Are all Orlesians chevaliers? Are you going to put all Oriesians into one bag with Chevaliers? And are you really going to claim that the Winter Palace is portraying them as all nice and good, when everybody keeps complaining about?

 

Plus, the only time something good has been said about Chevaliers was when Cullen said that they were god fighters. Everywhere else we don't really see them being painted in good light. They support Gaspard, which is arguably the worst candidate to Orlesian Throne, and the one Chevalier we see (aside from Michel and the few we see huddled behind safety of walls on Exalted Plains) is a naked dude on Celene's bed that betrayed Gaspard for a night with the Empress

 

Also - why don't you mention that Qun "acceptance" of transgender people is basically when the Qunari deny that the female warrior is a female? How Bull's arc is basically getting himself weaned off terrible ideology of the Qun and becoming Tal-Vashoth - or staying with Qun and betraying Inquisition in trespasser, where Viddasala reveals that they've been planning to sneak-bomb Southern leadership in preparation for invasion they've been planning for years? 

 

It was nothing than a pure display of Qunari insane troll logic.

 

Another thing - I'm not sure why it's a problem for you that there are positive things to say about Tevinter. For me it's a good thing that they're just not a nation of mustache-twirling villains. And that's despte the fact thatit's the Vints after all that are major enemies in DAI - a bunch of crazy supremacists Dorian tells a great portion of Tevinter nobility would silently support. Even some of the "good Vints" are shown to err or are driven by desperation to do terrible things (Alexius basically destroyed the world we see in future Redcliffe).

 

Compared to Orlesians, Vints and Qunari the Dalish were not even half as much as "crapped on", nor continue to be as "crapped on". 

It's not a moral issue alone, it's also an issue of power. Namely, that Orlais gets to remain in power despite its myriad sins, and we're forced to support it.

So your idea of positive change requires for a nation you dislike or find a great problem with to fall? Instead of change or something? Like, you know, happened to great many nations IRL, with many of them dealing throughout their history with issues as bad as slavery, expansionism or downright genocide?

 

Seriously, this is getting bizarre. At this point it appears you'd be not happy with the way story goes unless all human nations and their faith crash and burn and elves would be elevated in their stead, to reign supreme   Which, if you asked me, is totally NOT the way to go, morally or whatnot. Two wrongs don't make a right.

 

... Add to that the fact that the story ain't yet over. We know that even Inquisition's story ain't yet over.

Yesterday I got a cortisone injection into my foot.  That was fun.

 

It rained today.

 

How's everyone else?

 

Also, I like Solas.

Today I went to the dentist for a deep cleaning and laser treatment. My face is sore and numb.

 

I want cookies. Can't have them. Numb in the face and all that. 

 

How goes it?

Do you think that Orlais would actually change significantly in the near future?

Aww, that sucks.  Ice cream?

 

I think Solas would like ice cream.  He likes frilly cakes, after all.

I got to go to the farm yesterday and got a picture of part of a white elk. XD

 

It is raining like heck today. I'm doing laundry.

 

I'm also browsing the forums and rolling my eyes and laughing as usual.

 

I like Solas as well.

Today I studied to redo an exam that the teacher had corrected in a... very interesting way.

 

Also, I'm spending this week at my parent's house and suffering serious gaming-withdrawal. 

 

What's up peeps? 

 

Oh, so I'm not the only one liking Solas? Cool.

[midnight tea]

In the near future? No. Changes are usually gradual and take their time. With that I actually agree with Celene.

 

With that said we are talking about the world where massive revelation chases a massive revelation abut the world or its nature or history or possible future and more than a few curious individuals (Sandal, Flemeth) keep talking about a dawn of the new age - a new age Inquisitor was the herald of, btw. So I predict that soon the entire known Thedas will likely face a moment where it will have to change, significantly, even if to survive. 

 

I'm not sure it'd end human nations or kingdoms however. We can't tell now how that change is really going to look like. Are we talking about a massive shift in everything, including structure of reality? Or more like Thedosian Age of Aquarius?

[LobselVith8]

Well, given how the Game has continued despite Drakon's attempts to abolish it, and how Orlais remains an imperial power of conquest (as we see, historically, with the occupations of Kirkwall, Nevarra, and Ferelden - and even with the recent attempts to take control of Ferelden by Celene and Gaspard in their own respective ways), I'm doubtful that it will change significantly.

Oooh, did you follow it?  White stags are supposed to lead you on quests after all.  I'm not too sure about white elk though.  Probably best you didn't follow it, might have put you on a quest to end the world.  But, really who would want to end the world, right?  That's just silly!  Hahaha ... haha .. ha ..   =x

I would have, at least to have gotten a picture of its pretty horns, too, but I think that the people driving the tram would have gotten incensed. Also there are bison and large cattle roaming about, and lots of crabby Canada Geese.

 

Spoiler

 

It's probably for the best I stayed seated.

 

Solas would probably gone for the photo, though    (and been swiftly kicked out).

I think he'd be down for a bit of ice cream, as long as it isn't green tea flavored.

Why are you prejudiced against tea  !? This is an outrage!

PW says the caffeine keeps him up, but c'mon there is herbal tea, you gotta see the light Solas.

Tea?!  Bah!  I can only stand hot tea with copious amounts of sugar.  I don't drink coffee at all, that's even worse.  And yes, I know I'm about to be stoned to death for saying that lol.

 

I bet Solas would hate coffee more than tea!

[dawnstone]

I know right? The writers are so prejudiced against tea, too! It's treated so unfairly! I don't know why they still have their jobs.

I'm with Solas on this one!

 

[Nimlowyn]

So going back to frilly cakes, since he seems to be kicking into high gear on the Din'anshiral, has Solas reached the end of cake? 

[midnight tea]

... Actually, chocolate does contain certain amounts of caffeine, so I'm not sure Solas would be a chocolate connoisseur ;P

Indeed, he has almost reached the end of cake! If someone doesn't stop him, most of Thedas may reach the end of cake, or at least a very uncomfortable brownie batter sundae.

Not true, the writers treat all beverages as equally flawed! Remember Hawke and the gang complaining about the ale at the Hanged Man? So you are totally wrong!

Because Bioware Writer is not the only species that feeds on tears?

What are you going to tell me next, that chocolate is not a veggie? Because I know chocolate is totally made from beans! Cocoa beans! That makes it healthy!
