Maker, though the darkness comes upon me,
I shall embrace the light. I shall weather the storm.
I shall endure.
What you have created, no one can tear asunder.

                                     —The Chant of Light: Trials 1:10

so there are just so many reasons why i love dragon age 2. because, despite its flaws, it was exhilarating to watch something be born, something new unfolding with my fingertips against the controls. it took apart what we knew as what we only thought we knew—about genre, about expectations, about family—and it was an exploration and experimentation of storytelling in its purest form: this raw, painful wound that it was.

but it had these moments—like the one captured in this piece. bigger, grander, than any of the pettiness surrounding it. throughout kirkwall’s dirty streets, the literal shit of empires hawke slogs through from gravesite to gravesite, what we played was this. epic. furious. powerful. frightening and beautiful and funny and sad. a balance of elements not just in terms of heroes and antiheroes, of characters and their foils, of funny and ambitious and embarrassing and awkward individuals, but in terms of shadowplay. sleight of hand and magic. varric’s choices as a writer. what he hid; what he showed by hiding.

people and plot devices.

varric knows that to make something bigger than life you have to start with something small. a single space. one city. one champion. one heart. one center. varric knows that in order to take your breath away while you’re immersed in the story, he has to fill your lungs with laughter first. that to have a burning light mean anything—a vein of lyrium; a pulse of spirit magic; the gleam and glister of the sun across a polished white breastplate—you have to first create a believable darkness. that to make a reader—a player—weep, humor’s your surest bet. that we can love while disagreeing. that within our hearts love itself is a dual-edged sword. a spirit of justice and vengeance, even.

that sometimes, you flip the coin and it doesn’t fall.

varric knows all this. but the best part is, you never see his cards—you just hear about his card games. and in the end, what you’re left with is a single image. not kirkwall burning—but what burned in kirkwall.

the whole game is iconoclasm. it’s the face of andraste hung over a once-scoundrel-turned-chantry-boy’s crotch. it’s both sides of the mirror. two sides to every history. it’s incomplete and it’s glorious. and it has—like every mirror—a frame.

and a moment of choice. how we choose to see, so different from how we choose to act.

varric could have told this secret story in a manner straightforward, somehow ‘pure.’ it could have been the great battle, sebastian standing against anders, the very air shimmering.

but instead, he hid that inside simpler lines. simpler lies. and when we read between them, just like this…

god, how fucking exquisite.
