let me tell you how jarring it was for dalish to come rocking up to me and start speaking like colonel sanders and.....i don't even know what, in that order
girl we pulled up to a CLEARLY abandoned dock and the dialogue was like "why is so quiet? this is a busy dock! there should be people here selling fish and having conversations! this is unusual!" "hmm yes something must clearly be wrong" LIKE?
two minutes after something happened, the characters reconvened and said "okay, so this is what happened" GIRL I DON'T NEED THAT RECAP??/ WE JUST DID IT
I’m 15 hours in, one of my characters is hardened (I genuinely didn’t care), and it hasn’t gotten better. I keep going back hoping it’s just my mood but I turn it off yearning for 2.
we are at the blighted village that is clearly blighted because we heard something might be wrong and maybe we will hear about the blighted gods while we're here and then the mayor is like "the blighted gods blighted this village" and homegirl is like "THE GODS DID THIS???? D:"
idr where it happens but i especially like the friendship is magic speech where its like we can do anything if we do it together!! as friends!! and its like bro we just met like 3 hours ago
i loved harding so much in da:i and so far i'm just kind of "hey yeah harding.....that's right i like her...." and neve i'm like "yeah sure" and with bellana i'm like "when do i get to replace you"
and he walked up there and he was like "solas ppl are dying!" and solas was like "everybody does D|" and varric was like ENOUGH TALK AND PULLED A FUCKING GUN ON HIM LMASLDGIUASODFIU
varric: he just needs an excuse to not do it! I'll give him one! rook; ok yeah go for i believe in you varric, looking at solas: augh god you're like....doing something bad.....gosh how do i put this..........like, it's mean
Watched my husband play this and my fave bad line is etched into memory eternal Some companion: wow! How can we even get up there? Rook: there's always a way to get places
the whole game feels very surface level dragon age. it felt as if the writers got out a rough draft and instead of letting them spit shine that bitch until it was great, execs read the first draft and went “good enough”
Allegedly that actually is partially what happened. They were given an outline from the people that originally were working on it and then rewrote a lot of what the game was going to be? From what I read a long time ago
executives looked at every 6th page of the script and was like "i don't understand what's going on? where's my PA with my 3pm cocaine. add some explainers in there so the player understands what just happened because i don't understand and if i don't understand they don't either"
and then underpaid janice is like "sir....if you read the part the page prior where they found the body, most people can deduce that the person died-" and the executive is like "SSNRRRRRRTT what? get out of my office i have to watch pornhub on a company laptop now. who are you anyway. you're fired"
rook; ok yeah go for i believe in you
varric, looking at solas: augh god you're like....doing something bad.....gosh how do i put this..........like, it's mean
Some companion: wow! How can we even get up there?
Rook: there's always a way to get places
