DAV fundamentally doesn't believe that power structures can contain people who are both competent humans and not cartoonishly evil.

In fact it doesn't seem to believe that there exist different mutually exclusive forms of evil. All evil is the same evil. All good is the same good. Good thing there's no ambiguity or complexity in the system for anyone to worry about.

#dragon age the veilguard #the idea that a relevant polity doesn't have a military and in fact relies on an assassin's guild beggars belief #and so does the idea that this one resistance group is all that stands between a major empire and cult takeover #I promise there are other competent assholes in power who don't want cult takeover because it threatens their personal power #and not for any remotely ethical reason #also there's no way tivinter doesn't have a fucking army #hey BioWare hire me to tell you whether your plot points make any fucking sense and give you slightly better excuses to do stuff #ones that don't make me think you have no idea how reality actually works #but at least the way you've structured your story you need never worry about there being a lesser evil the good guys need to ally with #because all levels of evil have decided to get behind a single axis together no matter how much they hate each other #that and also the assassin's guild is no longer evil apparently #Don't worry about the buying children #anyway I have many many problems with the way that this game does a lot of things but this is the one that most frequently drives me nuts
