Sudden…. Big urge to draw a Doriael battle wedding in the style of PotC’s one…
All I can imagine for this is it occurring during trespasser but if Vivienne is Divine the classic Barbossa line ‘I’m a little busy at the moment’ is delivered a lot more calmer.
Whereas if it’s Cassandra who is Divine it’s a lot louder and intense but her romance loving spirit is loving it! A battle wedding just speaks to her.
INQUISITOR, IF YOU HAVE A MOMENT
Honestly, I think part of the reason why I’m so fascinated with Solas is that Solas reminds me so hard of all the potential disasters I’ve ever worried about with my own video game protagonists.
Like, so often in games (especially Bioware games) you get asked to make these world-shattering decisions. Your characters go on these quests to stop a great evil, to battle gods, to bring order, or sow chaos, and at the end you’re left with the power to utterly change the world. And that’s not really a power that should ever rest with just one person, but in these narratives, it so often does.
And afterwards, I usually find myself wondering about all the worst case scenarios. Sometimes I get a bad ending and it’s just like ‘well I guess I’ll start over and try again…?’ But even when it’s a good ending, all too often it’s ambiguous enough that it still seems like a lot could go wrong further down the road.
To me, this is Solas. This is what happened to Solas. He is one of those video game protagonists. He got to the end of the adventure and he had to decide to separate Magic from Reality in order to seal the gods away, and he had no real idea what would happen afterwards except that the gods wouldn’t be able to destroy the world. I’ve freaking done that. Anyone who has played Final Fantasy VI has done that.
And then he woke up in motherfucking Thedas aka Apocalypse Tuesday and found out that everything was a disaster.
At which point his first thought was ‘okay, I’ll start over and try again’ because the world was approximately as real to him as a video game, so why the heck wouldn’t that be his first impulse?
But then - then he screwed himself over. Then he went on an adventure in Thedas. Then he made friends. Now he can’t start a New Game Plus and try for a different ending without erasing all of that. The man is fucking boned. It’s like all the things I ever worried about for my Charnames and Knight Captains and Revans and Exiles and Shepards and Wardens and Nerevarines and Dragonborns all comes crashing down around Solas, this poor sap who was just trying to save his stupid people from their own stupid selves.
I have just… I have walked too many miles in those shoes, at the mercy of a game writer’s narrative whims, to not feel for him. To not want to help save him from this goddamn mess. Every choice-based RPG I have ever played has trained me to empathize with Solas.
And I just wish my Inquisitor could take him by the shoulders and look him in the eye and go:
“You must gather your party before venturing forth.”
“You like my side benefits?” - Class Differences in Flirting
Mage
Solas: You train your will to control magic and withstand possession. Your indomitable focus is an enjoyable side benefit.
Lavellan: Indomitable focus?
Solas: Presumably. I have yet to see it dominated. I imagine that the sight would be… Fascinating.
Rogue
Solas: You train to flick a dagger or an arrow to its target. The grace with which you move is a pleasing side benefit.
Lavellan: So you’re suggesting I’m graceful?
Solas: No. I am declaring it. It was not a subject for debate.
Warrior
Solas: You strengthen your body to deliver and withstand punishment. The muscles are an enjoyable side benefit.
Lavellan: You find the muscles enjoyable?
Solas: I meant that you enjoyed having them, presumably.
Lavellan: Oh.
Solas: But… Yes. Since you asked.
So the general consensus from the fandom is that Solas is SMOOTH AF
Epic Cosplay of “Horizon Zero Dawn”
Practical effects are advancing in the cosplay world while Hollywood atrophies itself with an overabundance of CGI.
things i say that confuse and worry my coworkers:
“happy birthday” every time i hand them something
“well, that’s not ideal” whenever something is going wrong
“we are in the timeline that god abandoned” whenever i’m mildly inconvenienced
“can’t you see that your fighting is tearing this family apart?” whenever two or more coworkers are arguing
referring to taking medication as “eating medicine”
“time to go back to prison!” when putting animals back in their cages
referring to inanimate objects as (s)he, particularly when i break something and say “oh no, he’s dead.” this concerns them especially when i follow it up with “that’s not ideal”
“what are they gonna do, fire me?”
I work in a blood bank, and constantly refer to blood types as flavors, such as “Oh, you need two units? What flavor is he?” And my older coworkers just look at me confused but my coworker that’s my age doesn’t miss a beat and responds “A Pos”
this is probably my favorite comment on this post so far
so fia and i got this lamp thing for christmas, it’s like a box that comes with a bunch of letters so you can write stuff on it
i know exactly what to do with this
PERFECT
You’re a regular office worker born with the ability to “see” how dangerous a person is with a number scale of 1-10 above their heads. A toddler would be a 1, while a skilled soldier with a firearm may score a 7. Today, you notice the reserved new guy at the office measures a 10.
You decide it’s best to find out what you can about this person. Cautiously, you approach his desk. He’s a handsome man, tall, but with a disarming smile. How could such a friendly guy with such cute, dorky glasses be dangerous?
You extend your hand. “I noticed you’re new here. What’s your name?”
He shakes your hand warmly. His gaze is piercing, as if he’s looking right through you. “The name’s Clark,” he says. “So, how long have you worked for the Daily Planet?”
This one wins.
It’s been a few weeks, and one of Clark’s friends shows up. She’s pretty and all, enough muscle that she must work out. First thought would be that she should be maybe a 6.
Clark’s introducing her around. “This is my good friend, Diana, she’s in from out of town.”
You blink, and take a step back in fear. You’ve never seen an 11 before.
This is beautiful
quit being silly you know what i want xenon
Happy 15th Anniversary to Treasure Planet.
Here’s some of the beautiful and inventive development art by various artists including Peter Clarke and a painted story sketch of the Legacy being pulled into a black hole by Francis Glebas. Francis painted his entire sequence- so great!
Added some Inquisition doggos now that I’ve finished the game.
Here is the master post!

Hear me out. Half-orcs who are–instead of half human–half dragonborn and are built like Guardian Lions
Thank you for your time
good d&d moments
-saying someone immidiately dies when they flub a survival check
-when one person is in on the horribleness/weirdness the dm is doing and they’re laughing while everyone is freaking out
-improvised weapons
-begging the dm to let you use a skill beside the one they just told you to roll
-everyone rolling low on perception and hearing the dm say “okay, never mind”
-deliberately terrible character voices
-running jokes that spring up within a group
-watching someone make an idiot of theirself in front of an important npc
-the evil dm laugh
-feel free to add more
-making checks for mundane things (DM made everyone roll a constitution check to see how well they handled spicy food)
-when u roll really well and the dm sighs bc u just ruined their bossfight
-when the DM isn’t 100% sure of how a specific mechanic works so they just go “alright well I think it works this way and I’m the DM, so,”
-when the DM comes up with a really cool puzzle/NPC/plot point and the party starts moving the narrative away from it and the DM begs them to check it out -when one of the party members has a cool new spell or feature or smth that they’ve been keeping secret until Just The Right Moment and when they finally pop it off everybody else is really impressed -when you kill the DM’s favorite NPC and they bring them back as the Big Bad
- when you want to do some extremaly cool stunt and everyone gets excited but then you roll 1
