Today is the Lord Inquisitor Cadash and Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast day of @qunarianddwarves‘Adaar and Cadash appreciation month. I missed yesterday’s General Lord Cadash day (I’ll try to do better for Part 2), but at least I can post picture of my adorable nerds together. All the credits for those pictures go to @floatslikebricks,@askbroodyelf and @ladyreddarkness, who agreed to work on those comissions for me.
how many of us have disordered eating because buying food is too expensive? because prepared food it too expensive? because we don’t have the energy to feed ourselves? because we forget we need to eat? because sensory problems makes most food too hard? because food requires too much focus so we just forget about it?
so many of the war table missions should have been the actual “side” quests in the goddamn game instead of the fucking hunt and fetch quests that were literally meaningless and ate up hours of time for no reason :)))))))))))))))))))))
like varric’s copycat author mission? Zevran and the Crows? political intrigue and assassinations???????????? Maevaris and Tevinter???????????
where were the missions that actually mattered at fucking all in the fucking game omg
the war table reeks of “ooooh, i wish we could have had time to include that” and the actual game suffers immensely for it.
bc like, i’m sorry, three or four “actual” quests with cutscenes and dialogue and stuff that is interesting and feels like you’re making choices and playing a role-playing game is not enough
the side missions are just WoW gather quests. you don’t make decisions that affect the fucking game. the game will be the same no matter what you do or don’t do in the majority of those cases.
REMEMBER the fucking preview with Varric and the burning town? THAT was what I was expecting. We were supposed to be making decisions about where to send our soldiers, what to protect, what to emphasize. We were supposed to be affecting the world with our decisions. People were supposed to care what we were doing, and we were supposed to see the effects of it firsthand.
and instead, a TON of really meaty, interesting choices and character interactions are hidden behind blocks of text and HOURS of waiting, so that they feel meaningless and distant and completely ineffectual? the only reason I’m even SEEING some of them now is because I installed a mod that turns off the wait time. Today was literally the first time I’ve ever seen Zevran’s interaction, bc i didn’t have the patience for the war table and none of it really felt important at all.
even though the words say stuff happened, i don’t feel like anything changed. nothing makes that real to me. God, the Dalish Inquisitor’s whole clan can die, and it would just be a fucking note in a codex entry somewhere.
this is absurd. this game is a fucking joke. it’s weak ideas and weaker plot held together by a weak string of unrelated missions that don’t connect at all, leading up to a weak villain and a weak end fight.
they had ideas that would make the game feel real, layered, complete. and then they banished them into a meaningless series of text posts that people barely read before clicking on their favorite adviser.
i hate the trope of kids giving their favorite stuffed animal to a younger child as a sign of compassion and coming of age, as if this is something that should be expected of kids as they grow up
im 22 and i dont care who you are you’ll have to pry my ikea shark out of my cold dead hands
i think a more interesting question than “when did you ‘join’ the internet” is “what was the first username you ever used”
my very first ever username (that i remember) was HunterKiller75 cause i thought starcraft was the coolest shit in elementary school & hydralisks were my fav unit, and 75 was my fav number
