Wow! Characters aren't always written to hold the 'correct' opinions and you can disagree with them! What a shocker.

Also, I think it's funny how some people think they have a better grasp on the writing of the series than Bioware themselves.

Dear BioWare, please cut this shit out.

I just. Fucking. Can’t with this… How the fuck can you think to have your Dalish characters say something like this, when you are writing a world in which there is nothing “old” about these wounds?

Slavery is still legal in Tevinter, and still in wide practice almost everywhere in Thedas but behind closed doors; slavers prey on alienage elves all over, and transport them to Tevinter or even sell them in their home nations, like what happened to Fiona. During the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden, they openly sold and bought Fereldan elves as chattel. Antivan Crows most frequently purchase elves as slaves because humans find them beautiful.

This is because crimes against elves are almost never investigated.

The segregated communities they are forced to live in known as alienages go without basic services, like clean water and waste disposal.

Nobles hunt Dalish elves for sport, and terrorize alienages for fun. So do chevaliers as a graduating ritual. Entire alienages can also be “purged” if the elves get too ‘unruly’ or so much as ask for better living conditions, in some particularly harsh cities.

Scholars write papers on how elves are more akin to animals than people, and that human-elven relations are a sin against the Maker.

It is illegal to defend an elf from a human in Ferelden.

Elves are not allowed to carry weapons at all in Ferelden, and only blades no larger than their palms in Orlais.

Humans burn Dalish clans out of forests if they get too close to town.

Templars kill and kidnap Dalish mages, bringing them back to Circles to torture them.

Worshipping the elven gods is forbidden by the Chantry, and they send harassers to try and convert the Dalish to Andrastianism with threats.

It is an everyday occurrence for city elves to be called “knife-ear” or “rabbit,” and are supposed to just take it.

City elves are expected to be Andrastian, but are not allowed to actually join the Chantry.

All Chantry works depicting elves is forbidden, past depictions all burned or altered to erase elven involvement in Andraste’s story, and the Canticle of Shartan was made dissonant.

Elves struggle to find work and are only hired to do poor and/or dangerous jobs that are ‘expendable,’ but sometimes not even then, considering they’re refused work in the mines in Kirkwall. If they are injured, they are cast aside or even simply left for dead.

All of this shit and more is why humans continue to benefit from elven oppression.

And that’s just off the top of my head.

Until forgiveness is deserved, the Dalish don’t have to forgive jack shit. No one in their right mind forgives an ongoing offence. Or are you really that fucking out of touch with your own GD writing?

Hoping so hard that the companions are romanceable by anyone in the next game. I don't care that it's not realistic it's what I deserve after having to pick between Dorian or Iron Bull if I wanted to romance a man in Inquisition. It's a fantasy game, and the characters being 'mc-sexual' wouldn't detract from the experience at ALL

[your-local-free-marcher]

Imagination is fun!

If Merrill was Inquisitor DA:I would be thirty seconds long

I've never seen a fandom that takes ingame politics and decisions as seriously as the dragon age fandom. Like damn nobody cares if you think Anders was right to blow up the chantry or your essay analysis on the video game religion can we all just have fun with our hot video game characters and call it a day
