i said in a reply to @/sandetigerrr the other day it's nuts duncan sees All Of That Happen to f!tabris then at ostagar goes "okay now you go into this forest where no one else is around alone with three human men. dw abt it." tabris should of been given the dialogue prompt to attack him like a wild chimpanzee for that.

can you imagine how annoying it probably was to train floyd talbert as a soldier (if you weren’t someone by the name of richard winters)? like yes he is a good guy and yes he can do all the running with exceptional stamina and yes he is a masterclass in nco leadership and yes all his fellow enlisted men like him and yes he’s funny and charming and yes he’s a great shot and yes he’s a police chief’s commanding officer’s teacher’s pet and yes he’s a brilliant strategist and all around born-for-this airborne paratrooper

but he’s also a fucking idiot who keeps sleeping around with local women (…only? we’ll never know), contracting stds, stealing shit, getting stabbed by friendlies (idiot behaviour caused by stealing shit), stealing more shit, getting caught stealing shit, and flirting with his fuckin platoon commander.

who the hell would want him anyway

there should of been a scene post "unrest in the alienage" in dao where cyrion has an extensive conversation with tabris in front of their party and every companion is like "what....Is This" bc the idea of a father having a normal interaction with his child is foreign to them and they'll be kinda feral shelter cats about it

So I actually wanted to spin this off into it's own post bc while it is how I personally write my Tabris I have general thoughts abt this.

Tabris throughout the game is able to take (player-determined) revenge against several people that have directly harmed your community: Vaughn, Howe, and Calderius by killing all three. Alistair gets to not only see this, but then you deny him his revenge at the last possible moment?

But unlike those previous three, Loghain not only has more value alive than dead as a warden but also national hero with those still loyal to him, including his own daughter, this is such a parallel to Tabris themself.

Regardless of however you handle the origin, Tabris is labelled a criminal to be imprisoned and (very likely given canon) executed. Duncan "saves" you from that fate bc you are more valuable alive than dead, but it's not a kind fate and he tells you as much, even more so if Soris takes the blame, Duncan refuses to step in to conscript him too, as, whatever fate awaits him will be better than what fate awaits Tabris. Which he tells you in no uncertain terms.

Out of all of the origins, Tabris I think gets the full pragmatic warden experience directly in their face bc that's literally how they're forced to join.

So it's a rather tasty bookend to do the exact same thing to Loghain, and makes it all the more tragic for Alistair bc he can't see this is what Duncan would of done, and actually did through Tabris.

there needs to be more celene & leliana content bc they are parallels and also have a buckwild relationship in One Single Book

but also bc in a worldstate w divine leliwarden w an elf, you can imagine meetings w the hof on leliana's lap getting their hair played with while celene and briala Leave Room For Andraste bc celene 5d chess outplayed herself into thinking the decision HAD to be made for the good of orlais to be distant and briala only encouraged her bc she's playing her own game of 5d chess

it's not even an important meeting
