I spent way too much time playing this game

Fantastic game, but jesus christ that last level.

I got to Kefka's tower at the end, and then gave up, tried to come back to it a year later, decided that was too hard, and looked up the ending on YouTube

Really scattershot thoughts here:

I tried to play through this game three separate times prior to this playthrough, where I beat it.

I liked it quite a bit, despite not really liking fantasy too much on the whole.

Wynne and Leliana were my favorite characters.

There was a really good moment in the game, where you're stuck in jail with Alastair. He asks you, who do you think would save us. I said Leliana, b/c I was boning her, and then just threw out the dog as a random second choice, as I thought it was funny. The game then cut to me playing as these two to come rescue the main character from jail! I was caught off guard by that, and thought it was pretty funny

I got probably as close to the "good ending" as you could get, and kinda regret hewing so closely to "good" choices. I do wish I had prodded it a bit more to see how it might respond,..

I might structure my thoughts more coherently later, but for now, this is it!

I really want to like these games more than I do, but I still liked this one a fair bit! It is very charming and fun, but too easily becomes a checklist feeling game, and I really have to limit the length of the time I play it to avoid fatigue

Also, the Majima Construction minigame was terrible
