replaying da2 after bg3 is really just like. go kill this irredeemable villain (character that could perfectly be just durge). this magic is mega evil someone who can do this must be killed (spells thay my goody-two-shoes paladin did in bg3 constantly)

#most if not all of the bg3 companions would be villains to kill in da2 #or at least villanized in universe #bg3 is so much more mmmm merciful ??#and like not just the universe like. im ok with the universe being ruthless i love kirkwall full of the worst awful people ever #but like the narrative you know?? like the kindness/sympathy the narrative shows to these people #in bg3 u can even see the tragic backstory of the worst of the worst and random enemies have letters to show they were humans and had dream #and aspirations etc etc #da2 sometimes has me killing people i absolutelly wouldnt want to kill (most tal-vashoths) i miss u non letal damage #of course they are 2 different games done in 2 different times but its funny to me how dragon age is supposed to be Grey Morality sitaution #and bg3 is full You can be a Hero or Be Mega Evil!!#and indeed bg3 ends up being more morally grey and nuanced about it #anyways this is mostly Fear for what da4 has to serve cause im already :/ about the comments about blood magic not being allowed to use #by the mc #not for the fact but for the reasons behind it.....aka im expecting some inquisition bullshit #talks and stuff #(continues) THE THING IS #that in dao you are doing your best with what u have in your situation #and in da2 you are not that powerful u also do ur best and fail a lot #but in dai is like yeah you have infinite absurd levels of political influence #we are not giving you the options to do things tho #like not the trying and failing but the chance to be able to do it u know #im just rambling here u know
