Dragon Age Dwarven politics are so good. Just such a juicy mess and the games do barely fuckall with them. The gender politics. The castes. The ruins of the former palace becoming the slums. I would die to play a game that is just negotiating trade deals between Kal Sharok and Orzammar.
south of thedas: the mages are too dangerous,,, blood magic,,, summoning demons. If we dont control magic what horrors will happend
meanwhile in orzammar: so these are casteless and we brand them with a tattoo at birth so everyone knows they are scum of the earth and can't have any job, and when they die they can't go to the Stone because they will tarnish it. BUT they can maybe be something when they die if they join the legion of the death, where they have to fight darkspawn until they can't anymore. No powers or ritual like the wardens they go rawdogging it. lets make more golems!!! whose process is putting some dwarf in an armor and putting boiling lyrium into their eyes to create a sentient creature who obeys all our orders with this stick but can't talk about how they feel about it. making more broodmothers is good in the name of progress.
I wish they'd expand on the deep roads in dragon age. Can you imagine if it was more like the underdark with a vast ecosystem. Imagine a whole game there exploring orzammar and then smaller dwarven villages on the ouskirts of it. The fallen blight infest ancient thaigs making your way through the landscape to kal-sharok. Fungi forests and underground rivers and massive lakes.
If they gave a single fuck about the dwarves it could be so cool.
Replaying Inquisition, doing the DLC - what do you mean the Shaperate write all of their archives using lyrium?????
I just cannot even express how much that gets to me. Knowing what we do about Orzammar and the way the kingdom operates from Origins, the Shaperate aren't so much an archive as they are a tool for the ruling class.
Orzammar changes their history to fit a politically convenient image all the time, and they do so in the blood of the titans, the origin of their entire people.
Entire houses, entire components of history, people and paragons have been struck from the records in an instant, only to have their existence rewritten and reworked to fit the agenda of whoever is on the throne.
The Shaperate preserve their propaganda in the blood of their fucking ancestors.

Rica and Serena Brosca for Dwarf Appreciation Week by @loveofdragonage
Idk if this is addressed in the games but i'm starting to get obsessed with how Orzammar works as a society without daylight. And by that I mean without environmental changes showing that time is passing. I have no idea if we have any precedent in human history but like the concept of my warden having a completely different understanding of time is so endearing to me. I think drows in dnd have a thing with light changing in the middle of the city but I don't remember anyone talking about that in dragon age
