One of my fave things about the DA games is the parallels of characterization between the protags.

The Warden and The Inquisitor both have a kind of dignity and honor about them. They're both like "I absolutely did not want to be in this position, but here I am and we'll get this done one way or another." They both force people to work together for a greater good and unite under their banner and both are reasonably competent at their jobs.

Hawke and Rook on the other hand... things are just going wrong constantly for them, they are both consistently on their 13th reason, and their main defense is a "the horrors persist but so do I" attitude. They also did not want to be in the position they're in but they're "DOING MY FUCKING BEST CUT ME SOME SLACK I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE STEPPING UP" and if one more thing goes wrong they're both going to just start biting people.

(Bonus points: write in the tags what class + origin (when applicable) you'd rather be if you could choose)

I’m thinking about the Legacy DLC in dragon age 2, and how if you complete it after Leandra is already dead Hawke still has a conversation with her afterwards

And since this is being told from Varric’s writing it’s really him saying ‘I am giving them a moment with their mother. I’m trying to give them the closure they couldn’t find. I’m telling them the words they cannot hear’ and I think I’m about to cry

people are wrong about chosen family. chosen family can become just as involuntary and inescapable as regular family if you use your fucking imagination

I find it fascinating that while DATV deals with regrets, people obsessed with what could've been, "restoring" former glories or potential victories, there are SO many people obsessed with "fixing Veilguard" or mourning the loss of Joplin.

"Why do you hate found family" you guys will call characters who r literally coworkers siblings its stupid.

Davrin's like, "I carve figures of monsters out of wood to study their weak points, so I can kill them better," and you look at his work and there are just so many nugs.
