0OK, so one of the first video games I played with any sort of seriousness was Fallout II. Admittedly, I never finished it, but one of my favorite things about it–one of the things I remember to this day–was the amusing, often tongue-in-cheek random encounters. Things like the bridge from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or the Guardian of Forever or a crashed Federation shuttlecraft. In Dragon Age, just now, I came across a random encounter wherein a middle-aged man and his wife “Marta” discover a smoking crater containing a child and a strange ore. FUCK. YES. I love you, BioWare.
