at a phase in my life where when i get the sense a book is trying to offer me Representation (TM) i hiss and scream and start kicking and ripping bricks out of the wall. this character's Coherent Identity And Articulation Of Their Issues had Better fit in with the rest of the worldbuilding (it won't)

in an awesome world we would have gotten a version of corypheus where his existential terror of inhabiting a godless universe being his primary motivation for trying to ascend to godhood was actually played up and utilized to draw a thematic link between him, the inquisitor, solas, and andraste. we could have had a game where faith and fear being two sides of the same coin was a major motif and not just vaguely relegated to that one quest with the spiders. we could have had a protagonist who just might have to grapple with their role in a religion that has historically been used as a tool for oppression and genocide and whether that can be reconciled with their own moral convictions. we could have had bisexual blackwall. it could have been awesome.

we should invent a prison for writers and put david gaider in it. to get out he has to write a paragraph describing a woman in a way that isn't completely insane
