You forgot to mention that if you play as a city elf in Origins, the Alienage of Denerim gets it's own Bann with the player (alternatively, Cyrion, Shianni or Soris depending on whether the player dies or decides to pass on the title to Shianni) becoming the first Elf to ever hold a noble title in Ferelden.
@@TrueMastersandMorons it's ok this is not the first time this happened to me, being a lore nut as I am, it would happen sooner or later :) in fact I spoiled myself in the past on every fantasy game/show/movie/book I was ever into from too much research hehe. doesn't make it less enjoyable for me. and yes it certainly makes me pay attention to his every gesture and word more. and all of a sudden he's interesting :)
Dragon Age is the only RPG I've played where the Elves are portrayed as lowest rung. Even though it's cruel it's also refreshing to have the usual races flipped a bit. So naturally I played as an Elven mage in DAO lol
Would you guys cover the mage specializations or all of the specializations? Please? Any or all is fine.. Just very interested to hear what all is out there..
I thought it was pretty interesting to learn that the Ancient Elves were no better than the humans who mistreat them. They also practiced slavery, using their own people as slaves, and ended up in a civil war that led to their downfall. Shows that even the Elves are as flawed as the Humans, Dwarves, and Qunari…but they’re still capable of coexisting without the interference from racist groups who teach them to hate.
True. Although it's hardly a pass for humans to do what they did. To be fair the Elves also had an entire civil war over it. And Were all immortal until Solas sealed them and the fade with the Veil he created. Circumstances were a bit different since the stakes were much more severe for the world given how powerful the Elves actually are when the veil wasnt even a thing until Solas made it
Ah Romeo and Juliet the tragedy remembered as a romantic Fuck I hate how much I've had to watch some version of Shakp(one of the ways he spelt his name(yes one of he didn't know how to spell his own name))
I would say this is more European in flavor. The way the Dales is described is kind of how pre-Reformation Christians would have described Muslim lands or something
the old gods, aka dragons are not the elven gods. Its not retconning its you confusing different lore Edit: this sounded kinda mean when I reread def not my intention just wanted to clarify
The old gods are not the Evanuris The evanuris are trapped in the Golden City within the fade. The city is actually Arlathan and its there because in the past the fade was part of the Natural World and was used as part of their cities and defensed, homes, libraries, and when solas created the veil he specifically locked the Evanuris within Arlathan inside the Fade.
Play UA The elder gods are in all likelyhood spirits or the "forgotten ones" the evanuris beat when they came to power They would need the evanuris freed in any event because solas fucked everyting with the creation of the veil.
Ya... our bad, we complete forgot to mention that in this video. We've made an update to the video title, so hopefully others will benefit from your sacrifice...
@@TrueMastersandMorons naa its my bad...i got this dlc now for more than a year and havent started it yet, idk why. Keep making lore content!!! i love your videos!!!
That obligatory cussing, just coming out of nowhere, priceless.
swearing, not cussin, cussing sounds weird

when you're a new dragon age fan and you like watching lore videos in between playing and than you hit the mother of all spoilers about Solas 😂😂😂😂
Nooooooooooooooo! So sorry, glad you're a good sport about it though. Now you can watch him with second playthrough eyes, lol.

I really like these elves. Reminds me of my own Nation/Tribe. Conquered, but still here.
Every time I really like a game I look up its lore and this is awesome thanx elf's are badass
Love watching your vids! Just recently came across the channel right as I got back into DAI.
these are cool Lore videos you guys are doing keep it up. hope you guys can do a video on War from Darksiders or Kratos from God of War

Dwarves for life!
lol
"Obligatory fuck" and that's a new thing I'm gonna say from now on
Their ancient enemy is probably dwarves with titan powers.
I can't believe I just sat there listening to the old delish story teller blame us (humans) for arlathan down fall
Arlathan no. But they did pillage everything and everywhere else... So thats pretty understandable why they'd think so
ooooow he said a bad word. I'mma tell mama
It's not a fantasy seeting without elves

Damn Thedas draws a parallel to the US racism and pillaging

LOL at obligatory curse.
I hate the retconning. How did the dragons (old gods) get to be underground if solas didnt trick them to imprison themselves?

@@SmartAss4123 so why elder mathafakin gods wanted magisters to enter dark city? Elder gods were older than evanuris?
Play UA
The elder gods are in all likelyhood spirits or the "forgotten ones" the evanuris beat when they came to power
They would need the evanuris freed in any event because solas fucked everyting with the creation of the veil.
@@SmartAss4123 so can it be that Maker in chantry is fen harel?
Ayyyy say Spoiler before!!!!!! i didnt started trespasser yet!!!!

I want to murder Solas so badly also the only lore I can think of is the lore of the Angelus and The Darkness from The Darkness games.
Great video, there's a few points that could probably been explored a bit more in detail, though that would probably make the video really really long
