Description
Noliari isn't overly patient with shems sometimes(seriously though, how was it not an option to be all "wtf I'm an elf I already know this" and why on earth does your Dalish go "who's mythal" like goddamn she hasn't been away from her people THAT long)

The Daughter of an Elven Goddess might know more than an Elven hobo who learned in DAI: Trespasser that her entire history is wrong

Honestly, Morrigan's been needing this, just for GP, for about a minute now. XD

Yeah they really need to work on writing stuff from perspectives other than generic human,

This is why I never got around to finish Dragon Age.Β The amount of stupid in the scripts exceeded my limit.Β Β
Very neat comic.Β

Yeah, the developers totally effed that up. But they have Lavellan talk about why her clan has statues of Fen'harel. WTF, Weekes and all?

I've been loving Head Trip for years, that feels like decades sometimes (The Sorcerer's Apprentice strip always makes me smile/laugh) and the foray into Dragon Age is just as precious. Thank you for sharing this comedy gold.

So many games write all of their dialogue for the "default character race", then never go back and consider how all of the other character races would react.Β

Yeah...I can see my Dalish Inquisitor roiling her eyes during THAT part of the game...

I mean, to be fair to Morrigan, she's gotten her knowledge "closer to the source," shall we say, than Lavellan, but it is a bit annoying that we can't call her out on that -- especially since the rest of the game is pretty good at making each race have something important to things.

I LOVE THIS! This was pretty much my reaction when I walked in with Morrigan, Solas, and my full Mythal tattoos on my elven face. I'm sorry - are you going to "shem-splain" Mythal to me?

So does that mean that Noliari shut downΒ Morrigan for humansplaining?

I am in love with your drawing style - your way of drawing faces, expressions and hands is amazing and your colour choices are really something to look up to and learn from.
(And I love Noli. She's not only pretty, but also really cool. I'm not sure if I could live with her in a shared flat, but she'awesome nonetheless.

I've never thought about this before. Whether you're playing as a human, dwarf, lizard, minotaur, etc, you play as an adult with no knowledge about your history or culture.

They used to put stuff like that in the manual, but people stopped reading the manuals.

LOL! This kinda thing happens all the time in RPGs...Β

If you're in the habit of explaining things to people that don't know a lot. Sometimes you forget that other people know things too.
Teachers sometimes develop this problem...

Her expressions are perfect. XD I love this!

Well, to be fair, it's not like people know all their various gods. Β

*cackles*
I also love the whole thing with Solas talking about watching the dreams of my dwarf character while in the fade.

Oh, I did a bit about that too! the Dragon Age writers actually saw it, lol

Hehe, I actually made a dwarf to check that out after seeing your comic on it.Β

OH REALLY???
... So what did they say about their Blatant, Glaring Plot-Hole?

Patrick Weekes' exact words were "HAAAAAANDWAAAAAVE handwave handwave handwave! /exeunt Patrick, flailing arms wildly, pursued by a lore book"

... Well... at least there's a bright side to it.
We get the awesomely-drawn and hilarious comics.
... Meaning yours. Because I love them.

I don't mind so much since in my personal canon whilst my quizzy is technically a Lavellan, she didn't grow up among the Dalish (though she would still at least know who Mythal is, since she eventually found her clan and it's a tradition for the women in her family to have Mythal's vallaslin)
but for any of my non-canons, yes. this so hard.

Stop humansplaining! Β XD Β I love this so hard.

That is exactly how I felt while she was explaining everything. My distaste skyrocketed when she insisted she had more right to the well of sorrows then my dalish. Just, gtfo morrigan!Β

This should have been an option, it would have been so funny xD
π: 0 β©: 0
That was the biggest thing that had me going "Oh fucking COME ON!" although it is pretty damned funny to have Solas in the team at the same time as her. Β You can tell he's choking down 99% of what he wants to say for fear of giving himself away. Β ;D

very similar to how your dwarf Inquisitor doesn't question being in the fade at Adamant.Β
I guess some things either got lost in the maelstrom of content or they just didn't have time to finish out those details.
Still this is very funny. I'm enjoying your little series on the elfin Inquisitor. Β Also it is really good to see art and commentary from you again. We missed you.
