attack and dethrone the maker

Getting into Dragon Age 15 years late. she/he/they. Hoping not to have to ride the disk horse (or halla I suppose?). I don't mind spoilers. Not a fan of Bioware. PCs: Nimue Surana (pronouns complicated because his egg cracks over the course of the game) (elf mage (blood mage and arcane warrior) and Morrigan kisser), Robin Hawke (he/him) (human mage (blood mage and spirit healer) and Anders kisser), Mi'vhenan Lavellan (she/they) (elf mage (knight-enchanter) and Solas kisser), and Glandivalis "Rook" Mercar (they/them) (elf mage (spellblade), Shadow Dragon, and Bellara kisser)

public service announcement: this post has escaped dragon age containment and to everyone tagging it “wow! this sounds cool! i need to play dragon age!” and i need you to understand: if you agree with me that you think this idea sounds like it would be cool, DO NOT BEGIN PLAYING DRAGON AGE FOR ANY REASON

Personally, I think Dragon Age needed more chantry mothers being forced to attend ecumenical councils, just so we can get granny fight club over rather if Andraste's hair color being blonde or red was an indication of her being a woman of two natures or one nature with both humanity and the divine.

No matter how crazy Dragon Age Andrastanian theology can get, historical Christian (and to be honest, Jewish and Islamic) theological disagreements would get be ten thousand times worse, and infinitely more funny to research.

"There is a place that waits for a force to hold it. There is a place where the Inquisition can build--grow. Skyhold."

3/3 of my postcards for @dragonageannual 2026! deeply pleased to have had the chance to make a card for this special place, the hole-filled non-osha compliant fortress of all time 🏰⚔️

A toxic trait of mine is that sometimes when dragon age is going on about how many people died in the Chantry explosion my first thought is "it was just Hightown"

"you're laughing. An anarchist blew up a megachurch in the richy-rich mcmansion part of town, and you think it's funny." I mean, a little bit.

Leliana saying that when this is all over all she wants is to travel the world with her true love hand in hand...leliana in reality even when her lover lives bound to the church and her past for the rest of her life, unable to abandon her history and commitments for the life she longs for...oh. ohhhh

I’ve noted to myself, semi-seriously, while reading N.K. Jemisin’s The Fifth Season seems to be asking the question (among many others), “ok what would it look like if BioWare actually handled mages/the circles/the templars well?” And apparently she’s actually a BioWare fan, so that may actually be the case. And y’know what, I have to respect it.

[stonesense]

of those promotional art pieces for each origin it still bewilders me how good the brosca one is

[stonesense]

presenting brosca as a woman and then also not sexualising her and giving her that snarling/threatening expression... every time i look at it i can sense the thousand timelines where it was bad and am baffled i am in the one where it isn’t

[stonesense]

for those who havent seen Her

*irving voice* oh uldred is so good at manipulating these dumb motherfuckers apprentices. which could mean nothing

[mashamorevvna]

the first time i read this it somewhat escaped me that irving was legitimately considering having uldred chair a gaslighting workshop. most normal first enchanter at a circle.

[thevaelguard]

Do your main romance choices in Dragon Age follow a certain pattern?

Yes, more specifically all Wardens (Ali/Anders/Blackwall/Dav)

Yes, the first three are the "Chantry boys" (Ali/Seb/Cullen)

Yes, the first three are the "Blonde boys" (Ali/Anders/Cullen)

Yes, they're all elves

Yes, the first three are the "Betrayer Mages" (Morrigan/Anders/Solas)

Yes, they're all mages but not the "Betrayers"

Yes, but a different pattern (lmk if you want)

No

Doing the most popular patterns I could think of in the moment, probably forgot a few though.

[cogneartive]

when the persona you made eats you; when the performance youve been putting on eats you; when the name they gave you eats you; when the image people made of you eats you; when the role you were assigned eats you; when the you that other people see or even made for you or you made for them takes over the you that you know and eats you alive.

[twilightoftheapprentice]

Something I love about DAO is how you get all these self-important codex entries about how Fereldan elects its leaders and this is so shocking and impressive to visitors from other nations (Orlais) that bestow power through divine right. And then you get the codex entry that tells you that the Theirin line has been on throne since Calenhad became king (400 years, the entire time Fereldan has existed, possibly longer than the Valmonts have been on the Orlesian throne) with the only interruption being during the occupation. So despite all this waxing poetic about Fereldan's enlightened form of governance that requires kings to rule through the consent of the nobility, the landsmeet has apparently just been rubber-stamping the next Theirin heir, or at best, deciding between siblings or cousins when applicable.

I genuinely don't know whether this was an intentional case of unreliable narrator (which the series likes to play with) or a case of writers not being on the same page or not realizing that these two things contradict each other (both things that have also been known to happen with these games), but I love the picture it paints nonetheless.
