Fact is oghren loved branka in the way y’all can only put in fanfic & wattpad kidnapped by one direction stories. Oghren loved his paragon so much that he drove his entire house into the dust just for a CHANCE to fight for her. 2 entire years he spent banging on the doors of the assembly/palace demanding she not be abandoned. Of course it drove him to drinking and raging and drinking some more, he was taught that paragons are living GODS (pretty much) and was contending with the cruel, shattering reality that it’s been reduced to just face and politics. And there’s a lot to unpack about political corruption there but there is also a note to be made about how far into the abyss the darkspawn have pushed his proud people into over generations upon generations. He isn’t just mourning branka he is mourning honor and culture and religion. His OWN but also his PEOPLE’S. You’re not allowed to talk to him about it though uhh fart joke - here, hold that

Far worse, in my opinion, than the famous “he wouldn’t fucking say that” is “he WOULD fucking say that, as part of his facade, but you seem to think he would mean it genuinely”

what’s fascinating about vivienne’s position at the start of dai is that she is a woman who has gambled and lost. had the chantry been victorious in restoring its peace at the conclave, vivienne and the mages she claimed to speak for would have been in an incredibly strong position: the few who remained loyal throughout, favoured above all others when “normality” returned. she was absolutely counting on this
the explosion at the conclave, of course, destroys everything. the chantry on which she had placed all her bets is brought to its knees. meanwhile, in her absence from court, her position there and all the power she fought hard to assign to it has been usurped by an apostate. it is only these circumstances that drive her to make an even more desperate gamble: on the upstart inquisition. more than anyone, her fate rests not only on the inquisition’s victory against corypheus, but also its sweep into political power. everything she has ever wanted for herself and for the people she speaks for hinges on this
her story could have been about that!!

AS SAID BY ZEVRAN ARAINAI
* assorted dialogue from dragon age: origins, updated version
i'll take that as an apology.
if you want to bed me, you have only to ask.
that's rather saucy of you, isn't it?
magic can kill. knives can kill. even small children, when launched at very fast speeds, can kill.
so let us pretend that i do, indeed, believe murder is wrong.
you say that like it's a bad thing.
why have we not made love as of yet?
how will you ever learn how to pleasure each other unless you talk about it?
it drives me mad with desire.
do i detect a bit of jealousy there? feeling territorial, are we?
sounds intriguing, if you ask me.
you get the most delightful wrinkle in your brow when you are curious.
shall i describe the rest of the ritual to you?
those stories you heard? all true.
i see where this is going. downhill. and quickly too.
you seem rather charmed by the idea.
i am willing to take my chances.
it is flattery only if i exaggerate the truth to please you. i am but stating a simple fact.
now i regret that extra pie at lunch.
so let me get this straight. you have... never wooed? not once? you are woo-less, as it were?
perhaps you have people you need killed.
i said no such thing.
politics and death go together like kisses and lovemaking.
you are... feeling all right, yes? perhaps you are tired?
one day you will realize that you have wasted your youth and beauty on bitterness and suspicion, mark my words.
i'm sorry... are you speaking to me?
does that make you jealous?
i admire you. you are a wicked, wicked woman.
i do not think you a fool. we are not so dissimilar, after all. i know what you are doing.
if you like, i could hoist you up on my back.
i don't go into forests as a rule.
i can think of many other things we can do other than sleep.
when the prey is caught, it deserves a good death, a clean death.
i am not permitted to tell you what they mean.
surely you can see i am serious now. i honestly wish to know.
didn't you desire companionship during those two years?
adventure has changed you.
so i imagine it has been some time for you.
i simply offer my services should you ever feel the need for... release.
has anyone told you what marvelous eyes you possess?
you should be admired by painters, copied by sculptors, exalted by poets.
i am so confused. i think i may cry. may i lay my head in your bosom?
i couldn't help hearing about your... predictament.
how could one kill such a creature without bedding it, first?
could you destroy something as pretty as i am?
one would have to be blind not to realize how very pretty we all are, and how important that is to preserve.
creating a new life can be a great deal of fun.
your form is wonderous, that's true.
i've thought about your predicament, my friend.
surely this must bring you discomfort, knowing you can never partake in such pleasures.
which girl? i saw many and i watched them all.
on second thought, i suppose it would be rude of me to intrude on another man's domain.
you are only slightly more attractive to me than a slime-filled pool of swamp water.
are you dispensing professional advice now?
and here i was becoming rather fond of the idea of you watching me closely.
that cynicism will serve you well, my friend. hold onto it.

the earring zevran gifts to the warden is usually shown as a simple hoop which is v cute but i also feel like with the warden having the option to say it’s “so beautiful”, and zevran describing it as a “jewelled earring” from a “rivaini merchant prince”, the implication in-game is that it’s considerably more ornate than that
