“I liked the Fade, actually”
Over the years I’ve found that nearly every section of Dragon Age: Origins has its haters, but disliking the Fade section of the Circle of Magi chapter is a meme at this point. Yeah, it’s overly long, perhaps too complicated in the way it introduces so many mechanics the game won’t use again, and it’s such a momentum-killing detour that you’ve practically forgotten what you were doing when you finish it. But you could also argue that it’s a fascinating microcosm of game design that even if it does bring the pacing of Origins to a screeching halt, it’s worth respecting—no, no, the meme must live on.
