my only engagement w the da subreddit is getting into arguments w random people about how c*llen sucks.
#so much of why i dont like him is really just how the game wants you to feel about him.#if he faced a single consequence? if he was actually invested in atoning for what he did TO THE PEOPLE HE HURT?#i think he'd be genuinely fantastic. id love him.#but he doesnt. he isnt! the game wants to make the mage/templar conflict ~morally gray~ instead of oppressed/oppressor#and in order to make it morally gray they have to make the templars less flat out evil. so they make your templar advocate#this bland nice guy that you can never question or criticize for his failure to perform the duties of the last leadership position#that ended in a war and COULD have ended in the purging or several hundred innocent people in the kirkwall circle.#he CANT face any sort of consequences for what he did. because he's supposed to be the moral representative of the templars.#he's supposed to be the best of them. he's supposed to be what they could be if you gave them a chance.#so you cant even let the player know (if theyre coming to dai new) what he did and what he let happen.#and then all the most boring denominator of women fell for thos blandly attractive man bc they couldnt handle a real man like blackwall /hj#carly.txt
