I blame me playing Dragon Age entirely on violacea. I started in January of 2013 with Dragon Age 2 and got DAO when I was done with it. I've played both multiple times at this point and got into the fandom because it was right there waiting for me!

I started as a mage when I played both games for the first time. I still definitely enjoy playing as a mage, but I think dual-wield rogue is probably my favorite (though, I'm eyeing some of the new archery abilities in DAI with eagerness).
