remembered once again that there was a significant number of the bannorn that wanted a cousland on the throne and all I can think about is an arranged marriage between f!cousland and loghain by maric to suppress any growing rebellion/discontentment
#they would both hate it so much#this could also be maric attempting real politics cause naming a farmer to the second highest title in ferelden has got to be unsettling#for the bannorn no matter if it’s loghain mac tir hero of the river dane#like he’s still just a farmer and canonically leaves gwaren for the capital and doesn’t look back#he’s a bad teyrn!!! because he’s not a political man and he’s not supposed to be!!!#this au would also end with a coup and still put a cousland on the throne just as maric feared#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#loghain x cousland

mage wardens should have the opportunity to protest at the joining because that's blood magic babey!!! the thing that literally just upended their lives and almost got them made tranquil
#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#mage wardens#sorry I'm back in my “I don't like duncan” era#I hate the phrase greater good in fiction#but its so crunchy when the person saying it is actually damning you

duncan is such an interesting character and yet I don't think ive ever played a warden that actually liked him
#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#he's just so......blunt about everything#there is no honor in the warden's under him#no sympathy no reluctance#he's such an easily hate-able character for your warden#he can forcibly take them from everything they've ever known and loved and yet there's that conversation you can have about him with#alistair later on where most of the options boil down to oh but he's a good man#every interaction the player has had with him before that point says the opposite tho!!#for couslands he leaves your parents to die and your home stolen out from under you when he had a perfectly willing recruit in ser gilmore#for mahariels hes left your best friend/lover alone in the forest with the darkspawn taint and near forces your keeper you mentor#to cast you out of the clan in the hopes you maybe survive the joining#for tabris he's the human that initially disrupts your wedding being rude and confrontational in a situation he knows he doesn't belong in#just cause he knew your mother but not you never you your opinion doesn't matter just like every other human in thedas#the only origins imo that have neutral to positive interactions with him are the dwarves and mages where he is actually saving you from#a fate worse than death in some instances and then there's the pre-joining speech he gives which is a whole separate rant

I’m sure it’s been said before but I still think it’s very interesting that Duncan waits to recruit Alistair until after Maric dies like what’s that about
#he was supposed to be maric’s friend of a sort iirc and yet….he puts alistair through a ritual#that had like a fifty percent survival rate at best and this isn’t even to bring up fiona and her potential feelings on the matter#like what was the game plan of alistair had died??? was he just gonna shrug his shoulders like oh well it happens to best of us nothing to#do about it now. duncan is so fascinating in contexts like this cause like if you’ve only played the games (like myself) he’s actually a#very one note character- he only cares about stopping the blight nothing else matters#not your agreement or approval or even understanding it doesn’t matter!! cause he knows best and being a warden is sacrifice both yours and#the people around you. everything and everyone is expendable to a degree so long as it further your goal (killing the archdemon)#and that makes him such an easily hate-able character for pc’s cause he directly ruins your life at the start of the game#and then you have to carry on his legacy unwillingly!!!#sorry i'm back in my “i don't like duncan” era#fascinating character but I really hate how the game didn’t really let you speak badly of him without expressly disapproving#of it in your talks with alistair about him#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag

trying to fly through broken circle with mithra and ive forgotten a lot of her initial characterization but its now canon for her that she was crushing suuuper hard on greagoir before the whole Jowan Thing™️ and coming back to the tower Is Not Helping any lingering feelings
#it’s also probably why sten is her bestie rn#(that also might be me genuinely enjoying arguing with him too tho whoops)#and I’ve always planned for her to recruit loghain#I think this says something about her character but I’m refusing to connect the dots on it today#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#mithra surana.tag

mithra is the first warden since my very first that actually chooses to kill conner and I forgot how heart wrenching isolde’s voice acting was
#still don’t like her but damn girl I feel you on this one#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#mithra surana.tag#mithra’s reasoning was jowan is a blood mage and lied to her before#and the circle is too far and they don’t know how long conner can be kept at bay#and even if she did face the demon in the fade the boy would still be sent to the circle and when they learned he’s already#dealt with demons he’d be made tranquil so he’d be dying either way really#this is the first real hard decision she’s had to make

Jowan saying he thought blood magic was the only way to avoid tranquility is sooo juicy when you’re playing a warden that didn’t turn him into Irving
#like my brother in andraste you almost made me tranquil instead#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#I think I should probably start tagging mithra’s playthrough so I stop confusing myself#mithra surana.tag

playing around with a new warden and I'm contemplating an au were morrigan offers to teach a f!mage!warden the ritual instead
#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#I think my favorite part of this au would be my wardens corruption arc lmao

replaying ostagar is so tiring ever since the flemythal reveal, it makes listening to her and morrigan just exhausting
#a talkative qunari.tag#origins.tag#I hate the flemythal thing with a passion#and i can only really see morrigan as a petulant child doing her best to be a grown up#no matter how hard I try I just can't get myself to role-play characters that would earn her approval anymore#inquisition kinda ruined this part of origins for me#like I understand and sympathize with morrigan's character I just don't like her anymore#I roll my eyes every time she talks

switched over to playing origins and jumped into a save that was doing the lost in dreams quest and I finally understand why everyone hates this quest :(
#lost in dreams my beloved why do you sick so much for non mage characters😭#still enjoy it more than the deep roads#origins.tag#a talkative qunari.tag

made a whole new side blog just to say greagoir and my warden are in a relationship in this playthrough and that’s a fun twist on the harrowing and warden recruitment scenes I hadn’t ever thought of before and now I’m a little obsessed with them
