Author's note: Umm... I was kind of bored, and I'd just read "120 Things I'm Not Allowed To Do At Hogwarts" by Cliodna. I came up with this list as I was coming home from college. It was a good drive home.
BloodandDiamonds, I'd like to thank you for adding that to your favourites list, which is where I found the story.
So, without further ado, I present to you: 100 Dragon Age themed things I will not do in real life.
Enjoy!
