inquisitor: what is the hero of ferelden like? alistair: they sacrificed isolde guerrin to save connor. it was fine though because they gave me 24 sugar cakes to keep my mouth shut. wynne: they called knight-commander greagoir a 'fucking idiot' right in the middle of abominations attacking the circle. I wasn't even mad because they suddenly had The Rose of Orlais and gifted it to me. zevran: they didn't even hesitate punching caladrius, he was finished before we could even join in. they gave me beautiful dalish gloves. leliana: they called the revered mother in the lothering chantry a 'greedy old hag'. she got me my favourite flower, andraste's grace, immediately after, how strange :) oghren: you all got gifts???

#da:o #dragon age origins #alistair theirin #wynne #leliana #zevran arainai #oghren #. honestly i dunno what would give you low approval with zevran because i would never dare #. he gets gifts just for being there hehe #. i just thought of this because of how much you can change approval with just gifts #. i remember in my first playthrough i let isolde sacrifice herself #. and alistair got SO mad omg #. never made that choice again #. if anyone has any ideas what morrigan sten and shale would say feel free to add

Oh, Hawke, one day you'll succeed in defeating a big bad villain for good. ("But wait," you say, "What about the Arishok? He died, surely?" Lies and slander. One day Hawke will succeed…)

We are eagerly awaiting the dignified return of the Arishok over at Patreon and society6. He'll be back any day now.

#champions and heroes #Dragon Age 2 #Hawke #Corypheus #Meredith Stannard #no Sten being the new Arishok doesn't count #I want THAT one #the one who used Hawke as a stress toy #don't try to give me a new one and just name him the same thing #it won't work Bioware #it will be just as effective as Hawke is #that is to say it would be a lot of energy wasted for disappointing results

hiiiiiii i've fallen back into dragon age hell (origins, specifically) if anyone wants to DISCUSS things i am here

#(twirls hair) i think i'm falling for alistair all over again (sickos meme) yes... ha ha ha... YES.... #and it's mostly through realising how there's lines that are just SO unprompted or have no build up with the context of the subject?? #but obviously not in a bad writing way it's just *alistair* like #leliana: oh how i enjoyed the quiet of the chantry so i could contemplate and be at peace 😌 what about you alistair? 😊 #alistair: i liked screaming #LIKE honestly why was the grand cleric trying to keep you #or even the dialogue when you're trying to talk to him about his history and he's like 'it's boring though :/' #so you tell him to make up interesting stuff and he suddenly says 'i have some interesting looking moles i can show you?' LIKE??? #you are a sad strange big man and you have my love #BUT ANYWAY i'm having a moral dilemma over the most minor quest and have been staring at the same screen for like 30 minutes #and i know it's hard to see but sten looks so GOOD i'm shocked and thrilled i managed to get every mod i wanted to work... work

sometimes i forget how batshit da:o is. paint some doors with blood in broad daylight. dump some bodies in a well right next to the chantry. grandma's got a spirit in her body. Sten rip his arms off

#dragon age #dao #to the tune of 'grandma got run over by a reindeer': grandma's got a spirit of faith inside her #sten #daria: this is the first time in my life I've been on the surface and humans are wild. sure I'll paint blood on these doorways say no more

[vigilskeep]

everyone is so funny and abnormal after anora betrays the warden to ser cauthrien

#sten roasting her to death. leliana is so indignant. zevran like okay everyone whos up for regicide say aye #they love me <3

[nohr-selphias]

Sten, tear his arms off.

#this is my roman empire #dragon age origins #dragon age #sten #I’m almost certain I’ve posted just this before but what can I say #it’s my favourite dialogue choice

[motherofmabari]

If you loved Sten in Dragon Age Origins and hate Lae'zel in Baldur's Gate 3, you need to ask yourself exactly why that is

#motherofmabari #I'm just saying people love Sten #And he is VERY similar to Lae'zel and I'm seeing a lot of pouting about how mean she is #Y'all ask for a mean woman and then get mad at her for being mean #baldur's gate 3 #Dragon age #lae'zel #lae'zel of k'liir #sten dragon age

[inquisitorhierarch]

i find the attempts to retcon Sten in the later dragon age games into being the ultimate super specialiest boi VERY funny, not just because based on the way qunari society works they should ABSOLUTELY NOT be picking arishoks from just randos among the beresaad like. dude’s not even a karasten or karashok, come on! the ENTIRE POINT of the way of the qun is that people are expressly trained specifically for their roles. an arishok should have been trained from birth EXPLICITLY for command and both military and spiritual leadership, not just “oh, well... his Literal Place under the qun is as part of the wall of meat that tramples the heathen southerners but he did a really good job one time (and the players wanted to fuck him for some reason) so we’re randomly breaking all our society’s rules and promoting him magically even though We Don’t Do That Here.”

but also. bull’s JOKE of a line about “oh uh yeah when qunari don’t have horns it means they’re super special!” in inquisition LMFAO. oh okay bioware. nice swing!

so what about the other 30 or so qunari mercenaries in origins who Also don’t have horns. what was so fucking special about all of them, huh? mind the curveball<3

#i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again #you can’t Meaningfully prove that the Vast Majority of origins is Canon lmfao #ALSO if he’s been so special since forever because of the lack of horns. why was he assigned to be a random fucking sten hm?? #at BEST he should maybe have some special blight/southerner advisory position. promoting from merit is Literally Foreign to the qunari #they literally. Broke Their Lore. just because y’all want his dick so bad

Society if Danganronpa fans realized that Toko isn't in love with Byakuya more so that she's in love with the idea of him, proven in how she straight up imagines things Byakuya would not say in any circumstance and Ultra Despair Girls where she fantasizes just that. A fantasy of how she wants Byakuya to be: the ideal man of her dreams:

#Sumechiaspeaks #Not to mention her history of being an abuse survivor causes her to be drawn to his behavior #And how even Genocide Jack recognizes it as Toxic but she's ‘into it’ #And her feelings on the actual Byakuya aren't positive either #When Byakuya reveals that she has DID she blurts out an ‘I hate you’ to his face #And her surprised face in UDG when Byakuya says he’ll always be disgusted by her #She's not actually interested in Byakuya. she's interested in the man she's always wanted #This stens from the years of rejection and isolation in her life #From a boy in elementary school admitting he hates her #To a guy in middle school going out with her as a dare #To her literally believing that no one likes her #ANYWAYS I'm not normal about Resident Weird Girl Toko Fukawa and Rich Dickhead Byakuya Togami. Sorry ❤️ #I just love their characters and I feel like boiling Toko’s screwed relationship with Byakuya as just her simping #Is a massive disservice to both of them in an analytical sense

While we all know about Hawke's character-assasination in inquisition, I personally remain.. preplexed? a morbid kind of impressed? with how that game also managed to butcher my Warden with only about 5 lines of dialogue referring to him and a letter.

#dragon age #dai critical #mostly everything leliana says #because look. they were friends in origins. But it was doomed from the get-go #and that's kind of the beauty of it in origins isn't it? The setting of war makes a lot of room for relationships that would in any other- #place in time- any other scenario be impossible- to happen! #for Orion this applies to Sten and Morrigan too. #The whole thing of- one day you will walk out of Denerim and into a life that will entirely contrast my every value; #Stealing Dalish artifacts. Becoming Arishok. Working as left hand of the Divine. #Next time we see eachother chances are we will no longer be on the same side #we both know this but tonight we still gather around the campfire. we still sing. we still laugh; exchange gifts and talk about the world. #it's bittersweet yes but it's the type of tragedy that feels like everyone involved already knows and is at peace about it #So when inquisition comes around and Leliana tells me Orion is still a close friend of hers? It feels like it cheapens the whole thing #Yes the devs can't possibly account for every possible way either installment can be played just for those small moments #But that is WHY they should either be bringing the old protagonists back as playable or simply not include them at all #The warden I made would not even leave room to question that he and leli are now on hostile terms #and he CERTAINLY would not send a polite little letter to a force whose purpose is to restore the chantry to power #And then you have the throne room chatter. which i straight up hate im not going to be poetic about it #the fucking da keep remains horrendous #oh we desperately need to have shithead npcs shittalk the hof . what? your hof did NOTHING that would warrant that? haha too bad #you simply can't pick what you actually DID in those quests #You found Bevin didnt take the sword and just gave them 5 gold out of the goodness of your heart? No you didnt #You just persuaded the random mercenaries in the gnawed noble tavern to leave? No you killed them #it infuriates me

I didn’t know literally all the companions you can take to the Fade in DA2 sans Anders will sell you out and try to kill you and their friends for a demon deal I’m losing my shit. I knew Merrill did bc she did it to me but apparently anyone but JustAnders will ditch your ass to make a deal with a demon and I’m absolutely going insane

#Fade day must have been a real win for Anders. the high ground to gloat @ Fenris & Merrill over long term arguments. at Aveline for hopping #the abomination train after 8 fucking seconds. UNREAL her takeaway from it was ‘Mages should all be locked up’ bc she gave in and not ‘I #suck for selling out’ like get fucked for that Aveline real bitch move. rip to you but I would simply not kill my friends for a demon wish #and did not!!! you know what’s not hard?? saying no & walking your ass away. Feynriel said no and he’s like 13 and a dreamer which is the #highest risk type of mage. it’s not impossible to say no u just kinda suck #EVERYONE but Varric and Merrill deals with it by going 😌 ‘actually this is either Hawke’s fault or demons can’t be faught against and not #my fault at all actually fuck you either Mages Hawke or both 😌😌😌’ like actually fuck you guys #shoutout to Varric and Merrill at least for going ‘ha ha :’-)) sorry for suckiiiing haha :’-))) this was real bad huh? mb bro haha :’-))))’ #like I can respect that. the rest of y’all get your unable to accept blame or responsibility for your actions asses off my damn porch #literally everyone in DAO said fuck off to deamons with little effort & several were too smart to even start to be tricked #‘it’s impossible to fight back!’ Uhhhhmmm tell that to Alistair Wynne Morrigan Sten Zevran Ohgren Leliana & the Hero of Fereldan Fenris and #Aveline!!! maybe your willpower just sucks ass and you should fuckin learn how to say the words ‘I’m sorry and I was wrong’ did u think abt #that???? did u? #dragon age 2 #every other companion: ‘You didn’t give in to the desire demon???’ #Anders & Justice: ‘what like it’s hard?’

"congratulations you found a wastebin" funniest possible response to finding the priceless remains of a legendary historical figure

#me when someone tries to show me their dead grandma #sten is GREAT in this whole quest he's absolutely vital #him challenging you when you get to haven is a great little moment #him unexpectedly defending the wastebin from the cultists. just because he hates cultists... which is somewhat ironic #i rly want to know what he says if you say the qun is just as wack (i dont think it is and im also too cowardly to pick it lol) #and his moment with the guardian is *chefs kiss* love him #sten dragon age #dragon age
