It really gets you Immersed in the Feeling of having to Haul Ass multiple times to Avert the Apocalypse.

It’s Miserable. It’s Greige. Your Companions are a Light in the Darkness. They are also driving you Insane. People are ungrateful as Shit. You cannot fix anything that matters in the long term. Your efforts are rendered entirely Futile by Veilguard’s time.

10/10. Would drink Disease-infested Blood again. Would have sex to reincarnate God again. Would quest to find the Tomb of Female Jesus again.

Playing dragon age origins be like

Damn I don’t wanna go to ostagar

Damn I don’t wanna go to redcliffe

Damn I don’t wanna do the mage tower

Damn I don’t wanna go to orzammar

Damn I don’t wanna go to denerim

Damn I don’t wanna do the forest

Damn I don’t wanna do the temple

Damn I don’t wanna do the final battle

*finishes game*

Wow what a fucking phenomenal game

Not to harp on about a DLC character of all things, but my god was Shale ahead of their time.

Seamlessly tied into the lore and story of the game.

Gave us a dwarven companion that wasn’t ….him….

What I truly adore about Shale is their embrace of their body. It would have been so easy for the writers to shoehorn in body dysmorphia for the one (formerly) female character without an hourglass figure, but they didn’t!!!!

Shale adored their gemstones and decorated their body happily. Openly discussed enjoying their stone form, the practicality of it, how beautiful they thought it was. They don’t mourn their old form or gender, because it was Shale that chose to change in the first place.

As a woman that’s always been stronger and larger, god I adore Shale. Every time I find myself sucking in my stomach I remind myself of them. That I too possess the strength and snark capable of throwing stones and looking wonderful. They are not mutually exclusive.

“Let us crush heads, that is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?”.

Surana and Zevran are actually so tragic because they were both forced into a role that they never wanted at a young age. They happen to excel at those roles and they used their success to block out all the tragedy and cruelty that they experienced because they saw what those less talented went through and they knew that they had to do as they were told or they would end up like all the others.

by the way. do we actually know what the rite of tranquility looks like? does it include anything other than process of branding the person with lyrium? because just that wouldn’t qualify for being called a rite, so there must be an established procedure. and since originally the rite was developed for the seekers and was part of their inauguration to the order and eventual communication with the spirits of faith, they must have developed a special ceremony for it. when the seekers shared the rite with the circles after their establishment, the meaning of it obviously changed, but it's still a religious procedure. it's also important here that it isn't always presented as punishment, but a chance for salvation for the mages (those who fear the harrowing are pressured into can also choose it). and if you're wondering, why the templars and the chantry would go out of their way for it, it's not really for the mages' sake. the ritualistic, repeatable and repetitive character of violence normalizes it, makes it a part of the system, thus detaching the participants from the reality of their responsibility and providing justification for it. also, i don't expect the rite of tranquility to be more elaborate than the harrowing and for it to involve that many people. it wouldn't be as practical and common otherwise.

so my question here is this: do they read the chant when they put a burning stamp to one's head? what part?

After Baldur's Gate 3 win on GA, I can't stop thinking about how much the world needs a Dragon Age Origins remaster.

I love DAO with warm tenderness and every time I launch BG3 I experience strong bouts of nostalgia: companions, romantic lines, ample opportunities for roleplaying both an evil and a good character, AND EVEN THE DAMMIT CAMP!!!

I'm sure that current BG3 fans would love a remaster of DAO, these games are too great and similar in spirit and atmosphere.

This tiktok just reflects my emotions.
