Diversity win! The cannibalistic dwarf reciting an ominous verse in the Deep Roads is a lesbian!

I have genuine sympathy for people who are trying to play Dragon Age: Origins but the game keeps crashing for them. It does make me wonder though if I have insane luck or if those folks just don't know about the Large Address Aware trick...? Because DA:O never crashes for me and I run it with 1 billion mods.

i'm sorry but the "da fandom is a little racist BUT veilguard holds most of the blame for making davrin so irrelevent in the game" excuse is the weakest shit i've ever heard. no actually i genuinely think this is almost exclusively a fandom issue. like i won't argue that the "davrin vs harding choice is reliant on assan" shit john epler pushed was unbelievably racist and i won't argue that there's merit to the fact that it was tone deaf at Best to have the black man's character arc so reliant on his animal companion but i'm sorry you cannot fucking convince me that the "knight in shining armor with a gentle heart and a cute animal companion that takes you out on picnic dates and carves you little wooden trinkets" character is not almost Perfectly Engineered to be the most popular romance option in any game ever and yes i fully believe the only reason he isn't is entirely hinged on the fact that he's black and no amount of whataboutism towards the devs can convince me otherwise

davrin is literally one of the better written characters he's a major driving force in like four main quests he's the companion from literally the most popular faction in the entire series i'm sorry I DON'T BELIEVE IT ISN'T RACISM I DON'T!

Considering the fact that at one point someone in the fandom tried to organize a huge, public "debate" on whether or not whitewashing mods are racist or "just personal preference", yeah. Yeah I'd say this is a fandom problem.

(I think there may have been one or two other points they wanted to talk about in there, and it never happened as far as I'm aware due to backlash, but it was just..... So exhausting because not only was that so, so, so terrible, this person was also willfully ignoring the y e a r s of conversation around the subject that had already happened. In the DA fandom specifically!!!!)

Being on dragon age side of Tumblr is seeing a post of "BioWare stop treating me like a child and over explaining things to me" and right below that is a post with the biggest reading comprehension failure you've seen in your entire LIFE

Welcome back.

We're doing "there is problematic age gap" and "I wish people were more racist towards my player character" discourse let's gooooooo

Absolutely incredible.

You can't even go "you should accept solas as a villain and love him anyway" because he just isn't a villain. He's just a bald guy. You should accept solas as a bald guy and love him anyway

Just remembered what he did to Elio in the podcast show and even that wasn't evil it was just funny. Because my friend Solas is a comedian first and foremost

He did that because he likes throwing rocks at old couples at the park and go "why should they be happy"
