Sector 7G

A thrilling tale of drama, deceipt and horror, but with a happy ending.

it's so desperate, and you understand this panic, you feel it. you have to figure out everything while being attacked so suddenly, and to protect people, and here is a man or a boy at the gates, and this is such a good way to present a new companion, when you don't have a breath or moment to figure out more. there are other things that matter.

and you see a fucking dragon. you're attacked by what seems to be an archdemon!

and then you meet this absolute threat that is the elder one (before they make him ridiculously non-present in the rest of the game). and you have to face him alone, and people are leaving. then there's a physical damage (i think the quiz has to have at least a misplaced shoulder, concussion and several broken ribs).

then the future inquisitor is all by themself. it's night, and it's freezing cold, and your people are far away. the scene with the inquisitor finding their path through the snow is my favourite in the whole main game. it's so lonely and desperate and dire just as the rest of the quest. the quiz has to process so much, but not to stop.

this quest lets you feel this imbalance of power, that not everything is served on a silver platter for the main character and nets them 10000 of influence. it throws this realization in the player's face, that the inquisitor is weaker, that their people are weaker. the inquisition has to claw away their lives. their salvation is just a sheer luck.

truly remarkable

I’m nonetheless impressed how someone saw that thing and concluded it’s good enough to go public, rather than bury it on the studio’s archives.

Dwarven women do tend to get a particularly short (hah) end of the suspicious dimorphism stick, don’t they? Remember the loli ones?

There’s absolutely no reason for a dwarf lady NOT to be badass, cute, stout and have facial hair, all at the same time.

Good thing that artists like Sophie Campbell exist. @luccorvus doing the gods’ work here too! I only wish creatives like them were actually given control over character design in some big mainstream project. And that they didn’t have to pander to some aggressively cishetero marketing specialist who can’t handle fat, muscles and whiskers on a fictional fantasy woman, let alone a real one. Even in case of Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon, Namari might be beardless but actually looks like the same species as the male dwarf. 

Don’t be a coward, make dwarves look like dwarves, regardless of gender!
