Good video, but no "Awakening" for DAO on the "Ideal Path"?
I saw this head canon on TikTok and I love it - Hawke is a descendent of Andraste on Malcom’s side. Her descendants probably wouldn’t want to stick around Tavinter and might have gone back to the tribes of Fereldan
I wonder if these stories were originally propaganda that the “gods”(can’t spell the official name) introduced
No Dragon Age Movies, eh...? www.reellifewithjane.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/dragon-age-redemption-adam-rayner.jpg X'D Why's that? Jk lol all love
Will there be recaps of the other games in this series? My best friend is finally getting into DA but has to start with Inquisition since he’s on PS5 and the other two games aren’t backwards compatible on there. I know Inquisition is a fine place to start but a lot of that game is based around paying off things that are set up in Origins and 2 and I worry that the lack of context will leave him confused/won’t hit as hard. Also, he knows that BioWare games can get some people uh let’s say “heated” online and he would prefer to watch someone that isn’t gonna do that. If not, that’s okay I’ll just guide him through the Keep or something lol
Yes! Those will probably take a few weeks before i get to them, but it will happen!
@@GhilDirthalen awesome thanks 🙏
I love Awakening. I hope Veilguard does something like bring back the Architect or awakened darkspawn so that more people could go back and experience it. To this day it is still one of my favorite DLC of any game ever. Edit: the bug in silverite mine is infuriating though.
Most of my friends are taking that lazy approach, bless them. It mostly means I have to answer questions asked in the middle of the night about a specific lore aspect that they found interesting after I explained the world when they saw the gameplay trailer, lmao. I love them, bless them. Tho, I did send the more interested ones your way, hopefully it means a lil boost in subs since I do love your work, lol. I also got three to try Inquisition! Didn't quite manage the swing for Origins, mostly because they saw the tactics menu the one time and decided to nope out - king behaviour tbh, completely understandable. Also, bro, had no idea about the Portuguese lore chanel. Fucking A. Thanks so much, will check them out!
feels like all magic is blood somehow blood of spirits blood of titans blood of humans "or whatever race" blood of darkspawns
OMG, great video! I'm from Brazil and I love to learn about DA in Guardião Cinzento's channel!
3:29 Xbox is backwards compatible (I'm playing Dao on the series X)
Oh my god, thank you so so much for the mention! It's an honor xD And, of course, video is great as always!
This isn’t directed at Caitie, but this seems like a good place to mention this seeing as we’re talking about revisiting DA media. I got DAO and DA2 in that recent steam sale. DAO is working fine, but DA2 requires that EA launcher and it won’t let me log in? It keeps telling me that something went wrong and to try again later. EDIT: I fixed it myself 🔨 💪🏻
Unfortunately i cant help- but ive heard SO many issues stemming from the EA app. Even people who bought it off EA are having trouble playing. :(
@@GhilDirthalenEA is so cursed. Anyway, after more digging online I found a fix apparently by using the EA app recovery feature and that fixed it! 🎉
@@GhilDirthalenAfter some tinkering, it’s fixed!! 🎉🎉🎉 There was some EA app recovery feature that got it working-can’t believe it’s so busted they have to give you a fix when you download the app. 😂 That’s so awful. Ah, man, EA. I will be glad to be back to playing on console for Veilguard. ❤
8:05-an Elven City on the Moon, sounds like the final dungeon of every JRPG.
So the Qun is basically communism.
I would also add that the Gaider Comics can be skipped as it follows Bioware's canon and can conflict with choices you might make in game. Also, there is only a one off line that references it. My ideal track: Origins DLC - Stone Prisoner & Witch Hunt. DA2 DLC- Legacy ( i like to play it in act 3, but that is personal preference) Books: Asunder Masked Empire Inquisition DLC- Decent & Trespasser (after main story) Books - Tavinter Knights (especially the stories- Among the dead men, Callback, On the Streets of Mintathus, The Wig maker job and Dread Wolf take you.) Then the short stories.
Whenever I hear the city of Cumberland, all I can think of is a huge city with a lot of Cumberland Farms and most of its citizens have whatever food these stores sell for breakfast, lunch, dinner and desert.
So is Antiva a kingdom or principality?
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)
I'm watching through your playthroughs of the games right now, still at DAO. :)
So the Fereldan noble system is a bit similar to the British Nobility System. Teryn=Duke, Arl=Earl and Bann=Baron.
I am a huge Dragon Age fan since 2010/2011. I have read all of the books, comics and even watched both the computer animated movie and the Netflix animated show. I might have read the IDW Dragon Age comic, and I still found that story problematic back then due to most of the characters being unlikeable, the mean spirited tone, the inconsistency with the art style and don’t forget a lot of stuff that doesn’t respect the source material at all such as Gregor being the beta version of Meredith, the timeline of where this takes place in the Dragon Age world and how healing magic has the ability to grow back a severed limb. My favorite book is either the Stolen Throne or Asunder. My favorite comic book story arcs are either the Alistair one, the Knight Errand, the Blue Wraith and Dark Fortress. I wonder if there will be a Dragon Age manga series sometime in the future that goes over the First Four Blights as well as the Fall of the Dales and the Arrival of the Qunari.
Love this! And thanks for the shout out!! :D
Id say 1 alternative route, is to just enjoy all the games and dlc if you want to play games, then read the synophsis of the different novels on the wiki. and honorable mention for the dragon age lorecast. And Caties podcast with Jordan from the exalted march: split the veil. She would probably die rather than recommending her won podcast, so I will. They have made episodes about different topics in both dragon age and mass effect since the time of inquisition.
“Make sure to play The Stone Prisoner”? Shale in Veilguard confirmed!
Nah- i honestly dont know. I just think it helps set up dwarf lore and witch hunt, which reuses the map 🫡 If i knew shale was back i would have added in Asunder.
Xbox Series X/S consoles are the best place to play the games. All of the content is available via backward compatibility, they are included with a Game Pass subscription via EA Play, they have enhancements like fps boost and auto HDR, and they don’t have any major issues like the PC version.
loved this! also thanks for the shoutout :)
Aaaa thank you for the mention! Also, love the little animated Ghil you've been using for these videos, it's so cute ✨ I've actually been rereading all of the novels and can't wait to jump back into Tevinter Nights, there's so many details I had forgotten haha
Thank you so much for putting the link for the Last Court archive in the description! Always wanted to look at that one.
0:12 "in preparation for the dragon age veilguard" I love how we have all collectively chosen to ignore the "the" in Dragon Age *THE* veilguard 😂 I still do not like the new name...😢
Thank you so much! <3 <3 I would just add Awakening after Origins to the ideal DLC because it sets up a part of the Tevinter-related lore (that ties in to what is revealed before people are singing, you know) and make for a greater OMG what wow moment ^_^
And this is such a wonderful summary of all the things to partake of! I do love reading - but I like to have my book series be book series and game series be game series (Ikr, crazy) so I missed all the reading material going into Inquisition and honestly, some of the things happening there were actually hard to understand and were missing context and character introduction because they had been in written media so I feel like now I actually have to read to not be surprised by that next time. Thank you a ton for this summary!
Caitie why are we awake
1:25 is hilarious and very accurate 😂 Solas is just a lil' silly guy
Im surprised Awakening didnt make it onto the "ideal" track
Presumably because it’s unfortunately not really that relevant to the series at large. I’d argue Anders is the only important-to-the-series part, but by DA2 he’s got very different personality and sums up his background pretty well.
Yeah over Witch Hunt? All because of Morrigan? The dlc and Eluvian is seemingly mentioned once in Inquisition during conversation with Morrigan. But Hawkes relationship with Anders frames his position in Inquisition. Maybe I'm crazy.
@@alexraffeo3629 Awakening is the end to the Warden Commander's storyline which, given that Grey Wardens are a playable faction in the new game, might put into perspective how Grey Wardens operate.
@@ComradeCaspera bit of morrigan- but its the last adventure with the warden and sets up where they are during all this time. Also has a neat little scene with ancient elven and dwarves cooperating- seeing as how we seem to be getting a lot of ancient elven stuff- it made the list.
@GhilDirthalen I can see it - But I love Awakening and will always be a must play in my eyes, sets up the Architect and *hints* essentially at the Darkspawn Magisters being the main villain(s) of Inquisition. Without Archy we wouldn't have Cory, is how I see it. I can agree with the ancient Elves playing a big part.
Wooooo 🎉
Love your videos Caitie. Random tidbit I thought you’d be interested in- there’s a small team that’s been working on a Dragon Age mod for the game Crusader Kings III. I don’t think the game itself is something you’d be interested in, but the mod is being worked on still and it’s going to start in 2:05 Divine :)
Thank you so much for the shoutout. 🤗 I must reread some stories...for better preparation to meet our future companions. 😁 Totally not because I'm obsessed.
It's only now after posting that I forgot one of the novels for DA. HARD IN HIGHTOWN is a mini novel that is a slightly expanded version of an in-lore novel/codex entry. That could probably be found in your library, but its more of a cute coffee table book than anything important. Also, to those asking why I didn't include the newer Netflix show, Dragon Age: Absolution: While a cute little show, there is no way that ties into Veilguard in a major way. Maybe there is a codex entry, but after listening to the interviews, the show sounded like it tried to tell a standalone story and be its own spin-off. They said they don't know if they would get a season 2 and left it on a major cliffhanger. You don't do that shit if it was important to the game. So, it doesn't make the list.
Erm... Ghil or Caitie, another of the RUclipsrs covering Dragon Age with a passion equal to yours is Jackdaw even if he doesn't cover the lore and such.
What I have been doing is replaying the games and using youtube to go over the tie in media.
Great video! Can't get enough of your new avi, kudos to the artist for making the cutest spirit of knowledge ever!
and Dawn Of The Seeker
That's true. Plus there's also Absolution on Netflix.
thank you for your guide! i'm newbie in this fandom and i needed this so much!❤ I absorb lore in such a chaotic order and in such huge quantities that my head goes boom😅 and it is only your channel yet))) but i have one question - why no Missing in Ideal track? isn't it a direct prequel to Veilguard?
So yes it is! But it kinda sucks and frankly Tevinter Nights and the ending of DAI does a better job at setting up what it tries to do. So I feel like there just isn't a need for it if you read TN.
@@GhilDirthalen oh ok, thank you very much for answer and for your vid!
This is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video
I love your new Avatar 💜 the series is great ☺️
Early af
Vhenadahls just got me thinkin about the non romanceable trailer tree 😔
I wonder if Urthemiel was Andruil
Elven man sitting in a chair
Cullen is very misunderstood by the DA fandom, but honestly pretty much every character is misunderstood if the player cares little about them or they challenge them on things.
Hey so, Im coming back to dragon age after a really long time, is there a discord i should join ?
