#Dragon Age Exodus

[cadaveerie]

reblog for more answers? this is about all games, very broadly. even if you change it mid game or at some points, what's the one you usually play the most? feel free to make clarifications if you want in the reblogs/replies :] also, this is obviously judgement free. all options are completely fine, we're all different and have different interests.

CONFESSION:

Its really annoying and ridiculous to see people still crapping on Dragon Age 2 after eleven years. I religiously played Origins back then and kept up to date with everything that was said publicly about Dragon Age 2. The developers stated not to expect a sequel to Origins and they stated they would never do full on sequels. And I was fine with that. I loved playing Hawke and I loved the companions and their dynamic with each other. Now it was not a flawless game but it still thoroughly entertained me and I got my money's worth. But then again I have zero issues playing human protagonists. I will never understand why people can't let it go and move on and let the rest of us enjoy these games. As great as the warden was they did not have the same depth like Shepard from the Mass Effect Trilogy to be the protagonist in all three games.

And I will always believe they should have gotten rid of the 2 and called it Dragon Age Exodus.

Playing dragon age 2 fills me with a sense of profound longing for what dragon age exodus could've been. If EA had any brains they would let Bioware remake exodus and while yeah the overall story beats would have to be the same to fit in with the established DA canon, we can start afresh with basically everything else using the simple reasoning of da2 was Varric giving Cassandra the condensed (and censored) version.

Imagine a longer prologue where we have more time to get attached to Carver and Bethany and see them interact, imagine seeing all the side quests they had to scrap, imagine more companion quests more romance scenes just more time with these characters in general. Da2 is the shortest game with the longest time span! Imagine the extra content they could fit into each of the 3 year time skips!

idk man da2 is great but imagine if they had the same time to make it as the other mainline games... it would've been phenomenal. Also considering how beloved da2 is already with the state that its in a more complete version could’ve been the undisputed best game in the series.

people always talk about their types throughout the DA games and how telling it is of them. always choosing the mages or the elves, things like that.

I chose Alistair after his joke about wearing a dress. I was locked in. I was also playing a F!Amell and very upset when I realized I couldn't pursue Morrigan, but otherwise locked in.

I chose Fenris after multiple rejections and, tbh, I really liked his voice and I already have a thing for guys with white hair. There's a post about it somewhere deep in my feed. So yeah. Locked. In.

Haven't played DAI yet but I know I'm def going for Cullen and Solas (in that order). I reblog a lot of Solas content, and that's entirely because of dreadwolf lore and my love for tragic romances, but Cullen has been marked as my target since I reviewed the romancable characters list (I like to know my options, sue me). Cullen > Solas, sorry not sorry.

I reviewed the most recent companions for DATV and DAVRIN?? might just start barking and have hearts jump out of my eyes.

Anyways, after reviewing my list of love interests (potential and committed) throughout the games, I realized what my type was.

Warriors.

Alistair, Fenris, Cullen, Davrin. All warrior classes.

and what's my preferred class to play without fail? mage.

I'm apparently really into the Mage x Warrior trope, specifically when paired with someone you wouldn't expect to fall for a mage. Alistair is an ex-templar. Fenris is anti-mage due to his experience living in Tevintar. Cullen is a templar and went through a pretty hardcore anti-mage phase. However, Davrin, the charming grey warden and monster hunter? Yeeeeeeeeah, I'm very excited to learn more about his character.

The way I never got over this man.

finished da2 and now staring into the abyss because I was going to execute anders, but when it came down to it realized that cassius would absolutely be down with the extreme action (as someone who has taken extreme measures to protect his remaining family, which anders has now become) and would love the opportunity to get bethany back. so i spared him for the first time ever and I am not disappointed

the line "in ten years - a hundred years - someone like me will love someone like you and there will be no templars to keep them apart" made me sob.

[crynwr-drwg]

Started a new da2 play through, and was very intent on not romancing anders for once. Have accidentally already failed.

October 15th - Favorite DA2 companion

Not much of a surprise, but Anders! For about the same reason as he's my favorite romance. I also enjoy his dynamic with Justice and how that anxiety of corrupting Justice ties into his character as the acts go on

I love how every post about the Kirkwall gang just completely ignores Sebastian like "No, we don't claim the rich choir boy" and then makes the most in-depth analysis and insane headcanons of the disaster bisexuals. 10/10 no notes

[silver-horse]

CULLEN! That’s hilarious, say that again! 🤣

[cullenakingirog]

[TRANSLATION: Must be nice being blanketed. I’m not.  😭]

Yes I will make use of any cat owner photos for Anders and Gale of Waterdeep lmao

it’s a habit and besides it fits. Benedicta likes sleeping with both their partners but at least Fenris lets Kababayan sleep on their bed it just isn’t fair that Anders gets to keep Snowdrop with him 😭 😭 😭

I was rifling through Reddit for posts on Dragon Age: The Veilguard and stumbled across a comment mentioning that DA2 also had a name change like DATV in which the original title was much cooler. Would you like to know what Dragon Age 2 was originally called?

Dragon Age: Exodus

DRAGON AGE: EXODUS

Exodus: noun. a going out; a departure or emigration, usually of a large number of people.

All of the main cast are technically foreigners to Kirkwall. All or most of those immigrants are there because of the Blight. Merrill's clan was from Fereldan. Aveline and the Hawke family? Fereldan. Hawke and Aveline get a lot of flack for being Fereldans in positions of power. Fenris? He's from Tevinter. Isabela? She's from the first game and we meet her in Fereldan but I believe she's of Rivaini ancestry if not originally from there. Anders literally got his name based on where he's from, the Anderfels. Based on his accent though (I remember nothing about the Anderfels), he's grown up mostly in Fereldan. Iirc, he was brought to a mage circle in Fereldan as a young child before joining the Grey Wardens and then became an apostate (he just runs away from everything). Varric? As far as I know, Orzammar is the only location Dwarves are from, though Orzammar runs wide and deep. A big theme in Kirkwall is some locals hate how foreigners keep coming in and "taking their jobs" or just ruining Kirkwall's existence with their presence. Immigration was a big theme. Being a foreigner was a big theme.

Damnit Bioware. Why did you have to change such a cool and fitting title?

Also, please remove The from the upcoming game. Dragon Age: Veilguard sounds much better than Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd. You didn't do Dragon Age: The Inquisition.
