I love seeing ppl say they're intrigued by MakoAnn as a concept. I hope one day they become very popular. Did you u know they can also be shuake if u think hard enough
people who dont have cats are always like oh but they are so aloof and unattached. then why is my cat trying to break down my bathroom door when im in the shower
When I think of Custas, I'm reminded of this quote: "I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould
Personally I would suggest if you're THAT opposed to playing origins then start with Dragon Age Two. It's the shortest, it eases you into the lore the best, and sets up inquisition in a way that you won't be blindsided by lore when you enter Haven
But play Dragon Age Origins
I hope I'm not popular enough for this to blow up but I just saw someone say they're glad they started w dai instead of dao and my hot take is that you get a bad impression of the world starting with dai and it can hella cloud ur understanding of the series as a whole
