My partner started the obsession!

I went a long time without playing video games and the last game I'd played was FFX. My partner tried to get me to play Skyrim and that.... that went terribly. I was convinced I couldn't play new games and was a terrible gamer~

So he popped DA:O into the 360 (which was old but not that old at the time) and was like "Here. This is more linear. You're going to love it."

He was not wrong! I played two games back to back, and DA:I was released shortly after I finished my second playthrough, so I jumped to it.

I played DA2 after that and took several years before I joined the fandom.
