I was glad Wynne basically realized she was wrong at the end (Asunder), tbh. I told Wynne and Anders in Awakening every time that the Circles wouldn't work as the Warden and they're all "booo, noo". They come around eventually.  |

Weeeeee! My favorite factions are: Casteless dwarves (but also all dwarves, 'cause I'm dwarf trash), the Avvar, TEVINTER!!1, the Qunari (the folks in Par Vollen as well as the Tal-Vashoth rebels), Friends of Red Jenny, and Kirkwall creeew. So many reasons for loving them all. Tevinter's kind of the odd one out, but I really enjoy the opulence and classism and mage supremacy because that's fun... in fiction.  The rest of them are kind of "everymen", the lower class, haggard and overlooked and common. Bunch of unwanted, powerless outsiders, and tbh that's my jam. I really like ordinary people just trying to live their lives without any fuss, but of course fuss finds them. Because DRAMA. edit: Also the Crows, the Legion of the Dead, Mortalitasi and Necromancers in general...  |

They come around eventually. I remember this awful cow on OG BSN told me that Rhys owed it to Wynne to vote to stay, because that's what she would have wanted. Like, putting aside the fact that Rhys doesn't owe Wynne SHIT, it's like... you have zero understanding of Wynne's character, lol. I mean, I think Wynne made the right choice in the end, but she's a big hypocrite. "We should do what the Chantry and Templars want. Except when someone I specifically care about is threatened, then mind-murder the fuck out of everyone, lol." |

I read Asunder and I don't think that's what Wynne wanted in the end, but I guess everyone has their own interpretation. lol But yeah, Wynne was influenced heavily by her emotions. I think it was a situation of her idealizing and romanticizing her whole life, but when she was faced with the reality of how her son actually had to live, she realized she was wrong and wanted something better for him. |

Also, I wanna see more from the Antivan Crows. I know we had Zevran, but we could have some faction-related quests from them. Or maybe even another assassin in the main cast, except with a different spin on it. Maybe a female assassin who's completely serious and actually chose to be a Crow?

WHICH IS AWESOME CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, CAN I JUST SAY? Wynne in Asunder. The only decent and genuinely complex character BioWare ever produced, lul. |

On a related note, I want to know what was up with Rinna and that whole bastard queen heir-to-the-throne business. HOW DOES ANTIVA EVEN WORK. |

If there is a DA5, I would love for it to be in Antiva or a combination of Antiva/Rivain and the pirate culture of the islands around Rivain/Free Marches. Basically, assassins and pirates. Want.

Alienage elves were rad before they all got British accents. I guess that leaves Vashoth and Tal-Vashoth. I don't have any interest in the Qun, and tol girl likes playing tol girls. I like the idea of the Vints, but their portrayal in the games makes them awfully easy to hate. Presumably the next game would change that. Maybe. HOW DOES ANTIVA EVEN WORK. badly |

I want to see more of them. Even better, it would be amazing if they went back to having more origin stories to be able to play someone who is a member of the Crows (and you could RP whether you wanted to be with them or not). But I'd love to work more regularly with the Crows (I know there's a couple of war table missions but ehhhhh) or have one in the party. Plus it would be nice chance for Bioware to try again with the Crow lore and maybe rethink that whole forced-bisexuality thing that Zevran implied. :/ |

I know they’re frivolous and 99.9% of them are terrible, but I really like the Orlesian nobility. May or may not have everything to do with Vivienne..  It’s definitely part of the reason I enjoy Inquisition so much, the insight into Orlais and the culture is grand. And despite not liking the book overall personally, I really like the way The Game is portrayed in Masked Empire. Would not be opposed to seeing more of Orlais in later titles. Just a shame Val Royeux was so poorly designed. |

Rebel Mages. I'm very much Pro Mage freedom and fuck the system. Like, I understand magic can be as dangerous as any other weapon and yeah, maybe their should be (willing) schools people can learn at like the one in Skyrim so people can learn about their magic and protecting themselves from demons, but I very much draw the line at Templars (who can go fuck themselves) and anything like the Circle and prisons. Stealing a young child away from their family, or having the family give the child up because omg a mage, is awful and needs to be stomped out.
These two likely don't count as factions, but I'm also still very interested in Tal Vasoth and Fog Warriors.

I don't know that I have a favorite faction. Right now, the only group that I'm more interested in exploring are the Tevinter altus. We got some more dimension with them in DAI, with all of the different characters who were of that class (not just Dorian), but I'd like to see more, and of different types and goals. I'd also like to see an altus soporati (sort of a pet interest of mine). I'd also be interested to explore the avvar more with an avvar follower. [edit] Oh! I'm also super interested in the Tevinter Chantry and in learning more how that differs from the Southern Chantry. I read Asunder and I don't think that's what Wynne wanted in the end, but I guess everyone has their own interpretation. lol But yeah, Wynne was influenced heavily by her emotions. I think it was a situation of her idealizing and romanticizing her whole life, but when she was faced with the reality of how her son actually had to live, she realized she was wrong and wanted something better for him. Heh this just reminds me that I need to reread it one of these days. Unrelated to the content of the novel itself, but I thought it was interesting to see David Gaider's skill as a novel writer improve with each novel he wrote. I'm sad he won't be writing any more DA ones (not likely, at any rate). HOW DOES ANTIVA EVEN WORK. badly  |

The Grey Wardens hold a lonely vigil, enduring lives of hardship and sacrifice to protect the world from an evil that can never truly be conquered. Few would volunteer for this: the suffering, isolation, and promise of a violent death. But the path of a Warden is also one of valor, and those who give themselves to the cause are rewarded with the knowledge that they have become something more than they were.
Yes, the Grey Wardens can be shady extremists, but that's also why I like them.
I also really want to know more about Vashoth/Tal-Vashoth.

FAVE IS OBV REBEL MAGES. I'm mage/magic trash and that bs about magic being powerful and need to be controlled and is bad can literally be applied to whatever. It's what's done about the power and who wields said power that mentions.

Do the Friends of Red Jenny count as a faction?
If so, that's mine. Chaotic Neutral for life.

The rest of them are kind of "everymen", the lower class, haggard and overlooked and common. Bunch of unwanted, powerless outsiders, and tbh that's my jam.
Much love right back at ya!
