"It's odd for a Dalish elf to care about other races but you won't get any backtalk here.  That's a promise."

 

 

-_-

 

Seriously Harding?  YOU JUST BACKTALKED.  Like a bigot no less.  This almost reminds me of that cutscene with Solas if you're playing as a Qunari Inquisitor.  Can someone tell me why people want to romance this two-faced dwarf so badly again?

She's not wrong.

Dalish people often are very anti-social to say the least. It's a simple fact.

I'm actually starting to think the Batarians are a good analog to the Dalish.

Another to be caught by Scoia'tael. The Dalish want to keep their culture alive, to mix with other would not be a good idea...

It is a bit odd if you consider that the Dalish could have helped save Ferelden during the Fifth Blight, and Merrill could be a prominent figure in Kirkwall. It's poorly worded dialogue (or maybe reflective of Andrastian ignorance about the Dalish), but she is empathetic when the elven Inquisitor solemnly says the Dalish mantra in the Dales, reminiscing over the lives lost generations ago.

Against whom? The human lords attacking them if they stay too long in one region? The lynch mobs? The Andrastian fanatics threatening them with violence to convert? The templars hunting them for their mages? Harding's comment lacks context, and it was a poor choice of words.

Individual Dalish may be more altruistic.  But as a people, they are quite isolationist.  And are becoming increasingly so, even to other Dalish clans, it seems.

All the 'Wow an elf, weird!' stuff did feel a bit off for me, because in my canon there's a monument dedicated to another particular Dalish Elf just a few minutes away. Hmm. :S

The clans only meet during the Arlathvenn due to the dangers faced by the Dalish; being nomadic is a means of survival, as Merrill explains.

They might have a reason, sure, and a good one at that, but the fact remains - as a group they only care about the People and tend not to give a damn about other races. So Harding's it is right, it is odd, not impossible or unbelievable, but certainly unusual.

Its not backtalk if she's not replying to you.

My Dalish was thinking "oooh ouch" when she heard that.

Oh, I wasn't talking about history and politics but merely how they interact with outsiders. People.

Not factions, not religion, not countries, just ordinary face to face socializing between one person and the next. P-e-o-p-l-e.

The comment is even more amusing considering it comes from a dwarf. Sure, the dwarves aren't as bad as the Dalish (though that's debatable) but dwarves are nearly as isolationist in the sense of segregating themselves off as the Dalish--including the surface dwarves. They'll mix with humans as it regards commerce, but other than that, I don't think the average dwarf gives a flip about humans or elves.

Id say the Dalish are more like the Quarian's tbh, both started a war that they lost badly & then spent the following centuries whining about their loss with a "feel sorry for me" attitude

By now you should know that all races in Thedas are arrogant, prejudiced, violent morons.

Except the inception of the war wasn't one-sided, which is why Keeper Hawen and his clan admit they were wrong.

And the Dalish live a life of hardship in order to maintain their religious beliefs and cultural traditions. They aren't asking others to feel sorry for them; even their mantra is: "Never again shall we submit".

Especially when a Dalish warden saved that same bloody area, like 3 times not 10 years ago...

The actual start of the war was quite one-sided, but that's because we can easily isolate acts of war. These discussions confuse blame with the political background with the immediate violation of sovereignty that precipitated the war.

But in any event the Dalish do ask for others to feel sorry for them. Every justification offered for their views flows from their being abuse victims. The whole point IS to feel sorry for them, and on a broader level to consider what is right and wrong when it comes to making victims of historic violence whole.

Their hate for humans is warranted, but they're not particularly friendly towards other races either.
Not as in actual violence but simply not getting along.

In that sense, Scout Harding is right to be surprised that a Dalish elf would care.
