Dragon Age: Origins companions

Maker’s Breath and just Maker feel like the bare bone “Oh My God” and “God”. Yet like Makers Breath seems to be more when a character is exasperated? I mean I just flirted with Cullen and he has the whole “Maker’s Breath— Can we speak about something else line” which fitting in oh my god with the connotations we have is a little hard to see? But it feels like still the equivalent. People also say “maker help me” which does subbing in god into that sound more real world 😭

But then we see characters add more to Maker in certain bits. Like a quarter of Ohgren’s dialogue is an example of it, is it worse to say makers hairy balls? Is it all in the same vein?

Maker’s Breath = Maker’s Hairy Balls?

Is it unique to characters? (Polite, chantry raised Alistair and Cullen vs Ohgren and other cruder characters)

- noticing on someone’s reblog of this I forgot there’s also a vein in how characters also curse using andraste’s name! -

I speak Japanese and like there’s little curse words in the language and it just matters how you use the words and vocal tones. The meaning of “くそ” changes if you add more, direct it towards another person and how you say it. I was wondering if it’s sorta similar?

Anyways this was my yap sesh I was curious lowkey how other people possibly interpret the world specific cursing for humans/andrastian faith believers. Elven seems more easier as they focus on fen’harel predominantly and mention disgracing other gods in dialogue,, Dwarven also seems to be more “by the ancestors”.

No order. I’m not saying these are good characters, I’m just saying I like them. I’ll probably make another one.
