The End (of Origins)

We made it! It's been a wild introduction to the Dragon Age series for Giancarlo and he's leaving full of Dragon Age Romance Trauma, courtesy of Morrigan. :) That totally won't come back to haunt him in later games, right? :)

This episode of How To Act Fereldan takes a lovely journey outside of Fereldan... to Tevinter? And as Wil continues to be baffled by the concept of time in Thedas, Giancarlo is rapidly approaching the end of Origins! We're almost there, folks!
