wei wuxian wakes up in a body not his own but that is wearing his signature outfit. the idea that mo xuanyu dressed his body for wei wuxian is!!! too much!!!!!

i've felt iffy about only three choices (all from inquisituon, most from a dlc) carrying over since it was released but hearing someone who got to play the game say "the appearances of certain returning characters are going to feel pretty hollow now knowing that they don't know their own past" which. yeah i knew that but worded like that it hurts a lot. we have a morrigan who doesn't know anything about the warden. who may or may not be under flemeth's control. morrigan who cannot mention her potential son.

this may be a long shot, but has anyone encountered and then fixed the issue where, in DAO, you kill Taliesen while in a romance with Zevran, but he doesn’t even mention an earring? i’m playing his romance for the first time and am trying to sort out how to fix this 😭

Oh yeah also starting awakenings thoughts:

Where'd zev go...my boyfriend 😭

This is exactly why In my head the canon ending is my warden dying. Cause he wouldn't want to essentially be an arl ohhhhh man this is fun (not)

Anders..... Hello! He intrigues me. And I conscripted Nathaniel too. I feel equally horrible and fun about conscripting people. One, it's fun to continue this fucking chaos legacy of Duncan, conscripting people on deaths door lol. On the other hand I'm literally consigning these people to a terrible fate and they don't even know it so um that doesn't feel cool. I feel like I wish we could uhhhh tell people about what they really risk when signing up, even if it keeps numbers small.

Dun dun dun...Shan Gu Dao is still alive and the real bad guy behind everything.

Zhan Yun Fei seems like a good and genuine dude, an actual friend to Li Xiang Yi. And despite the poison making Li Xiang Yi unrecognizable to people who knew him 10 years ago, the dude was still able to recognize him almost instantly unlike the "friends" Li Xiang Yi had at Sigu Sect.

Seeing Fang Duo Bing interacts with both his mom and dad is a treat, a good treat. They both taught him to be a good person, even if at the start of the drama he's arrogant and spoiled. It's hilarious how Fang Duo Bing hugged Minister Fang and told him how grateful FDB is that the minister is his dad after the interaction with Shan Gu Dao and Minister Fang's reaction is "oh that's nice but what are you up to?" LOL

Local man tricked into practicing self care because he’s worried about his boyfriend

Based on absolutely nothing but the game and my assumptions, Alistair is WILDLY different than I imagined

Finally playing DA:O and the sound mixing is absolutely batshit

anyway im playing on hard and wasted too many potions on keeping Jory alive and then just let him die

[bisexualmarvelmagnusbane]

a bitch who argues with the folks on the wrong side of an idealogical impasse not because he expects that to work but because he has nothing better to do. his day is unscheduled. why the fuck not

[ice-knife]

Zevran: And there it is. Taliesen is dead, and I am free of the Crows.

Zevran: They will assume that I am dead along with Taliesen. So long as I do not make my presence known to them, they will not seek me out.

Fyfa: That’s a good thing, right?

Zevran: A very good thing. It is, in fact, what I had hoped for ever since you decided not to kill me.

Zevran: I suppose it would be possible for me to leave now, if I wanted. I could go far away, somewhere where the Crows would never find me.

Zevran: …I think, however, that I could also stay here. I made an oath to help you, after all. And saving the world seems a worthy task to see through to the end, yes?

Fyfa, ever an expert at calling his bluff: If you want to go, you should go.

Zevran, who just realized he wasn’t bluffing: But that is what I am asking you. Do you want me to go? Do you need me here?

Fyfa, feeling very much on the back foot: I want you to do what’s best for you.

Zevran: I… am not sure how to respond to that. Nobody has ever… I mean, normally, these things are decided by others.

Zevran, in the most tentative voice: Err… then I suppose I shall… stay…? I-Is… Is that good?

Fyfa: If that’s what you want, then yes.

Zevran: Then stay I shall! I’m with you until the end… provided you do not tire of me first. Or I die. Or you die. But there you go.

Zevran: Let us return to the task at hand, then. There is much to be done, yes?

i’m obsessed with them actually. jesus

Okay another thing I don’t like about Inquisition is that it removes a lot of the…idk, narrative weight? of magic/mages/the fade. Demons are everywhere and the veil is fucked etc etc, so the average random farmer has almost certainly Seen A Demon About. So why are mages still treated as strange and scary? Like why would anyone give a shit about abominations if there’s probably a demon in your backyard or whatever?

I’m playing origins as my wizard girlie and nearly every time I even mention demons or spirits to an NPC (who isn’t like an adventurer or mage) they get scared because they don’t know shit about magic…a lot of intimidation checks get replaced with magic based threats…god the more I keep playing the earlier games the more I resent inquisition LOL

[perilegs]

I wish I could like inquisition bc it's technically a good game and I would love it if it was just a standalone game that had nothing to do with dragon age, but it just doesn't feel like a dragon age game to me.
