    I love Orlais and most of all it's over the top interior. I know it's kind of intentional but Orlais, and especially the nobles game, reminds strongly of Versailles in the time of it's glory. Every time I see Halam Shiral's winterpalace or any chateau like Chateau d'Onterre, I gasp. I take dozens of screenshots of those places. :P Damn diffictult place to live, but damn beautiful!

    It shouldn't be a surprise that noble titles and their ranking in Orlais are exactly those used in France before the revolution. As someone who's familiar with such titles, I found it much easier navigating Orlais' politics than that of other nations in Thedas, including Ferelden.

    The Dowager is great. I like the husband that died in a "violent tailoring accident". I'm just imagining a tailor stabbing him with scissors over and over and when someone walks in, he's like "He fell on my scissors. Repeatedly. So clumsy,", while still bent over the corpse.
    Also, you said that elves in Tirashan worship the Forbidden Ones. I know it was an honest mistake but someone might not.

      @makingnoise3931 7 років тому

      Quick fan theory: could the dwarves be the "flesh" of the titans, while lyrium their blood? That's why dwarves are sort of immune to lyrium, since they are in a way "biocompatible"?? Also Sandal Feddic may be like... part of a titan's brain... so he knows stuffs and can manipulate lyrium better?
      So long ago as the elves warred among each other, they thirsted for more power to fuel their magic so slayed the titans and mined their bodies for lyrium (the blood - like blood magic). The titan's shattered bodies... stone-like actually became the dwarves, hence the dwarves worship and are said to have come from and will come back to "the stone". And somehow, one day the dwarves will merge again to form the titans and get revenge on the ancient elves which Solas would command... *sizzling tinfoil*
      If you actually read and enjoy this, Ghil, lmk. Got more fan theories I'd love to share lol. :]

    Is it really the most powerful? If, hypothetically, Tevinter had a moment of peace from the Qunari, and the two empires clashed one on one, who would win? (I don't know much about the lore, but I always understood that Tevinter was simply too busy to be a threat to the South)

    This is an amazing video! However, there is one fact that confuses me. In Inquisition, you meet The Dowager, Lady Mantillion, like you said. However, if you read “The Masked Empire” Briala kills Mantillion to avenge her parents. Soooo… why is Mantillion at the Winter Palace? She’s supposed to be dead! Someone clear this up for me, I’m so confused!

    • @LeonGun8
      @LeonGun8 6 років тому +1

      Good question. It's possible the lions went extinct or are incredibly rare due to Blights. A good chunk of Orlais is trainted with Blight, just like most of the Anders and south Tevinter. And well, most of central Thedas is tainted too. I imagine many animals went extinct during the first Three Blights, especially the first and second Blights.

    Since Orlais is the Dragon Age version of France, is there going to be a spin-off of the common folk starting a revolution against the Nobles, abolishing the monarchy and nobility system and turning the Empire into a Republic?
    Speaking of which, since Fereldan is the Dragon Age version of Britain, will there be a spin-off game of Fereldan becoming a steampunk empire and colonized countries outside of Thedas’ borders like a forest island of people with Fox Ears and Tails called Meiji (Dragon Age Japan), a snowy country called Polath (Dragon Age Russia) which is north to a continent east of Thedas that is home to the gnomes, a tropical isle of Merfolk that’s just as ancient as the Elven Empire called Mulantis (Dragon Age Atlantis) and a tropical desert south of the eastern continent that’s home to various tribes of Djinn (blue skinned elves), Efreet (red skinned orcs), Colossi (grey skinned Minotaur) and Cait Sith (humanoids with cat ears and tails)

    • @nicolecline8584
      @nicolecline8584 7 років тому +1

      Same. Though I'll admit, there were a few details I would like to be in the game. Blood magic and companion/world reaction to it, racism to non-human companions/player character, seeing Dorian/Fenris/Zevran, little things like that. And I'd LOVE getting to see Antiva, Seheron, and the Anderfells, not gonna lie, but I won't get my hopes up. Fingers crossed we're actually going to Tevinter! lol
      The story points just seem to fanfic-esque to be true. But I am expecting the Inquisitor to still be an important secondary character and I'll be very interested to see how the whole Solas x Lavellan situation pans out (though, I doubt Solas will be the main antagonist til either the end of DA4 or DA5).
      Thank you very much, btw!

      just my thoughts on what I want, but mainly tevinter i want to see the city that's never been conquered with its black stone and dragon designs it would be the most out of their city to visit in thedas
