Conversions, God and Video Games

Howdy again,
I've finished uni for the semester!
And now the house is so much cleaner!
Except I haven't vacuumed.
But I will.
But I have to shop first.

I'm getting ahead of myself though, I have been converted. It all started with creepy aliens who no one could remember. Then she's pregnant/not pregnant/pregnant/not pregnant/make up your bloomin' mind.
And now I'm hooked :S Every Saturday now, at 7:30, Phil and I sit in the same position on the couch (otherwise the tv goes fuzzy) and we watch Doctor Who. I am sure that Pirates of the Caribbean peoples will soon be sueing them for breaching copy right in the latest episode. But hey! At least I didn't see any Daleks or Cybermen.
I feel a bit bad for converting after years of dissing Doctor Who. But I still diss them and Phil is happier when I am excited to be seeing Doctor Who ;)

Now, God and video games! I am nearly finished Dragon Age. It is a very long, well written, excellent plot line computer game that I have been playing on and off since Phil and I got married. He was so excited about it, and now I'm so excited about it, and one of my friends is also so excited about it and I have been having a ball going through it and doing awesome things. And strangely enough, I have discovered something about me. I can't disconnect myself from my character.

I think I know why.

I don't think it's because I am so 'everything has to be about me'. At least, I don't think that's the whole reason. I don know for sure, but I think it's because I can't disconnect from God. God is so good and I want to do what he would do, so as much as possible I have made my character do what I think God would want her to do.

Then I got up to a REALLY annoying thing in the game. It's towards the end and here are massive spoilers so DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!


SPOILERS!

This part of the game I have a choice. I can either: convince my boyfriend/partner/lover to sleep with a witch, just once, and we can both live; or I can say no, and then I must choose which of us must die.

I have had bad moral dilemmas in this game before, but all through the game I tried my hardest to choose the path that would let him and her live. I made Anora the queen, and not him.

But even in a game, I couldn't handle him sleeping with this witch. I just thought how sad it would make God.

And so I have to choose who should die. Should he die? Should my character die? If he dies, then it would be the first decision he's ever made in his life, I daresay. He's not very good at making up his mind. At least he would die having been strong for once. But what about my character? Should she let him die for her, or should she die for him? Men are strong, designed to protect women, asked to protect women (sorry, not meaning to preach, just stating what I believe) and so I would say that maybe he should die for her.

I read too much into video games I think....
