In case the Dragon Age 3 writers are stumped, I think I dreamed a pretty good opening! You start trapped in an DARKSPAWN-INFESTED TOWER with no armor. Your only possession is some sort of COOL INHERITED MAGIC WEAPON (presumably class-specific). Your jailer is an OPPRESSED ELF who will look the other way while you run in exchange for your DA1-STYLE SURFER NECKLACE. In an awesome action/stealth sequence, you defeat and loot various guards, becoming more and more powerful as you descend levels of the tower. Along the way, you meet a COOL MERCENARY TANK, a fellow badass escapee with whom you can ally although he insists that he always works alone. You can flirt with him. Just before you make good your escape, you are captured by the scary EVIL QUEEN, a human wizard with some sort of unholy alliance with the darkspawn. She is more condescending than angry and you get the feeling she was toying with you by letting you get so far. You can hate-flirt with her. You regain consciousness back in your cell with none of your cool stuff. You have the same jailer from before--a short, shaggy-haired elf rogue with a new surfer necklace, a world-weary Irish accent, and the ironic name of "Chipper." You can definitely flirt with him.

That's as far as I got and it's probably only about five minutes into the game (more if you exhaust all the romance dialogue options), but they were five pretty fun minutes! Maybe tomorrow night I'll get the first boss fight.

That was a real dream? Amazing

How cool would it be if you dreamed a new segment each night??

Amazing!! It reminds me of some sequence from DA1 where you do have to escape wearing nothing but your surfer necklace, but it is way more interesting (I love that you lose the surfer necklace! and the queen was just toying with you!!). And so many flirt options in the first five minutes.

I wish they would just come out with DA3 already come on guys. I know it's going to be like two years.

_I_ dreamed that I was staying with your parents, except they had nine kids, none of whom were you or Paul, some of whom were as young as two years old. Your parents sent the two-year-old to tell me I couldn't take a second bath because the hot water was too expensive, but the two-year-old wasn't good at talking so he just made signs. This is obviously the result of spending last night reading a bunch of Victorian housekeeping manuals & histories about the Victorian bathroom.

Also! speaking of dreams and your blog. Paul told me I should comment on this post that I woke up laughing last night because in my dream I was reading your blog and you wrote a funny entry accompanied by a funny video. I actually didn't wake up laughing--I was laughing in my sleep and Paul woke me up because he thought I was having a nightmare. But I wasn't, I was having a great time. Anyway, it shows I subconsciously believe your blog to be super funny.
