Force Magic in Dragon Age II

Force mages are a fearsome sight on the battlefield, bending the laws of nature to crush, toss, and debilitate their foes. Kirkwall's Circle houses a higher-than-usual percentage of mages who excel at this specialization, and their combined research has refined the school considerably.

I think Kirkwall's Circle having a huge amount of force mages is fascinating, and the fact that Hawke can specialize in it as well.

Me and the hot elf with a tragic backstory I pulled by being kind and showing them compassion and genuine love.

The idea that Varric is trying so hard to stop Solas because he didn't try to stop Anders is making me so feral. He didn't try. He just watched as Anders spiraled further and further until it was too late. His attempts were jokes, lighthearted things that didn't reach how far Anders already was

He can't do nothing again.

His love language is emotional manipulation

[elvenforestwitch]

Varric Tethras as a character is wild. He calls everyone by a nickname. He writes trashy romance novels. He’s a prolific liar. His family got them kicked out of the dwarf kingdom for rigging dwarven Wrestlemania matches. He has fingers in literally every crime ring in Kirkwall. He lives in a pub. He named his weapon after his absent girlfriend with whom he has a restraining order. He denies his involvement in keeping the wizard police away from his friend’s illegal magic Urgent Care. He’s the mom of the friend group. And he does this all while being four feet tall

Dragon Age II is like a Dostoevsky's novel in the form of a videogame. There's a corrupt and rotting city with desperate heroes clutching at their ideas and hopes. Half of your friends are the among the most oppressed. The stakes are getting higher and higher, but there is no way out.

Maybe gamers in 2011 wanted to see some kind of "Game of Thrones" narrative (and a bit more varied experience considering the dungeons), so they didn't see this narrative diamond. It is the best game in the Dragon Age series for me now. And mind you, I've played the whole trilogy this summer for the first time.

but they're doomed by the narrative

[sky-fire-forever]

It's baffling to me how differently Solas and Anders are treated by the narrative and the writers

Both commit acts of incredible devastation that kill people in the hopes of bringing forth a better world.

But Solas is often depicted as sympathetic, as caring about people despite what he's trying to do and the writers seem to want us to empathize with him

And yet Anders is demonized at every turn and is talked about like he just Went Crazy. Even the way Varric talks about them is very different

reblog for more answers? this is about all games, very broadly. even if you change it mid game or at some points, what's the one you usually play the most? feel free to make clarifications if you want in the reblogs/replies :] also, this is obviously judgement free. all options are completely fine, we're all different and have different interests.
