Story Choices
These are the most interesting to me- they give a window into how everyone is playing. Spoilers, obviously.Romances
Morrigan is the most popular romance, Alister is the rarest. Probably just points to the prevalence of male characters, and Morrigan being the first available romance for a male character. Personally I didn't find this stuff too attractive- I actually made it a whole playthrough without romancing anybody- mostly because Morrigan hated every decision I made and Leilana just chilled at camp for the entire campaign. Looks like that sentiment was somewhat shared by you guys, as getting all romances is the second rarest achievie in the game, behind only discovering all endings. Honestly the romances probably take more work, as you can always just reload a save a few hours prior to the ending, whereas the romances take time and effort.Final Thoughts
Of particular interest to me is that none of the DLC achievements are rare, which indicates a good sellthrough on that and the Collector's Edition. I wonder if that will hold up for Return to Ostagar. Grabbing all companions is also a very rare achievement, but I'd imagine that's due to the easy to miss nature of some companions- Leilana, Sten, and very much due to peopleOnly 8 people have the full 1100/1100 right now, so clearly people are taking their time, which I fully support. Dragon Age is a great game, and well worth savoring. I just love that there are some man different ways to play it, and find it fascinating that people have been gravitating heavily towards certain choices. I would have expected much more of a 50-50 splits on these. Think it's great that GB makes this stuff so easily accessible too.
