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.

R.I.P. Necromancer

As excited as I am for Diablo III, I am nonetheless sad that the Necromancer will not be returning. Now I know that nothing is official yet except that the character classes of Barbarian, Sorceress, and the new Witch Doctor will be present in the game. But can you honestly tell me that the game will have both a Witch Doctor and a Necromancer. No, their respective powers are just to similar. The Necromancer with his summoning of the undead, poison spells, curses, and bone magic is not that different from what we can expect from the Witch Doctor.

Now I hear things as I wander around this Internet world. It's seems most people didn't like the Necromancer. Which is a shame, and puzzling. The Necromancer was one of my favorite characters in Diablo II. Well my friend the world may not have liked you, but you have at least one friend who will mourn your passing. Here's to you. And who knows, a master of Death like you may not stay dead forever.
