#I do remember that I REALLY hate the broodmother in DA:O

[verothexeno]

I need to find good videos or some written stuff about the lore of Dragon Age, just to refresh my memory .... it's been ages since I last played Inquisition, and even more so for Origins and DA2. I don't even remember most of the choices I did throughout the games :')

I do remember some key points, but overall I'm so lost with the lore. Doesn't help that when I played those games, my English wasn't as good so I was mostly just going through the games on autopilot and giving zero fucks/not understanding about most of what was happening (oops...)

[no-zaku-boy]

Dragon Age!

OH BOY OH BOY. Ty, anon, I’ll try not to ramble too much about this hell from which I cannot escape.

the first character i ever fell in love with: The worst bug in any Bioware game was my f!Warden not being able to romance Morrigan for some reason?? Pretty unacceptable.

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: NONE. ZERO. I LOVE THEM ALL. Maybe Solas? I still like him, but that liking has probably cooled somewhat since my first playthrough of Inquisition.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: Hmm, I don’t think I have one?

my ultimate favorite character™: A MYSTERY TO BE SURE. I don’t remember ever having a 2D crush as strong as the one I have for my husband, Zevran Arainai, who needs to be returned to me immediately, Bioware.

prettiest character: Zevran and Isabela~~

my most hated character: Broodmothers because they make me physically ill. Giant spiders for the same reason.

my OTP: Zev/Warden(/Alistair), Nathaniel/Velanna/Sigrun, and Merribela (with a side of f!Hawke).

my NOTP: Sera x male characters or Dorian x female characters, some parts of the fandom should be stopped.

favorite episode: I’m gonna turn this into favourite area and say Orzammar from Origins. Everything about the dwarf lore in that game was intriguing imo.

saddest death: Here lies Zevran’s beauty, DA:O - DA2. No, but really, any of the party deaths in Awakening are a bummerrrr except maybe some of Justice’s outcomes.

favorite season game: Origins. On a very personal level, it’s the game that helped pull me out of a severe depression by making me kind of care about something for the first time in a long time and also the game that rekindled my love of video games in general after several years of shying away from playing them. But I also think it has the most well-written characters and compelling story line of the series.

least favorite season game: Hmm, probably Inquisition. DA2 had plenty of problems, many of which made the game anywhere from significantly less enjoyable to almost unplayable for me, but it also had a cast that I adored overall. I truly like the companions in DA:I, but they’re the ones I’ve remained the least attached to overall, so it loses big points from me there, despite having some solid quests and beautiful terrain. Idk, it’s hard to pick; they’re both very good games, despite their respective issues!

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Fenrisss. I don’t hate him, but he made it very hard for me to like him during my first (pro-mage) run. Cole is also pretty popular, but I just straight up forget exists sometimes whoops.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Sera. She’s so stubborn and abrasive, but I love her.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Let Aveline have some god damn peace and quiet in this city. Also, Vivienne re: fandom.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: Architect/The Mother; make love, not war, you abominations. (This is a joke, and I have made myself Upset.)

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Oh, lots. Various Warden/companion pairings, same with Inquisitor, Anders/Nathaniel, Aveline/Isabela, Krem/Harding, Blackwall/Josephine, Josephine/Leliana. I’m all over the place, really.

101 Dragon Age Questions

Going to answer it because I’m waiting for dinner

How did you get into Dragon Age? A friend of mine got a Bioware bundle I think, and gave me Origins.

Have you finished all three games? Nope, Currently starting Trespasser and at the beginning of DA2 (finished Origins)

How long did it take you to finish the series? I can say it took me around 50-ish hours to finish Origins and I’m currently at 105h on Inquisition.

What was your first Warden (gender/class/race/personality)? Curiously enough, it was a female mage elf. But since you can’t marry Alistair with that warden, I started a new game with a Warrior Female Human, Ellyah Cousland. Personality wise, I usually go for the dork sarcastic and maybe a tiny violent dialog. I can’t really remember, it was 2 years ago :T

What was your first Hawke like (gender/class/temperament)? First Hawke was a male mage, I actually forgot his name, with the sarcastic temperament. Best.Hawke.Ever

First Inquisitor (gender/class/race/personality)? Mage \female (my headcanon, they are agender but we have to choose one so YEH)\, again with the sarcasm violent dork. Also another headcanon, they aren’t a Lavellan, but a Mahariel (dalish origin from Origins), but that’s another story.

Favorite DA:O backstory? I only played the dalish mage and the noble warrior, so I’m going with the second one.

Preferred class overall? Mage. I wish they were stronger ;_;

Do you tend to play male or female characters most? Good question. I’d say it’s 50/50. Right now I have 2 male inquisitors created, and 1 female (let’s make it 2 then). on Origins I’ve only played female, on DA2 I’ve only played with males.

Share a pic of your favorite OC from any DA game. My “Lavellan”

Best Hawke quote? I have no idea, he’s a fun ball, all of them???

Do you prefer DA:O, DA2, or DA:I most? DA:O for nostalgia, DA:I for gameplay, DA2 for Handers

Favorite mission from DA:O? not the fade

Favorite DA:O party combo? Alistair, Morrigan and Zevran

Favorite DA:O companion overall? Alistair ;3c

DA:O: Did your Warden survive? She sure did

Favorite DA:I place? Anything elf-like. Really. It’s where I was happy

Did your Inquisitor choose the Mages or the Templars? Mages

Which did you leave behind (Abyss)? Hawke. Here’s why: Anders died and I wanted him to join him in Andraste’s bosom. Besides, Strout had to restore the Wardens. 

Inquisitor’s feelings on being the Herald of Andraste? They don’t believe in it, but if the people want to, then what can they do? (aside from denying it every time)

What are your feelings on the Chantry? I’m going to skip this one sorry

What are your feelings on the Circle? Needs retirement tbh

DLC for the first 2 games: All of it, some of it, or none of it? All of them I guess?
