Inquisition version of this poll can be found by clicking here!

It'd be interesting to see who your wardens/hawkes actually romance vs. who you'd romance in the tags if you wanna share!

Officially at the stage of waiting for DA:D where I'm getting excited about discovering several slightly different versions of the same concept art in use by BioWare.

For one, it comes out a bottle. For two, I mess up, I get burned. For three? Bottle, little burned, no demons. So there.

(I am fully aware that tempests smash their bottles, preferably far away from their faces, but I wanted a badass shot, sue me)

vigilskeep just likes to believe they're right 100% of the time, it's not much use lol

I guess I appreciate the support (?) but I have nothing against them personally and don't particularly wish to have, idk them and everyone has a right to their opinion! And my intention wasn't to argue or like start some kind of personal confrontation. imo it's fine for one person to express a thought online and then for another to share their views about it politely and in good faith. which hopefully was the case

vigilskeep can vigilskeep right on believing they're right 100% of the time for all it's got to do with me haha, like yes mate have confidence in ur opinions! what use is there to anything on the internet except the free exchange of ideas

I mean I am european, I'm spanish and live in the very catholic, extremely cathedral-heavy city of barcelona so I am familiar with how that whole business works, haha. Trust me, I can't take a step without accidentally kicking a cathedral out here.

I guess I don't think that the orlesian chantry necessarily aligns with real-world catholicism in all senses (nor must urban planning necessarily align with european urban planning.) even if it does, there are typically different masses at different hours, and we also don't know what sorts of services are offered by the chantry, with what regularity, or if a substantial portion of the population actually attends or is allowed to attend.

In the city elf origin we see there is a chantry sister who is the only one willing to service the alienage and she goes there herself; I do think it's likely there are small chapels scattered around, as I said, but iirc characters tend to refer to the chantry as the only one.

I do see your point, and like I said there are probably other buildings, hall churches and the like, and chapels throughout kirkwall. I guess technically those could be called chantries. Nobles might have private altars within their own houses, possibly dedicated sisters as well, we've seen this is the case in the circles. to me the chantry seems so disconnected with the general populace that I don't think there's necessarily much need for multiple cathedrals in kirkwall. Obv I could be wrong, and I think either is likely tbh, but I don't think it's a wholly ridiculous notion to believe that the kirkwall chantry that got blowed up was the only one, or at least the only one of note.

I think it's very likely there are multiple chantries in places like val royeaux, antiva city, minrathous. larger cities with more of a religious presence; kirkwall just doesn't strike me as that big or that andrastian, and the chantry kind of sits atop like this detached presence lording over her subjects.

one of my favourite takes about the kirkwall hightown chantry is when people act like because it’s the only chantry they actually put in the game, it’s the only chantry in kirkwall

I only recently found out that not every combination of companions can even get inside Fort Drakon without violence.

And you're telling me that of all the possible combos, these clowns pretending to be twins WORKED?!

let it also be said that I love the Mahariel + Lavellan worldstate. It's so haunted. You are Dalish, you are not a part of human culture, but by happenstance you're dragged into it and to the forefront of hell to save a world that hates and fears your people. You have no choice. You can never return to your home, to the familiar, to anything you've ever known. You will be an echo; Mahariel echoing Garahel, Lavellan echoing Mahariel. You're so proud of your Dalish heritage, but your identity doesn't matter at all. Doomed to be a martyr for a people that do not respect you and cannot understand you, while your clan mourns, lamenting that they cannot bury you, no life-tree to stand as your memory. You're a hero. You're already dead. You died the moment you left your clan.
