Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM
The First Blight occurred shortly after the (purported) corruption of the Golden City by the Tevinter Magisters and led to the Imperium's collapse. It was two centuries long, and saw the creation of the Grey Wardens an the Golems.

The Fifth Blight, which happened about 1300 years later, lasted a little over a year and was relatively a non-event (as far as Urthumiel turning into an archdemon and ravaging the greater part of a nation can be called such).


I'm a lore geek. :P


I knew that it wasn't the First, don't know why I wrote that.

I sorta loved the references to that in 2... townspeople (who didn't like the Fereldens anyway) positing that the Blight never actually happened and was just a Barbarian plea for sympathy.

Bioware: Neglecting the Straight Male Gamer Kronin al'Sulc - 03/04/2011 11:15:30 PM 1739 Views
I think the OP is full of shit. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:23:28 AM 936 Views
Having Anders get pissed at you when you won't sleep with him is stupid. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:35:58 AM 962 Views
I'm not disappointed much, but that's because I had low standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:47:22 AM 886 Views
I must say, my BGII character is a woman... Legolas - 04/04/2011 10:18:46 PM 866 Views
yah, definitely. that's pretty much WHY I have low romance standards LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 11:58:50 PM 845 Views

If that dude wasn't into Merrill, than he's a fag. *NM* Dan - 04/04/2011 01:28:55 AM 556 Views
They're neglecting the gamer demographic in DA2. Sexuality has nothing to do with it. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 01:33:45 AM 885 Views
yah they were pretty empty. The only reason I'm not irritated is that at least they're completed. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 01:50:54 AM 910 Views
Don't worry; you'll be able to get it as overpriced DLC installments! *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 03:03:24 AM 413 Views
YES!!! That just makes me feel so much better!!! *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 03:34:12 AM 370 Views

So, not a fan? Dannymac - 04/04/2011 06:15:21 AM 960 Views
No. I haven't even finished because I'm so bored. Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:49:14 AM 895 Views
They could have done a LOT more with all the in-city strife. LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 02:32:11 PM 859 Views
I don't feel bad paying for it, solely cause I never paid for DA1 *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 10:01:43 PM 467 Views

As far as excuses for developer laziness go, that's a pretty poor one. Ghavrel - 10/04/2011 12:02:23 AM 815 Views
Yah this is what I was talking about. The repeat of tunnel systems in totally unrelated areas. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:32:11 PM 386 Views
It's not an excuse. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:36:45 PM 902 Views
Re: It's not an excuse. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:06:11 PM 853 Views
No, it's not that they keep coming... LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 05:38:30 PM 836 Views
Re: No, it's not that they keep coming... Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:41:30 PM 858 Views
...did you even read my main post in this thread? Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 07:08:31 PM 849 Views
It's not like I said they broke the game for me LadyLorraine - 11/04/2011 07:40:23 PM 938 Views
Something I wonder then: Why is it called Dragon Age "2"? Zalis - 04/04/2011 03:06:46 PM 902 Views
Pretty much. EA likes to churn out franchises. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 07:41:57 PM 380 Views
Huh? Dannymac - 08/04/2011 04:59:49 PM 903 Views
Penny Arcade had a good post on this topic recently beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 09:39:21 PM 1307 Views
Point of fact: in DA: O you're fighting the Fifth Blight, not the First. Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 10:10:17 PM 967 Views
Yeah seriously, the Fifth Blight was pretty lame in retrospect beetnemesis - 11/04/2011 04:01:03 AM 875 Views
That's pretty much true. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 04:08:48 AM 846 Views
Wow, yeah, you're right. Dannymac - 11/04/2011 06:43:40 PM 902 Views
I've actually liked the combat in most Bioware games beetnemesis - 04/04/2011 10:46:12 PM 965 Views
I think the fact that most NPC possibilities go either way is kind of weird. Zalis - 04/04/2011 05:41:04 AM 1011 Views
Zevran was really the main one that would hit on you no matter what. Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 06:13:04 AM 1049 Views
saying Zevran is kind of a slut... LadyLorraine - 04/04/2011 06:14:54 AM 838 Views
On a general note, what annoys me... Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 07:19:32 AM 848 Views
In fairness to Bioware, in this game you get different bonuses for "rivalry." *NM* Ghavrel - 04/04/2011 08:50:29 AM 410 Views
Oh, that's nice. Fanatic-Templar - 04/04/2011 09:45:21 PM 864 Views
I will let you know when the game comes down to less than 20 bucks... MightyYT - 04/04/2011 07:50:06 AM 828 Views
Yea, the times I do play this game just gives me a longing for DA *NM* Kronin al'Sulc - 04/04/2011 09:58:03 PM 485 Views
That's just bullshit Fox and Ravens - 04/04/2011 06:42:14 PM 834 Views
i bet he still initiated all his romances Foxhead - 05/04/2011 10:42:40 PM 866 Views
