What became known as the Fellowship of the Ring (Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Boromir, Gimili, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin) departed from Rivendell on the evening of December 25, 3018 TA (Third Age) on their quest to destroy the One Ring. ("Fellowship of the Ring" J.R.R. Tolkien, Novel)

" [Galadriel] held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang form her hand. 'In this phial,' she said, 'is caight the light of Eärendil's star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other light go out."

Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of Rings; Book II, chapter 8 “Farewell to Lórien“; J.R.R. Tolkien

Eärendil's Light

" But on him mighty doom was laid, till Moon should fade, an orbéd star to pass, and tarry never more on Hither Shores where Mortals are; for ever still a herald on an errand that should never rest to bear his shining lamp afar, the Flammifer of Westernesse.

The Song of Eërendil, Lord of the Rings : the Fellowship of the Ring, “Many Meetings“

In thinking about how the Dragon Age games have changed since Origins, I’ve been thinking about genre conventions and the inspirations for the series.

Dragon Age: Origins is very very heavily lifted from Dungeons & Dragons, and my impression is that this is because Baldur’s Gate was a big inspiration. I think it’s especially obvious when you open up your character profile. Like that is straight up a d&d character sheet. You can map the d&d classes onto the DA:O subclasses too (e.g. some of the warrior subclasses are champion [classic fighter], templar [paladin], and berserker [barbarian]). The heavy focus on tactics and the top-down combat option also evoke TTRPGs to me.

And of course, because we’re existing in the genre tradition here, we have a lot drawn from the Lord of the Rings as well. Darkspawn/Orcs are an unambiguously evil species that exists just to cause destruction! Humans are the predominant species, but we have nature-connected elves and subterranean dwarves! Our story takes place in among the ruins of a past civilization that existed in a distant age! We’ve got themes of history and faith and a little fellowship going on a journey to defeat an evil dragon.

So with that in mind, we have a pretty straight up and down medieval-inspired dark fantasy. It follows so closely in this tradition that we even see the writers struggling to break out of molds that they explicitly set out to avoid—for example, certain gender politics.

I really think the character who starts to break that is Varric. Not only is he a well-known author (requires not just widespread printing but widespread literacy and reading for fun—now we’re talking much more recent history in our world) but he’s writing (Kirkwall-flavored) hard-boiled detective fiction, which is explicitly an American* post-WWI tradition. This is a genre that explores the gritty reality of life in cities, interpersonal and systemic violence, and often positions a lone morally grey hero in small-scale opposition to those larger forces. Kirkwall (and DA2) isn’t a bad place to add that flavor.

Inquisition starts to feel more 20th century to me as well. We’ve got international espionage and geopolitics. We’ve got anxieties of a dramatic apocalypse brought about by man’s hubris. We’ve got, effectively, some variety of civil rights movement for both elves and mages.

What really got me thinking about this is that Neve and Lucanis feel like they’re some the same genre to me: the jaded, brilliant, but somewhat poorly-upkept big city detective and the heir-apparent of a powerful mafia family caught up by a betrayal both feel very interwar noir imo. Emmrich’s look is also SO 1930s. I can only speak for myself but I think that’s where a lot of the change in “vibe” can be traced.

It feels to me like Varric’s narration of the series has tugged the story itself into the genre he exists in.

Anyway, whether you wish the series stayed more straight up and down sword and sorcery or like the direction it chose to establish itself, I think it’s interesting to think about!

* I might ramble about how deeply North American the geography of Thedas is another time lol

Did anyone tell Ford (bonus doodles: Family Movie Night, 70s Classics)

[integrationslady]

Now I'm watching the 1978 animated Lord of the Rings, which only includes Fellowship and Two Towers. (Apparently they made it and then people waited somewhat patiently for them to release the third story and finally the people who'd made the Hobbit asked "you're gonna do Return of the King right?" and they were like "naw, two thirds of a story is enough" so the Hobbit people made ROTK in 1980.)

The 80s Saturday morning cartoon vibe is still so strong.

It's like they're trying to cram the story into as short a time as possible. Or maybe Peter Jackson was trying to tell it as slowly as possible? Or maybe both.

Saruman the White is wearing red.

This version of Aragorn? Not that hot.

Eowyn and Arwen aren't even in this!

Cheesiest Balrog I've ever seen. It looks like an animated Sasquatch with wings.

Man, all these voices sound like the trilogy actors too! Like, did Elijah Wood go in and redub this?

Galadriel looks like Wonder Woman, but I guess at least she's here.

Treebeard would've been an undecided voter this year. "I'm not all together on any side because no one is all together on my side". My dude, one side is actively slaughtering your people and the other side is... not doing that? Seems like an easy choice to me.

I wasn't born when this was released, but if I'd watched it as a child, this Smeagol would 100% have given me nightmares.

Spoiler alert: they just... end it after Helm's Deep with a voiceover basically saying "and then there was no more evil in Middle Earth". They don't even pretend that the ring was destroyed.

Whoever voiced Gandolf in the '77 animated Hobbit sounds so much like Ian McKellen.

This seems like it was written as a parody of the Peter Jackson trilogy.

This is so '80s Saturday morning cartooon.
