just going to go straight into the highest rank of dual wielding that i can manage and so we finally get to play the game now that i'm done talking about character PROFANITY_TOKEN non-stop here we're introduced to the dwarven city of orzammar of which you're the son of the king of the noble family i duken the city itself has been cut off by darkspawn but it's also considered impenetrable so during this lull of inaction bickering and squabbles have broken out between the various members of the noble family appearances are everything to the dwarves of orzammar and keeping them up is paramount to political survival one can't take all this marching about in speech making too seriously i'm never quite ready for steve bloom to appear but he does seem to be everywhere and nowhere when it comes to various media so anyways there's supposed to be this big ass banquet feast thing in celebration of my character's first military commission this is important because apparently this commission translates to more honor for myself instead of my character's brothers and cousins in an effort to eventually gain the crown but until then the day is ours which leads us into a tutorial where we can go check out some merchant stalls or the proving grounds for some NUMBER_TOKENvNUMBER_TOKEN combat i opt for both which leads us into the camera and movement tutorial so yeah dragon age is a little weird when it comes to camera stuff as many games in this genre from this era tend to be you can play from an overhead tactical angle or dead on the back of the character the camera rotates with a and d and your character strafes with q and e which can thankfully be flip-flopped of course you can also use your right mouse button to drag your camera around so it isn't all that bad it's just a little weird so the first little mini quest that we stumble upon is an argument between a noble from a different house and a scholar who wrote about the noble's founder the scholar states that the noble's founder only got to the place that he was through records of bribery blackmail and intimidation he claims to have documentation of these events i'm to choose between covering up history to protect this guy's house or telling him to go suck it i go with the ladder and the nobleman is obviously pissed my right hand man here then asks me if i want him killed which is PROFANITY_TOKEN awesome and immediately puts into perspective just how much power i have as the king's son i choose to have him killed quietly an assassination that i'm assured will take place within the hour i love it next i meet with my older brother who's the next in line for king and my younger brother the younger one seems to follow the older one around like a dog while the older one talks down to me and orders me to go meet with the king i tell him to PROFANITY_TOKEN off before continuing my exploration of ironforge or orzammar next we meet up with some women who have the express goal of getting a baby blasted into them by a noble so that they can spend the next chunk of their lives living in the royal chambers and looking after it this behavior is looked favorably upon by the royal cast as it creates more royal knights to fight for the city i decide to tell
