Some people in this fandom claim that they want complex characters, but they can't even handle Bellara.
"Why does Bellara, a Dalish elf, feel guilty over what her ancestors did?"
Like, do you understand that she says something like that in that one dialogue cutscene because she is falling apart under absolutely unimaginable circumstances, and people feel and say irrational things when they're in a crisis? Do you understand that sometimes people need to work through complicated emotions that aren't actually facts? Have you never experienced self-loathing thoughts based on where you live or where you come from?
#I keep seeing this one over and over and it's driving me crazy#maybe the devs should have utilized the notifications more - add explanations to all dialogue cutscenes explaining that#''hey this is not what we actually think but this character is going through some difficult shit right now''#then again last I've seen this take recently it was in the same post#that also says that you're automatically privileged in Tevinter just because you're born a mage#so they think Neve (?????) is also privileged and it is never addressed and that is bad etc.#like no shade (or maybe a little shade) but I really think some should go and replay the older games to refresh their memory#instead of just talking about the games and about how they remember them fondly#like#Dorian has a whole conversation in Inquisition#dedicated to explaining how you can be a mage and a slave or second class citizen because bloodlines and houses are everything in Tevinter#but I digress#fandom wank#fandom critical#I'm not saying sorry any more#I've been feeling like shit physically and mentally for weeks now (it's getting better I think)#and so maybe I'm a little irrational and emotional too#I've decided to be insufferable as a treat
