So, Shakespeare’s impact on modern culture is felt by basically everyone.
Even if you’ve never seen ‘Romeo And Juliet’ performed, you’ve probably seen a tv episode using it’s general plot.
Or seen West Side Story.
So, how does that work for Thedas, where, as far as we know, Shakespeare doesn’t exist?
Does he exist and we’ve just not heard of him?
Or are his works just…not there?
Maybe he has a Thedosian equivalent? I wouldn’t really think that Shakespeare himself would be included in Thedas, but it wouldn’t be a stretch to think that there’s probably a really popular playwright somewhere around. Or maybe even…a popular author…who publishes several books…that are well known in many countries…oh my god.
HOLY SHIT.
Nah, because Shakespeare was a bit if a hack who wrote for money, his works were basically just dick jokes…that even royalty loved…whose works were given too much importance…After the fact….oh no
What have you done
Sweet Maker, now I really need to see a fully staged production of “All This Shit Is Weird.”
I love how Jim is just a generic character model that they don’t even care if they re-use in the same scene.
Like this one for example:
Jim 1 waits with a clip board while Jim 2 takes orders.
Jim 2 leaves.
Only for Jim 3 to immediately approach from another direction with a new message.
And even after Jim 3 leaves, Jim 1 is still waiting there, trying halfheartedly to get Cullen’s attention.
The Jimquisition, everybody.
I like to pretend that all of Cullen’s underlings are like the Nurse Joys of Thedas, where they all look the same and like Brock, only Cullen can tell them all apart.
“No, Inquisitor, it’s easy! Jim 14 wears a badge made of everite instead of dawnstone and Jim 37 is left-handed. See?”
