My mom said almost these exact words to me 21 years ago, when my grandma passed away two days before Christmas. She meant the world to me, and I still think about her so often.

I know your pain, you’re not alone. And it definitely fucking sucks. I’m so sorry for your loss :(

So you’re saying it would be better if they used some random new protagonist and a random new story just to avoid starring Ciri, simply because Ciri is a woman?

I would love to be a Wizard too, and I think I’d make a good one? But maybe I’m vastly underestimating how much actual effort it would take 🤔

Realistically though, I’d probably be more of a Rogue. All my useful skills are completely self-taught and I’m good at BSing

it is a direction that seems to signal the end of the more grounded, darker fantasy RPG I fell in love with.

As a game, it’s good. And I’m sure it’s still a good Dragon Age game to many DA fans. But it’s not *my* Dragon Age, and that’s a lot harder for me to come to terms with than I expected. 🧵4/4

about the future course of the game really just amplifies those negative feelings.

I could go on and on to be honest, but only because the Dragon Age series has meant so much to me throughout my life, and I’m so sad to see it going in a new direction. It’s not necessarily a *bad* direction, but 🧵3/

BUT as a long time Dragon Age fan, I just very much dislike the new direction the series seems to be going in, if #DATV is any indication. There’s less of a focus on cohesive world-building, and it feels less “grounded” than previous entries. The implications made in the game’s secret ending 🧵2/

Congrats!!

This looks so good!! Always happy to see Rinoa appreciation on the TL ☺️
