So, I’m playing through Dragon Age 2 for the first time, and you just kind of have to love the midnight street gangs that mob every inch of available street/roof space in Kirkwall as soon as the sun sets every night. These are truly the bravest and stupidest individuals in all of Kirkwall. Every time I see a gang now I kind of just want to applaud them before Hawke & Co. inevitably destroy them.
I mean, especially by Act 3, everyone knows Hawke by sight, and they still don’t even hesitate to immediately jump her/him every time she/he rounds a bend at night.
They’re just like, “Yup, we can take down the person who took out the Arishok in single combat.”
And then there’s the fact that Hawke is basically never seen without a posse of other absolute badasses. Any gang that tries to corner her/him has to figure that in addition to the Champion they’ll have to take on at least 3 of the following:
-An apostate who is clearly possessed
-the captain of the city guard
-An angry elf with lyrium powers who’s just looking for any excuse to rip out some more hearts
-A dwarf with a crossbow who will definitely make you all look like chumps when he tells everyone in Kirkwall about how easily the Champion wiped the floor with your whole crew
And that’s not even taking into account the fact that the Champion’s entourage has completely obliterated mobs of Qunari, blood mages, templars, dragons, darkspawn, and, by Act 3, at least six other gangs.
These gang leaders have gotta be like, “Yeah, if we just get like 20 of our most generic grunts in there, maybe throw in one mage or like a handful of Mabari, we should be good. Some of you guys could maybe jump from the roof midway through the fight. Just try not to break your legs when you land because then you’re definitely gonna be easy fodder for heart ripping. Anyway, good luck.”
