#sooo excited for dreadwolf help

[immobiliter]

okay my spoilery thoughts on dragon age absolution are under the cut! do not click if you haven’t watched yet!

on the whole, i found it surprisingly enjoyable! the show probably isn’t that accessible if you’re not already a da fan, i feel like none of the lore actually gets explained at any point ( nor the references to dai ), so its widespread appeal might be kinda meh, but as a fan i really really liked it and you can tell it was made by those who are actually involved with these games unlike other video game adaptations

of course bioware never miss an opportunity to throw a mage extremist/traitor in lmaoo. never trust a mage but that added some interesting layers to hira even if it was kinda sad about her and miriam in the end. i was really hoping that miriam’s decision to choose queer love in the end would be rewarded but alas :(

qwydion and tassia were the best characters imo, tassia in particular was sooo interesting as a tevinter knight commander who actually opposes blood magic and wants to make tevinter better. she also deserves way better than the magister dude. i hope we see both of them again in dreadwolf

i really liked the orlesian and lord of fortune! they were cute!

fairbanks :(((( he deserved better especially as the show had us thinking he was the traitor for most of the show. also that he was voiced by matthew mercer made it all the more sad when he was only in it for two episodes lmao

the references to the inquisition!! cass!!! leliana!!!! the quick two second glimpse of josie!!!! it all made me very, very happy

and last but not least: dfkdhdjfkf meREDITH. i’m so excited for what this means, not just for dreadwolf and the implications of the crimson knight and red templars setting their sights on tevinter, but also the implications on kirkwall. that’s a looooot of red lyrium, varric i hope you’re focused on what’s going on back home while helping out our next da protagonist
