Remember that scene in origins that proved the existence of aliens in the da universe? Yeah what the fuck was up with that

I posted a not so good photo of my Solas mural (painted by yours truly) somewhere a year ago (here) and you know what, i decided to share some much better pics to show how nice it actually looks irl. I am so in love with it and I’m being nostalgic bout Dragon Age today, so, please,bear with me boasting about it again 🙏

Walking in Circles

So I’ve been fangirling hardcore over Walking inCircles by @milee-cosgrove for a while now. The premise is simple - Solas gets sent to a Circle prior to the events of Inquisition - the story, is anything but.

It’s so fucked up that women are so universally dismissed and hated in society that nearly every single woman goes through a phase (if not a lifetime) of thinking she isn’t like other women purely because she has rational thoughts, hobbies, feelings, and needs.

So The Arcana’s pricing scheme is exploitative and terrible and I’m astonished nobody is talking about it.

The standard response from the developers is that all of the paid content is ‘optional’, but you know what I want out of my romance game? Romance. 90% of which is paid content.

Also, this assumes I don’t want to pay for the game. Except I do! I backed it on kickstarter! I want to give these people my money. But I also don’t want to be bled dry.

This isn’t even getting into how the kickstarter promised backers the game itself as a reward, then reneged on their promise, offering a paltry $10 refund to make up for it (which will buy you a grant total of 1 chapter for 1 character’s route). 

This kind of business practice hurts other kickstarter projects down the road, because it erodes people’s trust in the platform. A lot of indie otome game devs rely on kickstarter. But my experience with The Arcana has sure made me think twice about supporting any other projects.

The worst thing is I like the Arcana. The art is gorgeous, the characters are fun. I supported it on Kickstarter. I told my friends to support it on Kickstarter. But I can no longer turn a blind eye to how Nyx Hydra seems to be willfully exploiting their fans.

UPDATE: So this is what they posted in response to a fan asking them about this on twitter

I’m sorry, but this kind of snark in response to a legitimate question is horribly disrespectful towards your fans.

Eli is fucking princess mononoke bitches!!

While half the party fucked off to a brothel and got arrested Pascal and Eli went to further the plot, leading to them admitting to releasing the fey queen of autumn and disrupting the balance of the world and this order of mages to give us a bunch of gold, a very fast ship and some magical favors.

She enlarged her alpha wolf, Ghost.

She has a giant, white wolf mount.

I'm so god damn happy.
