These two have big “no one’s allowed to kill her except me” energy and I think they should kiss about it
(i think they also deserve a nice break)

Astarion before falling in love with my goody two shoes paladin: "Oh this is great! This guy over here just keeps casting Compelled Duel on everyone so I never have to fight any of the really dangerous enemies. It's going to be so easy to manipulate him into protecting me lol."

I’m sure this has been talked about before but the health system in Disco Elysium is so good at portraying Harry’s physical and emotional state. Like yeah, looking at bullet holes in a wall can give you a heart attack. Someone not liking you poem can cause a complete mental break. None of these things on their own will kill you, but your mental and physical state is so fragile that any one of them can be the final straw. The health system and the story convey what a mess Harry is in complimentary ways and it’s fucking awesome
And if something would actually kill or seriously maim you? The health system doesn’t get involved. You just die or get seriously maimed. You antagonize someone until they shoot you? Doesn’t matter how much medicine you have. Get shot in the leg? Yeah that’s gonna stick no matter how high your health is.
And of course the way that both low morale and low health can kill you- and the way that their mechanics are basically the same- shows Harry’s state as well. His mental and physical health are separate, but both can end his career and both are endangered every time he talks to someone or does anything even slightly dangerous.
In most video games, health functions to give you a second chance. Instead of dying outright from a bullet, you just lose health. Disco Elysium is the opposite. You will die outright from things that would kill you, and also if you aren’t keeping an eye on things you can die from the embarrassment of failing to make a jump! The health system is a way of emphasizing your fragility, not your strength. It’s super coo!!

do any other dragon age fans sometimes just. randomly get insanely hyped over dragon age again and redownload all games that haven't been touched in months or years and deliriously start playing them every day, and then brainrot about it for a few months until it dies out.. and then the cycle repeats itself
it's like a fever 😭😭😭 i wanted to go to sleep but now im sitting here at 3 am trying to fix my dao again (which stubbornly refused to work and was crashing every few minutes and because of that i last played it like 5 years ago)
I'm like a sleeper agent. once i wasn't thinking about this game for like 2 years until some higher power randomly decided that if i don't get into it again I'll actually disintegrate
anyway i need to see my wife zevran i need to see him so bad please dao be kind to me and let me play—
