Our productivity took a nosedive when Dragon Age: Inquisition was released. We picked up zero-day copy at Walmart and proceeded to become sleep deprived and dehydrated as we explored Haven, the Hinterlands and the Storm Coast. Although not nearly as funny or sarcastic as our hero in Dragon Age 2, our new hero has nearly endless possibilities to explore and collect in the new open world gameplay. We took a break for Melody to prepare the Thanksgiving hybrid dinner for her side of the family, which we transported to her sister’s house since we lacked a dining table. On Saturday, we drove to the Bay area for brunch with a few friends, then stocked up at Container Store and Crate & Barrel. We discovered Pacific East Mall in Richmond on the way back, and got our Asian grocery and Canto seafood fix before coming home. The rest of the weekend was spent closing Fade Rifts and seeking out a new artificial Christmas tree at various Home Depots, Walmart, and Michael’s, but ended up with a lot of decorations instead. Hopefully we’ll have a tree before the actual holiday arrives.
