Dragon Age Thread

[Sir Auriel of Lionel]

Alright I think this title needs a proper talking thread and not just my profile status. Let's start off in the beginning with a poll shall we? Post your favorite memes, your favorite lover, or just brag about the time you put Anders in his place after you found his manifesto in your manor.

 

[Questless Knight]

The game died with Inquisition and honestly not much to talk about I just want the series to stay dead and forgotten.

Aw yeah, let's go. I'll just shotgun some stuff here.

Series best bro: Freddie Mercury Dorian. Alistair almost wins, but Dorian just can't be beaten. I never knew that I'd end up liking him as much as I did, he's in the top 3 of Inquisition companions for sure.

Best Companion: Shale, fight me.

Thing I still laugh at the most: being able to get Dog to lick you entirely clean of blood on command. Actually what the fuck, I still laugh at it.

Most boring companion: Sebastian from DA2. I guess it's technically cheating since he was a DLC character and hardly had much going on, but god damn was he milquetoast.

Character who I killed literally every playthrough: Anders. Kinda goes without saying on that one. "I think the Chantry is bad, and they think mages are dangerous, so I'm going to be a dangerous mage and blow up a church of entirely innocent people." Seems like a solid plan, really helped the whole PR thing. They then tried to explain it off as the Kirkwall curse affecting him, which is...something.

honestly not much to talk about

I mean there's three entire games to talk about.

True it´s much talk about. But it´s better not to be reminded how they destroyed the series with the worst game imaginable I just wanna forget the series so I can have good memories of it.

Favorite Lover: Fenris (Gideon purrrrrr)
Favorite Class: Mage (honestly the only way to play is a mage except maybe Origins if you like to experiment)
Thing I still laugh at the most: Alistair's Rose scene. "Feel my thorns, Darkspawn!"
Favorite Evil thing to do: Sprinkle dragon blood on Andraste's Ashes (I need to unlock all the jobs yo)
Character I wish I could romance: Queen Anora, political intrigue is just flirting for me

"Sorry Leliana, having all the jobs is better than not having to kill you." Poor Leliana.

Character I wish I could romance: Queen Anora, political intrigue is just flirting for me

You can marry her as a human noble to become king, but she makes it pretty clear it's entirely for political reasons and she doesn't actually like you. I think you also have to spare Loghain to do it which means Alistair leaves, so I can't imagine many people did it.

Yeah well she was sidelined for Zev as soon as he offered himself to personal interrogation in my tent.)

Oh I know and I think that's a bit of a waste to how it turned into the end with only a few line choices than proper thread you could work up to, maybe a petitioned letter to the queen, she drops her letters to the chantry which always finds it's hands into a mother or sister for you to receive, you have chances of dead ends like telling her about Loghain being a traitor to the king, mention the King's affair, or just the wrong thing to keep her interest, she supplies a task or quest for loyalty to gain allyship, a lot of it would be off screen but it would be interesting to take a backseat to pulling threads through letters than just being a good swordsman. By the time you reach the landsmeet you might either have made Anora a full ally, an enemy or protentional lover who will approach the warden past the political marriage. You might still have to spare Loghain but at this point you might be already on that backstabing train to push Alistair aside for not being man enough to take the thrown by force, (still mad at being rejected as an elf warden in the end).
