#da commentary

so i want to talk about how like………. the city of kirkwall is a gigantic human transmutation glyph that was built for the sole purpose of sacrificing thousands of slaves PER YEAR in mysterious ritualistic blood magic rites for CENTURIES.

Thomas is “running things” in “Carson’s office” ? No... that’s Thomas’ office

send me a tv show/book/fandom and i’ll say the top 5 things i’d change about it

i’d rework some of the pacing of act 3, i think that was the act that “felt” the strangest because you only meet meredith and orsino in the finale of act 2 and suddenly they’re both the villains. i think the plot could be smoothened out on the whole: it feels weird that for acts 1 and 2 the “baddies” are qunari, and after the arishok is dealt with, suddenly the real villains were two people we met who helped us deal with him?

i’m a hypocrite bc i rme every time other people criticize the maps, but knowing their dev schedule was apparently shorter than normal, i wish they’d had more time to make each map unique, or at least the kirkwall map more complex. it’s described as a maze or labyrinth……

there are some red hawke options that i think are so…… they cross the line of being blunt/rude to plain cruel imo, like giving fenris to danarius/letting meredith kill bethany. for the sake of rpg, i understand why they’re there – player choice – but i can’t help but feel they’re wildly ooc for hawke no matter how much you may not have liked the companion

i always wondered why the templars let mage!hawke wander around in act 2, bc act1 made sense if they’re trying to keep a low profile and by act 3 they’re champion. but in act 2 if hawke has been red/reckless enough, maybe a sub-plot where they’re taken to the gallows, meet meredith, blah blah, then break out – they could see the kirkwall circle up close so that way anders’ warnings of how bad things are in the circle would come with proof even the most anti-mage people couldn’t deny.
