DA:O/Awakening mage reference post

Decided to do a DA:O/Awakening mage/mage rights screenshot masterpost for reference, similar to this one I did for DA2.  

Feel free to use any of these screenshots if you need them for meta/argument/etc. purposes as long as you link back to this source. Also feel free to add to this if you want.

Very long post under the cut (mostly due to images and image descriptions). CW for Tranquility, abuse, torture, suicide, and solitary confinement.

Chewing on the idea of Astarion and durge crossing paths before the main events of the game.

Considering the temple of Bhaal and Cazador’s dungeon both connect to the sewers perhaps as the temple leader Durge had to work with him to avoid any vampire vs cultist turf wars.

Maybe even out of fear Cazador extends an invitation to durge, a “we can help each other please don’t kill me” invite. (Astarion even says in game Bhaalspawn are far more feared than vampires)

Or you can’t tell me the local vampire lord isn’t involved in the city’s criminal underworld putting him in contact with Gortash who introduces durge. Maybe they’re simply a plus one to one of Cazador’s balls.

It seems like durge was actively seeking allies to bring about the apocalypse. What would be a better ally to a murder cult leader than the local vampire lord?

Whatever way they end up in the crimson palace it’s Astarion who is ordered to entertain them. Because of course he’s the one ordered to attended to his master’s most dangerous guest. And they’re simply not interest in his flowery words or the kind of entertainment he has to offer. Nor do they harm him either because Gortash told them to behave or because they don’t want to risk the confrontation with Cazador for killing one of his spawn. So they just chat maybe Astarion even warns them about his master only for the dark urge to laugh it off.

Or even just bumping into each other while they’re out hunting for prey. Crossing paths in a dark alley or the sewers. Maybe they set their sights on the same target or maybe even target each other only to back off. Astarion realizing his target is far too dangerous and Durge realizing he’s undead there for unfit to sacrifice to their father. Maybe they have an awkward chat or some playful banter before parting ways to find their next kill.

Of course dark urge has no memories of any of this and Astarion doesn’t bother to remember every face he comes across. Maybe he vaguely recalls encountering a Bhaalspawn but they’ve changed so much since losing their memory he would never recognize them now.

Imagine if Astarion was able to taste something off about Durge's blood. Like, he feels extra strong after the first bloodsucking scene right, but what if the reason he felt so powerful was because he drank the literal blood of a GOD.

Now, imagine he just thinks blood from all thinking creatures does that to him. Thinks that's the reason why Cazador never let him drink from any humanoids while he was under his control.

UNTIL he's in battle and he takes a bite from one of their enemies and sure, it's definitely better than animals, but it's not that same power surge that Durge's blood gives him. It's not the same high.

Slowly, the more people he bites and the more times he drinks Durge's blood, the more he gets suspicious that there's something that sets them apart. Then, he meets Dame Aylin and smells her blood. While definitely different, it has a suspiciously similar quality to it. And he realizes before everyone else, that it's a DIVINE quality. That Durge is the child of a god.

“Mages aren’t people like you or me,” Cullen says to Hawke, at his most self-important. This remark will never be forgotten.

based on his background of being raised to take over as the first talon of house dellamorte and mary kirby saying that he is a dumpster fire of a bisexual, i hope that lucanis’ romance is filled with him fumbling over his attraction to rook. I know in the trailer he seems so suave but i would love for that to be a bait and switch for what his actual character is like. i want this man awkward with affection and attention. he’s spent his whole life training to take on a position he doesn’t want and i want him to realize that he’s allowed to make the decision for himself about following his feelings for rook and letting himself be selfish about things he wants

The real question I’m having after that dragon age trailer is: WHERE TF IS VARRICS CHEST-HAIR?

[baldurs-gays-worst-bard]

Okay I watched the Dragon Age Veilguard trailer. I'm not sure how I feel about the art style tbh, but I do feel like people in the comments are being a little too harsh on it considering all we have is a cinematic trailer so far. And maybe the art style will grow on me. It kind of felt like they were presenting it as like a dragon age take on a heist story, which would be cool if true. Let's be honest, it's dragon age, so unless it's absolute shit at launch I'll probably be playing it

Vax, how did Dorian react when he first see u without hand?

‘But it’s only my lucky guess.’

Even though Vaxus later doesn’t really ming being ‘disarmed’ I think the moments of amputation and right after where terrible for both of them. 

Dorian later says to Vax ‘Fuck the arm, I’m just happy you’re alive.’

You can recognize a dragon age game by the fact that there is always one character that LOOKS like a raging lesbian, only for her to be painfully heterosexual.

So who will it be in dreadwolf 🧎
