dwarves, on the other hand, have isolated themselves further underground. Herrowmont died, and a new civil war is brewing among them. The Darkspawn have retreated, but the most powerful of them still roam the land, and it is proving very difficult to kill them. Many of my companions don't know what to do with themselves after the fight- Sten returns to his homeland and is promoted and actively kills lots of humans; Oghdwarfperson makes a nuisance of himself at various taverns; Wynne announces that she is travelling and is never seen again; and Leliana composes a ballad, sings it once, and then receives a vision and disappears. Her last words to a maid are "I can see my love again."
It's a very... bittersweet ending. I've made the world a better place for some, but I've made it even worse for others. Worse, many of the people that I cared about over the course of the game don't receive particularly happy endings. My character is dead, killing the Archdemon so that Alistair could remain King, as he needs to to prevent a war of succession, and even that is only a temporary solution as Alistair will die eventually of the Taint himself. The Magi are still tightly controlled by the Chantry, the Elves aren't exactly free themselves, the Dwarves are isolated and fighting amongst themselves, and the humans are happy now, but that may not last beyond the current generation of rulers.
As my cousin put it, it was eleven hours of waiting (I killed a few of them by playing Final Fantasy and walking, unlike everyone else who just lay there for most of it) for 12 minutes of fucking fireworks. I haven't been impressed by fireworks since I was 12. This was followed up by about two fucking hours trying to get into Wynyard station to get on the train to go home, since the jackboots who run the place have no idea how to handle crowds. Thank god the police turned up when they did, because the crowd (I'm not kidding when I say there were probably over 20,000 people on that street, and at least 5,000 in that crowd alone) was starting to get nasty.
The whole thing was a colossal fucking waste of time, made significantly worse by the fact that I missed my boyfriend on one of the few times he gets spare these days.
Now to find a job.
The werewolves I turned into humans are good, at least.
Course, now that I've traded my 360 in for a PS3, I would have to start over for maybe the fifth time. . . . Screw that. I'll go with Catherine, Bayonetta, Tekken 6, or BlazBlue, or something first; I especially don't want to start it coming off of Skyrim.
Because I was engrossed in the story ;-;
In fact, I was up at 1:30 playing. I only went to bed because I ragequit after dying for the fifth time in front of Fort Drakon in the final battle :V fucking dragon thralls :v
