It’s insane to me that Dragon Age 2 is sandwiched in between two WAY HUGER and WAY MORE SUCCESSFUL games about more traditional fantasy protagonists facing off against world ending threats and winning and it’s this…weird, raw, personal tragedy about how no matter what you do, you can’t always stop crisis and disaster from occurring. Like The Hero or Ferelden, no matter who they were, wants to stop a Blight. The Inquisitor wants to repair the sky. And Hawke, like, wants to make some money, hang around their friends, and keep their family and their adoptive city safe. And they can’t even fucking do that, so unlike the heroes before and after them. You spend seven years in Kirkwall until the game says, “yeah, no matter what, the prejudices and traumas and hurts of this world are Too Much for one person to stop them. The world changes, wars roll over the land, you cannot stop history, Hawke. You tried. You failed.” And then you just sit there, sixteen years old, listening to “I’m Not Calling You A Liar” and you’re like….well, I guess I really wasn’t a hero. Damn. I love it.

Davrin's romance is so funny. "I'm all about the thrill of the chase" bro I told you you looked cute one time and your icon immediately changed to a little heart meanwhile I could show up in Lucanis' pantry completely naked and he'd at most ask if I wanted coffee

i need everyone to consider vivienne and dorian bonding over taking care of the inquisitor after the end of dragon age inquisition as the mark progressively gets worse and worse. vivienne with her past of watching bastien get sicker and sicker and dorian doing the same with felix, and seeing it repeat with the inquisitor. take my hand 🖐,,

Blue Hawke calls it their diary

Red Hawke calls it, flatly, a journal

Purple Hawke calls it A Detailed Accounting of the Rigorous and Remarkable Struggles Faced by One Fereldan Refugee in the Singularly Capricious City of Kirkwall, as Experienced by the Illustrious Author

what do you mean, solas-cole banter in da:i includes cole saying things like "he did not want a body. but she asked him to come. he left a scar when he burned her off his face" or "they made bodies from the earth. and the earth was afraid. it fought back. but they made it forget." what do you mean. what do you mean!!!

My dash did the thing

Thank goodness Lucanis got possessed by a demon that already matched his color scheme. The purple wings and eyes for the Demon of Vyrantium? I bet half the Crows who saw him fight Illario with Spite forgot to be scared because he just looked so damn stylish

But can you imagine if he got possessed by Rage? Orange and red glowing everywhere? For an Antivan Crow in blue leathers? He’d be a clown. Utter disgrace

when you thought you could fix him, and then your boyfriends bombs a church. Unfortunately, that leaves only one way to fix this
