I just need to say that as a DA virgin playing a clueless Lavellan with no prior knowledge of the game, the whole deal about a) the Dalish elves' ancestors having been previously enslaved and oppressed by humans, and dealing with prejudice in the modern day and b) the horror of becoming a prophet/religious figure for the very human religion that was used to justify your extermination

was incredibly apparent 🙃 so like. idk. it's there man. maybe you want more from an already massive and detailed game and that's fine, but it's there.

and there are lots of people who talk about it!!! in detail!!!!

#i love seeing people come to these realizations themselves!#experience the dawning horror!#live tweet your reaction and share it w us for sure #but it always gets me the “no one talks about this” and the “the game completely ignores this” language #maybe you dont see it??? but many people do #idk man #also you wouldnt be thinking about it if the content wasnt fundamentally there to think about #it isnt fridge horror where it was unintentional and the player only realizes it's horrifying long after the fact?#like it seems pretty intentional in as limited an amount as they were able to express given the seemingly last minute inclusion #of other player races #da sometimes forgets its lore in the details but like #generally it remembers #idk #blue vagueblogs #i hate people who speak hyperbolically abojt No One Is Talking About bc there are a lot of VERY ANGRY PEOPLE who go in on huge rants about #No One Talking About This as if it's a moral deficiency of fandom/this piece of media except...it is there and it is being talked about?#you just need to engage w a diff bubble of fandom than you're isolated in
