This is mostly inspired by @booinyoureyes's thread, #ConfessionsofaBhaalspawn.
I figured instead of de-railing that thread with Dragon Age confessions. I figured that we could put them in here.
Confession: I love Dragon Age: Origins.
Confession: Out of all the romances my favorite is a tie between Leliana and Zevran.
Confession: I really don't like Morrigan, but some how all my Wardens become friends with her.
Confession: I've never completed a Human Noble playthrough.
Confession: I've never completed a dwarf commoner or a dwarf noble playthrough.
Confession: I found Dragon Age 2 to be...mediocre at best.
Confession: My favorite romance in DA2 is Fenris'.
Confession: I think that Anders is a terrorist, and an abomination. Why? Well, the terrorist part is obvious, but the abomination part, its mostly because he's losing his true self the longer he keeps Justice/Vengeance inside of him.

Confession: I have no current intentions to buy inquisition because I hated DA2
Confession: I've only ever played human noble
Confession: I use origin's battle of denerim as my idea of what the final battle of Mass Effect 3 should've been like, and it is sad because they are both from Bioware!
Confession: I think Carver is the more realistic of both siblings.
Confession: I prefer DA:O Merrill over DA2 Merrill.
Confession: When playing my Dalish Warden, I seem to have a knack for pissing off Alistair with my Warden's Shem hating ways.
Confession: When it comes to the Connor Situation in Redcliffe, my Warden usually sacrifices Isolde, or kills Connor, mostly because I'm too lazy to go clear out the mage tower.
Confession: I wish Nathaniel Howe was romancible.
Confession: I think Nathaniel Howe is the best character in Awakening.
Confession: I actually enjoyed the Mark of the Assassin DLC, and I kind of like Tallis.
Confession: my profile picture is of my very first DA:O character. He's a dwarf noble dual-wielder rogue and still the funnest one.
Confession: I feel DA2 was okay, but incomparable with the awesome that was DA:O.
Confession: I do absolutely hate what they did in DA2 with the genlock model. I also have a (very) minor issue with the changes in the elf models.
Confession: I also like Tallis, and I wish Hawke could take her from Mark of the Assassin into the regular game.
I beat it twice as a mage and once as a city elf rogue/thief. I never beat it as anything else though. I would like to try an archer but I've read that (at least in DAO) a lot of the archer talents aren't that good.
A well equipped and talented archer is definitely viable and can be fun. My last (and as of yet unfinished) playthrough was one, and arrow of slaying and scattershot are a favorite. A rogue-archer build would be better from a stat perspective, and that also gives you someone to pick locks.
Confession: when going through the Deep Roads for the second time onwards, I take at least one mage with me that can shapeshift into a swarm just to speed through it.
Confession: I think the Deep Roads are way too long, and I actually try to speed through it, even if it means missing side quests.
Confession: I like the Grey Warden armor from DA2 so much, that I use the mod "Grey Wardens of Ferelden" just so then all the Grey Wardens can have the same armor.
Confession: my computer's graphic card is an intel 950 gma chipset, so yeaaaah! I couldn't even run BG:EE :P with the shaders.
Confession: My first ever Warden was a City Elf and the Alienage quest line had me very angry, so angry in fact that in a later play through I killed the douche later on for no other reason.
Fenris and Anders are by far the worst
1. Fenris
2. Varric
3. Aveline
4. Isabela
5. Merrill
6. Anders
Confession: I believe all NPCs suffer some sort of mental handicap. The worst ones being Merrill, and Anders.
Confession: I can't play a male hawke, mostly due to the similarity in voice that goes on between him, and Vaughan from the City Elf Origin.
Confession: when it comes to DA:O characters returning in DA2, I prefer Awakening Anders (both model and personality), DA2 Isabela, DA:O Zevran, DA:O Bodahn, DA:O Sandal, not sure about Leliana...
Confession: I have only finished DA2 twice. Once with a male dual-wielder rogue, later with a female mage. Next playthrough (whenever that is) will be a female fighter.
Confession: I haven't romanced Anders yet for the same reason I haven't romanced Anomen yet. They both strike me as self-righteous and annoying.
Confession: Started a game of DA2 with my Dalish Warden import, and planning on romancing Merrill, and now I'm starting to think Merrill is adorable. Curses.
Confession: I like that Anders doesn't get credit for the Mage's freedom. In fact, its Wynne's son,
Confession: I think Anders is a dick to other mages, and I mostly blame Justice for it.
Merrill: "Nooo, we're following Hawke, that's important too."
Confession: apart from being so violent about it, I kinda *get* the Qun, and the Qunari.
Confession: Whenever I read a discussion about DA characters, It always feels like the participants talk like children discussing thier favourite member of 1Direction.
Confession: DA2 was so bad it actually went back and made DAO significantly worse in my eyes.
never made it into the finished game (at least not in any kind of properly functional way).
Confession: I also like to make Wynne a blood mage. Just because I can
Confession: For some reason, every time I play a Mage!Hawke, I never take Carver on the expedition and he becomes a Templar.
Confession: The origin that makes me the most angry is F!City Elf.
Confession: I think Eamon is a dick, especially to Alistair.
Confession: I think Alistair is stupid most of the time, especially when it concerns Arl Eamon.
Confession: I wish that Bioware would release one more patch for DA:O and DA2. Mostly the latter, because they broke Sebastian's quests so very badly.
Confession: also as in BG, I feel obligated to LOOT ALL THE THINGS! So for that reason a rogue is also pretty handy.
@SapphireIce101 Confession: I think Isolde is a bigger dick than Eamon.
Confession: I usually send Irving into the fade to get to Connor, just to be able to play with him for a while.
Confession: For my next playthrough (like in BG I also plan these out beforehand) I am torn between romancing Anders or Sebastian. Both my characters and me have never found Anders boyfriend material but his romance does seem more in-depth than Sebastian's.
Edit: @elminster a warrior dual-wielder can make a ridiculously awesome mage-killer when combined with templar and berserker. But you may already know that.
Confession: I had to use the immortality cheat just to get the Grim Reaper achievement. No, I don't feel ashamed about it at all.
Confession: Sometimes I think Connor is Teagan and Isolde's love child, rather than Eamon's son.
Confession: I always recruit Zevran, and I can't ever kill him.
Confession: When I go to defile the Sacred Ashes, I sometimes bring Wynne and Leliana just so then I can get rid of them.
Confession: Sometimes I don't bring Wynne or Leliana at all when doing the Sacred Ashes quest, and I manage to convince Leliana to stay in the party.
Confession: I think Bryce Cousland, or Loghain should have been king of Ferelden instead of Maric, Cailan, or Alistair. The three of them are a blight upon Calenhad's bloodline.
Confession: Oghren from Awakening is a lot more harder to please than Oghren from Origins.
Confession: When I went through WItch Hunt on my Dalish. I stabbed Morrigan, and it was my first time doing that.
Confession: I'm starting to think that Snarky!Hawke is the best Hawke of them all.
But for some reason, it just doesn't have any replay value for me. I've tried a few times, and I always lose interest shortly after the origin story. I think it may be because the combat is so repetitive and all the encounters are with the same creature types over and over.
Confession: Even though I was so into DA:O, I never finished Witch Hunt. I started into it with my character who had just been through Awakenings, and lost interest. I still have that save on my computer, and I've always meant to come back to it, but I never have. It's been four or five years. I think I'd have to start over with a new character and try to work back up to that point.
Confession: I was disappointed with Awakening. None of the new characters were interesting or memorable to me, and I didn't like that my decisions at the end of Origins had no impact at the beginning - it was like none of my past ever happened. Alistair wasn't around, and my romance with Zevran was ignored. Where was he? What happened to him? The end of Origins said we continued our adventures together, and my character would never have left him.
Confession: I never even bought DA2, because I believed all the people who said it was terrible, and I had already felt the decline in quality starting with Awakening.
Confession: I'm sad that my confessions are making me sound so negative about the series. I loved and enjoyed DA:O. I truly did. But it's nowhere near being a second Baldur's Gate for me.
