I love DA2. The shitty graphics. The horrible gameplay. The story so unavoidably devastating and beautiful and horrible. Everyone hates each other. Everyone loves each other. You’re constantly filling the streets with bodies and there are no ramifications for this. There are ramifications for everything you say and do. Everyone’s bisexual. There’s a dragon in the mine. You lose everyone and everything you love and care about and it’s inevitable. Isabela gets an STI at one point. Merrill is a blood mage. You go from rags to riches to going on the run. You have a dog. You set your friend up on a date with the guy she likes. You hunt down a serial killer who takes the last member of your family away. Your doctor friend is possessed and loves cats and commits domestic terrorism. You have no control. You control everything.

★ In the morning, the experience of staying overnight at Shepard's humble place felt surreal. Having a gorgeous woman for yourself from the early sunrise made Liara content. Well, there was also her enormous dog. A bothersome, curious beast that seemed to enjoy disturbing people's personal space. ★

Zevran: I am hardly the person to lecture on the worthier points of human nature, but surely this is a fine time to display the oft-lauded virtue known as mercy?

Zevran: I deserved to die, and you spared me. Why are you so quick to condemn these mages?

Warden: You’re a lot better-looking than most of the mages.

Zevran: Why, thank you. Flattery would normally distract me, but not today. Inconvenient, no?

Warden: You’re saying I made a mistake sparing you?

Zevran: (Nervous laughter) Perhaps. But you did it nevertheless, no?

Warden: Magic and knives are different.

Zevran: Magic can kill. Knives can kill. Even small children launched at great speed could kill.

Zevran: Why single out the wielders of one and not the others?

Warden: Mages can do more damage with one spell than you ever could.

Zevran: Mm. Touché.

Zevran: I’ve taken the lives of many throughout my career, but this is no measured act. There is no chase, no hunt, no dignity in this… there is only slaughter.

Warden: What about the people they might slaughter?

Zevran: Might, not will. Committing genocide just because something might happen is more than the mark of a weak mind. It is insanity.

Warden: Zevran, you’re a hypocrite.

Zevran: Perhaps I am at that, and a thief and a murderer as well. But I looked my victims in the face.

#i could not believe how long and detailed zevran’s argument is during broken circle#there are so many dialogue branches#and the note specifically describing his laughter as nervous#the script actually just reads ‘chuckles’ but the VO comments say ‘nervous laughter’#the warden kinda just threatened him there! and this is a warden who’s willing to slaughter a bunch of mages so it’s a very real threat!#and zevran’s clearly very aware of that! and he keeps pleading for the mages anyway!#he is so ready to go to bat for this - no one else in the party argues the point in anywhere near this detail (via carabas)

Zevran fights the most for the little people, the downtrodden, the ones forgotten and shunned by society. Because Zevran knows all too well (more than most of the other companions) how it feels to be trapped in a role that you cannot choose to opt out of, only because of an accident of birth. 

Poverty in his case, magic in theirs, but it is hard to not see the parallels.

And I hereby apologize.

The list of Notable Blood Mages on the dragon age wiki is so fucking funny like it's literally
