Ok, i see ur “Hawke told Varric about their sex life” and raise you “Hawke’s LI told Varric about their sex life”

Merrill must only get mildly tipsy before she is spilling ALL the smutty smutty details (”Oh and then Hawke put their tongue in my–” “DAISY!”)  Fenris is tricked into it by Varric purposefully assuming the wrong thing (”And it was tender and chaste?” “Don’t be ridiculous.” “So it was all passion then!”)  Anders gets all soppy and waxes poetical (”Kissing Hawke is like coming up for breath after being underwater so long.”)  Isabela ghostwrites her own chapter of the book (”This means I get a share in the profits, right?”)

Sebastian is the only one who can keep his damn mouth shut.

Halsin joining our camp to see that the guy who played with the tiefling kids is now a devil, some pasty elf is biting people in their sleep, a githyanki and goth girl are slapfighting, there's a tiefling on fire, and that wizard just ate a pair of gloves.

The most BANGER thing Lae’zel says in the entire game is:

"If Voss speaks true - if ascension is a lie, if tadpole purification is a fairy tale, then I have not sinned against Vlaakith... she has sinned against me."

I genuinely, genuinely wish Dragon Age: The Veilguard would have just committed to making certain factions like the Antivan Crows and Lords of Fortune morally dubious, instead of trying to paint them as just kinda quirky.

It's especially egregious with the Crows only because they have so much previously established lore that's really dark. Even though they're not outright retconning things, they are ignoring a lot of stuff, or at best only hinting at that dark shit. And every time we get a hint I want to pry it open further, but no, you never can from what I've played so far at least.

And with the Lords of Fortune, I would have so much less of a problem with them robbing ruins and stuff if they didn't try to make it seem like they had superior morals about it. Just let them be assholes!

i'm always gazing into the distance thinking about city elves bc, despite bioware forgetting them entirely, there's stuff like this dagger from the tabris origin in dao:

elves are not allowed to own weapons in denerim to begin with. so this means that they went to SIGNIFICANT effort to keep this thing at all.

it survived hundreds of years from the dales collapsing to the present day thedas, with the name and story attached, despite the various displacements and woes the elves went through in between then.

the fact that it's named after fen'harel, and yet has this positive connotation of defending a home rather than betraying allies, is huge actually! like that's wild. not only did the city elves remember fen'harel at all As A Concept despite their forced conversion to andrastianism, they ended up with a very different view of it than the dalish.

i would argue that given how the city elves are always struggling under corrupt and brutal nobility, they might have retained a stronger cultural memory of the arlathan rebellion as a positive thing in their stories. and the dalish clans are technically descended from dales nobility too, so that would also have an effect on their ideology?

FURTHERMORE. if we assume there were multiple felassan-style immortal elves running around, with varying loyalties and agendas, then... i am once more on my "the dalish Historical Misinformation Nightmare has been fomented intentionally by immortal elf agents to keep them worshiping the evanuris" ted talk.

which also explains why the city elves didn't get affected by that! bc... the type of immortal elf who would be an evanuris partisan, would also see the city elves as hopeless and not even worth the trouble to influence.

THIS is how the city elves can still win-

i like to imagine she always has a dagger strapped to her thigh. and not necessarily for self defense

thinking about how lae'zel is literally THE first character you ever see on-screen in bg3 even before getting to make your own tav, and how her story as a young warrior from a race of people who were once enslaved by mind flayers is SO deeply intertwined with the main plot of the game, and how she herself has such awesome character development focused on loyalty and duty and being free to become your own person and make your own path in life and how she's arrogant and aggressive and closed-off and says edgy shit like "i know only blood-red and death-black, my mind is silver and my body steel" but then she also speaks so poetically at times and can be so romantic and compassionate and she gets embarrassed when you tell her it's "tiefling" not "teethling" and she responds to shadowheart saying "have we buried the hatchet?" with "no, why would i bury a weapon, is it broken?". and how she was basically the only origin companion that i knew nothing about before i played bg3 for the first time even though i'd been seeing constant posts about the game for months!! ugh lae'zel i love you so much you deserve so much more appreciation.
