Here's My Story

I completedly this exapansion recently. The additional talents and specialisation are much welcomed but there were not enough of them to put all points in and so the enjoyment on that front vanished during late game. Also, I felt that the enemies were not scaled up properly to provide sufficient challenges. The last fight wasn't particularly difficult: it was just tedious. These issues could have been fixed by lowering the starting level of all characters.  I ended the game with the following specialisations: Me (mage): Spirit Healer, Battlemage and Blood Mage. The last one was chosen just for stat boost. Justice (warrior): Spirit Warrior, Champion and Templar. Weapon and Shield tank. Sigrun (rogue): Legionaire Scout, Assassin and Duelist. Dual-weapon mele rogue.  Nathaniel (rogue): Bard, Ranger and Assassin. Archer. Justice was the last companion I recruited. Before him, Oghren was my two-handed warrior tank, with specialisation in Berserker, Champion and Spirit Warrior. Alth...

Recently, Ban and I dined at Go Noodle House at Paradigm Mall after being absent for more than 3 months. They discontinued their loyalty programme in Nov 2025. I was curious whether this was due to a change in management and hence whether this had effect on the menu, quality of food etc. One notable change was there was a bottle of wine on each table, clearly for customers to add to their noodle soup if they wish. I initially thought it was vinegar and so I asked and got the answer from the waiter. I was a little puzzled because for their noodle soup, you need to pay RM 2.50 for extra wine (upgrade Superior Soup to Premium Superior Soup) and yet there was free wine on the table. Me: What's the difference between this (the bottle of wine on the table) and that (the saucer of extra wine)? Waiter: That (the extra wine) is high quality wine. Me: So this (the table wine) is low quality, is it? Waiter, Ban and Me: *laughed* Waiter: No, no, no. Ban: Don't disturb him lah. Me: Just jok...

This was a review by a certain Edward Lee, of the restaurant Go Noodle at Paradigm Mall: Edit: I reported it for "Discrimination or hate speech". Later, Google responded: "Thank you for your report. Our systems checked the reported content, and didn't find any issues at this time." WTH.

  Currently, this is my favourite lozenges. I was introduced to it by a doctor when I consulted them about my sorethroat and cough. I noticed that, unlike other lozenges, this has specific instruction of not refrigerating it. Why?

I finished my second playthrough recent. I ended with the following specialisations: Me: Spirit Healer & Shapeshifter. Took the latter just for the boost to defensive stats i.e. didn't unlock any talent. Alistair: Templar & Champion. Oghre: Berserker & Champion. Leliana: Bard & Ranger. Leliana's archer build is a late-bloomer and equipment dependent. Belatedly, I realised how great Scattershot is. Once they were fully built i.e. unlocked all key talents, the game was pretty easy except for a few fights towards the end. Definitely needed to depend on the armies I gathered.  Just started playing its expansion, Awakening. Meanwhile, here are some more gameplays:
