god a character can really drive you insane
#my inquisitor is a dalish elf#apprentice hearthkeeper to their clan#all but ready to take on the mantle#but their hearthkeeper is old and stubborn and functions well enough that they still run the show#in any case my lavellan has been feeling so alone and so far apart from their clan#and so guilty#they went to the conclave with a group of others - including the first#and they were the one that survived#all they wwant to do is close the breach and go back to the clan but god they are so out of depth and just relied on by e v e r y o n e#while they were looking forward to becoming hearthkeeper they were NOT prepared for all this responsibility#and death#they've never had to fight so many humans in their life#and then they close the breach finally. time to put this all behind them#visit some clans to investigate their hand and close fade rifts along the way#and then corypheus#and learning that its because of the damn mark again they can't catch a break they can't leave#ugh the dialogue choices with corypheus were good#just take it!! i never wanted this!!!!#and then surviving. again.#and then the long walk towards the survivors#cursing their luck#cursing fenharel who appears to be walking by their side#(little do they know)#and they're walking back alone. none of the people they've met. none of the people they slightly admire#and i think that's so much worse for them as someone who has been in a clan and never really been solo solo before#getting up because they have to and walking forward.#and i think that they were so mad that they had to sacrifice themself#but they would have rather died in the avalanche than freeze to death all alone in the mountains#so then when they come back to the inquisition and cassandras like lead us :) zayrns like WHAT#and then she comes back with if you dont youll be alone and man what a time to hit that to them

The list of Notable Blood Mages on the dragon age wiki is so fucking funny like it's literally

I’m sure Dumat being defeated the same year andraste was born means nothing
I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that andrastes mother was part of a tribe who helped the grey wardens fight and defeat dumat the same year she was born, meaning that she could have been a fetus affected by the taint in the proximity of a dying arch demon
And the fact that nobody knows which grey warden killed dumat, as seven wardens died from injuries from his death throes, and therefore we cannot actually identify a warden who absorbed his soul, means nothing
And I’m sure it is a complete coincidence that andraste had dreams and visions of the being later referred to as the maker her whole life, and behaved strangely, talking about hearing lost voices and seeing strange auras. That absolutely doesn’t sound like anyone else we know
#dragon age#hi I don’t know if these are hot takes anymore or if I’m actually going insane#this could still work with the maker being mythal#(as in the thing that spoke to andraste. claims unverified)#there’s a theory of an 8th old god struck from record#so there’s still enough old gods to account for mythal being dumat#(the 8th old god is associated with sea monsters so that would be Ghilan’nain if that were the case. which is probably one of the ones we#see escaping)#what doesn’t add up is only two escape but there would be three left if this were the case#unless corypheus’ dragon WAS an arch demon and was razikale or Lusacan (which I believe are most likely dirthamen and elgar’nan)#which seem to be the two candidates for the other escaped evanuris#so things could add up#in terms of mythal learning about the tainted fetus stuff she could have done that observing#but it would make sense for her to learn from practice#I’ve been feeling like there’s a huge piece missing in the deal with her and the evanuris because she talks about being denied justice#and like. solas locked up the evanuris for a good few thousand years. it might not be her idea of perfect justice but surely it would be an#attempt#but what if that’s not the betrayal she’s talking about#what if the betrayal is that solas accidentally locked her in there too#dragon age theory#tagging these so I can find them

extremely funny to me how solas literally cannot catch a single break. not a SINGLE ONE of his plans has gone off correctly. score 0/3
#erecting the Veil?? WE ALL KNOW HOW WELL THAT WENT#breaking the Veil with Corypheus? WHOOPSIE DAISIES#bind the evanuris with statues when you finally manage it? HAHAAAAAAAHAHA#dread wolf more like dreadful at his job. wolf#solas#dragon age#dragon age veilguard

another from the archives🥲 She's a menace <3
#i can't believe this....#8 years later?? im posting stepdad solavellan again#i have a fic where she straight up asks him all excited if he's seen the creators the second she finds out he's a dreamer fdksjfak#and he has to start lying to her immediately and feels guilty about it#but also reilora was NOT going to tell him she had a daughter. until like after they dealt w corypheus. so he's a little miffed#she kept this under wraps from him for so long. but like he gets it bc it's also not safe for her kid#she could have trusted him w this but she didn't :)#pina art#adhlea: were you always fuckin bald?#solas: i think it's time we found your mother

if i had a nickel for every time a dragon age protagonist kicks off the plot by disrupting a big magical ritual that ends in mass destruction, i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but weird that it happened twice
#weirdly solas is the one to blame for both#love that solas says in trespasser that he is not like corypheus but then makes the same mistake#of not calculating for some rando showing up and fucking everything over#solas be playing 5d chess and rook is out there eating the pieces when solas isn't looking#dragon age the veilguard#dav#da4#rook#inquisitor

The storytelling just doesn't care. It doesn't care! It doesn't care why the venatori would have fallen in line under Elvhen gods--something that must have involved a power struggle of some sort and a complete realignment of their beliefs. Or why the Antaam would be okay with this particular brand of magic, or how they would feel about allying with the venatori. For that, they'd have to show the antaam being people at all--which they don't in an overtly racist way.
The enemies are faceless and they are bad simply because they are bad. It's easy to do that with demons or the new "mechs" that now exist for no reason. But then every "bad" person just falls in line and says, sure, yeah, I'll align myself with the blight, a monstrosity that everyone in Thedas has been brought up to fear and revile.
Even Isseya, whose (terrible) storyline is that she became corrupted by her obsessive need to "protect" the griffons has a random line about how Ghilanain is good actually. This one could have made sense! She was an elf. She cares about creatures. She could have been manipulated into believing that Ghilannain would bring back the griffons. But they didn't develop it that far. They didn't do anything. Her story was just "evil woman bad" stab stab. Isseya and those wardens being alive brought up a million questions about the calling and the blight, and not a single person thought to ask them. Just, whelp, glad that's over with.
A compelling villain makes a compelling story. It's not the only way to make a compelling story, but it is one of the dozens of strategies they didn't use in this game because it would have required in engaging with their own setting in a way they absolutely refused to do.
#you're telling me that after corypheus died there wasn't a dozen power struggles in the venatori#fifteen splinter groups who all hate each other#and dorian didn't manage to stop any of them#I mean you are also telling me that dorian is less equipped to fight a dragon than rook which is an insane assertion#might as well have killed him off along with everyone else if he's just fucked around for 10 years doing precisely nothing#veilguard critical#veilguard spoilers#dragon age veilguard spoilers#da: the veilguard#datv spoilers#dav spoilers#davg spoilers

This is one of my favorite moments with Varric
#dai#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#varric tethras#varric#fr tho my inquisitor ended things on friendly ish terms with solas and retired the inquisition#so for me 100% my quiz retired to Kirkwall#I imagine reading history about the inquisition and a young pupil asking#what happened after the fall of corypheus?#ahh yess#the inquisitor lost their anchor#disbanded the inquisiton#and retired to kirkwalls harbor#and on the low did red jenny operations with sera on weekends
