I always find it a little funny and amusing the common "Corypheus's For I have seen the throne of the gods, and it was empty! is such a raw line, it goes so hard" because I've always been DEEPLY unimpressed with it. it comes across for me as super tryhard and edgy. I can't be impressed with it because it feels like it's TRYING to impress me, it's straining too hard to be A Good Line that it sounds forced. like, I don't even think it's the best line of that MONOLOGUE, let alone the whole scene.

#“I will not suffer even an unknowing rival” is a better line tbh #“I have gathered the will to return under no name but my own‚ to champion withered Tevinter and correct this Blighted world” is also better #it's also a bit of a ? when you remember Genitivi wrote that the Golden City and the Maker's throne was unattended after the First Sin #suggesting that at least SOME people in the south believe as is that the Golden City and the throne is empty #so like who is Corypheus trying to impress here. like yes you did find the Throne empty. some in the Chantry already say you did.#yes yes the silence of the Maker and his abandoned throne we all heard of it #(inb4: YEs I know he was following the Old Gods but he's trying to monologue about this at like the Chantry or someone representing it)#tbh now I'm thinking way too hard about this because— actually I won't get into dogma and theology and faith and Andrastianism #because the point really is more that this line doesn't impress me bc it's tryhard and less about its intersection with creeds #DA things
