You Killed Jory!



I've been playing Dragon Age: Origins.

Things were going along fine. True my family was killed by traitors, that was sad, but expected. Bad guys act like bad guys, it's how the world works. Especially since the traitor was voiced by Tim Curry. You just know that anyone voiced by Tim Curry is going to be evil.

So in my despair and grief at the loss of my family I set out on a quest to become a Grey Warden. To do so I had to drink some darkspawn blood. Funny how life turns out. Well I watched the blood kill Daveth when he drank it. But I'm the main character, I'll be fine. I knew that Daveth had to die to prove the situation was serious (Rest in peace Red Shirt). But Jory didn't want to drink the blood. Jory had a wife and child. Duncan killed Jory. He killed him right in front of me. That moment unsettled me. Duncan was supposed to be a good guy.



Oh, yeah. Belated Spoiler Warning. Sorry about that.
