Does anyone else really hate the way 'Brosca' sounds? I'm wondering if they gave the DC a less pleasant sounding name than Aeducan because of the fact that they're casteless or if they just randomly picked something.

lolwat?

So you like the name Brosca? I just know that I think the two best-off origins (Cousland and Aeducan) had better-sounding last names than the two worst-off ones (Tabris and Brosca) and was wondering what other people thought.  

[Herr Uhl]

Not really.

[soignee]

I like the name Brosca >.> Braw-ska!

[Gilsa]

I actually think Brosca sounds badass while Aeducan can lean towards pretentious. A-douche-can.



Don't get me wrong -- I like both names just fine. Imagine Brosca and Aeducan in a boxing ring and the fans are chanting the names. Brosca rolls off the tongue better.

[Sarah1281]

It's like those two sound rougher and more in line with their origins versus the more refined noble names.

[soignee]

I got this mental image of my Aeducan and my Brosca going at it in a boxing ring now, thanks Gilsa!



...I'm trying to work out who would win.

[BigBad]

I like Brosca fine. It's not quite as badass-sounding as Aeducan, but it's a perfectly servicable name. Never really thought of it more than that, since I can't recall anyone ever actually saying Brosca out loud in dialogue.

Well that's just it. Brosca sounds like a thuggish name and like someone who could kick your ass and nobles are often pretentious.

Sarah this entire conversation line has made me headtilt, not going to lie.

[Herr Uhl]

Btw, is Brosca supposed to be pronounced with an a-ish o? Brahsca.

Oh, I'm just trying to figure out why I can't stand to play a DC despite my love for dwarves. I think so far I've come up with: the brand, everyone treats you like crap, Rica's new position still sucks, Leske is a moron, the mother is an abusive ****, you start off as a thug, Rica has to be a ****, Rica has bad things to say about the DN, Bhelen's condescension is more annoying than his insults to his sister, people are still wary of you for being casteless, I hate the name Brosca...

Edit: Oh, and rags-to-riches stories are overdone. Plus I  Orzammar but playing a DC makes me resent it.

'Tis one of the good things about DSC. The whole palace district is held by him, Kardol, Sten, Qunari Mercenaries ( I counted four of them ), and about one hundred Dwarven Soldiers, Crossbowmen, Legionaries and Eight Golems. Fighting Alistair and his Werewolves is ****** easy compared to fighting through the Palace District.

Bad ass to the end.

The whole point is the the caste system=fail, why would you love it?

And Missa is certainly no rags to riches story! Rags to rags, to possible rage then maybe some riches then rags, then... Ah, you see what I mean.

[Sarah1281]

Wait, so this makes you kill Kylon, Gorim, Kardol, AND Teagan? Why did anyone buy this?!?!

Heh. Most of the reasons you dislike the DC are exactly the reasons I love it. Sure, there's the rags-to-riches bit and that is pretty satisfying in a wish-fulfillment kinda way, but I just like the hopelessness and oppression of that background. Discrimination, poverty, crime, abuse, the very real threat of starving to death or being killed for any reason or no reason at all, being forced to do horrible or demeaning things to survive. Those things are compelling to me, they lend a certain air to my character. It's not a fall from grace (which has also been done to death just as much as rags-to-riches); even being tasked with defeating the Blight, risking life and limb for no promised reward, is an upgrade from his previous life.

As always, your milage may vary, but as much as I'm enjoying Vidar, DC will always be my favorite.

It might be 'deeper' to have everyone hate you but it's not fun and everyone lists rags-to-riches/Cinderella story as a reason it's such a fun playthrough.

*ponders getting it now*

But I would have to kill Sten .

'Tis funny that's why. 


But seriously. it makes em look more bad ass when it's hard to kill them. Teagan is a hell of a fight on Nightmare, Kardol fights with about 2 Golems and Legionnaires at his side. 

Sten is a relatively easy, unless you count the golems and balistas he has with him.

For me it's about finding self worth and realising you're not a piece of crap everyone said you were. If that's rags to riches, then I'll gladly list that.

I should be writing now, why can't I write? *procrastinates sadly*

Keeping in mind that he is a cripple at this point, how hard is it to kill Gorim? 

[Costin_Razvan]

He is a white NPC, so it's easy.

That said, he is the only civilian who stands and fight. So he get's bad ass points for that.

Gorim is a cripple. Of course he isn't hard, otherwise he would have followed you.

Trying to prove that is so disheartening, though. Alistair physically had to prevent my DC from running away to Orlais out of apathy and she ended up pretty much hating everyone because she resented being forced into saving a world she didn't give a **** about and that didn't give a **** about her. Needless to say, that was not a playthrough I liked. At all. And having to kill all those people I'd rather have spared for the sake of the RP...
