All of my Dragon Age Origins companion portraits! I've taken some liberties here and there, but I tried to keep the essence of the characters ❤️

(warning i'm about to ramble over something small)

So, if cousland tells alistair that they're family was just murdered, he sayd "how stupi of me to forget" which means he was told prior, but before this conversation, the warden can never actually tell Alistair about what happened in Highever (as far as i remember, the topic never comes up. you can tell others you're from highever or that you're the teynr's child, but besides Cailan, you can't tell them you're whole family is dead)

now, considering that alistair says that you must be the recruit duncan talked about (if you tell him your name, he even says like ah right that was the name), that means between the duncan recruiting/conscripting the warden and them arriving at ostagar, he most likely sent a letter to alistair.

which leads me to this: i cannot stop thinking about duncan writing a letter to alistair ahead of time to tell him about the recruit and saying "oh yeah by the way, the arl of amaranthine kiilled their whole family so maybe don't bring it up"

this wasnt even supposed to get this detailed-- just some fan service for myself that got out of hand

i'm starting a transcript project like daitranscripts and da2transcripts for dragon age origins.

one thing i've noticed is that zevran is such a different companion compared to the other's. he doesn't have a companion quest.

there's the list of companion quests. no zevran. he's the only one that doesn't ask you for anything, just the implicit protection being with you gives him.

he's also the only one that will offer to stay by your side at the end of the game provided you have a good relationship. he doesn't need to be romanced to stay with you. otherwise all the others go their own way and offer to let you join them.

anyway, im normal about him.

Happy belated Dragon Age day!

favorite dragon age companion - BORING

tell me your LEAST FAVORITE dragon age companion

married almost all my player characters to antivans requiring some insane post-canon logistics to figure out whether one country is big enough for the three of them

A crow suddenly finds out he's appreciated not only for seduction and murder

My plan was to draw all the mage companions in this style last year... I never got around to it but I thought I'd put the three I did finish together!

buried somewhere in my drafts is I am pretty sure a half-baked post musing about what a deep personal betrayal alistair would consider it if he ever found out that duncan not only knew who his mom was, but knew her well and fought alongside her and probably held him right after he was born, and didn't tell him any of it, and then died. like everyone else in his life letting him down is par for the course but duncan was supposed to be different. idk man whatever it is that they have going on between the two of them makes me feral. I'm chewing on the walls

i drew the DA:O LIs as little kids once a long time ago and i wanted to do it again because sometimes the very thought of it makes me wanna cry

saving Amaranthine was tough

that’s it

that’s the dragon age series

a gang of nerds follow you around thedas and they bicker like children and you love them to bits because they’re nerds but they’re your nerds

[briarhearted-fool]

love when you do fenris’ recruitment quest and your companions are like “the alienage is so quiet... spooky... something must be afoot...” except this is dragon age 2 so the alienage is full of random other unrelated mercenaries trying to kill you

there’s something so funny to me about the average age of the awakening companions seeming significantly older than the origins companions, but the hero of ferelden is still the same age. origins is like a ragtag band of kids with their grandma, weird uncle and pet rock. awakening is a bunch of millennials with actual skills and experience in the world realising that the zoomer in charge of them is running on burnt out lyrium vapes and lied on their resume
