I keep forgetting to do another one of these entries because Mass Effect 2 has been taking up a lot of my time. Honestly, when I'm not playing ME2, I'm playing Dragon Age, and when I'm not playing Dragon Age, I'm playing ME2. Let's just say that Bioware is my favorite developer.
I also went to Denerim for the first time but was reluctant to do so because Loghain is there (right?), and I thought traveling to the city would advance the main quest when I wasn't ready. Thankfully, I was greeted by TONS of side quests and not Loghain. I spent an enormous amount of time in Denerim just doing side quests and talking to people. It's a pretty good place. I also got it on in the brothel because I was bored.
Yesterday I FINALLY got the Urn of Sacred Ashes. I didn't think that quest would be as long and slightly tedious as it was. I had to go to Lake Calenhad, back to Denerim, and then to this town called Haven where I ended up in a cave which led to a one - two hour trek through a dungeon. It wasn't all bad, because I was able to fight a lot of little and big dragons. I also hit the gong as soon as I saw it, which (as you may or may not know) caused the High Dragon to wake up and destroy all of us. This was also the first time in the game where I had to go to the internet for help. It was at the part where you must pass through a wall of flames in front of the Urn. I took all of my stuff off at the altar and then put all of it back on, which I guess screwed up the quest a little. I had to manually remove everyone's equipment (because I guess going through without anything on prevents the Guardian from attacking) but it wouldn't work. I still had to fight the Guardian and his Shade minions, but I managed to defeat them after an intense battle. In case you're wondering, I decided not to defile the Ashes because that would be mean and I'm playing as a good little Dwarf.
After successfully reviving the Arl Eamon, I sent out to the Circle of Magi to seek their help. I won't go into detail here because I already did (link). I'll just say that, unlike last time, I did not slaughter the innocent Mage's because Morrigan told me to do so. So I got Wynne, and she's pretty awesome because Wynne + Morrigan = Alistair and I never dying! Which is a great thing, of course. Right now I'm in the Fade, which is the most annoying part of the game so far. I'm about halfway finished; hopefully I'll get out of it tomorrow. Until next time.
