a_driftamongopenstarsI love games with a deep and extensive lore. It’s never an easy task to populate a world with enough background to keep it going beyond a single game (or even a line up of several). And I know only a handful of such games, created either by a small studio or a larger one, that succeeded in creating a truly solid world.
Right now all my attention (well, most of it! :D) is in Dragon Age. I never got to finish either the Descent or the Jaws of Hakkon DLCs for Dragon Age Inquisition and I’ve just finally completed both. How. Damn. Amazing these additions are?? I’m always a sucker for lore, especially if it shakes the foundation of what we’ve come to know already. And it’s not a simple “let’s make a twist just for the sake of it”. It fits, it makes sense.
And I can’t help but think of my Inquisitor Theseus’ reaction to everything that he’s experienced, from learning about the source of lyrium to meeting the first Inquisitor, Ameridan. I can just imagine the trip back to Skyhold and Theseus’ baffled state, impossible admiration for facing someone so grand, lost to history. An elf, with dalish tattoos, 800 years old and a faithful member of the chantry - this is stunning. Theseus is stunned, I say! :D
