Origins: the world is ending and you and your one remaining coworker are the only option left to save it.

II: the unavoidable tragedy of a queer friend group/polycule trying and failing to save their fucked up city

Inquisition: you went to a conference and accidentally ended up in charge of saving the entire world (again) with a team of colleagues who are (mostly) professionals and outstanding in their fields.

Veilguard:

Rook: hey, I suffered from “sudden field promotion” after “fucking everything up worse than it already was.” I’m putting a team together to kill at least one, maybe three, Gods

Seven of the most unwell people in Thedas: say no more, I’m in

mourn watch in datv

best backstory (baby ingellvar was literally found in the necropolis by the mourn watchers ??? that's metal af)

best faction-exclusive dialogues

best music

emmrich saying shit like "why don't we visit home? 🥰" and it's literally fcking CATACOMBS

ingellvar is basically a big-ass necromancy nerd

just overall goofy vibes

Varric, thinking back to Cassandra’s hatred of growing up around the Grand Necropolis and the Mortalitasi: So, Rook, you must be glad to be out of there, hm?

Rook, who can’t go home bc they stopped two undead nobles from tearing it apart and miss it soooo much:

fucking crying real tears of laughter at the idea of lucanis letting out a sigh of relief at finally leaving the endless wind-whipped halls of the grand necropolis behind only to find that rook has brought the cursed giant skeleton statues back home with them. and turning to look directly into the camera as only a man who has slept six hours altogether in the last week and is animated only by coffee and spite at this point could. the nevarran lighthouse decor my beloved.

meeting under the sea (busting lucanis dellamorte out of prison)

emmrich and mourn watch rook are just the '(deeply insane) girl you are not insane. and neither am I' club of the lighthouse

so funny in dragon age inquisition where everyone was like "hoooly fuck. can solas shut up. can he stop talking about spirits and the fade for 5 fucking secondsss." is like if you had a coworker who texted you nonstop like "broooo I love surfing i love the sea 💦🏝⛵🌊 haha water and shit yo. man let's hit some waves let's cowabunga let's swim with the fishiessss haha hmu" and then you find out he's poseidon

Treviso vs Minrathous was really funny to me bc it’s like who do we help, the people with a flying warship of a castle and the most high powered mages in the known world who have been fighting a war against the Qunari for generations, or the sexy leather obsessed goths with notoriously no standing army whose only defense is their accent, coffee, and getting the jump on their targets?

respectfully! i think you’re misunderstanding the question being posed, and also how minrathous works. in many or even most cases, the high-powered mages dominating the senate, who have access to tevinter’s military strength, are the venatori, the very same people who called this dragon here in the first place, so that they can use the opportunity to take power. they’re not protecting minrathous from it, they’re performing a coup—meaning even the high-powered mages who aren’t venatori will be occupied defending themselves—while leaving poor districts like dock town to burn and then raiding them in the following days to cut down their only protectors, those few who were trying to help each other

that’s why lucanis points out the immediate threat and human cost, treviso’s lack of defenses and the ease of riddling its canals with blight, and neve is talking about the venatori

and think about it another way: minrathous is the heart of the tevinter imperium and all those armies and magical powerhouses answer to it. treviso isn’t even a capital. you’re fighting a war. which ones of those are you going to keep out of the hands of your enemy? what’s going to let you save more people in the long run?

i don’t think it’s as easy an answer as all that. interested to see how extensive the consequences are of either option!!
