#we need some actual military commander not a bigoted soldier with 0 strategy experience

thinking about that post abt wynne's age still. i certainly appreciate that we just casually have characters in their 40s in dai, like vivienne or blackwall, and no one's making a big deal of it, but i feel like there's even bigger missed opportunity with the advisors, yk.
like it was already said many times why cullen as the commander makes no sense and he has 0 required skillset, but imagine if we actually got some retired military commander in his place. like imagine a ferelden general who fought alongside loghain and maric, maybe was a bit older than they were then (bcos they were really young), so by the point of the 5th blight she already retired, she's no longer a powerful fighter, maybe even gathered some disabilities during her military career, but she still knows a lot of shit of how to command armies just fine, she doesn't have to swing her sword to do so. imagine how cool it would be, just this retired general and veteran advising on our military movements. maybe she'd have some unique dialogue lines if loghain is the warden in this worldstate. and instead of being bigoted towards the mages her character arc is about messing with orlesians and we can either endorse it or side with josie that come on, we can't be mean to those envoys even tho they're orlesian, it's not their fault.
#dragon age#anti cullen rutherford#i also wouldn't mind having a retired bard as either spymaster or ambassador#but i love leliana and josie#meanwhile cullen has no place or skills to be there#we need some actual military commander not a bigoted soldier with 0 strategy experience#too bad i'm already 260k into my fic otherwise i'd be including this idea rn#idris and cullen are spectacularly not getting along for obvious reasons#but idris is currently pulling a wynne abt how he's old man in his 40s and will die soon so there's no point in making any changes#he would really like this orlais-hating retired ferelden general just on the basis of orlais-hating#but also she'd be constantly calling out his bs about being old man on his deathbed#currently he's older than all of his advisors except for fiona and fiona is not in skyhold atm
