I actually agree with this. I think because all the attention can be directed at one person, everyone’s like OMG IT’S SUCH A SELF-INSERT BLAHDEY BLAH BLAH

but felicia is awesome so stfu

I had an opportunity to speak with her briefly at PAX about the project and not only was she an incredibly nice person but she was very enthusiastic about Redemption and Dragon Age in general. I left the encounter feeling really good knowing that the included famous face actually cared about the series as a gamer and fellow fan. 

I think that people tend to be a bit polarized in their opinions of her as a public personality so that probably detracted from the enjoyment that some had of the DLC. As they say “haters gonna hate” and all. The tone of the marketing also seemed more geared towards promotion of Day than of Dragon Age at times and I’ll admit that even I felt a little exhausted with that by the time of release. 

While it’s neat to see talented and recognizable faces in game that isn’t a selling point for me. In the end I’m looking to buy a well written and developed Bioware product and I am far more interested in the quality of the voice acting and direction of the game. I am glad that the DLC provided a lot of fun content for me and that the DA team had an opportunity to experiment with some game mechanics along the way because that’s what I put my money down on. 

Besides, I would imagine you’d be hard pressed to find any fan of the game who wouldn’t jump at the chance to be a part of Thedas. I know I’d say yes in a heart beat. ;)

“I met Lola Purping during our “photo-walk” at Binondo today. She was sitting quietly at the gutter right outside the San Lorenzo Ruiz Church. I couldn’t help but noticed the big lump on her face that she is trying to cover with her hair. She would throw some shy glances at me perhaps because she felt uneasy that a big guy carrying a huge camera is staring at her. I smiled at her and she timidly smiled back at me. I sat besides her and tried to strike a conversation.

Lola Purping is a street dweller from Samar. She is about 70 years old with poor eyesight and carrying a large tumor near her face. She and her grandchildren would sleep with empty stomachs on the streets where and whenever the night would catch them. I told her that she is a bit old to take care of her grandchildren. She told me that her children left her without a choice as they went to Cotobato and never returned until now.

2 days ago, she lost her few valuables, money and medicines to a pickpocket as she was going out of the church where she stays from morning till afternoon.

I asked her if I can take her photo and put her story on my blog hoping that some kind souls might be able to offer some help – any help. With tears on her eyes, she nodded.

If you happen to pass by San Lorenzo Ruiz Church in Binondo, you might see Lola Purping quietly sitting along the gutter when she is not inside the church praying. Please offer a kind smile to her.

I would appreciate if you can share this and make it viral until it reaches the heart of someone capable of and willing to help her and her grand children.”
