Re: Dragon Age
I don't know how far along I am overall. I just finished Redcliffe Castle and went to the Mages Tower after that (tied to the Redcliffe Castle quest). I can honestly say I don't think I've enjoyed a game this much in years. I am impressed everytime I play and can't wait to see what the next quest/co...

I'm loving this game so far. Just built a new computer so that I could run it maxed out. I had a hard time beating the Attack at Night part of Redcliffe.

There's another one by a group called Rusted Root - "Send Me on My Way" that is a guilty pleasure as well!
