Orsino’s death is bullshit and Varric just made it up to protect him from the Chantry, pass it on
okay but i actually really love this because the Orsino boss fight is literally recycled from an old Origins DLC, like even the model of the head monster at the end is the exact same 3D mesh?
so honestly what happened is Anders told Varric about this freaky-ass monster the Hero of Ferelden once fought and V is drunk off his ass yellin “BADASS THAT’S SO FUCKING METAL!!11 IMMA PUT IT IN A BOOK (falls over)”
and then months later they’re in some backwater inn somewhere on the run from the law and Anders is reading Tale of the Champion and gets to the end and just bursts out laughing so hard ale comes out his nose, and Orsino’s just pounding his back to keep him from choking while yelling “WHAT! WHAT’S SO FUNNY. ANDERS WHAT DID HE DO”
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.”
