Dragon Age has always been a story where your choices and decisions impact the world. For the third installment of the game, the details on how past decisions will be handled and implemented has just been announced.
Dragon Age Keep will allow players to customize the world of Thedas according to past decisions made. Don’t worry if you’ve lost files or if they’ve become corrupted over time. Past decisions can be implemented by the player within the keep without having to access previous saves. The Keep will exist on the cloud.
Head over to the announcement for more detailed information on the decisions behind the making of the Keep.
Assassin’s Creed III is amazing. No seriously, it is amazing. It is beautiful, the soundtrack is haunting, and the quality of the story telling is equal to that of the best in the industry.
We have burned through the franchise in the last couple of weeks, well ok hubby more than I, and have enjoyed the stories immensely. I’ve skipped finishing Brotherhood and Revelations because I know how Ezio’s story concludes through hubby’s games. I’m sure I will go back and finish them if time permits.
The alternative and imaginative history telling is fascinating. There have been many a sparked conversation around here about whether or not Sam Adams is a Templar or not. I will also admit that there are all kinds of comments and discussions about parallels to modern day issues.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag releases October 29, 2013 in the US and we are both looking forward to it immensely. We will be getting it for the XboxOne. It will be worth the slight wait for the release on the new console.
Now, excuse me, I need to go back to playing Assassin’s Creed III so I can do more homestead missions and find Daniel Boone.

DRAGON AGE INQUISITION … I cannot begin to say how much I am looking forward to the release of this game. It is going to be a long year of patient waiting however since it doesn’t release until Fall 2014. I am more than willing to wait for a polished, immersive game in comparison to the huge disappointment that was Dragon Age II.
Exclusive Boss Mode for XboxOne! Boss Mode game play will be available via Kinect or Smartglass and is playable as Crazy Dave or as Dr. Zombot.
Titanfall new game play footage on new map looks engaging.
While I’m not interested in the game, FIFA 14 on XboxOne and PS4 does look bloody fantastic.
Love Fable? Love Multiplayer? Then be prepared to be amazed for Fable Legends was announced this morning with the above stunning trailer. You can play in multiplayer mode or in single campaign mode with three AI companions. So rejoice, your return to Albion will be far more than just the anniversary addition of the original Fable game. Oh did I mention you can play as the hero OR the villain? Our XboxOne will be getting quite the workout in the coming year!
Gamescon started today in Cologne, Germany and the first game that caught my undivided attention was not even on my radar: Lords of the Fallen. The RPG is coming to PC, PS4, and XboxOne in 2014. The video for the game can be seen here and it seriously has my full attention.
Hearthstone is the trading card game from Blizzard which entered closed beta this morning. No, I wasn’t lucky enough to get in the first round of testers. Hearthstone is based on the lore and characters from The Warcraft mythology. The closed beta does not have a Non-disclosure Agreement and thus testers will be able to share their experiences directly. The game will be free to play when it releases but it will have a cash shop.
I have always been an Alliance player, ever since I first picked up the game almost five years ago. Alliance is the natural fit for my personality and general life outlook. However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been interested in the other side of the story. Early on I tried playing the Horde but quite honestly, the character models spoiled my immersion in the game immensely. Those early Horde characters have been scrapped and never brought back to life.
Last spring I once again decide to experience the Horde story line and made the above Pandaren priest. She dinged 61 this morning and I’ve got to tell you, there are almost no story differences. Quests so far are all the same, wording changed but otherwise there is no story difference. I am beginning to question long term viability of playing the Horde for story differences when there are none. Now, his may change when my priest hits later expansions but I really doubt that right now.
I don’t know how much play time my Horde priest is going to receive in the future unfortunately.
All I can say is, I’ve never wanted to kill a boss more than I want to repeatedly slaughter Garrosh Hellscream. As everyone knows, I’m not a raider and thank god I can handle raiding in LFR groups.
Today’s gorgeous installment in the story of The Burdens of Shaohao and unfortunately this installment concludes the series.
And the beautiful story telling continues as the Emperor encounters the Sha of Anger.
Burdens of Shaohao: Part 3 Fear has just been released. It is as impressive as the previous installments in the series.
The third beautiful installment in the Burdens of Shaohao series.
