Nice try Bioware, but I know the state of Southern Thedas better than you do.

First off, it matters if the Hero of Ferelden is alive or not. When the First Warden recalled all wardens, our hero knew that was a bad call and refused, finally splitting off from Weisshaupt after years of mismanagement and taking scores of wardens with them. Their presence and leadership makes all the difference, rallying southern Thedas once more against the blight. If you have only an Orlesian Warden Commander in Amaranthine they’re less inspiring, but as long as you’ve done Awakening they are a boon nonetheless. There is someone to lead the fight against the darkspawn while other focus on the Venatori.

If you 100% completed Awakenings and also Soldier’s Peak, the Ferelden wardens have never been so prepared. They’re organized, they’re outfitted and they’ve been ready for this for years. Also, if you allied with the Architect then you have scores of strange research to give you an edge.

If Merrill completed her Eluvian then she moves south once again and joins the effort. She’s managed to cleanse the blight before and she’s ready to try it again. And her knowledge of the crossroads gives the south an edge on their movement and supply lines. If Hawke’s sibling is a Warden they accompanied her.

If the Inquisitor let Briala have power in any way, the Dales become the leaders in the war against the Venatori, forming a formidable alliance with Ferelden, Orzammar and the Marches, the likes of which have never been seen. And if you completed Jaws of Hakkon then their alliances with the Avvar and Chasind are stronger than ever.

Of course, if the Inquisitor kept the Wardens around after Here Lies the Abyss then their numbers are bolstered. It may cost Wiesshaupt later, but that’s Rooks problem. And if you completed the Descent, then the Inquisitor and Warden had a much better idea of what was coming and spent ten years getting ready.

They will not be broken.

They will weather this storm.

The only reason Blackwall doesn’t look like this in game is because if he did look like this no one would want to sleep with egg man or the catholic cop

I think the core of the stab wound for everyone regardless of who they romanced, who they saved or not, boils down to like... 10 years of waiting on DA4. 15 years of "Choices matter! What you do now will have effects later!"

... and now we got "Your choices matter in your heart!" which isn't what most of us signed up for. We literally would have been happy with flavor text. That's what flavor text is supposed to do.

annnnd that’s why all of the community council members said to only play inquisition in the lead up to da:tv. only having three choices at the beginning is such bullshit.

Branwyn ”Bryn” white raven; blessed: is my favorite rook concept atm! She’ll probably be my 1st play through pc.

I’m also considering the names Orion, Iris and Sylvan

Thanks so much @riessene for the template!

seeing "i am so sad there isn't a princely romance option like alistair or cullen in veilguard" comments is so funny to me because, while alistair may literally be a prince, both of them have such big loser dork energy to me (spoken so lovingly) when you first meet them that i must assume we have very different ideas of "princely"

I was having a moment on r/dragonage yesterday. Apparently there are people who only do one playthrough of the game(s) and then don't play it again????

Sick of people treating any sort of overlap between lesbian and bi women's communities as a thing of the past. If you are a bi woman who dates women you are going to end up in "lesbian spaces", "lesbian culture" is often going to be your culture, and "lesbian issues" are often going to be your issues. Bi women should not be expected to just like. shut up and let the REAL Sapphics(tm) take the reins in every single conversation ever, especially not in conversations where a bi woman's perspective is noticeably lacking. Despite it all this is still My Community and thus I am going to be affected by its issues. Lol
