Dammit Hans, you make me want to play that again. I remember the days of yore, of my nigh unbeatable Blood Mage/Spirit Healer class combo, of the legendary spell combo Storm of the Century that killed all my party members and everything else on the map every time I used it. I remember my batshit insane Arcane Knight and my Dorf Berzerker Champion or whatever it was.
Awesome.

Blood mage? Spirit healer? Arcane knight? Dorf berzerker?
That's pretty cool.

Oddly enough, like you guys my female Mage was the only character to progress very far in that game. Every other character I ever made would run into unbeatable "random" situations on my way to any of the major locations. Like, "10 high-leveled wolves simultaneously knocking down and ravaging my party" unbeatable. Or "half a dozen orange-name rage demons strike from all directions" unbeatable. This is just out of Lothering, mind.

But Ms. Mage? Circle of Magi and that undead castle have been cleared, and we're now on the way to the Dwarves. I'm hoping that I'll finally be able to beat that darn game, though from what I hear the sequels were terribad

The sequel was Mass Effect but bad pretty bad but for one five-minute section.

I heard that the sequel was pretty much rushed out to capitalize on the success of the original Dragon Age because EA. Which isn't to imply that Origins is perfect, especially considering how stale the combat eventually got (though it definitively got revitalized a lot once the final battle started). Eh, still I got 60 some hours out of the game, so I can't really complain if it doesn't have much replay value.

I effing loved that game. You could be such a good person.

I played a dwarf noble named Ragnus. I walked up to a stall selling weapons and began to inspect the goods. Upon noticing that I was a Prince of all Dwarves, the vendor perked up and told me what an incredible honor it was to have me look at his stall and can he help me find anything and blah blah. I responded by looking up from the vendor's wares, turning to my manservant dwarfservant, and asking him why this lowborn peasant was speaking to me. My dwarfservant (Ogdin? Orkin? I'm not really sure) sharply rebuked the vendor, and I continued to browse without buying anything. Then I strutted my royal arse off to fling my completely deserved authority around elsewhere.

I later lost my royal position. This did not prevent Ragnus from being better than everyone else around him, regardless of actual social stature. Ragnus is dwarven royalty, and if the entirety of the dwarven kingdom disagrees, then they are clearly not royalty themselves. If Ragnus must take the mantle of the only true royalty in existance, then so be it... and if anyone forgets the above, he will remind you gladly and constantly henceforth.

Needless to say, his entire party hated him with an absolutely incredible passion by the end of the game. Except for Stinky the Dwarf. Those guys were best pals.

--ENDGAME SPOILER. YOU ARE WARNED.--

Ragnus flat out refused to sacrifice himself at the end, and gave the great honor of "Dying so Ragnus can continue to live" to that Alibear or Abu guy. Whatever his name was.

I guess this is a own? I certainly got enough laughs from it.

::EDIT::
Upon deigning to google, my dwarfservant's name turned out to be Gorim. Hm.

So, my elven female mage has moved up in the world; learning ancient secrets of battle magic from a gem she found in some ruins. She proceeds to equip armour Alistair was too puny to wear and run around the front lines, laughing at the pitiful corpses and their attempts to put her down (Yay forcefield: best spell ever). She proceeds to wipe the floor with an 'arcane horror' by running up to it and smacking it with her shiny; enchanted but-still-grey-iron sword a couple times (Forcefield works as a disable too, could it get any better?). Walked out of there 10 gold richer and with mighty fancy armour and weapons for everyone, even some 'massive' class armour she looted off of a revenant, which is totally going to Sten since the fatigue is ~25% and she doesn't have enough mana to do much with anyway with 10% fatigue.

Loving this arcane warrior specialisation, even if she misses every two shots out of three, because her Dex is still 10 . Got some armour that boosts that up to 13 though, which will work for now. She is also still remarkably squishy: if it wasn't for forcefield she would have died a few times over, instead of Alistair tanking the damage and unable to be healed because she is also the squad healer and is currently forcefield'ed . I think he has gone though at least 15 injury kits so far, whereas me and Morrigan combined have maybe gone though 5-6 between us. The fact that enemies are idiots and attack an immune party member makes things easier.

Game?

Dragon Age: Origins. I assume.

[Mr Space Cat]

I managed to survive 31 days before I starved to death, caught in the middle of my first winter.

I had built a campsite and an entire grove of trees around a wood perimeter of walls I had found. I had a science machine, a crockpot, two basic farmplots, three chests of stuff, and a thermometer to keep track of how close to "freeze your ass off" territory the weather got. I had even started drying rabbit meat and had several regular trapping points, although in retrospect starting to make jerky in the middle of winter was counter productive. still, it was fun trying to scrape through winter.

I probably would've made it through winter if it weren't for my bedroll apparently trying to devour me while I slept.

As a final point of awesome, in my last moments of life I managed to light my entire campsite on fire. Watching the world go up in flames from the score screen was quite satisfying.

Don't Starve

[Akura]

Took a Destroyer Droid through Mos Eisley. Got to the warehouse CP, and just started blasting clones at close range. Took half of them out before the realized I was there, the ones that were left couldn't do much against my shields. Eventually cleared out the defenders and moved onto the point, at which point some backup arrived. One tricky little Jet Trooper was on the roof, accessibly by a stairway that's vulnerable and impossible to traverse in ball mode. I simply walked up and shot him.

Looking at the minimap, I see a good-sized group of Republic soldiers closing in on the cantina. I move in to reinforce. As I arrived, more droids came in, and the clones were surrounded and quickly destroyed. They only had two CPs left, both close together. I hurry and take the far one, ripping through the Republic along the way, dying only twice along the way with short respawns in between.

One CP left, and these guys are totally surrounded, densely packed, and hemorraging reinforcements. I, another destroyer, and several lesser droids roll up and mow down almost all the survivors and take the last CP. They only have one or two guys left, and I quickly hunt them down. The battle lasted less than five minutes, and we took maybe less than 50 casualties. Kinda helps when the Jawas repair your side(and only CIS), though.

Star Wars: Battlefront.

Took the left flank towards the palace, meeting little resistance, with Count Dooku handling the middle approach, and Force knows what the hell was happening on the right. Didn't take long, however, for a massive firefight to break out in the courtyard in front of the palace. I think I helped pretty well by camping by an ammo droid and raining grenades and rockets on the Republic. Destroyed a few tanks, as well.

It seems most of the clones were focusing on Dooku, a pointless effort, giving Seperatist droids a chance to advance all over the place while Dooku just knocks down the clones with his lightsaber. It was a very short time before all resistance in front of the palace was crushed, and there were only three enemies left on the map. Two of them were ganging up on a single B2 battledroid. The B2 killed one, but was killed by his buddy, whom I killed with a rocket. The last guy decided to try to attack a tank with a blaster. I finished him off with another rocket just as the victory timer hit zero.

Well done, ser.

[Hanslanda]

I ate: The Botanist, the Chief Engineer, a Lawyer, and the other Changeling/Head of Personnel. Also, I blew up two borgs, and guided the survivors to safety for maximum mood dissonance. I stole the CMO jumpsuit, assassinated my target, and survived. Only one other Changeling did so. Funny thing? We ate the changeling that didn't want to work with us. The Changeling I ate asked me to take his cuffs off him, so I went to do so... Then stopped, holding a borg MMI with a living brain in it.
I stunned him, dragged him into the armory, and ate him, while a crewman watched over the monitors as his health dropped to nothing. Gloriously creepy. Then I put the MMI in the Security Pod and saved the survivors.

Good round.

[Mono124]

I start off one of the last battles, only to find that I have forgotten to reload the ammunition for almost all of my various machines. Without the ability to dodge any attacks, the enemy ship fires on my own, dropping it's shields and letting invaders come aboard. I rush out my 6 security and my Captain to go kill them, and before the first wave of invaders dies, 2 more board, and my ship has a few hull breaches and multiple fires. Right before I am able to dodge another missile, it hits the hallway where my security team and Captain were, and a hull breach opens up, sucking out all of the invaders, as well as 2 of my security. With my shields down, and the enemy attacking too quickly for me to put them back up, I carefully move all of my remaining crew to the port side of my ship, where the weapons are located. As soon as they arrived, I have even more invaders come aboard. As my crew battled the invaders, a missile ran straight into the hallway outside my laser cannon, cutting them off because of hull breaches, and another ran into my machine gun room, causing all the crew inside to run through the ship while on fire. The brave souls inside of the laser cannon room lost their lives that day to the invaders that were inside the room, and I lost one of my best medical officers from the machine gun room incident. As my ship was falling apart from multiple hull breaches and invaders everywhere, I fire off my machine gun one last time and blow up the enemy ship. Of my starting 12 crew, only 5 remain, and they include the Captain, 3 red shirts, an engineer, and a medical officer. I was surprised I lived, seeing as how any time my weapons rooms both get hit, it normally means complete chaos followed by game over roughly 10 seconds later as my crew run on fire through the ship and are shot to death or vented into space. I took the remaining 5 crew and stomped the last ship (probably because I only had to worry about 5 crew instead of 12... I mean, repelling invaders, keeping weapons firing, trying to dodge enemy fire, and keeping your crew alive all at once is stupid hard when you have a ton of crew and a bunch of invaders).

(Note: I don't really count my Captain as a crew member, because he has died so many times that I normally just hide him unless I'm desperate)
