Heeeeyyyyyy let's look at the Trespasser Murals now that we know more and the symbolism makes more sense. :D

Trespasser Murals

[rosieofcorona]

in inquisition, when solas starts with, "you show a wisdom i have not seen since..." and changes his thought halfway through, i know he's commonly thought to be talking about mythal, but i really think he's talking about himself here. mythal is not particularly wise, historically speaking. she's clever and intelligent and calculating, but we don't really ever see "wise" from her, imo. that's why she came to solas in the first place, why she asked for his help in all things.

in that moment, i don't think solas sees mythal reflected in lavellan. i think he sees himself, or what he was once. what he still wants to be.

Concepts that I didn’t want to think about but my brain won’t shut off:

1) Cullen should have been a companion vs advisor. The man likes to be active and do things. He’s not a papers guy. Plus while popular most people (statistically) do not know his whole story so he is really easy to explore for both new and old players.

2) We could explore his trauma from dao-da2 while also seeing him work on his recovery - his story would continue to NOT be about redemption, but about working on his sobriety and de-radicalization.

3) By having Cullen as a companion and exploring his story, it would have really brought forward the previously established nuance of the Templars. It would have put the humanization of the Templars front and center - the stuff that’s been buried in codices and ambient dialogue and banter for the past two games. One of those “shouldn’t be the cheese is under the sauce” topics to be honest.

4) Blackwall would have been better suited for the Commander role. He’s led troops before, he “has” wings of valor. As a grey warden it would have still fit his role as remaining non-political because the Wardens are still Andrastian and most of Thedas doesn’t count that as a reason to bar people. Would further push the “Chantry is overstepping their bounds” while also pushing the claim that the Inquisition is NOT Chantry affiliated. Would have made the reveal much juicier.

5) If you did swap Cassandra with Cullen, Cassandra would still pop up in the field. It is weird for a commander to not travel where they’re needed for the army. Plus Cassandra likes to physically handle problems. She’d help establish new keeps, strengthen the Inquisition’s hold else where, investigate the missing seekers, ect. It would also stop the conflict of her only having Templar abilities which as a Seeker she shouldn’t have the same abilities. Similar but different.

6) Even if Cullen stayed as commander we should have seen him in the field more. He is a strategist, a leader, and used to being hands on. Plus he’s too afraid of not having control because he’s never been in control so he’d be traveling just to make sure he was giving his all to the Inquisition like he did the Chantry but also not being like Meredith.

[ID: A cropped screenshot from Dragon Age Inqusition of Hard in Hightown: Chapter Nine, by Varric Tethras. The text follows: "The Dragon's Jewels was a big boat. She liked big boats. The pointy bits that towered majestically over the water. The roundish wooden part seemed like it could crush armadas beneath its... Shit, I don't know, wood. It was the greatest boat in the history of boats." End ID]

I have a headcanon that all the environments in Dragon Age II are recycled because Varric didn’t bother to describe them in much detail. So all of  the caves, mansions and ruins looking alike is just Cassandra just imagining them all generic like.

Relistened to the whole DAI party banter recently, and this one surprised me and i laughed so much. Simple but delivers so good!

Maybe you want to share your favourite party banters with me that you remember having a good laught with?

anyone else a part of the Alistair->Fenris->Cullen->Gale Dekarios of Waterdeep->Lucanis Dellamorte pipeline I’m trying to see something here

Why was DATV about Rook and not the Inquisitor?

This was why.

You don’t need to destroy this world. I’ll prove it to you.

“You show a wisdom I have not seen since…”

Since I was literal spirit of wisdom myself

“But losing you would…”

Be losing the only thing I have cherished for myself in my long, regretful life

Do you ever think about the fact that Solas fell in love with a romancing Lavellan within a year? Like, that's a reasonable time period for a mortal. Particularly in a high stress environment like the whole Corypheus deal. But Solas? He's millenia old. Surely it should take longer? And yet, with all his experience, he is confident enough to say, 'How I feel for you will never change'.

This guy.

Someone told me it didn't matter where you started the DA series, so I mistakenly picked up Inquisition first. I felt overwhelmed almost immediately but then: Varric burst onto the scene hairy tits and crossbow first, and a wink they should include under the Oxford Dictionary definition of “audacity” following after, and that was it. I was a goner.

“Good to know. Here I thought we’d be ass deep in demons forever.”
