((Apparently that link led to this. No idea why, but I didn’t play it. I still don’t trust this shit. But I know there will be a post about it being a possible virus.
Edit: I checked the virus tag. This is a virus, DO NOT CLICK IT! It’s being sent through multiple emails and other shit. DON’T CLICK IT.))
((Seriously people, spread this. It could save someone’s computer!))
((Reblogging yet again for those who missed it.))
Just got one, don’t look at it.
CONFESSION: A lot of things are not realistic but, having every child look exactly the same is something that really bugs me.
What bugged me more was that the only children you see were in Darktown
The removal of dwarven females annoyed me the most.
That too. It always made me remember the interviews before the game came out that basically said Kirkwall had alot of life to it.
When I was 16, my first car was a 1980 Honda Accord. And I appreciated it.
These entitled kids today, these are going to be the kids controlling things down the road and it scares me.

HOLY SHIT LANCE HENRIKSON!
And now let me explain why it’s more than just “oh my god he was in Aliens and Terminator!” excitement:
Back in the mid-90s, there was a show called Millennium. Chris Carter was the show runner and he wanted it to be straight-up crime drama, no supernatural elements because he had The X-Files for the weird stuff. The show centred around Frank Black (Henrikson), a haunted profiler and former FBI agent with an uncanny intuition for understanding killers. He left the FBI after a killer stalked and threatened his wife and young child, but was coaxed out of retirement by Peter Watts (Terry O’Quinn) and into joining the Millennium Group — a company of former law enforcement types that lend their expertise as consultants.
The massive overbearing arc was the countdown to the the year 2000 and played on all the Y2K paranoia. It also went all kinds of batshit in season two with ghosts, demons, and a bird plague conspiracy.
BUT HERE’S WHERE IT BENDS BACK ON ITSELF LIKE A BEAUTIFUL MÖBIUS STRIP: The Millennium Group in the show is based on The Academy Group, Inc in real life.
CHECK OUT THEIR LOGO
FROM THEIR COMPANY PROFILE PAGE:
The Academy Group was founded by Dr. Roger L. Depue, former Chief of the FBI’s famed Behavioral Science Unit at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia. He and most of our practitioners and associates played a major role in the creation of the FBI’s National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC). The NCAVC was the group that managed the FBI’s investigative and behavioral response to all facets of crime and threats. The FBI Behavioral Science Unit was made famous by the movie, “The Silence of the Lambs,” and the book, Red Dragon, by Tom Harris.
Bold emphasis is mine.
I’ll have to dig through my dvd special features, but I do vaguely remember the AGI consultant for Millennium being a Thomas Harris fan.
So Lance Henrikson getting to guest star on Hannibal is like a chewy meta sundae. (The meta and sundae is people.)
This maybe an unpopular opinion but I enjoyed Season 2.

Its kind of fascinating and mysterious that Chris Carter pretty much disappeared from the industry while people who worked under him like Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) are constantly working.

CONFESSION: I can never bring myself to replace Bianca with a more powerful weapon. I felt like I was tearing apart Varric’s love-life when I did it the first time.
…
Wait, we actually CAN take Bianca away? Given her status as Varric’s baby, I didn’t think we could and never even tried.
…
What kind of monster WOULD take Bianca from Varric!?
Holy crap, you can do that!? I just…assumed…huh.
No.The Op is mistaken. Bianca can’t be removed.
