    I highly recommend just going round and chatting to companions often, even if it's just to see if there's any updates on their personal quests. I lost out on a lost of companion content because I assumed it would just give me quest updates telling me to talk to them (like DA2)

    I said on an earlier video to ignore the requisitions. That's not entirely right at Skyhold. There are some available now that are specifically to upgrade parts of the castle, and they're worth doing. There's also a door to a garden courtyard on the same side of the main hall as the one to the war room, and a door to the dungeons in the main courtyard right by where you first spoke to Sera

    I'm only 30 minutes in but I gotta speak up for my girl Vivienne!!! She doesn't hate mages!!!! She wants to protect them by making them seem as harmless as possible to the regular people. She doesn't want mages to be feared and hunted, which is exactly what would and has happened.

    • @snorpenbass4196
      @snorpenbass4196 Місяць тому +3

      Oh no, she absolutely doesn't hate them. She's just an upper class person who doesn't understand that her own mage life was very, very different from all the other mages outside Tevinter. She had total freedom, where most mages were locked up in prison cells under constant guard. Basically, she thinks everyone is just whining over nothing, because her life was fine. I'd say more, but that's spoiler territory.

    • @OccultEclipse
      @OccultEclipse Місяць тому +3

      Well the current order has mages locked up and that separation and inequality allows the people of Thedas to otherize them and fear them. Not to mention the dogma of the chantry paints mages as dangerous sinners, Vivienne doesn’t have any real solutions. She just wants to remain at the top of the hierarchy.

    I believe Viviane was speaking of the commoners opinion of mages. most commoners are frightened of mages. often times when a child reveals that they have magic powers their own parents are frightened of their child and abandons them. or yeah, a village will burn a mage at the stake. for no reason but their own ignorance. the mage circles where to protect mages from the Populus as it was to keep them from getting out unless they had permission from the head enchanter like Irving was in Ferlden. the reason you were not allowed out was because you were an apprentice and after that and only newly past your harrowing. wynn was allowed to leave frequently. Viviane also was allowed to leave her circle as well. Kirkwall was an abnormal circle.
    not to say what happened at the white spire was bull shit. that was totally wrong and I know why it started the rebellion. the dragon age novel Asunder goes over the story that Cole just gave the overview of. oh and Rhys is the son of Wynn

  • @nevrknowsbestt
    @nevrknowsbestt Місяць тому +5

    I don't think Vivienne hates mages. Quite the opposite actually. I think she actually wants every mage to have the same privileged experience in the Circle as she did. In her point of view, she was given free education, shelter, and security from demons and dangerous people, with more freedom than most other Circles in Thedas. She recognizes this privilege, and understands that Circles like Kirkwall are abhorrent and must be changed. However she views the lack of Circles to be more dangerous for mages overall, because now they are at the mercy of the commonfolk, with no safe haven to run to. As she said, there are going to be witch hunts and mages hung from gibbets just for the crime of being a mage, due to the fear of magic in general. Mages will have to respond with violence, and the chaos will continue. Add on top of that, demons are everywhere. and unprotected mages are magnets for demons to possess. All this isn't 100% going to happen, but it is a plausible future in her eyes, and she'd rather reform the already established Circle rather than tear them down and risk widespread violence from both non-mages and mages alike. She doesn't hate Mages, rather, she just has a different view on how to ensure the safety of every Mage.
    This is very much a non-Dalish issue, which is why she made that comment about the Dalish being disconnected from this world. "This World," meaning the one in discussion; where the politics of mages and non-mages are the forefront: The Andrastian centric world. She didn't mean it in an insulting way, but in a literal sense. The Dalish are indeed, very much isolated from that world to understand it fully in such a short time.
    sorry for the yapping, i just love discussing the nuances of these characters. they're all so fun

    • @TheDMG_DA
      @TheDMG_DA Місяць тому

      My biggest issue with Vivienne is that I don't see any evidence that she recognizes the level of privilege she has, or that, to the tiny extent that she does, she feels she's fully earned it and doesn't recognize the amount of luck that went into her being in a position to earn it. The way she talks about how mages in much more awful situations react to their circumstances belies a severe lack of self-awareness to me.
      She reminds me of "self-made" rich people in RL who don't recognize their level of privilege and the amount of luck (and not just their hard work) that went into it.
      Which makes me loathe her (well, even more than I would loathe any Circle/Chantry apologist)...
      ....but also makes her characterization stellar.
      The writers (and the VA) did a great job of creating a character that would be so infuriating to many, but also giving her such badass nonchalance and charisma that many who disagree with her are drawn to her anyway. My only complaint about her writing would be an expectations spoiler, so I'll shut up on that front.
      That said, this isn't an attack on you. I found your post to be quite interesting, even if I disagree with a central tenet....and it just so happens to be a thing that makes Viv so irritating to me I couldn't help but comment, lol.

    Flemeth said to Hawke in Dragon Age 2: "We stand upon the precipice of CHANGE. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the ABYSS. Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you can fly"
    And Morrigan said to Hero of Ferelden in Witchhunt: "...The ritual was a means to an end, a herald for what is to come. CHANGE is coming to the world. Many fear CHANGE, and will fight it with every fibre of their being. But sometimes CHANGE is what they need most. Sometimes, CHANGE is what sets them free."
