    Episode #5.29 - Darkspawn War - It’s… Over?

    Episode #5.29 - Darkspawn War - It’s… Over?

    Remember those nobles? We can’t put them off any longer. They want to know what we plan on doing about the Darkspawn. We’re sent off to Amaranthine only to learn that the city guard considers Amaranthine to be a lost cause and The Mother is marching on the keep. Here is our big choice–do we stay and search for survivors or do we return to our keep to defend it? No matter what we decide, we then must take the fight to The Mother. The Architect asks us to stand with him against her and to allow him to continue his experiments to give Darkspawn free will. Another ethically sticky situation. With or without the Architect, the Mother must be taken out. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our new amazing logo as well as to Radek Wade and Echoes of Oblivion for the song World of Thedas, which we use as our theme music.

    Episode #5.27 - Knotwood Hills - Darkspawn Inferno

    Episode #5.27 - Knotwood Hills - Darkspawn Inferno

    At Knotwood Hills, we find the Darkspawn trying to drag away a member of the Legion of the Dead– Sigrun did not consent. With the Warden’s help, Sigrun returns to Kal’Hirol, the site of some serious darkspawn activity that obliterated her faction of the Legion, leaving only her behind. Here we finally see both sides of the Darkspawn schism push against each other–hurlock against hurlock, genlock against genlock. After winding our way through Kal’Hirol, we find that the Broodmothers are at it again and only we can stop them. Special thanks to Redd Spinks for our new amazing logo as well as to Radek Wade and Echoes of Oblivion for the song World of Thedas, which we use as our theme music.

Podcast Paragons

Do you want to hear two people talk about fighting against the existential crises of sentient squid space ships and dragons with the souls of gods in them? Maybe about how they helped a jellyfish make a movie, or got a young dwarf into a magic school? You get all this and more on Reignite, my absolute favorite BioWare based playthrough show on Al Gore’s internet. Am I biased because they had me on as a guest once? I’ll never tell. But Matt and Frankie continue to be a pair of the most thoughtful gamers around, and I cannot recommend this show for Mass Effect and Dragon Age fans enough.

This is my favorite podcast on the Citadel!

If you are a fan of Bioware you know why you are here. This podcast is a real gem and as a ME fan you owe to yourself to have a listen.

A must-listen for Mass Effect fans!
