This will be comprehensive to only a select few people but the reason why Dragon Age: Origins objectively rules and stands out from its sequels is because it somehow manages to perfectly capture the vibe of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller (1988).

The fantasy politics of Inquisition were okay but what about when there was just a random tree spirit who only spoke in rhymes for no discernible reason? Peak storytelling. Bring the poet-tree back.

#rambles #Dragon Age #I mean you can probably guess what I watched to bring this about lol #but I'm serious!! like even down to the music!!!#it reminded me so much of DA!!!#but also the just.... that mesh of whimsy and darkness that is so unique to folk and fairy tales #yes there is evil and terror but there's also goodness and wonder #there are things that cannot be explained but we'll try our best with what limited imagination we have #don't get me wrong II and Inquisition are still fun in their own ways #but I am fairy and folk tale enthusiast FIRST and LAST #and the other two don't hit that sweet spot #edit: somehow managed to come this conclusion and post it around the same time DA is trending #woops
