Episode 76 - Freedom In Our Sights
July 08, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBWe're here to close out Fenris and Isabela's stories this week, and I guess we can also throw Sebastian in there because that's about as much care as Bioware gave him. Isabela has heard word that Castillion is in Kirkwall, and Fenris' long lost sister just arrived in town, too. It's time to settle some affairs as we head into the end game. Also, Leliana is here. For some reason. Enjoy the show! Become a Normandy FM patron: http://patreon.com/normandyfm Follow us on Twitter: Normandy FM: ...
