i really like arcane bolt which is the basic, fundamental spell in dao that just does moderate single target damage but has a short cooldown so it can be cast repeatedly extremely quickly. we can kind of assume it’s the first combat lesson taught to all mages bc almost all mages start with it including the player character. (actually every mage even briefly playable in dao + the dlcs has it EXCEPT morrigan, fascinatingly. velanna has it so it’s not just circle mages. in my heart that speaks to morrigan’s uniquely isolated and potentially out-of-date education.) it does spirit damage and the similar spell in da2 is called spirit bolt & falls into the spirit tree rather than the arcane one. that makes it super visceral to imagine for me because it seems that what you’re doing to cast that fast, basically, is taking raw fadestuff, not fashioning it into fire or ice or anything, but just throwing it with the pure purpose of an arrow. dragon age magic is about imagination and willpower, about believing something and then using your connection to the fade to enforce that belief on the world, and i love the efficient simplicity of putting absolutely nothing into the world except this is going to hurt. anyway i like to imagine that different mages’ arcane bolts have signature colours i think that would be super cute

Tevinter Interior

The 360 version was made when everyone was very excited about that gimmick. Sad it was always a little too frustrating to work with, because the final products were always neat. I really liked the idea of open air skylights (that magically kept the rain out) and sunken living rooms. By Matt Rhodes

Absolutely love taking the least appropriate people for the quest.

Unethical polyamory not in the sense that the partners aren't consenting to multiple relationships but in the sense that they kill people as a group

im aware this is an insane thing to say but i fucking. love characters that are just cockroaches. and i dont mean like. gross i mean they just do not fucking die. they can survive anything. they will outlive EVERYONE because they just will not die no matter what be it because they have a reason or because they literally cannot stop surviving the odds i love it i love it

neve suggesting recruiting lucanis is so wild. there’s an audacity to it. especially if you’re not playing a de riva so there’s no prior connection to the crows. she said, “listen to me. we’re fighting gods. and to fight gods we need this one guy who used to kill venatori who hasn’t been heard of for a year and i never found out who he is and i really really want to know before i die. but we should hire him. for the magekilling reasons. in fact we MUST hire him. trust me.” she rlly said you miss one hundred percent of the shots you don’t take

“Run! I’m not ready for this!!”

I spent some time playing Dragon Age Inquisition. I love this game and specially the environments. In Emprise Du Lion, I fell in the lair of this dragon with my deer and the dragon woke up.

I was running from him with my mount. I wanted to draw this

My kink is unloved characters suddenly being loved unconditionally
