Show Notes

This week the ladies chat about the 2011 game, Dragon Age 2. This action-RPG from Bioware is the follow-up to the excellent Dragon Age: Origins, and it’s…kind of weird. You play as Hawke, an unlikely champion, who finds herself (or himself) embroiled in the messy city politics of Kirkwall, and classic mage/templar drama. We discuss the easiest guild initiation, indulging blood mages, casual demon possession, pirate girlfriends, angsty elf companions, and the longest 6 years EVER.
