    Episode #5.28 - Preparing for the end - House-KEEP-ing

    The nobles are gathered, concerned about how the wardens will protect them in the coming war with the Darkspawn. But before we deal with all that noise, it’s time to fuck off for a bit and help our friends with their problems. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our new amazing logo as well as to Radek Wade and Echoes of Oblivion for the song World of Thedas, which we use as our theme music.

    Episode #5.27 - Knotwood Hills - Darkspawn Inferno

    Episode #5.27 - Knotwood Hills - Darkspawn Inferno

    At Knotwood Hills, we find the Darkspawn trying to drag away a member of the Legion of the Dead– Sigrun did not consent. With the Warden’s help, Sigrun returns to Kal’Hirol, the site of some serious darkspawn activity that obliterated her faction of the Legion, leaving only her behind. Here we finally see both sides of the Darkspawn schism push against each other–hurlock against hurlock, genlock against genlock. After winding our way through Kal’Hirol, we find that the Broodmothers are at it again and only we can stop them.

    Episode #5.26 - Wending Wood - Gimme My Stuff

    Episode #5.26 - Wending Wood - Gimme My Stuff

    The Warden enters the Wending Wood to investigate the caravan attacks and finds wreckage being picked over by looters. After running around the wood, fighting darkspawn, sylvans, arguing with a botanist, talking statues, and doing some research–it becomes clear that not everything is as simple as it appears. We encounter an elf hellbent on defending the woods as the home of her brutalized and murdered clan of Dalish as well as human mercenaries ripped apart–all a ruse put together by the darkspawn. Velenna relents with the evidence we present her, her sister’s amulet found on the body of a darkspawn. She joins us with the intention of rescuing her sister or at least resolving what happened to her and we are pushed further along the narrative of this war between darkspawn. A mysterious being puts the squad to sleep and they wake again in captivity. Velenna’s sister, disconcertingly presenting as someone tainted by darkspawn, arrives to help us escape. We fight through only to watch Seranni escape with the mysterious darkspawn leader. Velenna asks the warden to allow her into the Grey Wardens so that she may rescue her sister.Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our new amazing logo as well as to Radek Wade and Echoes of Oblivion for the song World of Thedas, which we use as our theme music

    Episode #5.25 - Blackmarsh - NIGHTMARE FUEL

    Episode #5.25 - Blackmarsh - NIGHTMARE FUEL

    We take our first step out of Amaranthine toward Blackmarsh, where Grey Warden Kristoff is rumored to have disappeared. Blackmarsh is shrouded in mystery and fear–rumors of hauntings and monsters become reality as the warden moves through the marsh. Unfortunately, it’s too late to rescue Kristoff. He was killed as a ploy by darkspawn to draw the Warden in and trap them in the fade. In order to escape, they must face the Baroness who long ago trapped an entire village in the fade to punish them for turning against her. With the help of a righteous spirit, they succeed–only to be dropped back into reality along with that spirit and the possessed baroness. Once we destroy her and her pride for good, the villagers can finally be free from their fade prison. Our new friend is not so lucky. He is trapped with us on the wrong side of the veil and needs guidance to figure out his next steps. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our new amazing logo as well as to Radek Wade and Echoes of Oblivion for the song World of Thedas, which we use as our theme music.

    Episode #5.24 - Amaranthine - This Could Have Been An Email

    We still haven’t quite gotten into the meat of the story, but we’re getting there! We’ve started clearing out the basement of darkspawn, found some nifty trinkets to give our friends, explored the city of Amaranthine, such as it is, opened up the way for the main quests, and dealt with some smugglers!

Podcast Paragons

Do you want to hear two people talk about fighting against the existential crises of sentient squid space ships and dragons with the souls of gods in them? Maybe about how they helped a jellyfish make a movie, or got a young dwarf into a magic school? You get all this and more on Reignite, my absolute favorite BioWare based playthrough show on Al Gore’s internet. Am I biased because they had me on as a guest once? I’ll never tell. But Matt and Frankie continue to be a pair of the most thoughtful gamers around, and I cannot recommend this show for Mass Effect and Dragon Age fans enough.

This is my favorite podcast on the Citadel!

If you are a fan of Bioware you know why you are here. This podcast is a real gem and as a ME fan you owe to yourself to have a listen.
