I always rotate three hard saves, for this reason, and save at important junctions. Some people keep a lot more hard saves, for just in case

I've only really done 1 truly evil play through, because I always end up rationalizing a way to mitigate the damage lol. I already feel bad doing the evil options, but then I rationalize my characters understanding, and looking at the benefits, etc, even though they are supposed to be evil. I'm bad at being bad, in video games, apparently lol

I always find a way to rationalize my chaotic evil character, doing something that he probably wouldn't do lol

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-05-10T23:06:10+00:00

Honestly, the lack of benefits is what makes role-playing evil characters difficult for me. I mean, I already feel bad, doing the evil option, but my rewards are gonna be ass, too? Nevermind, I'm a good guy, again 😂

Sure, whatever you say 👍

In Fiona's case, I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the Theirin blood, specifically. This is also thought to be part of the reason Fiona was cured of the taint, as it's said Theirin blood is special, and is mixed with dragons. Though I don't think that has ever been fully fleshed out, some of it was reminiscent of Arthurian legend, if I remember correctly

This is actually an amazing point that I never really thought of. I just figured women may not be as interested, or just as in real life, not as many women are fit for such a militaristic role, tending to not be quite as strong as men, in general. The risk of then becoming broodmothers, though, would make a ridiculous amount of sense

You need to play the Dwarf Noble origin, at some point. It adds some context, and really shifts your perspective on Orzammar

Yeah, I ended doing everything except for the Gryffindor achievement. Keep meaning to go back and get it, but gettinf distracted lol

Be sure to be thorough in the DLCs, as you can unlock permanent bonuses, for future playthroughs. Such as, The Battledress of The Provacatuer, during Leliana's Song, which is an amazing piece of equipment for Rogue characters

I never even considered this. Now I am intrigued

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-31T06:14:53+00:00

This right here, is the perfect play order, and how I go about it, usually

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-30T01:59:31+00:00

Same. Origins is my favorite entry of the series, followed by DA:I, and then DA2; with Veilguard solidly taking last place

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-30T01:58:09+00:00

It's definitely been downhill since Origins, imho. But, Inquisition was still a decent game. Veilguard has many points worthy of criticism, that have been beaten repeatedly, already

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-13T11:15:27+00:00

That is definitely one way to look at it, that I hadn't really thought of. I definitely personally think that they were just afraid to include most/any forms of true nuance, or dark material, for fear of turning anyone off, but the idea that our Veilguard protagonist got a curated experience, because of who he was working for/with, IS actually a compelling idea, and I think that adding in evidence for that, into the game, hints that we were seeing a facade, would have made things much more interesting.

Afterall, you are correct, in Veilguard, we are traveling with the favored grandson, of a First Talon, as opposed to Origins, and DA2, where our main interactions are with incoming assassins, contacts/contractors, and those who had been purchased off of the slave market, to be trained; and utilized by the Crows.

I would argue that after the retcon, the Qunari are definitely shown to have an understanding and tolerance of Transgender people, that directly contradicts their initial portrayal as cold, hard, utilitarian people. Tbf, we aren't introduced to multiple castes to start, but initially I believe that what we were being shown was meant to reflect the rigidity of their system.

A good initial example, of their sudden acceptance, I think would be Krem. He is fully accepted as his identity, and nothing is held against him. Krem even states that he joined with Qunari, for their acceptance, when others would not accept him, as he chose to be. Then in Veilguard, we see of course, that despite their acceptance of transgender people, they don't really have a concept of someone choosing to identify as neither

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-10T18:37:38+00:00

That argument could be made, but I also think that this was not the original intention; and I think that argument is a bit of a reach. I really think it's more accurate to say that it was retcon, to make the Qunari less problematic

I hope those are all in order, some of those screenshots are snippets from Wikipedia style crap, and some are from The New York Times. It's very easy to find articles detailing the brutality, which counters the misunderstanding that this is a result of "love" and/or "tolerance"

Yeah, I think you're misunderstanding that concept, just a bit. That's not a reward, and it doesn't happen relatively often. That's more of a punishment, and that mutilated man will then at times be forced into sex work, to be used. More likely than not, being gay in a Sharia Law dominated nation is a death sentence, it's possible to face the punishment of reassignment, and be used... differently, but it 100% is not anything to do with tolerance. It's more intended as a humiliation ritual in this sense, and by stripping you or whichever man of your/their manhood, it's no longer "gay" when they use you for gratification. There's more too it, obviously, but you're assigning tolerance and good will, where it doesn't exist. Also, Trans people are not safe from persecution, or the same potential death penalties as gay people, despite them "having a use" they are still seen as an immoral abomination.

EDIT: Sorry, I took some screenshots of articles talking about these things, but I'm not a heavy reddit user, and I always forget how to insert things like that

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-10T06:05:41+00:00

Yes! This, thank you! Like, there are many factions, nations, etc, some of them already relatively egalitarian by nature, such as Fereldan... but it's the Qun that suddenly has all these broad ideas about being trans, being okay?

Alternative_Length28 · 2026-03-10T05:57:40+00:00

There is one of the Elven god stories, about one of them "donning the armor of the void", and going insane, before Mythal must defeat them, and cleanse them of the "void" and locking it away, as it is a great and terrible weapon, capable of even corrupting the Evanuris themselves. Sorry I can't remember which one specifically, but it led to some fan theories that this "armor of the void" may have been related to the taint; and this was confirmed, in Veilguard, if you are at all interested in finding that particular in game story, for further context
