can you like. tell me a little about dragon age. seeing your posts about it has got me interested in playing but i have little to no clue what it actually is

Boy can I explain nonny <3 This is a bit long so strap in and im sorry

Dragon Age is (currently) a three game series composed of Dragon Age: Origins (PS3, Xbox 360/Xbox One, PC), Dragon Age: II (PS3, Xbox 360/Xbox One, PC), and Dragon Age: Inquisition (PS4, Xbox One, PC) and its really unique because of its selling point that your actions impact the games as you progress. Like if you kill one character in one game they’ll stay dead through the rest of the series which makes you feel lived in the story and that your actions matter. Dragon Age is also an RPG so a roleplaying game kind of along the same lines of DnD where you get to make and play your own character. And yes there are romances and you can be gay.

The First Game of the series is Dragon Age: Origins where you choose from a selection of six unique (technically seven) origins or backgrounds for your character. You can be anywhere from a human noble or a Dalish elf, the unique elven culture in Dragon Age of nomadic clans dedicating to reclaiming their past. But eventually, from the events in your origin, you wind up a member of a secretive and elite order known as the Grey Wardens whose duty is to protect the world from the Blight.

The Blight is this spread of a horrible disease known as the Taint but is characterized by the presence of Darkspawn, a kind of zombie like creature who exists only to destroy the world. Grey Wardens take the heavy duty of protecting the world from the Blight, which have nearly wiped all of humanity multiple times, at all costs. And currently the country of Ferelden is under going a blight and due to events you wind up the only Grey Warden with your companion Alistair to save the world and reunite Ferelden which had fallen under a civil war.

Along Origins you meet many interesting characters. Alistair is your friendly co-warden who has a mysterious parentage that he hides under his happy go lucky attitude. In contrast to Alistair is the witch Morrigan who is your favorite goth swamp queen who would insult you and you thank her. In addition you meet your chaotic bi rogues Zevran and Leliana. Leliana is a nun who is on the run and hiding from a dark past and she is suspiciously good at murder. And Zevran is not at all hiding his aptitude for murder as an Assassin for hire who tried and failed to kill you but who can ignore that charming bastard?

Dragon Age II follows a much smaller story of a Ferelden refuge who had escaped from the Blight to the city of Kirkwall named Hawke. Unlike in origins where you get to pick your background 2 limits you to Hawke but fear not, Hawke is a loveable bastard and you can still customize them. Throughout DA2 you get to experience all the delights Kirkwall has to offer: Demons, crime, corrupt cops, and fighting your way to survive in this city and make a name for yourself.

Where Origins sets the stage for the world DA2 you are the actor in that play - literally the game is divided into 3 acts that take place over a span of 7 years. DA2′s main conflict is the argument of Mages vs Templars, as in DA’s lore while there are those who are born with magic they are forced to live in prisons policed by the Templar order and the church. You explore the more political arguments of; are the Templars right in their fears of magic as Kirkwall is filled to the brim with corrupt mages or do Mages deserve the chance to live and prove themselves freely from their prisons.

Your romancable companions in DA2 are all bisexuals as the true theme of DA2 is: be gay do crime. You have the foils of Anders: the runaway mage who fled from the prisons the mages are housed in and is determined to bring mages to freedom, and Fenris: the runaway escaped slave who curses magic for only inflicting pain and suffering in his life and wants his warnings to be heard about the dangers magic bring. In addition you also have Merrill, your cute but terrifying Dalish mage who would probably murder you with a cute smile and then go oops. And of course, my pirate wife Isabela, who lives a life free from commitment and is dedicated to the idea everyone should have a good time no matter the cost. Also while not romancable Hawke’s bff Varric deserves every ounce of praise he gets as never before has the energy of “two idiots sharing a braincell” ever been so well adapted.

Then finally we reach Inquisition. After the events of DA2 it triggers a full on war between the Mages and Templars that is destroying the land and causing severe damage that neither side can handle anymore. Desperate for an end to the conflict the Divine (err... fantasy pope) calls for a meeting on both sides... only for the entire thing to literally explode. Killing everyone present and causing a hole in the sky which now means demons are raining like cats and dogs you are the only one to survive. In Inquisition you can once again return to pick between unique backgrounds like in Origins but you don’t get to play through those backgrounds sadly.

You now possess something on your left hand which gives you the ability to patch up the hole in the sky that is pissing demons and due to being the only survivor everyone is incredibly confused about you. Eventually the Inquisition is formed around you, the character they are calling the Herald of Andraste (Andraste is fantasy Jesus) due to your ability to seal the holes. The mystery unfolds as over the course of the game you learn what caused the explosion, how you are connected, and what exactly the mark on your hand is.

DAI has the largest numbers of romance options so I’m gonna give a quick bullet point list for them all

Iron Bull (Pansexual, All Races): A Qunari (think Tiefling but big and beefy) mercenary who is far more clever than he lets on, as well as being the rope top dom of your dreams. Literally! Bull’s romance is a really healthy bdsm relationship if you are interested its very well done

Josephine (Bisexual, All Races): Your loveable ambassador and advisor for the inquisition. She is a workaholic noble who is a tried and true classic romance. Sweep her off her feet and duel for her hand all while navigating the nobility

Dorian (Gay, All Races): The flamboyant pariah rock star mage, he demands attention whenever he walks into the room. Although he wants to be all talk and no emotions make no mistake he is making puppy eyes at you the entire time and gets deeply offended if you say he is. Also not going to lie Dorian is the best piece of gay male rep in gaming history.

Cassandra (Male-only, all Races): Your stern warrior wife who is all serious no funny business... expect she is a bleeding heart romantic who reads horrible smut for fun. You wish to COURT HER?? I mean... if you want 👉👈 she won’t say no...

Blackwall (Female-only, All Races): Your weird dilf who wants desperately to prove himself every step of the way and help people. He is a constable for the Grey Wardens, but all the details on him seem murky... Ah well I’m sure its nothing, the Grey Wardens are a secretive order after all.

Sera (Lesbian, All Races): My wild child, monster chugging, beer guzzling, arrow shooting lesbian. Sera is here for a fun time and not a serious one, she’ll always make sure to keep you humble and ensure you aren’t getting to big for your breeches.

Cullen (Female-Only, Human and Elf only): Cullen’s the Inquisition’s commander who oohh boy is steeped in a lot of trauma. Cullen’s actually a character you get to know through out the series and see just all the horrible nonsense he’s been through. But he is your tragic self loathing... he isn’t princely but he is your adorkable charming

Solas (Female-Only, Elf Only): The humble apostate who joins the Inquisition out of curiosity of the breech, he is an expert on what the hell is going on with that hole in the sky. However, he holds a wisdom that goes far deeper than your typical apostate. Smooth talking and refined he carries a heavy cloud over him.

I left out a lot and all the nonsense with books and what have you but this is the easiest overview of the series I can offer. It’s main selling points is the deep story and characters throughout the games. And of course who doesn’t love the ability to make and roleplay your own character as a bonus? The games are bit of a flawed gem and Origins in my ugly child but they are truly a delight if you are interested

For the AU. Lawyer AU since u are a lawyer

Based slightly on something that I did at my office, but I just always wanted to be a lawyer.

--Warning: Homophobia. Bad writing.--

When Patton decided to study laws, it wasn’t the very first decision. It wasn’t that he was three years old and he already knew what he wanted to be.

At first, he wanted to be a baker, and that’s the only thing he’ll ever be passionate about, but he threw the idea of studying something related to that because… well, it wasn’t a great a choice.

Then he found another thing he was passionate about: helping people.

He immediately thought of studying medicine to help people, but he dropped medicine school with just one semester in. He just couldn’t deal with it, but at least he met his best friend and boyfriend there, Logan.

After spending a year on searching what he was good at he found law school. While it took him a while to get used to it, because wow, lawyers are rude as hell, he noticed that yes, he loved studying this.

He knew that by studying law he could help people who didn’t have a voice or didn’t know they deserved the legal help. He loved it.

A few months before his graduation he started working as an intern on a law firm, which at the beginning he hated because once again: lawyers are rude as fuck and also homophobic and misogynists, but ended up loving because his boss was amazing and he didn’t really have much contact with the rest of the firm, only his area.

So that was how he ended up there, working with Declan Sanders, the head of their area, Roman Sánchez, the litigant and Virgil Vohyd the one that was specialized on administration of the area, and now him Patton Smith, the intern who was always fighting with the printer and did research.

The spent most of his time at the firm with Virgil, because Declan and Roman spent most of the time in the courts.

Patton was having rough days.

He normally didn’t like to mix personal problems with any other aspect but the day he received a phone call of Roman pissed off because Patton forget to make the profile of the client. Then there was that time he lost the record of another client.

He was sure they were going to fire his ass, because he deserved it.

Then maybe he also made a mistake by choosing this career, he’s an idiot.

However, Declan tried most of the time to be patient with him.

He decided to bake a cake, as a way to say hey guys thanks for not firing my ass even though I’ve messed up several times.

“This is delicious, Pat.” Virgil mumbled into his piece of carrot cake, “Where did you buy it?”

Patton smiled as he served another piece to a partner that was visiting, “Oh, no. I bake it.”

Roman made a small mmmm sound, while Declan continue to munch their piece. “Wow, you’re wife is going to be a very lucky woman.” The partner said, and Patton swear to himself because he didn’t remember the name.

“No. I don’t believe so, sir.” He answered

“How so?”

“Oh, cuz I’m gay.” The moment it slipped his mouth he felt as if the air on his lungs were kicked off. He just came out to his bosses, and oh god, oh god, oh god.

Roman broke the silence with a huge belly laughter, “Oh my god, Pat!”

Virgil was also chuckling and shaking his head. He sighed.

The man, on the other hand, was clearly taken aback, and uncomfortable with the situation, so Patton just smiled innocently, “Want more cake?”

Later, Declan called him to his office and explained to him that, no pat you’re not in trouble, calm down

“You have to understand, you have to be more careful. Not that I care about losing a partner, but you know for your safety.”

Patton nodded the entire time, biting his cheek to prevent a smile to form. When Declan was done, he just smiles, “and just so you feel calm, thanks for sharing that information with us. This is an accepting environment.”

Patton smiled.

Lawyers were horrible, but he really did enjoy his job.

That’s actually how I came out at my office. I met my boss at school, she is three years older than me and yes, she knew I was gay. So one day I made pie and was giving to the other area I share floor with and this sexist man says the oh ya te puedes casar (you can get marry) and i was like uuh that’s going to be a problem, and he was like ?? and a woman who was there says like why and im cuz im gay. It was hilarious to see the reaction of the man.

My boss’ boss later told me that he didn’t have any issue but I needed to be careful on how I said it because “This environment is still very old-fashioned, and I don’t want you to get hurt because people are rude”

My other superior laughed her ass of when i told her and she was fukc yes you do do that to all the sexist people

now, on the AU, I really wanted to go even deeper on that because in my mind I can see Roman and Deceit being an item but at the same time I don’t know how that’ll go. So yes.

Also small logicality
