Tumblr will tumblr. I admit, I thought it was a little bit cheap, the bit about turning mage children out into the wilderness. A people that's barely hanging on population-wise would give up some of its most talented young? No, I don't buy it. I think it was added to cut off the objection that the Dalish handle magic better than the Circle.
For the rest of the revelations, I like it because it's closer to how actual history works. We don't realize how little we actually *know* about history. Turn over one stone and everything you think you know could change. This is how the real world works, so it's how good storytelling should work, if it's executed well.
And I'm really happy that they're developing the elven lore and not just letting the elves be background color. I was about ready to give up on the series but that brought me back.
Yeah, I don't like it when they add in game-changing tid bits like that because it tends to make me disengage - instead of thinking "oh, gee, that's a lousy thing for the dalish to do", I think "hmm, Bioware must want to even out the two sides of the argument here". Because really, we should have already known about that particular Dalish proclivity earlier if it was going to be a thing - as it is, it's sort of immersion breaking.
Retour en haut
It was the first playthrough and I can't devote passion to other LI anymore. My friend had better luck, she romanced Cullen first.

Here's hoping they end up releasing that Bioware-approved vallaslin chart. That would be AWESOME.
