Talking to her though, it’s very much a case of, she’ll only want that if she gets to be the one who decides and dictate who is worthy of being uplifted.

If she doesn’t get to be part of pulling the strings (and getting the benefits from doing so) she really doesn’t care much if at all.

Ended up having to head a meltdown off so casually walked up eating a bag of crisps nonchalantly saying the child’s name then asking ‘do you think ducks use toilet paper’

It worked but now I’m actually bothered about the question. Like… do ducks secretly use toilet paper.

The NPC’s you meet in Trespasser were great. I don’t think the player models were on the same quality sadly.

But player Qunari was very rushed, so was dwarf player.

Makes sense when it was inspired by England, right?

1090

you say this but compared to the other games people clocked that dwarves can preview mage in CC and they have animations and fitted armor. mayhaps…

We don’t know much about Antiva’s Circle, but Zevran and Wynne’s dialogue implies they’re similar:-

Zevran: In Antiva, the templars watch the Circle like a jealous husband guarding the chastity of a wanton bride.
Wynne: Interesting metaphor, but yes, it is not too different in Ferelden.

I hope not. Harding being an exception is fine but Rook having a mage option would probably detract from that special-ness a bit.

harding can use magic? did i miss something?

It’s a new development in DAVe, the reason for it we have yet to discover. iirc there’s a short video clip of her doing magic and going “???” at it in one of the trailers/previews, so she doesn’t know what’s going on either.

I blame Solas. It’s a safe bet.

1095

if solas has messed up the veil does that mean dwarves can find their way into the fade now?

iirc they don’t go to the fade when they dream which is somehow tied in with their inability to use magic? it’s been a while but i vaguely remember that being the lore in origins

1096

solas or whatever happened in descent

Kill all templars, liberate all mages, embrace elvhen heritage and drink from the well. Morrigan is a shemlen, that’s my magic puddle.

Yeah Dwarves in Dragon Age are incapable of using magic or (conventionally) going into the Fade and dream because they do not HAVE that connection

But it does make them also sorta resistant to magic as a tradeoff, iirc that’s a racial of theirs when you play DA:O/DA:I

maybe dwarves were the real templars all along
