    My roommate just got the game, and he gets first crack at it. I haven't even played Awakening or DA II, much less Inquisition.
    The Fade is probably the most interesting part of Dragon Age's lore. It bears an interesting similarity to the Astral Plane of other mythos, but has elements of the afterlife in it as well.

  • @inside98
    @inside98 10 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    So, does anyone believe what the chantry has to say about the fade and the golden city?
    My personal theory is that it was tainted on purpose. The imprisoned magister from the legacy dlc claims the city was already black when they entered.
    Might be some kind of magical warfare that went wrong.

    • @WhitiesReviews
      @WhitiesReviews 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Whitie's Reviews
      I wasn't even aware that there is a lack of doubters.
      One of the sisters even says that they altered the chant of light for political and cultural reasons.

    • @nemo5336
      @nemo5336 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I remember reading a theory that the Golden City was or had some form of connect to Arlathan, and in the last stand it was the elves that created the taint. Well it went along those lines anyway.

    • @inside98
      @inside98 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** That is certainly one possibility. Turn their gods against them and let them kill each other while the ancient elves wait in hiding.
      They could mob up the remaining humans and reclaim their old empire afterwards or maybe they just did it out of revenge and desperation.

    • @aravore2719
      @aravore2719 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The chantry has nothing to back up what it's saying (besides MAYBE the sacred ashes but even then...) although this is a fantasy world full of demons and dragons and mages so it is plausible. I just look at it from my current character's perspective. My warden was a chantry-brainwashed circle Mage but my hawke was definitely atheist, even if it's just because of what they say about apostates like bethany. My inquisitor is most likely going to be agnostic, given that he is a qunari Mage, who is resistant to religion in general (the qun doesn't treat their mages well) but is beginning to think those calling him andraste's herald may be right.

      They're required to note if it was paid for by a company somewhere, that's part of advertisement laws. I don't see an EA symbol anywhere in the video or something stating that EA had anything to do with these videos aside from publishing the game.

    I definitely hope you'll make more of these around the time that the next game comes out. Because, wowie- DAI sure did disprove and add to stuff, especially Elven lore, Tevinter Lore, magic, and the Fade. These videos really did help, though.

    They forget that Sten a Qunari can entered the fade with the warden

  • @Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
    @Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have a wonder: is the ability to dream (that is, to enter the fade incorporeally) an absolute prerequisite of the ability to wield magic? There appears to be some contradiction surrounding Qunari mages; this episode of DA:I lore states that the Qunari claim to not dream at all, whereas the Dragon Age Wiki page for 'Qunari' states that the Qunari claim they do not dream, 'as Humans or Elves do' (what this actually means, I am unsure). Furthermore, the Dragon Age Wiki page for 'Mage' defines the Fade as the realm where, 'Humans, Qunari, and Elves visit when they dream.'. So, perhaps the fact that Dwarves cannot dream makes no difference to their inability to wield magic, but instead, it is their natural resistance to Lyrium. Either that, or the Qunari are lying.

    • @TheAsylumCat
      @TheAsylumCat 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I like to think that the power to wield magic is an elven trait, a trait that was lost when breeding between humans happened, which caused the quickening. there are qunari mages but they are not commonly seen in the fade, probably due to their culture restricting them.

    • @Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
      @Jazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Hmm, I'm not sure. I wouldn't think that culture affects one's capacity to dream. The subject matter within the dream, perhaps. Ultimately though, a dream, by nature, is abstract filler, so I'd say Qunari dreams possess the same level of distinctiveness in themselves, than each individual dream, of any race, does to each other.

    • @TheAsylumCat
      @TheAsylumCat 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Annis sorry. i was speaking of genetics, if the qunari dream differently then perhaps they have different magic.

    • @ingonyama70
      @ingonyama70 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      When a mage is made Tranquil, they lose their emotions and ability to dream. I'd imagine both are necessary for magic.

    I hope they make a DA game were i can be a villain, like play a tevinter magister open up the fade watch the world burn and recreate the old empire on top of the ashes...i've saved the world so many times in video games i think its time i get to be the "bad" guy (loved poisoning the water supply in fallout 3) well bad for everyone else good for tevinter.

    • @willl676
      @willl676 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** My theory is that the Black City was a prison, probably a prison for the Forgotten Ones (from the Elven Pantheon). The Magisters were tricked into going to it, and I suppose the City was booby trapped, it's corruption being some sort of failsafe measure, only it ended up creating the Darkspawn, and probably releasing The Forgotten Ones (which could be the cause for all the chaos and war that has happened in nearly 2 millenia after the Darkspawn first appeared).

    • @animelvr51
      @animelvr51 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1. yes, but there are things you should consider. firstly, would Tevinter want to stop it? I mean, it's a pretty good way of cataloging demons and spirits. also, any trained dreamer would be able to use their incredible powers on the world of thedas as well as the fade. opportunity Tevinter would definitely use to their advantage. secondly, the qunari would probably demand that everyone converted to the qun for their help. otherwise, they would just wait until the breach effected them as well.
      2. can't you help? I mean, your pretty much an expert on inter-planetary travel through magic. also, your staff-magic is f***'in awesome!

      Hmm, a possible explanation. Still, Sten's former companions, or rather, spirits imitating them are seen. So I'm sure some mages would see spirits taking the forms of qunari and mistaking them for real. Also, there are Qunari mages. THEY must go to the Fade, right?
