Because the point of her existence is to make up new shit about the Dalish in order to make templars seem more necessary.

Before DA:I, we have heard nothing but the love and respect Dalish have for their mages. In DA:O, DA:2, and all extended material. Then suddenly BioWare I guess realized they were a good example of why templars are not necessary, and decided to create a new rule that “Dalish only have 3 mages in a clan at once.” THIS IS COMPLETELY UNPRECEDENTED AND IN MY OPINION IS EXTREMELY SLOPPY WRITING.

I should really make a post collecting everything about this.

Oooh, awesome prompt! Thank you! I’ll go with the Origins crew on this one 🙂

If Origins companions had blogs

Alistair: Reblogs memes, gifs, and writes ridiculous jokes about his daily life. He has a loyal following of friends and people who share his sense of humor. He has around 500 followers at last count, but it’s steadily growing.

Sten: Posts pictures of cookies he intends to eat. Occasionally throws in an intense post about the virtues of the Qun. He has exactly five followers; one is the Warden and the other four are bakers.

Oghren: Posts his YouTube reviews of the liquors he tries, including “beer from the bottom of a discarded keg” and “moonshine I found in the woods.” He also posts the filthiest jokes he can find. He has 50,000 followers.

Morrigan: Has an interesting but mildly pretentious Instagram account where she posts pictures of spells in progress, ancient books she’s reading, and artifacts that interest her. Occasionally a piece of jewelry sneaks in. She has 400 followers and does not particularly want more. She also quickly blocks anyone who asks her a stupid question.

Leliana: Has a gorgeous lifestyle blog filled with flowers, fashion, music, and beautiful essays on forgiveness and compassion. Her style and sweetness have earned her 65,000 followers and a book deal in the works.

Wynne: Has a personal blog where she gently offers advice to her family and friends under the guise of discussing a hypothetical scenario. They pretend to be annoyed but actually value her wisdom. She has 200 very loyal followers; it will go up to over 10,000 after Leliana recruits her to write an advice column.

Zevran: Runs a body positivity Instagram account that’s half shirtless pictures of him, and half photos celebrating men and women of all shapes and sizes. He broke 100k followers in the first week.
