happy to announce i’ve finally lost it and spent a considerable amount of time making a dragon age inquisition mod that lets your inquisitor use they/them pronouns. if there’s anyone out there besides me who wants to use it, here it is on nexus.
detailed description and personal commentary under the cut
update: as of 3.05 (may 3rd), the mod has been uploaded to nexus. see download link above for any future updates.
this is a mod for frosty mod manager 1.0.6.1. you MUST install the bioware localization plugin for it to work, otherwise the game won’t start. on fmm 1.0.6.2, the plugin is already built in, so you don’t need to worry;
this mod is a simple overhaul of the game’s base text; no changes were made to the actual voice lines. this mod also does not affect default romance flags (just like in vanilla game, you can only romance sera with a "female" inquisitor (or dorian with "male"), but the mod should, hypothetically, be compatible with other mods that edit romance flags);
you can install it at any point of the game. starting a new playthrough is not necessary;
works for all races and with all available dlcs;
along with the pronouns change, this mod changes all gendered words used to refer to the inquisitor to be gender neutral, i.e man / woman have been replaced with person or contextual variants. my lord / my lady and other similar titles have been replaced with messere (on the basis of this reddit thread);
some of the dialogue could've been mistakenly changed, since context was not always easy to parse. if you try this mod out, i’d greatly appreciate any help with pointing out my mistakes (blackwall’s romance in particular has given me the most trouble); additionally, i might have missed some lines in the codexes, since i skimmed through them very briefly.
i’ve no previous modding experience, so i went with the easiest option and, like i mentioned above, brute forced it and made a complete overhaul of the base game text as opposed to a pickable option i’d like it to be. ideally i’d love for this mod to be bundled together with this other one that switches pc pronouns (which was a partial inspiration for this mod). if anyone here has any knowledge on whether this is something that could be done, please hmu.
also, since in order to make this mod i had to read through the entire game text (it was torturous. not gonna lie) i collected some of my personal favorite bits and pieces along the way. if anyone’s curious, you can look at them here. there’s surprisingly many developers’ notes in there.
ps: this mod is free to use for all so this is not at all necessary, but if anyone is feeling generous, i have a tip jar.

Booted Up The Sims 3 Again.
I'm on a mini hiatus from The Sims 4 at the moment. I wanted liberation from the constraints the game was imposing on me. Can't do this, can't do that, it was literally depressing. I'm a builder first, and as such, I can safely say I'm ready to move on from The Sims 4.
It's been years since I played The Sims 3, and I'm loving it so far. That said, I forgot just how insufferable it was to make decent looking sims! Although, I think I'm starting to get the hang of it again. What do you guys think?

bon voyage 🌅
Mon ami!
Today I went to see the new house. And oh, it's beautiful! Beau! You have to see it. I've been dreaming about it for so long. Now I can fully focus on a dream no less important. You know.
Kiss you tightly and wait for your visit.
Jacqueline.

I havent been through the tag yet so i have no idea if someone else has already made this post but
I am obsessed with this shot. Look at it. Not only is it the most beautiful and visually pleasing image ever, its just so full of details.
The circle of the ark, acting like an enormous Halo behind Beatrice, both in the idea of the Warrior Nun Halo, but also just generally like the Halos the Saints are bearing in any artistic representation. Saint Beatrice, patron of prisonners, guarding the doors of her love’s prison.
The cross over her head, acting like the sword of Damocles, physically and metaphorically. Warrior Nuns and Sister Warriors, always in the middle of danger, always at the risk of dying at any minute. Beatrice’s budding love, that could be taken at any moment because she fell in love with the Halo Bearer, the one that will die for the cause, way before old age.
For all the show, we had blue divinium crosses, giving Adriel his power. We had a golden Halo, giving Ava her powers. Now we are presented with a blue circle, and a golden cross. Upside down world.
And the cross with the circle, that is the gender symbol of womanhood, upside down. Just like the OCS, an order composed of women, being turned upside down by treason, lies and the murder of so many of their own.
I’m sure i could keep going, or some of you could complete this, but i just had to sit down and write my thoughts, like they really did that. They really gave us that quality. What a show.
