I have uploaded text dialogue and voiced lines of all playable characters in Resident Evil: Outbreak file #2, along with cutscenes from the game. Some audio is detached from the video in cutscenes, as it is how these files were packaged inside the game, but I have included the missing audio with the video files. Everything should be marked properly.

Download them from my Outbreak file # 2 folder at google drive.

mutuals if you love me please watch this. RE enjoyers remember when capcom licensed britney spears for vendetta???

[carinavetreblogs]

Goddammit, I'm rewatching Vendetta right now and this scene is now RUINED because I want "Toxic" to be playing during it. It's just too perfect. I had to pause and come re-watch this version.

[carinavetreblogs]

Actually I'm STILL not done with this scene because like.

Okay so Leon shows up in the middle of the fight, riding his motorcycle out of an ambiguously animated doorway, and says "Sorry I'm late. I had to take the stairs."

Haha, oh you. Leon and his quips, amIright?

Except.

A minute later the bad guy, watching on the security cameras, pushes a button and an elevator dings open and zombies shamble out. On the other end of the hallway.

Leon.

Leon, did you literally ride your motorcycle up the stairs of this skyscraper?

Leon, answer me!

Potential References for the Horses in Thedas

If you're anything like me, you made it your mission to collect every single horse breed in Dragon Age: Inquisition. However. If you're anything like me, it annoyed the hell out of you to not have good parallels to real-world breeds for art references. This post aims to help with that, using some tomfoolery and shenanigans to give some vague approximation of region, build and color in order to find horse breeds that exist in real life and would make sense in Thedas.

This will be put under a cut after the first pony because this post got LOOONG. Enjoy!

The Ferelden Forder, or the Cleveland Bay

The Ferelden Forder is described as a "proud animal ... [that] ranges well beyond its namesake, at home in stables and armies across Thedas." In the game, the Forder is a beautiful rich dappled bay, with darkened legs, mane and tail. Given that Ferelden itself seems to be vaguely inspired by the regions present in the UK, the stout appearance, tallness and shapely body of the Cleveland Bay lends itself near-perfectly to the Forders, in my humble opinion. The only thing about the Cleveland Bay that isn't truly represented by the Forders is their white markings--Forders have a big white blaze on their face in Inquisition, whereas real life Cleveland Bays are considered inadmissable in the studbook with markings any larger than a small white star.

Despite that, I think the Cleveland Bay is an excellent point of reference to use when drawing Forders, and the color variations are perfect for learning how to shade all sorts of variations of bay ponies.

The Amaranthine Charger, or the English Thoroughbred

The Amaranthine Charger is described as "spirited but not unruly" and an "uncommon mount, sure to impress." Amaranthine is still within the borders of Ferelden--or at least neighboring it--but its proximity to the Free Marches had me stumped. It's my opinion that the Amaranthine Charger could go two ways: a lighter, faster breed, or a thicker one that's been crossed with that fineness. So, there are two good options I feel are representative of the Amaranthine Charger.

The English Thoroughbred or the Irish Sport Horse (otherwise known as the Irish Hunter). Both breeds are brave, both have some speed, both are generally seen as being handle-able, and they both come in an array of colors that could be fun for any artist wanting to try their hand at some funky markings and patterns. I only chose a black coat since that's what we see in the game.

The Orlesian Courser, or the Selle Francais

The Orlesian Courser is breed that is spirited, with a "lineage longer than most noble names." While technically the Selle Francais is a newer breed, it is made of a bunch of older French breeds being merged into one studbook. The range of height (155-180cm at the withers), more elegant conformation and refinement lends itself perfectly to a faster, more 'respectable' horse that still may be capable of carrying a knight or mounted combatant.

The Selle Francais typically comes in shades of bay, grey and chestnut, but other coat colors are possible, especially when crossed with other breeds.

The Dalish All-Bred, or the 'Some Sort of UK Pony Breed'

Dalish All-Breds are described in-game as being hardy and sure-footed, as well as a breed of "humble origins." New Forest Ponies are generally well-temptered and loyal, often used as family mounts or for children. Being a breed that often roams New Forest, these ponies are also rather brave and perhaps exceptionally well-suited to navigating challenging terrain, making them great parallels for the Dalish All-Bred. Ironically, while piebalds and skewbalds (the pattern presented in-game) disqualify New Forests from being added to the studbook, it isn't entirely uncommon to find such patterning within the breed. Other options for Dalish All-Breds might be Exmoor and Dales Ponies.

Green Dales Feral, or the American Mustang

The Green Dales Feral is said to have descended from stock that escaped the Qunari invasions in the North, which sounds an awful lot like the Spanish horses that worked their way over to America and became feral. Mustangs aren't often used by your average Joe, and the Green Dales Feral is also "rarely seen on the field." The horses are hardy, sure-footed and brave, and come in a variety of fun and interesting colors and patterns that are sure to dazzle and make for fun art studies. Mustangs also come in a lot of different shapes, so you can really customize your pony however you'd like them to look.

The Free Marches Ranger, or the Oldenburg

The Free Marches Ranger is a palomino in-game, so I did want to make sure the breed I referenced had horses in this particular coat color. The Oldenburg is a German breed; it's sporty, athletic and also rather even-tempered. Other options might be Holsteiners or Hanoverians, depending on how stocky you want your reference to be. With the Free Marches being such a loosely connected place, it's difficult to really pin down each city-state as being of a certain region, so I used the idea that often gets circulated that the Marches resemble German city-states and worked backwards from there.

The Asaarash, or the Iberian Horses

The Asaarash was another one difficult to pin down, as the model in the game seems to just be an armored version of the Green Dales Feral. However, the actual information blurb tells us that the breed is Rivaini in origin, resilient, and is used to carry messages across Seheron. There's a couple different directions here, but I chose to focus on the Rivaini origins of the breed and chose the Lusitanos and Pura Raza Espanolas to represent the Asaarash. They're powerful breeds that are tall and stocky, capable of carrying heavier loads as well as being used to work cattle. They're brave and particularly adapted to war, having been used as cavalry horses. Both also come in the chestnut coat.

If looking for a horse that would more closely match the 'speed' and desert adaptability of Seheron, I would recommend Egyptian Arabians as your starting point.

The Frostback Mountain Horse, or the Trotters and Saddlers

The Frostback Mountain Horse is used by the Avaar in the Frostbacks, making the horse hardy and adapted to cold by nature. I chose to look to Scandinavian horse breeds for this and discovered the Swedish Coldblood Trotter, a horse with some feathering (hair) around the legs that matches the in-game equivalent and comes in varying shades of brown and black. The game codex describes the Frostback Mountain Horses as being "fierce, loyal and not quite tame" which doesn't exactly match the psychological profile of these Trotters, but I felt the region and build apt enough regardless to overlook it.

Other options for mountain horses would be the American Rocky Mountain Horse or the Kentucky Mountain Horse (sometimes referred to as the Kentucky Saddler/Saddle Horse).

The Taslin Strider, or the Italian Saddle Horse

The Taslin Strider is described as a refined breed and is most common in Antiva's warmer areas. It's also described as being suited to long distances and spirited charges. I thought the Italian Saddle Horse, or Sella Italiano, would best fit this particular description. The Sella Italiano is a breed with a great degree of refinement, as evidenced by the beautiful floaty trot above and pricked ears. The Sella Italiano is also bred for show-jumping, giving it a degree of power and force. The breed also competes in three-day eventing and endurance, meaning it checks off the boxes for long distance riding as well.

The Imperial Warmblood, or the Lipizzan

You may be familiar with the elegant Lipizzan from the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, with their elegant caprioles and levades. The Imperial Warmblood, being this beautiful grey and described as imposing, made perfect sense to be represented by the Lipizzan. The horses have all the refinement of a dressage horse with all the warlike structure of a good cavalry horse (the two are actually more entwined than you'd think). Additionally, the Lipizzan has near world-wide fame, lending itself further to the Imperial Warmblood's omnipresence when the Tevinter Imperium was at its height. Nowadays, the breed seems to feature more often in the Imperium's homeland, mirroring the current concentration of Lipizzan horses today.

The Anderfel Courser, or the Altai

The Anderfel Courser was a tough one, and I'm torn between two options. The Altai is a breed that is suitable for mountainous terrain as well as cold climates, which I think makes it perfect for the areas of the Anderfels that are freezing and rocky (think Hossberg in Veilguard). However, the Anderfels also has areas of arid, rocky and cavernous deserts, which left me stumped. I think a combination of the Altai and the loose 'Afghan horse' category (Qatgani would be an excellent keyword to start on those horses, or the sport of buzkashi for action-packed poses) would be best suited to this strange combination of climates. It also fits the Anderfel Courser's description of being highly uncommon across Thedas. Being bred for the Grey Wardens, I think the Altai and Afghan horses would likely be the best suited for their particular brand of excitement.

Some Quick Diagrams

I realize not everyone is as into horses as I am, and may be stumped on how to search for certain colors and patterns when looking up references. As a final little send off, I've compiled here a group of diagrams designed to help beginners look for color, markings and patterns without drowning in resources on [insert your search engine of choice].

As always, feel free to play with keywords and markings, and really, just go buckwild. These are fantasy horses, after all. But I know sometimes finding references that fit the image in your mind's eye can be tough, so I hope this post helps out, either with finding drawing references or just showing off some cool kinds of horses you may have never heard about before!

If you're interested in learning about medieval horses and their general uses and care, I would highly recommend watching Modern History TV's Everything You Need to Know About Medieval Horses for more information.

[catilinas]

everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7

OP's opinion:

I mean... Jill literally drove a car off a roof. Just saying. I would say Grace, but I kind of think she doesn't drive at all.

[carinavetreblogs]

I just finished re-watching literally everything Leon for Reasons and one of the things I decided to take notes on this time 'round is every vehicle he gets into and whether it survives or not. Because tactical driving is literally on his canonical skillset and these poll results are slander so here's my manifest on how it's Not His Fault.

(Note that I have not taken notes on other characters' driving records, so there's no real basis for comparison here. Just seeing what happens to the vehicles he gets into. This ALSO only includes the ones we SEE: For example, in Infinite Darkness he gets to Guam somehow but we don't see what I presume is an uneventful airplane ride.)

RE2 (remake)

his own car (driving): survives

cop car (driving): crashed into by big rig

tram (not exactly driving): back half blown up, front half survived, so I'mma say survived

Darkside Chronicles

none

RE4 (original)

cop car (not driving): thrown off cliff AFTER Leon got out

Degeneration

car (not driving?): survived

Infinite Darkness: The Beginning

several car rides (driving): survived

Infinite Darkness

helicopter (not driving): survived

submarine (not driving): infected and exploded

Damnation

tank (not driving): turtled

RE6

cop car (driving): zombie jump scare, flips and explodes

bus (not driving): swerves off road, gets hit by big rig, and blows up

plane (not driving at first, then driving): zombie outbreak, crashes

two trains at once (not driving): massive boss fight, everything is derailed and goes boom

humvee (not driving): survives

helicopter (not driving at first, then driving): pilot killed, crash into building

humvee (not driving): flipped by dino Simmons

Vendetta

osprey (not driving): survives

motorcycle (driving): chase with cerberuses with physics-defying tricks including using his foot on the handbrake (other cars as collateral damage), drives up into a building (may have literally taken the stairs???), slides into BOW; launched off roof at BOW on osprey and exploded, osprey as collateral damage (doesn't crash though)

Death Island

motorcycle (driving): knocked off by Maria

truck (driving): drove into BOW and blew up

jeep (driving): flipped by BOW

jeep (driving): survives

RE9

Porsche (driving): survives

motorcycle (driving): jumps over debris and through explosions, chase scene with plaga dogs and Victor shooting explosives, uses a tilted skyscraper as a ramp, motorcycle jousts, etc -- survives

And so our tally. Of the vehicles in which he is a passenger, we have

5 vehicles survive

1 vehicle is trashed after he gets out

5 vehicles are crashed by someone else

2 vehicles begin in someone else's control and Leon has to take over for essentially a controlled crash

Of the times when Leon is the driver, we have looooots of trick driving, especially on motorcycles, and a final tally of

5 surviving vehicles

4 that were crashed into (not Leon's fault)

2 that he straight-up used as explosive projectiles (on purpose)

1 that actually was his fault for realsies

Total tally:

10 surviving vehicles

1 trashed after the fact

12 crashed vehicles

2 vehicles used as weapons

And of the trashed vehicles:

12 caused by other people/BOWs

2 crashed on purpose

1 where he screwed up

So all in all .... yeah probably don't get in a car with him but not because HE'S a bad driver, he just gets into bad situations a lot.

(I also maintain that -- especially when he's older -- he is an extremely fastidious driver in his day-to-day. Because he likes nice things, and he wants them to stay nice. You know he drives his passengers nuts going precisely the speed limit and using his blinker religiously. And then a Resident Evil happens and he starts launching motorcycles off buildings and it's like WTF where did THAT come from?!)

[stonesense]

the way the inquisitor hunts dragons is almost too on-the-nose as an encapsulation of everything wrong with the game thematically

[stonesense]

they had a character say, “mankind blunders through the world, crushing what it does not understand; elves, dragons, magic...the list is endless.” in the game. in the game they said that. in the game where they let you hunt dragons just for sport with no consequences while leading an andrastian army while being the unambiguous good guy. in that game they said that

The hardest choice in Dragon Age was actually in Inquisition, where we had to decide whether to leave the helmet display in the settings and then the whole party would wear stupid ugly helmets, or poor Cole would lose his beautiful hat
