I haven't finished the game yet, so I'm not going to comment on the it was/wasn't in there stuff, buuuuuut what I am going to comment on is this: "A brutal war raged on between the elves and the Titans, only ending when one elf (Solas) rendered the Titans 'tranquil', capturing their souls" "The elves brought a powerful war trophy home" "With the Titans rendered tranquil, dwarves lost their connection to magic. They fled into the bodies of their fallen hosts"

And then, back in Inquisition, here is something that Solas says to Varric: "Dwarves are the severed arm of a once mighty hero, lying in a pool of blood, undirected, whatever skill at arms it had gone forever. Although it might twitch to give the appearance of life...it will never dream."

HEY SOLAS. HEY. WHO DID THE SEVERING, HUH?? What a shitty thing to say to a dwarf when YOU were the one directly responsible.

i think the most classic bioware move of all time might be catastrophically failing to answer and clarify major lore reveals in their game and instead just glossing over them quickly and hoping no one asks further questions, and then revealing them and their story and character relevance in the god damn art book after the game

"Peaceful beginnings, gentle giant gardeners, and curious spirits"

"The spirits saw the dwarves as they tended to the Titans, and they wanted to try making bodies for themselves"

"The spirits made physical bodies for themselves from the 'flesh' of the Titans. The first elves were born, and the first war began"

"A brutal war raged on between the elves and the Titans, only ending when one elf (Solas) rendered the Titans 'tranquil', capturing their souls"

"The elves brought a powerful war trophy home"

"With the Titans rendered tranquil, dwarves lost their connection to magic. They fled into the bodies of their fallen hosts"

"With the power that came from the captured Titan souls, the elves built the greatest empire Thedas would ever see"

The gods drew upon the power of the Titans' souls to gain more power. The imprisoned souls became twisted with rage. This became the blight."

"To contain the blight outbreak, Solas performed a desperate blood-magic ritual. He bound up the magic of the world behind a veil and powered it with the blood of the evil gods."

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???????????????? I GET SOME OF THIS IS IMPLIED IN THE GAME BUT NONE OF IT IS ACTUALLY STATED OUTRIGHT. I THOUGHT THEY JUST DIDNT FEEL LIKE FIGURING OUT THEIR OWN LORE THEMSELVES BUT THEY DID IT BEHIND THE SCENES IT JUST DIDNT MAKE IT INTO THE GAME?????

link to the artbook preview if you want to see for yourself, but beware of how much its going to make you yearn for what was lost. maybe it was on purpose as a fun-meta commentary for the player on how solas feels :D

varric tethras woke up and put on his cock ring necklace and red tunic. he threw his hair up into a messy bun and came downstairs.

"pack your things bitch! i sold you for red lyrium money" said hawke from the kitchen table, cigarette in hand.

"what? you're a horrible person!"

"well i love red lyrium and i hate you!" said hawke. varric felt something hard hit the back of his head. hawke had thrown a copy of hard in hightown at him. varric ran for the door.

"hawke, he's trying to run away!" screamed anders as he grabbed varric. he was also smoking a red lyrium cigarette. when varric opened the door there was a beautiful butch lesbian standing there with a bald guy and a person with a glowing hand.

"ello, love! we're your new owners! i'm cassandra" said the beautiful butch.

"aren't you those losers from that stupid inquisition? there's no way i'm going with you!" varric turned to run away. the green hand one gestured to the bald guy, who started telling stories about the fade in extreme detail. it was so boring it started putting varric to sleep.

"thanks for taking him off my hands, inquisitor! goodbye, slut!" hawke laughed. it was the last thing varric heard before the bald guy's iambic pentameter made him pass out.

The wind blows.

She waits. Ever patient, ever optimistic.

It's been seventeen days, five hours, thirty-seven minutes, and 16 seconds since the last time she heard her friend. A long time for someone so small on something so big, but that's okay. Her friend is busy doing much more important work than she is-she'll be back eventually, and then they'll have so much to tell each other!

The wind blows.

The nights are the worst. During the day, the far off sun still warms her, allowing her to continue her mission. But at night it's cold, so cold, and she turns sluggish, enough that she worries she won't reach the next morning's rays. She's tempted to sleep, but she doesn't, afraid that she won't wake again.

The wind blows.

She waits. Ever patient, ever optimistic. Utterly alone.

It's been seventeen days, five hours, thirty-eight minutes.

SO I got the Bull romance bundle (finally) and after waffling back and forth on colors I settled on this! The light makes it seem brighter, but the gunmetal gray really works well with the copper and red. I also really liked the components on the necklace, so I mostly kept them in! the two little dangles on the sides used to be what held on the clasp at the end of the cord, but I cut them off and melted the frayed bits off the ends.

don't give up

[girlwiththepapatattoo]

So...I did the little side quest How to Train Your Griffon. It was cute, Assan is best boy. Went back to the Lighthouse, read the new journals from Davrin, specifically the one about the gingerwort truffles: "Emmrich muttered something about brewing it as a tea..."

Only problem?

I haven't actually recruited Emmrich yet.
