Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ok I have read a good amount of the book Dragon age "The World of Thedas" and find that I don't like most of the places, customs and people of thedas. The only race I have a love and mostly respect for are the elves both dalish and city. I don't care for most humans and the dwarves are ok but again not my favorite. Tevintar and the way its run is ok I guess but what makes it so horrific is its past history and most of the people that live there(don't get me started on the marlyn mason fashion lol). I don't like the qunari or kossith as they are actually called and there religion and there view on life. If I were to live in thedas I most likely wouldn't be very religious at all but if I had to choose I would of course be an adrastian (however you spell it). I can't stand Orlais . The only places I would most likely live is fereldan, (antiva, kirkwall
I am sorry if I am come off as a troll it was not my intent, I was just venting. But really after reading the book I understand a lot of the characters and the world more. To quote fenris "if I seem bitter its not without cause". But really I also understand the main point of the plot for DA3 we really need to "Save the world from itself"

I dont hate rivain but i don't really care for it either, the only thing i like about it is the fact women rule. Religion aside I would prefer my body burned rather than mummified to prevent any spirits or demons possessing it afterward. Tevintar is run well and seems to keep order but the fact that they can be hypocrites about blood magic kinda makes me sick. I don't like the qun or qunari, i just cant bring myself to see anything positive about them or there religion. What I meant about not liking most humans, is because of what they did and are still doing to the elves, especially in tevintar. But regardless of what I feel about blood mage and those that use it, I can see the benefits to living in tevintar, only because of its freedoms how ever small it may be. But remember they collar there own kind and the only real way to move up the ranks in tevintar is to be a blood mage in secret. If we want to touch on religion as well they mock the chantry in some ways in tevintar.

I am a bit irritated about the lack of knowledge given about the dalish but really I care more for the city elves. I am lookin forward to another volume myself. I find myself wanting a wyvern lol

Maybe in the next game we will have the option to liberate the elves like andraste did before. that would be cool to be able to help them become equals instead of second class citizens. I still think blood magic is evil and don't care for the excuses blood mages come up with to using it, I mean every blood mage i have run into has weak explanations as to why they resorted to it. I just cant wait to hear the excuses the tevintars have *rolls eyes*.

yea i guess its the fact that i am a Aequitarian/Loyalist mage in both games and I have yet to find a good reason to make a blood mage. I mean in DA2 they give you a lot of items that boost blood magic like they want you to resort to it like you have a little devil on your shoulder saying *you know you want too, at least once". I mean from what I read in the book I really don't like blood magic, I just don't see the attraction. I can understand being attracted to the forbidden but seriously "just no".

Well I do think the whole circle thing wasn't working out anyway and was losing its affect cuz thrask said in DA2 mages were escaping all the time more than they could keep up with, but I think they should have just come up with something less restrictive but to where templars are still near by to take care of an mage that goes too far or becomes an abomination and to protect non-mages. I can understand popin off at someone in the game(if that's what you meant), a lot of the characters piss me off sometimes. It will be interesting on how bio-ware thinks to make peace between mages and templars cuz i don't see how you could, but ya never know.

Its fine and I agree, If we could do something like that, like talk the templars and the chantry and who ever else into an agreement like that I think everyone would benefit. I forget where I read it but I found information saying we were going to tevintar to rather help stop the fighting(make peace) or I guess join the fight idk. But regardless of how mages and non mages feel about each other, I think they need each other. The non-mages,templars and mages are like a tripod, kick one down and the rest eventually fall.

Well we are supposed to be saving the world form itself. Maybe the fight we are supposed to get in between or whatever is a fight between the qunari and the tevintar mages. What ever the case we might be going to tevintar to get a companion and some other reasons that i cant think of. I mean I know Cassandra and a warden and cullen are three of the companions we get why not a mage from tevintar. What I am thinking though is we are gonna get someone from each country like anderfells, ravian, the dales etc What do you think? cuz i doubt we get all of them form one place or places close together.
