Dragon Age Inquisition free on Epic right now

Probably part of the run up to the announcement and release of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. In any case, I'm happy to spread the word because a free version of Dragon Age: Origins in the same year DAI was released is how I found the franchise.

How much should I care about news?
  • For the last several months I reduced my news intake and unfollowed a lot of stress-inducing accounts on social media. I have been happier and more relaxed. Can recommend.

  • Cute bat
  • You don't. You can do research on working in wildlife rehab, but you'll likely need special training, permits, and loads of vaccinations.

  • Rodeo
  • Why is 'funny' filled with people allowing their animals to be annoyed or even injured? It's not funny.

  • a little trouble
  • This isn't funny. This is awful.

  • Close up of a racoon I took 2 years ago
  • OK, nice photo, but DID YOU BOOP THE SNOOT?

  • I just deleted my 8 year old reddit account
  • Not true. Also, speaking up on behalf of others is not automatically equal to virtue signalling.

  • I'm sorry to hear you experienced that. I speak out when I see the R word in use like that. Most of the time I get laughed at, sneered at, downvoted, even kicked out of a gaming guild once. Many NT folks don't understand the harm that using a word like that does. I imagine, just like women who go to bat for patriarchy, there are ND folks who haven't figured it out, either. In any case, you're not alone. I'm glad you called it out, even if you were unable to get the name banned or changed. The act of speaking up still matters.

  • Insiders Reveal Major Problems at Lab-Grown-Meat Startup Upside Foods
  • Maybe they did, just not the right lesson.

  • 1 in 5 women report mistreatment from medical staff during pregnancy
  • Oh, I know. My point was that it's obviously a higher percentage than what is reported.

  • A message from NASA: Bill Nelson congratulates ISRO for successful landing of Chandrayaan-3
  • That's something. The silence on NASA's socmed channels yesterday was deafening.

  • Anyone else found health screenings more painful as you age?
  • Same doctor as previous screenings?

  • Minion is the standard now. Makes life ever so much easier on Windows. I really hope it works for Linux folks, too!

  • If you subscribe and get ESO+, you get '...Access to all DLC game packs available in the Crown Store for the duration of membership'. That does not include the latest chapter; right now that's Necrom. There's a new one each year, so you'll be able to play Necrom next year with a membership if you don't want to buy it outright.

    They do a good job of making the membership very appealing, I have to say. Increased bank space, double the slots for furnishings in your houses, and a bottomless crafting bag, for ex. But they are not obnoxious about it like, say, Neverwinter Nights is.

  • Yeah, the zone quests vs. the main quest are not explained very well. I started just after Elsweyr came out and was trying to play through the main quest at the same time I did the zone quest. I didn't understand why some of the characters showed up in both with different, ah, statuses, shall we say?

    Probably the easiest thing to do for continuity is to play through the quests for your faction. They will lead you to the next logical zone. With Morrowind / Vvardenfell, it's a DLC so it's a bit outside the main continuity lines. DLC's can be done at any time, though with some recurring characters, it can be fun to do them after doing the main quests. You'll sometimes get unique dialogue as the NPC's acknowledge your previous adventures with them. Release order of the DLC's is one option. However, the skills you get from the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood quests can be really helpful, so it's OK to take a detour and pick those up early on (and they don't cross over with the main quest).

    Some lovely person wrote up a nice guide on the forums about which order to quest in for every faction: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/525351/a-clear-step-by-step-guide-to-playing-eso-in-chronological-order.

    Been playing this for the last few years. Helped me get through lockdown!

    It's been around for long enough that there is absolutely loads of content. I love that there are several different ways to play, too. I love housing and decorating, but there's casual questing, end game content, PVP, crafting... It's fun!

    I don't know if we're permitted to post links that that here, so I won't. But if you go to the Epic Games store, it's free through 27 July.

    Happy questing!
