Default Dragon Age 2 - The Long Road @ RPS

August 19th, 2014, 12:01
Cara Ellison of Rock, Paper, Shotgun is back with another article S.EXE article, and uses Dragon Age 2 as the next example. I can see the replies already.

I usually discover the best stories about games over a quiet drink with a friend. This week I am residing in the Isle of Wight, working with the artist Howard Hardiman, author of The Lengths. The Lengths is, amongst other things, an exploration of the world of male gay escorts based on real conversations with sex workers; illustrations and dialogue of the feelings and life of someone who lives to please other people. I found myself in The Mess asking Howard which games he liked that expressed something about the relationships between people. This will contain spoilers for Dragon Age II.

Howard explained to me that Aveline’s crush on a coworker in Dragon Age II almost broke his heart. So we went back home to play The Long Road.
More information.

I can too. And I wish we lived in a time where I could see better ones.

OMG
Someone kill me please.

Or better yet, someone send them all 2000+ episodes of Santa Barbara. They'd leave us alone at least for a year.

Straight people do this all the time. Trying to please a spouse is nerve -wracking sometimes.

Escorts do it for the money. Wah! Wah!

I just wish I could like a game based solely on the narrative of one single NPC…
