I mean DA makes us seem like the real blight. We conquer, pillage, rape and in the case elves, literally bring physical pollution. Most of all, in our appetite for power and exploitation we blew up heaven and unleashed a force out to destroy everything. Sure, elves and dwarves are bad too. Zathrian cursed humans and the dwarves turned their poor into golems, but it was because of bad things we did or to fight off problems we created. I know all fantasy likes to offer some social commentary on the real world, but the whole human bashing thing is starting to get cliched. I, for one, would like a more complicated story behind how the blight really started and the DA world turn the way it is, why doesn't rely on overly used tropes like making oppressed groups look like native Americans, Jews etc and humans racist parasites.

A human can be good.

Humanity as a whole is pretty screwed.

I thought that was a given. Thankfully none of our races get off easy on this front.
