Needed to rant about this to someone. The choice to save minrathous vs triviso is hilarious unbalanced. The game pushes you to save Minrathous (less influence lost if you sacrifice Triviso) but gives more quests, deeper NPC's and a companion specific quest if you save Triviso.

The only extra quest for saving Minrathous is chosing the new archon but even if you don't save the city Dorian becomes Archon anyway. Neve doesn't have a quest that is specific to the decision like Lucanis does.

Plus you don't get attached to the Viper and Tarqinn like you do Viago and Teia because the dragons don't give quests like the Crows, most Minrathous missions come from Neve. Maybe the black divine thing was supposed to be a questline but it feels like there is content missing from Minrathous.

In the end it is as if the developers expected the players who played inquisition to save minrathous for Dorian but that didn't work because Dorian was never in any danger.

I will be saving Triviso in all future playthrougs.

(A note for people reading this, this ask was sent in about 20 hours before the Q&A) On my first run I let Minrathous fall as a shadow dragon and I was so disappointed with the lack of consequences you personally felt afterwards. You don't recognise any of those bodies on the gallows, none of your friends and colleagues point at you and say look what you have done, you can't walk past the rubble of your own home. The Viper Black Divine is Blighted but another will take his place.

I'm always going to pick Treviso from a Rook perspective, regardless of their faction background, because of the nature of what that city is. Where it is. Treviso a merchant city nestled within a canal that leads into the ocean. If the Blight gets into the water it's spreading to all of Antiva and beyond it. Minrathous has a military, they have the giant panopticon that can shoot lasers at demons, they are built to withstand invasion. They have a military. I wish the choice would have been harder and there would have been more of the sort throughout the game so each of the companions are affected somehow.

I wish the rivalry system mattered again

Guild Wars 2 OC stuff: So I finally figured out the full body design for Vallotash (Mordremoth's Scion a.k.a. who Mourynn actually is) They're more or less the same person, but it's complicated, but leans more to Vall believing she's Mourynn and kind of is since she inhabits her body and memories, but is technically an imposter and is very depressed and in denial about it. Inspiration from Jahai Bluffs: "Are you a dragon dreaming that it's a hero? If you were, how would you know?" (also it's my tumblr banner lol) I'm still sketching out the origin story to explain how this happens, but for now here is this sketch bc I am happy with how this turned out and wanted to post it early. It's basically self preservation turned to parasitism to accidental death of host to unintentional identity theft out of guilt/tribute + memory absorption to make her think she's the sapling + amnesia about the whole event taking place over the span of a year stuck in the dream (to super condense her origin lore). I'll finish these sketches once I'm done her origin story pages, or if I get possessed to do it earlier bc I'm still happy with how this turned out and might want to keep working on it sooner, hehe.

Here is more sketches of Mourynn/Vallotash under the cut:

She has some simpler looks for when she's flattened down. She looks SO SILLY but I love it. Beware the Scion of Mordremoth: This freaking wiggly silly noodle thing. A terrifying menace!! Beloathed parasite daughter vine of the mighty Jungle Elder Dragon!! /does a snake blep (Also the first two head sketches I did of her from last year when she still didn't have a body designed yet lmao. I still have to figure out how large she actually is, as well as her colouration. She'll have to match Mourynn's, so she's gonna be a funny mix of the colours in the cool spectrum, which doesn't look very plant-like, but sylvari can be all different colours, and she has the whole poisonous/hallucinogenic thing going on, as well as some Soo-won influence bc she's based off a leafy sea dragon and is very attuned to water, so it kinda works yeah????) I also have no idea what her large chin whisker things are supposed to be. I just kind of made them up on the spot and fell in love with them, so they're STAYING, even if they make no sense. I mostly just love that they'd look so cool underwater and while glowing in the dark, and they are vaguely alien and jellyfish-like.

The whole Anders and Solas difference feels more like way too many people can't form their own opinions. If the game or the writers tells you to like a character (Solas) fans will often do just that, and if the game or the writers tells you to hate a character (Anders) fans will also do just that. It's almost like some people need permission on how to feel about these characters, and then get angry when anyone decides to feel independently from how they "should" feel. That's my opinion, anyway, otherwise people going around attacking fans who like Anders just sound plain unhinged, rather than being devoted to, I suppose I could call, "the status quo".

In the last 10+ years I've found that the rudest people who like Dragon Age are ones that hate Solas and Anders and they very much like making sure other people know that

Band au! Bassist! Sev! coming from someone who traced the first bass guitar pic that popped up on pinterest ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

Fig's line "I don't think I'm an artist, I think I'm just a good friend" has not left my head at all. Just...

You're Fig Faeth and your horns came in over the summer and you pick up the bard class as a form of adolescent rock 'n' roll rebellion, and it works! It's exactly the outlet you need! You give a guy you just met drumsticks and you start a band and it's good enough that within a year and a half you're touring. You are, in every sense, good at being a bard.

And then, finally, your junior year, you start to take it seriously. Your art goes from an outlet and a form of rebellion to a practice. A discipline. (Can rebellion exist within a discipline?) Your classmates know what they want to do with their work. They all have a thesis statement. And yeah, there's cohesion in the music you make, but you've never had to think about why you make it. You've never sat down and dissected what it is about bass that speaks to you. You've never poured over your lyrics to pick at any deeper meaning. Why should you? You don't play music for a grand design, you do it to... huh, why do you do it?

(Your art is the one form of self-expression that feels as safe as Disguise Self does, because even if you're pouring your heart onto the page and then screaming it in front of thousands of people, it's not like you're really making yourself known. You can sing I'm lonely, I'm scared, I'm furious, and your fans will sing it right back, and there will still be the distance between performer and audience to keep your heart safe.)

Now you're being asked to look inward to explain the artistic choices you're making, and you can't help but recoil at that, because you'd rather do anything than look inward. Meanwhile, your classmates have no problem with it, so you start to wonder if you're a real artist at all. Can your art be authentic if it only exists to bolster a thesis statement? Has your art been unauthentic this whole time because you've never really thought about a thesis statement before? Is that what makes it art, and not just the next track on somebody's teen angst playlist?

You can't think about yourself— acknowledging your own existence makes you want to puke. So if your music is an extension of yourself, (and it is, even if it's just because the spotlight reveals only what you want it to,) you can't think about your music. You can't. You have to. Your grade depends on it.

You're Fig Faeth, and you keep multiclassing because you'd rather be a good friend than a great artist. If introspection is what great art demands, then fuck it. You must not be a bard at all.
