    It never occurred to me how much the elves had fallen and how much of a social impact it had on Thedas. I was always focused on the mage vs templar controversy I overlooked it. This video really shines a light on the issue, and it makes me wonder who suffered the most scrutiny? An elf or a mage? And being both, the person has such a heavy burden, like Fiona in The Calling. It's so sad. :(

    Thanks for tuning in! The support for this show has been overwhelming, and just by watching this episode you're endorsing its creators to continue. For the next 9 weeks the primary goal of this show will be to introduce viewers to the DA universe to catch them up for the release of Inquisition later this year. You'll find the episodes jam-packed as we try our best to sum up the entire franchise with the short time given to us before the game's release. As with every Lore Series, some information will be sacrificed as we are working within certain time constraints. For a more in-depth look at Thedas, visit the lore master who writes for this series @ th-cam.com/users/ladyxinsanity
    Question of the Week: Unlike the elves of many other fantasy settings, the elves of the Dragon Age setting are not high and haughty. They're not antagonistic towards dwarves either. Of all the elves you've encountered across this franchise, which character was your favorite or the most interesting?

    Comparing Lore is subjective. Elder Scrolls lore is longer lived but also contradictory as lore was not enforced between games. Dragon age is a shorter lived title but the lore is consistent between games for the most part. Both have rich and deep lore worthy of sharing.

    • @Ahourigan
      @Ahourigan 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      FrogRaider1 You're dead right about that. Ten years and several production teams and writers leads to a ton of inconsistencies in TES--on the other hand, real life history is very much the same way.

    • @tenryubito
      @tenryubito 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      The contradiction among sources is what make it great for me, tho. Every source has their own version of story, they make it that way so they can hide the real truth like the matter of Tribunal godhood or simply because they don't have a full knowledge about it like the disappearance of the Dwemer. Dragon age has some similar things too in its lore maybe not as much but that's understandable because it's not as big as The Elder Scrolls. So, in my opinion both of them are good in their own way.

    I don't generally like elvish cultures in high fantasy settings because they're all the same; aloof, highbrow holier-than-thous with vast magical powers, better swordsmanship and archery than every other race ever, ungodly perfect hair and clothing, etc. They look down their perfect aquiline noses, either explicitly or implicitly, at the lesser races who don't live as one with nature, or the Light, or whatever. They remind me of snobby priests.
    The Dragon Age elves, on the other hand, are a great analogy for racial stereotyping across all its branches. Some vocations, like the mages of the Circle Tower, seem more than all right with having elves alongside them; being a brother mage is more important than being an elf. They're treated like equals, and elves aren't assumed to be any better at magic than any other race.
    Everywhere else, they're treated like dirt. I've only rarely had a more powerful reaction to a video game than I did when playing my female City Elf's origin. Killing that Arl's son at the end (and taking his clothes, because they were gaudy but looked wonderful on my character) was immensely, absolutely cathartic, and an experience I treasure to this day.

    • @Ladyinsanity
      @Ladyinsanity 10 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      The female city elf origin completely baffled me. I've always played games where the elves were OP like you say. I loved the origin - it was raw and drew me in to how elves were in the world. Was a hell of an experience the first time I played through.

      You and Curt Clark may be interested in the Witcher games as well then, in it the elves have a somewhat similar role as the ones in Dragon Age (albeit more impactful in my opinion). I feel it does a better job of portraying the struggles between various races and political entities though, since the elven rebels can be shown as both heroes who fight for freedom and terrorists who commit the same crimes that they accuse humans of.

    • @scarypanda19
      @scarypanda19 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I rather like how elves here there not some uber perfect people like they are in lots of other fantasy. I also like how they are in elder scrolls. There are variations and all elven species are different and for example the high elves while seeing themselves as better then men (like other fantasy's) but this time the act on it and are much more belivable about it (threataning genocide of human race and general snobness.) And then there are the dark elves who also act a bit differnt than generic fantasy elves do. In case yoy didnt notice im a huge Elder Scrolls fan. Havent played dragon age yet but I am certanly going to before inquisition comes out. (Excuse gramatical errors I typed this on my phone)

    • @ingonyama70

      Elder Scrolls has an impressive variety of elves.
      I like that in Skyrim, the High Elves' arrogance has led to war, and the Aldmeri Dominion is treated as a villainous threat on the level of the (Star Wars) Empire.
      I also like that there are High Elves who aren't arrogant, but live among society like normal people and don't flaunt their 'better'-ness to everyone.
      The Wood Elves used to be annoying, but again, Skyrim has made them intriguing. Not having an Adoring Fan helps too.
      And the Dark Elves are one of the most sophisticated, tormented, flawed, and fascinating fantasy cultures I've ever come across. I LOVE them as much as I hate other kinds of Elves.
      I don't know much about the Snow Elves, but I'm interested to learn. I have a lot more of Dawnguard to play, as soon as I get over my crippling fear of Chaurus.
      Even the Orcs and Dwarves are/were Elves, and this juxtaposition is handled so brilliantly in the case of the Orcs...
      Yeah, let's just say I'm big on Elder Scrolls, too.

    @Aristocles22 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The fact that events even can be narrated like this shows just how much railroading DA has. It's telling you what the character has happen to him, not what you, they player, can make happen. It's the difference between hitting a punching bag and being hit like a punching bag.
    The only time Skyrim has anything close to "but this must happen to you" is in the Thieves Guild questline, in a ruin. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Very different from the rest of the game by a wide margin. I suppose the scene with you visiting Miraak for the first time sorta counts like this too, but you can always choose to enter that book again.

    I feel for the elves, all elves of Thedas. City elves; ignorant, forgetful, appeasing, second-class citizenship, treated no better than casteless dwarves and poor humans. Dalish elves; passive-aggressive to others, talented in magic, hopeful yet pessimistic at the same time, powerful yet lost in the woods, clinging to the past while not even trying to help others change the entire race's future. Among the elves we meet in-game are Zevran Arainai of Antiva, Merrell and her Ferelden-based clan led by Marethari who move outside of Kirkwall, Zathrian and his Dalish clan in the Brecilian Forest, Fenris of Tevinter, Sera of Orlais, Solas the rift mage, Tallis of the Qunari, and many more.

    Hi. New to the universe of Dragon Age and I thought I'd learn about lore before getting into the game. Unfortunately I am on console and my first Dragon Age game will be Inquisition, the others aren't available on PS4. This video heavily influenced my character choice to be an Elf and I'm glad. After watching this video, I'm completely disgusted by humans and wouldn't wanna play as one. I also made my Elven a mage too as I also felt disgusted on how they are treated. I purposely made a Elven mage because I heard your race and class influence how people perceive you and I want that. These videos have really gotten me emotionally invested and ready to play the game. Just finished making my character and she is ready to embrace this harsh world. I already did my Dragon's Keep and I'm ready to make some stupid decisions out of anger of my mistreatment.

    The exalted march of the dales happened centuries later after the land was given to them. Not years later. It happened after either the second or third blight because the elves of the dales did nothing to help a city in Orlais that was being attacked by the darkspawn. They just watched as it happened. That is what started the tension and spiraled downhill from there

    Ashe | Lady Insanity Which part are you most looking forward to writing? I know I'm most looking forward to Chapter 4

    • @Ladyinsanity
      @Ladyinsanity 10 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      The Inquisition chapter. I got some fire for that one. I wish I could have given the justice I wanted for the magic chapter, but it's so hard to talk about magic when every nation has such a different view on it.

      I can definitely see that. Excellent work so far

      Ashe | Lady Insanity Really good. Glad you're with Shoddy Cast.
      I was wondering if there would be an episode dedicated to the Qunari.

    i whole heartedly support this and am aware of how much time effort and work must be put in to achieve this, but to be completly honest, 10 chapters seam a little bit limiting for the amount of things in Dragon Age. Also you forgot to have Quinari in the list, or are you going to cover that in the Nations chapter?

    I wish there were more good games with great lore, I feel like there isn't enough cool, different, and unique lore in video games. And heck, Dragon Age Origins looked real generic at first, but the Quinari, the weird church girl, and The Dwarven government, really helped me stick in there to enjoy some of the more unique aspects of the series. That said I only played origins, because I much prefered the origin stories, and intro sequences to most of the rest of the game. I played all the origin stories but only finished the full story 2 or 3 times.

      The Qun is like Diego said more of a religion then a race. The qunari meaning the people of the qun, a Qunari ould be human as well.

    I loved the video, but hope they would do more, because Dragon Age lore is so vast that it0s impossible to explain even the most basic things in 6 minutes. Lady Insanity did an amazing job with the time she had though

    • @garysanders6091
      @garysanders6091 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Andrey Baldove Play Inquisition if you haven't already. I don't want to spoil anything but the end of the game is heavy in new elven lore.

    • @rawr3122
      @rawr3122 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gary Sanders I already played it.. BTW Thanks, I didn't know you did not want to spoil. Can you make videos that's for people who played the game?

    • @garysanders6091
      @garysanders6091 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Andrey Baldove Okay! Spoilers Then
      fen'harel (aka Solus) sent the elven 'gods' into the fade and created the veil in order to free the ancient elven people from said 'gods'.
      According to Fen'Harel, the elven gods were basically just really powerful mages that decided to use their powers to oppress the lesser peoples. The dalish tattoo is a recreation of the slave markings from the gods themselves.
      So basically even if they had contact with their gods, I'm not sure they'd be apt to help them.. With exception to Fen'Harel or maybe Mythal..

    • @rawr3122
      @rawr3122 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gary Sanders But Mythal was a spirit, she isn't a mage...

    • @garysanders6091
      @garysanders6091 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Andrey Baldove No.. Mythal was definitely a mage. There is a theory that the gods were 'spirits' but it is based around VERY loose translations to coles extremely ambiguous statements. Actual lore states she was a mortal mage.
      Mythal was one of the Evanuris, mortal mages who enslaved their kin and branded them with their vallaslin.[8] Unlike the other pretender gods, she was a voice of reason and genuinely cared for her people.[9]

      @Ladyinsanity 10 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Not at all. I could write a full episode on Qunari, but sadly not a chapter for this series due to time constraints.

      Ashe | Lady Insanity too bad, the qunari are the coolest! there culture is a complete opposite to human culture. they dont even use names, they are what they do. its so dumb that people even use the name "kossit"
