We invited Tanya DePass of I Need Diverse Games and the Fresh Out of Tokens Podcast to chat with us about Dragon Age and answer a whole lot of listener questions.What we've been up to (00:07:28)Tanya (@cypheroftyr) Final Fantasy XV Skyrim Special Edition Watch Dogs 2 Hip Hop Evolution NK Jemisin’s The Fifth SeasonRiley (@kaleri_) Overwatch Heroes of the Storm Descendents of the Sun Rogue One Princess Mononoke The Weeknd Starboy album It's Our Turn PodcastPam (@jasyla_) Dead Rising 4 Epistory: Typing Chronicles Black Close The Ghost Girl in the CornerDragon Age (00:28: 05) What is Dragon Age? How did we get into Dragon Age? How the series progresses Templars vs Mages Thoughts in representation of PoC in DA? The character creator is certainly getting better but the only NPCs of color seem to be human (unless I’m misremembering). Why not dwarves and elves? @The_Doc_Webb Tanya's article on representation in Dragon Age Which secondary character have you been the most sad not to be able to smooch? @mk_patter Varic writes books. Mordin sings in plays. What hobbies or side jobs do you envision your other DA and ME buds having? @OrkChop Best party composition for entertaining banter? Love the party members snarking at each other while we’re roaming around! @thornmallow DA is a series with really high stakes and where humanity (unlike in Mass Effect) is not that special. Do you appreciate that about it? @MtoAllPro Is there a moment in any DA that always makes you cringe (for any reason) playing through it? @TimpoAdante DA:O's Deep Roads, "A good way to spend an afternoon" or "Is there an end to this"? What did you think? @estelliaslair In your mind are the Wardens good guys, bad guys, neither, and why? I see them more as a necessary evil than anything else. Thus why my warden was super evil and a jerk. @MtoAllPro Are you disappointed that we never get to experience the Warden's adventures in DA:I (as seen in Leliana quests)? @estelliaslair Is the Inquisition set to be good for later games or will it be corrupted like the Wardens, Templar, Circles and every other organization. @MtoAllPro Which DA do you feel has the best story? Does it also have the best characters? @TimpoAdante Most bittersweet romance? My vote is for a devout Inquisitor romancing Cassandra as she becomes Divine. @The_Doc_WebbIf you’ve got any feedback, questions, people or topics you’d like to hear on future episodes of the show, you can reach out at [email protected] or on Twitter @_MediaMavens.
