When In Thedas

Hey y'all!We have risen from Andraste's Ashes to get back on our Dragon Age! In this more laid-back episode, we look over the recently announced companions for Dragon Age: The Veilguard as well as that gameplay preview. If this is your first time finding us, we recommend maybe starting with an older episode that has a bit more structure. If you're joining us again, we are so sorry for the wait! This will hopefully get us back in our groove and you will have more to see from us soon!Follow us on Twitter! @WhenInThedasPCArt by @meatcam_ Music: Tavern Loop 1 by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com)Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Hey y'all! Welcome back to another episode of When In Thedas! Today we'll be tackling Morrigan, Solas, the Elven Diaspora, and how all these elements interact with one another.  When playing Dragon Age, especially as an elven character, you've probably noticed the themes of racial conflict, clashing ideals between people who belong to the same minority, and division. With both of your hosts belonging to diasporas themselves, we decided to explore these aspects of the series through that lens. Pieces discussed include, but aren't limited to:Dragon Age: OriginsDragon Age: Origins: Witch HuntDragon Age: Inquisition (What Pride Had Wrought, The Final Piece)Thank you for tuning in, and we hope you enjoy your stay!

In this episode we discuss whitewashing: the action of taking a character who has brown skin and/or features associated with people of color and changing their appearance to be a white character.  You'll hear about different examples of this both in-game & in-fandom as well as why this subject is very important to be mindful of!Follow us on Twitter! @WhenInThedasPCArt by @meatcam_Music: Tavern Loop 1 by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com)Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
