#def gonna have to do a playthrough where i romance her because omg

[glitterdustcyclops]

so anyway last night i went to the githyanki creche and did that whole thing and i'm so glad i did because it just made me love lae'zel even more? like in my other playthroughs i skipped that so i when i got to baldur's gate and she went hard down the fanaticism pipeline i was kind of like "oh bbgirl why" but doing it this way, and she is actually willing to listen to the fact that the queen she worships as a literal god does not have her best interests at heart?? even though you can tell that absolutely terrifies her, she does not know who she is if she's not a servant of vlaakith, but she's willing to turn her back on all of that for what she sees as following the truth, and omg i love her sm for it

12-30 for the Dragon Age questions!!

omg thank youu!! ;; this will be long…………

12. Do you prefer DA:O, DA2, or DA:I most?

okay okay this one is hard. i would say da2 just because to me it feels like… well, definitely much shorter, you can complete it in a few hours if you only focus on the main quests and you still get the whole amazing plot and i can compare the feeling of playing da2 to the feeling of reading a good book i’ve already read 48 times. i love that game. BUT dao is just amazing. it’s perfect. it’s so good. SO GOOD. so like.. ye ye ye da2 is the winner here BUT dao is close behind, dai….. nowhere.

13. Favorite mission from DA:O?

NATURE OF THE BEAST!! i love that questline. i always look forward to that one. i love the location, the story, the conflict between the elves and the werewolves and it’s overall a great fucking quest i love it so muchbut also lost in dreams is a fun and complex quest. i love the fade parts of the da games, love facing the demons and nightmares and finding the way out,, ‘tis fun

14. Favorite DA:O party combo?

alistair, morrigan, zevran. they are def my faves and they have the best and funniest banters. i don’t even think i bring anyone else?? sometimes leliana

15. Favorite DA:O companion overall?

morrigan ❤️💖💖 im love……….. but also alistair and zevran are close behind

16. DA:O: Did your Warden survive?

i have two main wardens and yea both of them survive because it fits their selfish personality. they wouldn’t sacrifice themselves, if there’s an option to save your ass then why not use it? i’ve been wanting to do a playthrough where my warden dies a heroic death but i just can’t see reason in it. when morrigan offers you….. to live……. why tf not lmao ofc i’m gonna live

17. What did you name your Mabari?

if only i could remember…….. i remember only one name i gave to a mabari in da2- marigold. but i can’t remember the others. i don’t really like the mabari tbh :/ i don’t have a good relationship with dogs in general

18. Who did you choose to rule Fereldan?

aaliyah cousland is the queen with alistair and with caiwyn surana i made alistair the king as well. idk but honestly if you harden alistair i think he’s a good king and i trust him, seems useful to have friends in high places..

19. Favorite mission from DA2?

Bait and Switch and A Bitter Pill…… since i’m a big fenris.. fan. but also The Last Straw, i just really love the whole tension in act 3 and the ending.

20. Was everyone loyal at the end?

usually yeah i like to see all my companions standing by hawke’s side. but lately i’ve been leaving aveline out of this because i don’t feel like being friends with her anymore lmao and i don’t actually care about her approvalbut when i think about it… they all have no reason to not be loyal? i’m always supporting the mages which means anders and merrill will support me no matter what. varric and isabela too because they are friends. and the only people who would leave are fenris and aveline and since i’m usually romancing fenris he doesn’t leave as well. and like i said, idc about aveline

21. Did Hawke side with the Mages or Templars?

mages!! (fun fact: in my very first playthrough i sided with the templars because meredith sounded convincing 👀👀 but i didn’t side with the templars ever since, i cried when i found out i had to kill anders after i let him go, i really cried a river that night. idk why i sided with the templars i should’ve seen the shit coming ;;)

22. Favorite DA2 party combo?

varric, isabela, fenris. i get no mean bickering like this :/

23. Did you give Fenris back to Danarius?

no. what do i get out of it? it’s just unreasonably cruel and unnecessary. if there was some profit in it then i would do it with an “evil” hawke playthrough but i feel like da2 is just a good game to play a good character who loves their friends and wants to help the mages. when i feel like making “evil” choices i play dao or whatever

24. Favorite main-story quest from DA:I?

hmmm.. probably what pride had wrought. it’s more enjoyable i guess. i like the mythal temple and the sentinels and their lore n stuff. just…… elves. i really love elves and elven lore…..also i really like champions of the just, i think that it’s a very cool quest, being in the inquisitor’s head and facing the envy demon. if only i didn’t have to recruit the templars after that. yeh and i like here lies the abyss too because i like the fade and facing the demons and getting out.

25. Favorite DA:I place?

emprise du lion ;; i love the snow….. and the elven ruins are SO BEAUTIFUL there. also the emerald graves… because they are pretty and green and uhhh elven again. AND the hissing wastes because despite being sandy i don’t imagine them being hot, i think it’s quite cold there. they are dark and so quiet and it’s just this never-ending emptiness and i love it.

26. Did your Inquisitor choose the Mages or the Templars?

my three main ones sided with the mages. but i did a few other playthroughs where i sided with the templars just because i wanted to try something different. and like i said earlier, i actually like the templar quest i just hate the templars and i see no reason to seek them out because they are useless

27. Which did you leave behind (Abyss)?

always straud. alistair is the king in my canon worldstates so it’s very easy to choose between hawke and straud. tho i also did some alternative playthroughs where i set alistair as the warden and i would just switch between alistair and hawke but from rational pow… i feel like i should leave hawke behind and let the warden lead the wardens. but since i don’t care about straud and hawke is this public figure i can’t leave them behind :/ yeah and varric’s “where’s hawke?” is heartbreaking

28. Inquisitor’s feelings on being the Herald of Andraste?

all of my main inquisitors (väellera, kaz and lyrhis) are dalish elves and all three of them hate it. kaz the most, it bothers him a lot. lyrhis learns how to use that title and understands its meaning and value. väellera feels powerless in the matter, like it doesn’t matter what she thinks, people are gonna use it anyway, so she stops giving a shit. eventually kaz does the same as väellera

29. What are your feelings on the Chantry?

i personally, in my most humble opinion, loathe it. i’m not really one that should speak about religion, i don’t mean to offend anyone’s beliefs, BUT let’s just say i simply see christianity in it and i don’t have a good relationship with that.

30. What are your feelings on the Circle?

when i started with dragon age, for a short time i thought that the circle is a place for the mages to learn about magic and that it’s similar to the college of winterhold in skyrim. simply a nice place to learn and study. but yeah i quickly stopped thinking that because the circle is nothing like that. it’s a prison and it should be like what i just described but it’s not. i don’t like that the mages are treated as something inferior, they are constantly being watched by the templars if not straight up abused n stuff. they are not allowed to leave, they are treated unfairly, often they pick weak mages for the harrowing because they simply want a reason to kill them when a demon possesses them in the fade. it’s ugly. it’s unjust. not a good place to learn because they only teach you what they want you to know. yeh i don’t like the circle very much.
