actually no, I think people should actually know that this is what I think of whenever the game mentions the Blackwall and keeping AIs sealed behind it:

The Security Flag in the IPv4 Header

(you can read this joke RFC in its full original format here: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3514.txt)

Abstract

Firewalls, packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and the like often have difficulty distinguishing between packets that have malicious intent and those that are merely unusual. We define a security flag in the IPv4 header as a means of distinguishing the two cases.

1. Introduction

Firewalls [CBR03], packet filters, intrusion detection systems, and the like often have difficulty distinguishing between packets that have malicious intent and those that are merely unusual. The problem is that making such determinations is hard. To solve this problem, we define a security flag, known as the "evil" bit, in the IPv4 [RFC791] header. Benign packets have this bit set to 0; those that are used for an attack will have the bit set to 1.

1.1. Terminology

The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in this document, are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

2. Syntax

The high-order bit of the IP fragment offset field is the only unused bit in the IP header. Accordingly, the selection of the bit position is not left to IANA.

The bit field is laid out as follows:

0

+-+

|E|

+-+

Currently-assigned values are defined as follows:

0x0 If the bit is set to 0, the packet has no evil intent. Hosts, network elements, etc., SHOULD assume that the packet is harmless, and SHOULD NOT take any defensive measures. (We note that this part of the spec is already implemented by many common desktop operating systems.)

0x1 If the bit is set to 1, the packet has evil intent. Secure systems SHOULD try to defend themselves against such packets. Insecure systems MAY chose to crash, be penetrated, etc.

---

Now, presumably the implementation of this RFC on all network traffic makes the Blackwall very easy to operate! All "bad" (AI) traffic is set with an evil bit, and all "good" (non-AI) traffic has the evil bit unset. This has the added benefit of protecting everyone against any network attacks, as there is absolutely no way anyone would ever make their evil attacks look like normal network traffic because that would be ILLEGAL!

God I forgot what an absolute lunatic blackwall is

Man is just out in the hinterlands cosplaying. Like replaying the game knowing Solas is the Dread Wolf adds all this cool intrigue and double meaning but replaying it knowing about Blackwall is fucking wild. He looks you in the face and lies directly out of his ass. Solas is all doublespeak and careful omission and Blackwall just fully makes shit up. What a madlad. I'm obsessed with him. he's so fake it til you make it. He would kill it on TikTok just like "oh yeah grey wardens can't get COVID it's right here in the treaties" and no one calls him on it because the treaties are old as fuck and boring. Alistair (who is supposed to be able to sense the Blight) is like oh hey blackwall haha we've definitely met I totally remember you. No you Haven't, Alistair. You've never seen this jackass ever in your life. He looks Solas, god of betrayal, in the eyes and says with full confidence "Yes, I am a Grey Warden." And Solas is like Sure. Iron Bull? Buys his bullshit completely. Leliana? Thinks he's cool. Everyone else is like "you smell like shit but I guess that's just how Wardens smell" and he's like "Damn Right It Is Have I Told You My Vietnam Stories" guy was born in '68. You can flirt with him almost immediately. Character of all time. What the fuck.

[ree-duh]

The only reason Blackwall doesn’t look like this in game is because if he did look like this no one would want to sleep with egg man or the catholic cop

100% support the devs on doing what they need to to balance gameplay, and i'm excited to try the new combat system, but I'll miss the surprise additions to chatter.

Everyone is here!!!

not to be thirsty on main but Blackwall/Thom Rainier's post-redemption romance tarot card in Inquisition is the single hottest piece of video game artwork ever rendered.

Its so beautifully possessive. The glowing hand over his heart to me says 'I am hers', body and soul.

11/10 romance, so glad my Lavellan romanced him in my canon world state.

Kinda wish I had something like the Blackwell gateway quickhack irl like imagine just "I don't like you so now you brain has been completely fried by rouge ais beyond our control" or that one ability you get in one of the endings where you can just close your hand and erase entire groups of people

[dragon--sage]

when i tell you i ran around the frostback basin for HOURS with cole, solas, and blackwall to get this dialogue to trigger (console hell)..... and i would do it again, too. it's about the foreshadowing, it's about cole knowing all their dirt but not spilling it, it's about solas not saying a god damn word even though he knows cole knows. it's about blackwall probably thinking about this for HOURS afterwords, turning over what cole meant, what cole knows... oof i hope veilguard can deliver banter that hits like this.

[wolfsong-the-bloody-beast]

I find it so funny how Blackwall, when unguarded, is like, "fuck, balls, tits, whore." But 5 minutes from getting to know the lady Inquisitor, especially if she expresses interest in him, he's like, "My lady, I am but your humble servant, undeserving of your care or attention. Indeed, my sword-arm, nay, my whole being is at your disposal. I shall lay down my life at your word, or mere gesture, a look, even. I am but a stool ready to be stepped on."
