Toby and I spent the weekend playing Dragon Age: The Loadening. Yes, its real subtitle is Inquisition, but the load screens are diabolically long.
And when I mean that we played it, is that he handled the controls while I watched. When the character got to a decision point that affected plot, I made the choice, and Toby took care of combat. It makes for a nice together thing, especially because I can sit back reading a book or browsing Reddit while he plays, and we both get the experience of amusing glitches, like remarkably porous stairs into which the characters sink ankle-deep, or the horse that climbed up onto a stone fence. Or the amazing sliding horse that skidded sideways through the stables instead of walking.
I attempted to make the main character look like Toby, and failed completely, ending up with a Roman centurion who just can't even. Toby named him "SerTired," short for "SerTiredOfThisShit," and I've been having him make decisions that fit with that persona.

(I kind of liked that one so I don't think it counts. And it goes away when you're out of the conversation.)

Oh--something I wanted to ask. At one point--and we can't agree on what point it was!--while the party was entering into some area (I thought it was the place dug out by dwarves taken over by Templars) via fighting, there was what sounded like a power chord. We have no idea what caused it--was it some combo that one of the party did, or one of the attackers?--and it hasn't happened since. Have you run into that or know what it was?

(We're also not too far along the main plot, I think--Toby's been what we call "Damoning" the game, after Damon, a friend of ours, whose play style is to do every. last. single. sidequest. possible. in games he plays.)

I think he's related to Mr. Ed or something.
