Cool! I will have to send more references later as time zones and work

All I want to know is what happened to her when she went to Tevinter ;-; I know what happened to Wynne but what about our favorite Golem?

While it wasn't my favorite game (mostly due to the tone the game was setting and the sudden lack of political plotlines/world building) a lot of the crazier feedback it gets is used to silence legitimate critique. A shame it's getting perpetually worse. In 2 months people will calm... Hopefully.

Zevran still is my favorite character from the Origins series, I originally loved Alistair but as I got older the themes in Zevran's writing made me appreciate his journey more. He in part was why I was so excited for Lucanis and more Crow content.

In-game image of Fenris from Dragon Age 2. I'd objected strenuously to the art team's plan at changing the elves to a more "distinctive" appearance. Not that I opposed the idea in theory, but I thought they ended up looking too alien, and according to the lore elves were generally considered attractive. The art team mocked and dismissed me (quite literally, I'm afraid) and the rest of the team had bigger battles to fight. For Fenris, at least, he reached a point of being kinda sexy despite the change... so not all bad, I guess?

A piece of unused concept art for Fenris: bare-chested, quilted armor on the legs, giant sword on the back. I was looking through the Fenris concept art pieces online and saw this and thought "hey, this one actually looks pretty good... if you ignore the DA2 elves-are-barefoot thing". I want to say maybe this was a piece done for the cancelled expansion, for a potential Fenris model update?

A screenshot from one of the DA2 conversation scenes with Fenris, in the mansion he occupies during the game. He did a lot of drinking. I got accused, at one point, of glorifying alcoholism? I mean... I don't know if Fenris was an alcoholic, but if he was the bitterness of these scenes certainly doesn't feel like glorification to me.

CHARACTERS - DAY SIX: Fenris

Now, DA2 is a story all on its own but I'm not going to go there other than to sum it up as "we had just over a year and a half to make this". It's why I only wrote one follower, Fenris, and although it'll make his fans mad: I probably shouldn't have.

Let me explain.

My mother in Brisbane has a python that eats the possums who try to live in her ceiling.

You don't. You accept it, just as you accept the spiders.

It's easier to visit and stay in New Zealand as a Australian citizen too.

Fascinating. Explains why so much of the current dialogue in the newest game I find a bit undigestable.

Sketching my Rook, slowly but surely. New PC so still have to get a display cable to finish this as my new setup only has one HDMI plug...

Flemmeth was one of my favorites, even from her appearance in Stolen Throne, I wish we got to see her interact with the elves more, a lot of that nuance got lost later on.

Establishing a narrative in a book is always my preference, using those bridging pieces of media to set what has generally happened but allowing some player agency to fill the cracks.

Chosing a narrative and picking ones own within a set framework are both good vehicles for story telling. But the stories I have been able to tell myself through what was given to me, is power enough. its spurned dragonAGE ttrpg characters, etc. They both have strengths, but variety is great.

Ah, Kieran. So dapper! I had a moment of "but what if the Warden wasn't, you know..." because he's SO white, but the artists just went "shhhh shhhh it's maaaagic" and I had to admit they were correct. This whole sequence had already stretched the limits of our resources and then some.

The Old God soul is transferred! Only appears in one of the three versions, but such a magical moment.

Ah, yes, the (awkwardly animated) Dark Ritual scene. Why didn't we just fade to black? Or move the camera to look at the fireplace or something? I'll never know.

CHARACTERS - DAY TWO: Kieran

(Technically this is an addendum to yesterday, but I make the rules here so nyah!)

Heading into DAI, I had a bite-sized problem on my hands. I knew Morrigan would feature. I also knew we were importing previous choices. So now I had to contend with: the Old God Baby. 🧵

I think that is evident based on how we see Morrigan, after replaying Origins, you can see how friendship changes her perspective of life. In Stolen Throne, you can see how even Loghians duty and responsibility shifts based on his experience with Maric/Rowan. Good story-telling calls to real life. 😀
