No problem, its handy that you are already next to the Greece.

Stop it. You guys are making me Hungary.

As for LeftNine, it shouldn't insult you as there was no insult in the comment (as Turkey is geographically neighbours to Greece) though, it was a pun on the word Greece to mean Grease, as in basting your Turkey.

Anyway, it is amazing to see there are so many mods out already, like unofficial fixs for the dagger bug, and other things.

Oh was it so ? Enjoyable.

I got my DA:O shipped yesterday. I give around 2 weeks for it to arrive and I can taste that awesomeness at last.

Addendum to that last post about Blood Mages. I just remembered, last night a certain NPC said that the Grey Wardens have no prohibition on blood magic, and (spoiler only if you haven't if you haven't finished the Ostagar sequence near the beginning of the game):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

...there is that sequence in the Joining where you drink blood as part of the ritual of becoming a Grey Warden. That provides an ability to find nearby Darkspawn, and it could be seen as a minor form of blood magic.

So apparently it's just the Circle of Mages and the Templars that have a problem with it, and not the entire good-aligned game world. It does seem to fit the "whatever it takes to get the job done" alignment of the Wardens.

Also, (spoiler if you have, or are planning to get the Warden's Keep DLC and haven't played it yet):

This relationship of the Wardens to blood magic is further explored in the Warden's Keep story line, and it's related to the extra ability you can gain there. Although, it's hard to tell if the use of blood magic in that case was an extreme outlier, or a common thing with Wardens in the past.
