I started my ACTUAL FIRST DA:O PLAYTHROUGH (embarassing for a DA nerd i know), went human non-mage because im a loser
Saw gilmore and
Immediatly went
"yes, you,
You shall be good friends with mr cousland right here"
When i first met alistair in da:o i was actually kinda shocked that i like him?
Like theres something to be said about the way the fandom had me perceiving him (vanilla straight boy whos kinda awkward) vs the actual man in the game (menace??? Horrible, hilarious menace of a man??)
Like i understand why we like him now, i am smitten, BUT ALSO WHY DO I ONLY EVER SEE HIM PORTRAYED AS THE BORING VANILLA LOSER THATS SO MEAN
A common complaint ive seen about dragon age inquisition is about its roleplay capacities
Specifically about the way the origins dont really affect the narrative when perhaps they should, and the lack of meaningfull control over your characters story
And while i think thats honestly a good criticism, it might unintentionally be a really good framing for the inquisitor
Because, as has been going around a bit,
the narrative is a bitch.
Your inquisitor isnt lavellan, or cadash or adaar or trevelyan
Your inquisitor is
The inquisitor.
Their identity before is removed from them, they are stripped of their autonomy (because look they ARE captive and they CANNOT refuse their position, not really)
And they are put into the position of an unwilling martyr
An icon of a religion they may or may not even be apart of
A symbol for things they might not believe
Because it doesnt matter if they believe
It doesnt matter who they are
Theyre a symbol
And the people believe
The inquisitors feelings dont matter to the narrative, nor the people
As long as they keep smiling and waving and doing their job
My biggest issue with Dragon Age is that they put so many goddamn hot babes in there and my Hawke/Warden/Inquisitor can only romance ONE!
Why would they do that? 😔
Can't wait to recreate my sweetheart, Adharyl Lavellan in DA:V
After Solas had left, she really said "divorced haircut" because Tresspasser said "fuck your pretty modded hairstyle"
Wrong way to flirt with a lady: "You look nice" ❌❌❌
Right way: "I was chosen to kill you in case you fail your magic exam" ✅✅✅

Beautiful post, but you’re missing the mabari from Dragon Age!
[Image Description: The picture is a meme format with a man pointing up at the sky with the caption "If nobody got me, I know videogame dogs got me. Can I get an amen?" A dozen images of different dogs scattered around the screen. There is a Saint Bernard named Sumo from Detroit Become Human. A white swiss shepherd dog with pointed ears named Scratch from Baldur's Gate 3. An Australian Cattle Dog with a black and white spotted face, one ear and eye covered in black is Boomer from Far Cry 5. A giant grey wolf holding a sword in its mouth is the Great Grey Wolf Sif from Dark Souls. A wolf with an eyepatch over its right eye is D-Dog from Metal Gear Solid. There are two German Shepherds next to each other, the top one is Alice from the Last of Us 2. The one on the bottom is Dogmeat from Fallout. There is a shaggy grey-furred Irish Wolfhound named Meeko from Skyrim. An unnamed Golden Retriever that is a non-combat pet from the Elder Scrolls Online. A Shiba Inu with a pair of headphones on its head at a control panel, its paws on two different levers is named Mira and from Silent Hill 2 as an easter egg. A border collie that's smiling with its tongue out is from Breath of the Wild. A pixel-art picture of a white dog is the Annoying Dog from Undertale is in the top right corner and rotated.]
I come back from the dead and it's always something different. Here's my dragon age origins character with Alistair.
Another Calpernia ♡ Well this blog might just become a Calpernia blog now, ha. Calpernia in winter attire finds a Halla statue in the snow... somewhere, no idea where. I really love drawing her *-*
Sketching some tests of my Qunari Rook for Dragon Age Veilguard. I'm still not sure which class and background just yet.
Trying to use the actual chess piece for inspiration might make my Inquisitor based off of a bishop piece? or maybe a knight?
🚨 ATTENTION 🚨
Opening comm busts! Please DM if interested!
