I want to find, rather than write, good, objective meta about how Leliana throughout the games deals with a serious identity issue, because she is hyper-aware of how her abuser shaped her into a killer when she was just a teenager, and of how she enjoyed it, and she hates it.

Surely its been discussed, but I don't believe i've seen it ?(or perhaps if it is, not often enough) but.. I cant help but wonder just how powerful The inquisitor really is?

Went through a play-through where I drank from the Well, finally. Most of the translated elven writing made a lot of sense, but this one I got nothing: "She shook the radiance of the stars, divided them into grains of light, then stored them in a shaft of gold.

Visitors to Orzammar should keep in mind that the hierarchies of dwarven society are much more complex than our own. It is easy to gravely insult a man simply by mistaking his position. Since this can lead to unnecessary loss of life and limbs, I will attempt to mitigate the danger for my fellow travelers.

So I got deep into thinking about birthdays in Thedas, after a delightful little fluff headcanon jumped into my head and refused to let me pay attention to anything other than that. There are only TWO confirmed companion birth years.

More of these are solid since WoT2 came out, so I do still advise checking the wiki, but this is close enough to get a general idea of how old people are.

That talk about Solas leaves me wondering the future of the franchise gameplay wise. As it's by now an classic for Dragon age games to play as mage, rogue or warrior. But if Solas succeeds no matter what, then it means most people from future generations will be born as mages due to the direct exposure to the fade.

Do you think there's anything else Anders could have done in Act 3? I always support him but I also find the other people killed in the explosion hard to stomach (and the "innocents always die in war" thing is too callous). Why not confront Elthina directly?

A very interesting conversation Lavellan has with that professor guy. They just found out the Avvar at one time in the distant past bound a dragon with the spirit of their god "Hakkon" making an enormously powerful dragon. Sometimes I wonder that too, game.So we get talk of god-dragons, which are great spirits possessing dragons.The Augur also spoke about how they mourn their gods (spirits) when they die, and the gods are reborn into a new form.

Have you explored the Hissing Wastes with the Iron Bull? When I did for the first time, I was utterly charmed when he started geeking out over the architecture and the history of the dwarven ruins. It's seriously adorkable, with some bonus Bull/Dorian banter involved.

There's something suspicious about Solas being agnostic but also talking about "great (religious) rituals" and that you should "tread lightly, this is sacred ground" in a reverent voice - what is up with that? Why are rituals worthy of respect to him when he hates the evanuris and finds modern religious organizations to be bad, and he doesn't think gods are real?
