Bioware went out of their way to show the elven gods were nothing but an pipe dream. I don't see why Andraste would be an exception.

Sure you can keep on believing it. It's not like it's going to be explicitly confirmed. But it's clear that evidence points to one being right over the other.

theres equal weight for both

That you would know my mother tongue, I am impressed.

By your mastery of it, less so.

 

At any rate, if one looks at these coincidences and wishes to see a story of Andraste as Dumat, one can do so. If one does not wish to, they can be easily swept aside. Cailan's armor has the same draconic decorations and he is no faithful of Dumat, for instance.

How?

All I've read about Andraste is she killed a bunch of mages good.

I'm not sure I believe that since believing Solas about them not being gods is a bit like believing Lucifer talking about God.

Oh, c'mon. If you really want to talk about writer and dev intent, I imagine it went something like this:

"The armor of the First Warden is in Ferelden because you are a Warden in Ferelden and we wanted to give you the armor of the most badass Warden ever. It has a dragon in the chest because this is Dragon Age, Cailan's armor was already modeled, all we had to do was make it red and black to make it different and even cooler."

I don't know; Al Pacino was pretty convincing in his condemnation of God.

True but the Codexes aren't exactly definitive either.

Personally, I found the idea Andraste wasn't a virginal priestess girl but a married woman with children to be refreshing.

 

Well, I never thought she was a virginal priestess since she had two husbands, and was married to Maferath before she apparently became the Divine Bride.

Fair enough. However when I say The Hero of Ayesleigh worshiped Dumat I'm not going by aesthetics, but the item description.

 

Welp, I actually found an hole in your theory. Because if Andraste was an OGB, her mother could only have learned it from Flemeth right? But I just looked it up, Flemeth was born during thr tower age, two ages after Andraste demise.

Who is to say that Flemeth is the only mage in existence that knows the ritual? Flemeth most likely was told about it from Mythal. That would add more supporting evidence to the idea that Andraste also spoke to mythal at one point.

I personally feel that playing a mage feels more 'right', especially as a human.

I definitely feel like something is missing when i play non-mages in any DA game. They aren't just fireball-slinging nerds like in the most fantasy settings.

For a Brazilian raised in the States and who's never so much as opened a grade school Portuguese book in my life, I think I do just fine. Admittedly, improvement is not something to scoff at.

I meant no offence. Still, I must ask if that was a coincidence.

 

Really, the most glaring flaw is "em quanto" when it should be "enquanto".

 

Also, I was unware of anything indicating the Warden who wore that armor worshipped Dumat. Even now, all I can find on the wiki is how the armor was lost after the battle.

Not that I see that making much difference. Dumat was the most importante god of the Tevinter pantheon. A great many people worshipped him at the time.

 

[raging_monkey]

The Ritual could have easily existed before Flemeth.

it could be

Spoiler

a creation of the elves specifically mythal

[katerinafm]

I didn't feel like being a mage impacted the main story that much and made it more special (unlike playing as a mage in DA2) but there are a lot of cool dialogue options about being a mage, etc.

[iheartbob]

I had a lot of dialog options as a dalish mage in my first play through and considerably fewer as a human rogue.

 

I have a female human mage planned for my next play through and definitely have the whole "following in Andraste's footsteps" thing in mind for that character. She will even be romancing Cullen to add to the meta lol, only this time her Commander will not betray her.

 

I will also add that playing as a rift mage the first time around seemed like the most appropriate mage specialization option for role playing purposes.

[Valerius]

Siding with and disbanding the Templars as a mage is much more fulfilling tbh.

Wouldn't it also be interesting to play as a mage who allys the templars in order to extend an olive branch so to speak? By freeing the templars from the corruption and showing them at mages can be a good influence in the world, I believe that would be the best way to restore peace between the 2 warring factions

[Cypher0020]

my 1st run was an elf mage who got Cullen, chose the Templars

 

best way to finish the game ever 

[The Ascendant]

Elves make the best mages I find. Special dialogue, bonus attributes etc.

[Cypher0020]

Yeah I was gonna roll another mage.... save for Hawke, never once beat any of the games as a human

 

So..... human or elf mage..... hmmmmmm
