literally the mahariel origin is so horrifying in terms of this disconnect from identity forced upon you by your clan refusing to share your parents’ past with you but simultaneously fostering this idea that “you don’t belong to just yourself”.

If Mahariel leans so staunchly into their identity being tied up as one of the clan (as you are repeatedly encouraged to) then being told by your keeper that you need to become a grey warden to survive is like.

“Please don’t cast me away.” You are begging for your identity!!! For everything you’ve known!! This is a different type of death sentence: you’re leaving behind the only family and home you’ve ever known, and just before you do, you find out they’ve been lying to and keeping secrets from you “for your benefit”.

What do they think would’ve happened by telling you? Sparing you from sadness? You carry the grief of your fallen empire on your shoulders constantly. Why can’t Mahariel know the sad truth about their parents? What else is being kept from you? And so there’s a little bit of distrust about your clan being sown.

But you have to cling to it because the distrust and fear of the humans is even stronger. You’re the only dalish elf in the grey wardens. You’re carrying your whole culture and people into this organization that demands you lay it down “for the greater good”. What the HELL.

once again. this is fucking insane that they just. never told you.

your FATHER was the PREVIOUS KEEPER. how do you NOT mention that. how does it not come up. truly winning for the most insane family dynamics ever i think this drives me the most insane out of all of the origins.

YOU HAVE TO PASS A PERSUASION CHECK TO GET THIS LORE. ASHALLE CAN CHOOSE NOT TO TELL YOU. how can they do this in good conscience. literally this has always driven me fucking insane.

i always end up having Nomaris have this conversation straight after talking to Paizel, where the storykeeper emphasizes the importance of knowing the Dalish heritage and where you come from. HOW CAN THESE TWO LINES OF THOUGHT EXIST CONTEMPORARY TO EACH OTHER?

"yes actually it's important we know our heritage and history or else we will forget the old ways. except you you're just the orphan we raised" BECAUSE THEY TALK ABOUT UR PARENTS BUT JUST NEVER TELL YOU HOW THEY ACTUALLY DIED. OR THAT YOUR FATHER WAS THE PREVIOUS KEEPER. OR THAT YOUR MOTHER WAS A HUNTER FROM ANOTHER CLAN. OR THAT THEY DIDN'T DIE TOGETHER.

like how long do you think Mahariel went believing that their parents both died in a tragic attack when they were a baby only to find out that their mother actually lived long enough to give birth to them but was so overwhelmed by grief that she disappeared. like what the FUCK is going on there.

You want me to look at myself in the mirror? The thing that killed Tamlen in Dragon Age Origins?
