– farewell, warden!
we’re counting on you.
i know it’s so they can get shot dramatically but being an unmarried noble heir and having your illicit one night stand go see if anyone’s at your bedroom door is crazy. cousland you cannot want to stay in bed that bad.
On Southern Andrastian religious habits
Recently have been writing a Chantry brother character and got to contemplating how I think the clothing of folks in religious life in the Southern Chantry actually works, so here's some interpretation and headcanons!
like imagine it. you've been taken from your family and thrown in an abusive prison system that uses physical and emotional torture to keep its prisoners in line. you fall in love with another man there and spend a few years the happiest you've been until your gaolers catch on to your relationship and he's sent away just to hurt you. you spend the better part of a decade escaping your prison over and over again trying to cross the ocean to reach him. when you're finally free for good the first thing you do is head straight for the city he's in. you exchange letters with him and plan to meet, wanting to save him from what is probably an even MORE abusive prison than the one you were in. you finally reach him and find he has been illegally lobotomised just to spite you / lure you in. seeing you gives him a moment of clarity and he uses it to beg you to kill him. so you kill him. in that situation i would have gone straight back home and started plotting revenge, taking seven years to blow up the chantry is a sign of restraint imo.
Warden: “You should let it go.”
Loghain: “Should I? How do you give up what’s grown into you?”
in the art book it's mentioned that they considered having morrigan and isabela as dai-style advisors, and you know what that means. ultimate-sacrificed or succumbed-to-the-calling hof-romanced morrigan and left-in-the-fade hawke-romanced isabela middle-aged widow yuri. is what that means.
zevran with his hair down again cus i think he’s beautiful
Everyone talks about "for the chance to be by your side, I would storm the black city itself", but I honestly think so much more often about what romanced Zevran says right after that if you refuse to have him in your party for the Archdemon fight. "Cruel to the end", with the saddest expression I've ever seen.
You stole his heart (he did not ask to fall in love) and then won't even allow him to be at your side for the end. Because you both know that even if you did the dark ritual, this might well be the last time you see each other. If you told him to stay back because that might be marginally safer, even worse, because what does he have to live for at that point if he survives and the warden doesn't? He'd much rather fight and die at their side. He'd storm the black city itself for the chance to be at their side! And they won't have him.

Why Fenris could Never Cameo in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
In the run up to Dragon age: The Veilguard, I was almost certain that Fenris would be our main legacy character from previous games. Not only has he been central in the comics released between DAI and DATV, he is an escaped Tevinter slave who's plot revolved around magisters, magic and the structural prejudices surrounding elves in Thedas. Not only that, but he's canonically in Tevinter killing slavers currently so he's geographically in the right place for us to meet him.
About halfway through the game though, it was clear to me: Fenris could never cameo in The Veilguard. Because he'd break it.

Veilguard Fragrances: Emmrich Volkarin's Mortifer.
what if there were two beautiful women travelling with you and one obviously had a crush on you but you honestly had no idea that two women could love each other like that so you kept brushing her off until she gave up and instead started fucking the other beautiful woman so you were left alone listening to them at night and seeing them kiss in the morning and entirely alone forever knowing you're incapable of loving a man despite the fate that had been instilled in you since you were a child. just the typical morrigan experience in my worldstate.
