#but also ive never finished the jaws of hakkon dlc so

[attractthecrows]

let it also be said that I love the Mahariel + Lavellan worldstate. It's so haunted. You are Dalish, you are not a part of human culture, but by happenstance you're dragged into it and to the forefront of hell to save a world that hates and fears your people. You have no choice. You can never return to your home, to the familiar, to anything you've ever known. You will be an echo; Mahariel echoing Garahel, Lavellan echoing Mahariel. You're so proud of your Dalish heritage, but your identity doesn't matter at all. Doomed to be a martyr for a people that do not respect you and cannot understand you, while your clan mourns, lamenting that they cannot bury you, no life-tree to stand as your memory. You're a hero. You're already dead. You died the moment you left your clan.

#dragon age #mahariel #lavellan #dalish origin #its so fucking. UGH #its SPICY its TANTALIZING its GIVING MY CHARACTERS MARTYR COMPLEXES #And you. child of the dales. who will remember YOU? not your symbol; YOU #who will remember the meaning of your vallaslin? who will remember the elvish prayers you mutter to yourself? #Who will remember? Not the humans. It's a wonder they remember Garahel was elven. nevermind the wild elves that are so feared #okay editing the tags #GUYS I FORGOT ABOUT AMERIDAN #but also ive never finished the jaws of hakkon dlc so #limited relevance #and tbh given how little is known about ameridan before You Find Him i dont think it's as applicable #like in the greater thedosian memory it's not 'lavellan is just like ameridan!' its going to be 'Whoa! two Dalish heroes in 10 years!'

// Dragon Age Questions

Tagged by: @dalathin Tagging: idk man come take it

01) Favourite game of the series? i am ATTACHED to da2, but dai has jumping and man i love that so much

02) How did you discover Dragon Age? uh.... no idea honestly. i think i bought my ps3 and then just grabbed a handful of games, and dao was one, and then i just. i was hooked. 

03) How many times you’ve played the games? 

dai way more than i should, but i’ve only finished dao twice, da2 once, and dai like. several (ive been on a dai finish quest for alllll endings)

04) Favourite race to play as? 

elves because... elves.

05) Favorited class? it was mages at the v beginning but dual wielding rogues? my new fav

06) Do you play through the games differently or do you make the same decisions each time? i generally make the same choices, but sometimes i just go ‘fuck it’ to see what happens -- one of my most recent playthrus, my inquisitior was a dick. i mean i loved her, but she was truly a horrible person

07) Go-to adventuring group? mmm in dao it was alistair, wynne, zevran usually. in da2 it was typically fenris, anders, isabela. dai usually sees me with dorian, bull, and then the third one changes based on 1) who i’m romancing 2)what my class is and 3) who has the best weapons at the moment

08) Which of your characters did you put the most thought into? 

definitely teren by far. he’s my baby and i feel everything he does on such a strong level. but ellie is now beginning to get the same amount of effort

09) Favourite romance? 

you can pull the dorian romance from my cold dead hands thanks. THAT BEING SAID i also adore encouraging bull/dorian, and if that means i need to romance someone else, then fine. cullen, too, is precious. i’m quite fond of zevran and anders’ romances. (i love fenris as a romance, but i feel like idk... there’s just more thought and angst in anders)

10) Have you read any of the comics/books? 

nope 11) If you read them, which was your favourite book?

i should get on this, honestly

12) Favourite DLCs? trespasser is gold, but i ADORE jaws of hakkon. ameridan’s story is just. i love it. admittedly i haven’t actually... complete most of the dlcs for dao or da2

13) Things that annoy you. i mean nothing comes to mind? i guess the sort of inherent sympathy for mages? like the game kinda pushes you to that, and the templar route in dai is so fascinating and kind of? more developed? than the mages? but everyone chooses mages because, well, mages.

14) Orlais or Ferelden? ferelden on like.. principle, but orlais is hilarious.

15) Templars or mages? i always end up choosing the mages just because i feel like thats what the game wants, but i also really love the templars in dai

16) If you have multiple characters, are they in different/parallel universes or in the same one? well my player characters are generally in their own verses, but game canons are generally all lumped together. mostly its based individually though

17) What did you name your pets? (mabari, summoned animals, mounts, etc) i only ever named my dog in dao, and that was rune. i think i named the one in da2 something similar. i don’t.... name things.

18) Have you installed any mods? 

i only JUST got into modding and well. that’s why i don’t do anything else anymore

19) Did your Warden want to become a Grey Warden? 

aedan didn’t, aliana hadn’t considered it but was pretty happy about it

20) Hawke’s personality? sort of a sarcastic dick, honestly.

21) Did you make matching armour for your companions in Inquisition? not for all companions, but my quizzie and their LI always have matching armor (and if its bull/dorian, i give it to them too).

22) If your character(s) could go back in time to change one thing, what would they change? teren would never go to the conclave, ellie wouldn’t have had her vallaslin removed, aedan would have tried harder to train, ali wouldn’t have changed much, warren probably would have tried harder to get along with carver. then there’s all the canon shit for the game canons

23) Do you have any headcanons about your character(s) that go against canon? idk how much of what my hcs are are for or against canon. my main thing is that fenris is not from seheron or whatever. also teren’s mark began acting up at least a month before the council, but he hid it from people. morrigan is not straight, but that’s mostly just for samarha. and also hawke isn’t just a mage. he’s actually more a rogue than anything.

24) Who did you leave in the Fade? 

i typically leave stroud where its an option. teren left loghain, and ellie leaves alistair because... i mean mostly because she didnt want to see varric sad. ive left hawke a few times though

25) Favourite mount?

i’m really fond of the frost elk
