@almostinsane99: What's there to like?

They're elf gypsies.

You know what I say? Get jobs like decent folks.

Racism ahoy!

We need human minstrals who wear fake ears and fake tattoos and dance around silly acting like bumbling fools and speaking gibberish.

I would laugh so hard at the chills. XD

I'm getting the feeling that some people don't like Dalish...

They're absolutely pathetic and obnoxious about it.

That's failure on two accounts.

I would find a sword Given to me by the Lady of the Lake, gather a group of knights, and Rename the Land Albion while raping the elfs to be part of the human genepool in full, then wipe out the leser races and use the power of chinese blasting powder to bury the darkspawn and the Dwarves.

Long Live Albion.

 This got me thinking and I wanted to make one on all races, but I noticed it just became way too much, so I'll just say what it would be like if I was a human or mage (elf or human).  

My first language isn't English, so that would explain miss spellings and incorrect grammar.


Human: If I was a human living in Thedas I probably live on a farm or a small village. Since I don’t like living in bigger cities in real life I really doubt I would like to live in a city. I would not be a rogue or a warrior, since I don’t like to fight. I however find daggers and bows fascinating and I do like to sneak up on people, so it would be more likely for me to be a rogue. However, I find the world of Thedas to be more dangerous than  the real world so I probably would have some knownledge on how to use a dagger or a bow. I would also not live alone, but live with my family. I probably would like to explore a lot, trying to find beautiful places that I could go back to. As for the places, I’m not so sure. All I know is that I wouldn’t feel comfortable in Ferelden with all the Mabari. (I have a fear of dogs) I however would be mostly pro-mage.



Mage: (Both human and elf) I would be a very bad mage. I don’t think I would like to be a mage either, to be honest. If I was a circle mage I would feel horrible most of the times. I love exploring and taking long walks, If I haven’t taken any walks on a long time, I get frustrated. Be7ing in the circle would make me very frustated. I’m also rather shy and I don’t like to be at places with many people. I also have a rather bad self-confidence, so I would probably think I was very bad at magic, and that would make me very depressed. If it would be like in Kirkwall, where I think the templar goes over the line, I would probably turn for blood magic for survival. Even though I know that it’s a very bad choice. I probably wouldn’t even pass the Harrowing since I’m rather gullible. I really doubt I would be a apostate. Biggest fear would be without a doubt, to be tranquil.

@Xilizhra: Honestly Xil, sometimes you're way overboard.

You actually used an ethnic slur... calling a fictional race "gypsies" isn't in any way shape or form a slur.

[Dayze]

Actually it is an ethnic slur, calling the Roma gypsies isn't that far from calling black people darkies.

Hmm... wait are you applying as to be one of my "employees" if so you would be wearing less than a robe. I believe in giving my clients a fair view in what they are purchasing. If you are asking as a "patron" It would only cost extra for the naughty mage, bad Templar scenario ... sheesh, different services different pricing. 

I assume the naughty mage and the torturer templar is quite popular on your menu, huh?


You're hiring actual mages to allow your clients to have the experience of being templars who otherwise could not pass their rigorous tests, huh?

Well I suppose I can give it a try. I'll be creative with my robes for when I stop by your brothal. I'm running low on coin anyways from being on the run for so long.

[Medhia Nox]

Dayze: And are all gypsies Romani?

[Senya]

Hmm.. I don't know if gypsy is a racial slur or not. It is used regularly and I haven't personally heard it used with malice? I even know a couple people who call themselves gypsies and attend Roma things a couple times a year.

[Medhia Nox]

@almostinsane99: it is not as much a slur as the term Xilizhra used, which is only a slur. A point was simply trying to be illustrated... albeit incorrectly.

This topic should move on to something less lockable.

*sighs* Xil.... I was totally kidding. Does everything have to be so serious?

@dragonflight288: Then find these little moochers an island and send them there. Isn't Par Vollen an island?

Not that I know of. I know Seheron is an island. But it is in Qunari control. Sending the Dalish there would be tantamount to having all their keepers and firsts having their tongues cut out and lip sewn shut, and their whole clans getting all personality forcibly removed.

Simply put, I think the Dalish are too self-righteous to convert to the Qun so that is what what happen in my opinion.

[aries1001]

I would probably by a scholar like Brother Genitivi studying old texts, learning new languages, old and extinct languages as well. I would also travel around the countryside to learn things, maybe even to the Dalish in order to learn some elven (dalish) words ans get to know their lore and stuff.
And I might even travel to Par Vollen to get the Qunari perspective on things...

If I couldn't be someone like Brother Genitivi, I would probably be someone either living with the mages in the Circle Tower or maybe just a farmer tending my crops with a wife and some children.

However, if I were someone like Brother Genitivi, I would be in search of the truth, no matter what the Chantry says. I would research and research and research untill I found out what happened in the Exalted Marches etc. And I know that I would have to be very careful if what I find would question the official version of the history that the Chantry teaches...

Sounds sweet. What happens when your history conflicts with Dalish history? I tried arguing with the history/sermon once in Origins and that didn't go well.

[aries1001]

@ almostinsane99

What's the history/sermon? Is it the history lesson you get when you first go to Dalish camp (if you're not a Dalish elf yourself?) I haven't tried this, because as mage I've learned (read) about the Dalish elves and their plight. And I thought not upsetting the Dalish would be the way to.

To answer your question:

See, first I would need to find out the Dalish history or maybe better, how the Dalish view their own history from their perspective. Then I need to find out the Chantry perspective on what happened. And then I would need to compare the two versions; and when they both agree on what happened (names, events and such) this would then be closest to to the truth. These would then be the facts. When I had established this, I would try to interpret the facts in the context in which they happened.

And I would think that say for the Exalted Marches, I'd try to have a clear mind and not try to blame either the Chantry or the (now) Dalish elves for what happened; however....as I remember it (I'm speaking as me now, not brother Genitivi), the Dales were given to the elves by a king of Ferelden as a thank you for their helping defeating a Blight. What happened after this is still shrouded in mystery, I find. There was an an Exalted March, yes, but who started it. (and by that I mean that the elves could have been provoked, the Chantry could have decided to do an Exalted March on the Dales etc. etc.)

As said, though, this would be me as Brother Genitivi (or someone similar to him) researching Dalish elven lore; to learn about their history as incomplete as it is - as of yet.


I, as somone similar to Brother Genitivi would also really like to undertake the very long travel to Orzammar to learn something (or everything!) from the Shaperate re: dwarfen history, not at least find out what (really) happened during the time of the first blight.

You're right on the money then. And it was Maferath who gifted the Dales to them if I recall World of Thedas correctly. I have my own theories about the Dales from comparing both versions.

I'd have felt more for him before he not only betrayed every Fereldan principle he ever fought for by trying to enslave the Alienage, but doing so for laughably stupid reasons that seem like post hoc justification, when he really just didn't care about them because they were elves.

Anyway, on this topic... what would admittedly be an interesting scenario is to be a Tal-Vashoth mage defecting to Tevinter, but that doesn't quite seem likely to be me as such... that, probably, is more akin to a scholarly Circle mage building up a simmering well of resentment against the templars. Or perhaps a Dalish one trying to add whatever magical lore I can find to our stores of knowledge in the hopes that it could build a stronger future Arlathan, even if it wasn't elven in origin.
