do you think your rook sleeps with socks on?
25 for Hissera?
25. What is/was their relationship with their family like?
WELL. Hissera was the battlefield baby flavour of Mercar. When Charon's men found her, he stopped them from killing her (there's no honour in killing an infant etc) and chose to bring her back to his wife in Ventus since they had no kids of their own. They were both extremely overprotective of their adopted daughter when she was a child, but as Hissera grew older and Charon and Priscilla managed to have children, it began to feel like Hissera couldn't do anything right in her mother's eyes especially.
So she started acting out for attention, as she came to realise that she was only ever a substitute for Priscilla's maternal love until she had a baby of her own. The relationship became strained, her "acting out" led to her getting arrested for getting into fights with other military kids, sleeping around as she got older, and she desperately craved any sort of approval or love. Charon was always very kind to her, but Charon wasn't often there. So she left home at 19 and hasn't really talked to her family since.

Striking fear into the hearts of men
20 for the DA asks, including Hissera and Eugenie?
20. Who handles responsibility the best? And who handles it the worst?
The majority of them are actually pretty responsible and can handle it for the most part? I would probably rank them as:
Eugénie - has brought back a Marquisate from the brink of ruin and managed her family's political, social and financial interests while also holding a place in the Emperor's inner circle even before you factor in the marriage. Add that on and he's also managing the royal family's political, social and financial interests and keeping the court in line. And she handles it with both grace and a will of solid steel. Whatever faults Eugénie might have and what criticisms she might draw, no one has ever been able to accuse her of not being damned good at handling responsibility and duty.
Magni - similar tier to Eugénie, but being a second son rather than an oldest child has let him get away with shirking responsibility when he wants because he's "not the heir" or "just the consort". When he locks in though, he locks in. They took their Warden duties extremely seriously (up until they were forced to resign due to conflicting political interests and how they handled things in Amaranthine) and took responsibility for their children (Magni the Younger and Valda) by Mardy and later Kieran.
Glorian - the only reason she's higher than the last two is because she's gone through parentification and has been the sole breadwinner for her family. She doesn't handle it great but at least she grins and bears it even in grief, and won't avoid it.
Arthur - listen. I would have loved to have put him higher, but I actually can't. He avoided responsibilities that he came to dread and wasn't very good at, preferring to let Josephine handle a lot of the political aspects because he cannot deal with that. When the fallouts that lead to Trespasser happen, he's fucked off to the Frostback Basin on a research expedition. He gets overloaded easily. The only reason he's not last is because he took his responsibilities in the Circle seriously. But the ones as Inquisitor? Yeah he's delegating as much as he can so he doesn't have to do deal with it.
Hissera - reckless, irresponsible, doesn't think things through. She's also the youngest of the bunch and unlike Eugénie and Glorian who were similar ages at their starts (Glorian at 23, Eugénie at 24), she didn't have anything that kept her disciplined. Taking over for Varric is the first real responsibility she's ever had and she struggles.
anyways , i implore everyone to check out obsidian's non fallout games cus they're genuinely so good . pillars of eternity , poe: deadfiee , avowed , the outer worlds , the outer worlds 2 , tyranny , grounded i could literally go on . they shine immensely when working on their own ips and it's so fucking bleak how they're being turned into a bethesda work horse
30 questions about your Dragon Age Protagonists
[Lately I’ve been thinking about how my Warden, Hawke and Inquisitor would act towards each other and ended up writing out an ask meme. Feel free to ask me these (just pls not all of them at once) or just reblog it idc. I’ve just never seen many questions asked on how the three protagonists would view each other. Or many compare/contrast type questions. I tried to keep these as general as possible]
What would your Warden generally think of your Hawke and your inquisitor?
What would your Hawke generally think of your warden and your Inquisitor?
What would your Inquisitor generally think of your warden and your Hawke?

Is your inquisitor jealous that both the warden and Hawke have a mabari hound?
What would they think of each other’s combat skills/techniques?
Are all your protagonists the same combat class? And what specializations did they take?
What would your inquisitor and warden think of what happened in Kirkwall? Would they have supported Hawke’s decisions?
Would your warden or Hawke have actually accepted the role of inquisitor if Cassandra had located them as she’d planned to? Would they have been a good leader for the Inquisition?
Do your protagonists share the same opinions on the Chantry?
Do your protagonists share the same opinions on mages rights?
Do your protagonists share the same opinions on blood magic?

If they’d been in each other’s places would they have made the same or different choices? And who would they have romanced, if anyone?
Would your protagonists have the same character alignment?

How old were each of your protagonists at the start of their respective games? Do you think their age affected the choices they made? Looking back would they have done any major action differently?
How do each of your protagonists handle loss?
What is/was their relationship with their family like?
Do any of your protagonists marry and/or have children?
What would their fears on the graves in the fade during Here Lies The Abyss be?

Out of your Warden, Hawke, and Inquisitor, who is your favourite?
do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?
Do you have any friends that are 4x your age or more?
Yes
No
I have friends a quarter of my age, if that counts?
If I was friends with someone 184 years old I would never shut up about it. They would be "my friend who is 184 years old..." every time I opened my mouth at least until next year when they would become my friend who is 185 years old.

I still reference this post today. And yes, when I say I reference it I mean I sing it.
A quick card painting done under the influence of an appropriate amount of vodka just now. It keeps me from thinking too hard about all the ways this game keeps breaking my heart
