somewhere out there right now is a kid with curly hair being raised by people who have wavy hair at best and those people are giving them 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner and telling them to dry brush it. and that kid is gonna spend all of middle school and high school hating their hair and moping over the flat iron. they're being told right now that if they don't dry-brush their curl pattern into oblivion every morning it means they're unkempt and gross even though they naturally have the kind of ringlets that a thousand bridezillas would commit horrible murders for every june. it's happening right now it's an absolute epidemic and a tragedy every time

fenris literally said "i'm completely fucked❤️" and then decided to translate it in the most romantic way possible.

I really do miss the DAI formula for the dialogue wheel. I understand they didn't want to go back to silent protags like DAO, but the Inquisitor always felt so malleable and personal. For almost every line of dialogue where your character could speak, you'd be given an option for how you wanted to respond. You could interject in some companion banter and choose your own dialogue, or you could ignore them. You couldn't even be "evil" in Inquisition, but I never felt like I was boxed in or that my character was saying the same thing but worded slightly different. It felt like my Inquisitor was mine. Like they were wholly different from the character someone else was playing and it wasn't just in my head. The game reflected that. Inky rarely ever spoke without your input, and while you had to save the world, it felt very much like your reasons for doing so were your own.

I miss that.

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future" is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."

do we have any of those neutral-light head models for someone like Teagan, Cailan or Eamon? i feel like a comparison of their models to Alistair's would prove how unequivocally darker he is than the white characters in dao... (but then again. racists will always just be racist lmao)

Here is Alistair vs Cailan

And here's a post with Alistair vs how artists often draw him in the exact same game lighting
