Getting ready for the next Dragon Age. Currently working 40+ hours a week. I draw sometimes.

[housederiva]

I can’t even remember where this is in inquisition but I think about this drawing constantly

So, this is the nightmare difficulty card, which also isn’t available in the Japanese localization. I’m not sure if it wasn’t available in other localizations, but a fun fact is that Japan got a different card for diffiiculty.

Edit: I saw some questions as why it was changed and it has to do with the Japanese censorship regarding decapitations as far as I understand it.

Dragon Age: Inquisition | Fen'Harel mosaics

Wolf's Welcome

"Fen'Harel bids you welcome. Rest, knowing the Dread Wolf guards you and his people guard this valley. In this place, you are free. In trusting us, you will never be bound again."

The Promise of Fen'Harel

"Fen'Harel has been falsely named a god, but is as mortal as any of you. He takes no divine mantle and asks that none be bestowed upon him. He leads only those who would help willingly. Let none be beholden but by choice."

The Lies of the Evanuris

"The gods, our Evanuris, claim divinity, yet they are naught but mortals powerful in magic who can die as you can. In this place, we teach those who join us to unravel their lies."

The Lifting of the Vallaslin

"The brand of the Evanuris can be lifted from you, that all may know you oppose their cruelties. None here are slaves. All are under our protection. All may choose to fight."

I'M---

I'M NOT WELL?????

[bryceypants]

I love this team so much ahahaha

[azogthenailfiler]

Hey, Bioware? hey? hEY, buddy? How do you literally layoff the actual person behind the SOUL of Varric Tethras? You know? The handsome dwarf you love to show off in every game since the 2nd one?

[magnetic-rose]

yeah they could kill varric off for the tragedy but consider: varric and solas stuck in the fade, arguing like a divorced couple for half of the game.

[stonesense]

staring up at the minrathous panopticon floating security fortress and thinking hey maybe when fenris said he didn’t see oppression in the gallows he just had very different standards for what that kind of thing was supposed to look like

[stonesense]

fenris: [derisively] they don’t even have spotlights

hawke: fenris what the fuck is a spotlight

[dalishious]

Sorry but this is immediately where my mind went alskdjfsjfds

When Veilguard comes out, please keep it in the back of your mind every single time you interact with Varric and Lucanis that their writer got laid off with little to no warning and that she is and always will be a Dragon Age legend and one of the reasons why the franchise has stayed afloat for as long as it has

[m4gehand]

Now HERE is a good and valid reason to criticize Bioware/EA, and a really important story to share around while DA4 has the buzz it does!!!

Corporations need to be called out on their anti-worker bullshit regardless of the quality of the products they produce.

[megafreeman]

Hey so remember that this is one of the worst layoffs to ever happen because

Bioware management denied to give the laid off workers the severance they were contractually obligated to give. They were entitled to one month's pay for every year they worked at Bioware but were given far less than that (Mary Kirby specifically worked for Bioware for 17 years).

The laid off Dragon Age devs are in this unique position unlike any other game developer. Since Veilguard isn't out yet, they are still under the NDA and can't share the work they've done on the game for their portfolio. Because Veilguard has been in development for 10 years, with none of them working on anything else, that essentially leaves a 10 year gap in their portfolio.

"Emmrich’s skeleton Manfred is not "kissable" or romanceable, however, they added - “not that skeleton, but we’re not saying no skeletons”. - June 14th 2024 Developer Q&A, from the official BioWare Discord

[erzvolnes]

It does make me laugh when people talk about Dragon Age Origins as if it was this Grim, moody game with no jokes because I always think back to that one chantry in Haven that's run by men and the minimap looks like this

[felassan]

[azogthenailfiler]

Emmrich Volkarin looks like Vincent Price and will have a skeleton assistant named Manfred. He also looks a little nervous in the group companion picture around that little table. he's clearly used to being around dead ppl more than living. Thats morbid and cute to me.
