I certainly don't disagree that Lavellan's closer to the problem than Dorian. The Dalish are hardly living in Hightown with servants and fainting couches, after all. I just thought the conversation itself was well done because it points up not only the privilege that Dorian enjoys (even having left his father's house where is he? In a keep, eating well, getting stylish new clothes every few weeks, and generally living it up) but that Lavellan doesn't really have a good argument against his points because she has no real idea how life in an Alienage is.
For all she knows, the tales of poverty and disease are just propaganda and Alienages are filled with happy families and successful businesses that Tevinter lies about to make them feel better about slavery. Well, unless she talks to Michel or Briala (off-camera).
Oooh! Okay!
Yeah, that's a fair assessment. I would argue that Lavellan could have slightly more of an idea since her clan traded with human settlements her whole life, and so she could have witnessed or gotten some firsthand accounts of city elf second-class citizenry, but you do make a fair point that Lavellan has not necessarily experienced slavery or second-class citizenry firsthand either (unless the player wants to headcanon that they joined the Dalish as a child--but that's headcanon), so she doesn't have that great of a counter-argument.
I remember the first time Dorian and Lavellan had the slave talk, my first reaction was, "Well, in my experience in the alienage--oh right, she's Dalish."
Retour en haut
So rude of BioWare to give us Orsino, the Illusive Man, and a certain silver fox in Jaws of Hakkon--and not let us tap ANY of them
