When it first came out, I had made a good faith attempt to play the original, but I failed to get into the game and decided to cut bait after about three hours of my first playthrough. Something about the mechanics of the game just didn’t click with me and I had trouble effectively controlling my party. But after playing my way through the sequel, I decided to give Origins another go-round and this time it all made sense. I purchased the Ultimate Edition with all the DLC included so I went dead to the world for a significant portion of the summer while I quested my Grey Warden from one end of Thedas to the other. That was after I lead my dapper rogue through a tumultuous decade of running around Kirkwall and bedding pirate queens in part 2. Although the recycled level in part two did get old, I loved the setting and characters. This whole series has restarted my long dormant love of the fantasy genre. Thanks so much Dragon Age.

I HATED it. It was such a struggle to get through it because it was just cliché after cliché. I thought I was alone in hating it because I have so many friends that love to use Coelho quotes when writing e-mails and such. It annoys the hell out of me because I read books from much better authors in elementary school. Sadly, the only redeeming quality about this book are the illustrations, but since I am not five years old, book illustrations don't exactly encourage me to pick up a book and read it.

If everyone had to follow their personal legends we would all end up being a mental retard. The world is not that simple as the author makes it out to be. All he is trying to sell is that if you follow your personal legend(I hate this phrase) the universe will conspire to make it happen for you, this is nothing but bullshit ! A licence to kill for pea heads to do what they want! . I guess mohd. Atta was following his personal legend n the universe conspired to make it happen for him when he rammed that plane into the world trade centre . This book is devoid of any literary substance, a good storyline or an interesting plot. Somehow I just couldn’t understand the concept of Personal Legend ,the phrase sounded weird and selfish too.
