Some new character insight into DA:TV's Neve Gallus, and the Shadow Dragons faction -

Text reads: "As Neve Gallus is the companion I spend the most time with during my visit to BioWare, I asked Epler about this character and her role in the game. Here's what I learned: "So Neve is a private investigator in Minrathous. Minrathous is the capital city of the Tevinter Empire. It’s also a mage-ocracy; mages run the entirety of the Empire – they’re all-powerful. A lot of them still believe in slavery, they keep slaves, it’s a very oppressive, totalitarian regime. And Neve is a member of the Shadow Dragons, which is a rebel faction within Thedas that fights back against this mage-ocracy, fights back against this oppressive, very damaging regime that’s taken over the city, because she believes there’s good, and she is there for the common people. So if you’re not a mage in Tevinter, you are lower than dirt for a lot of people. She and the Shadow Dragons, in general, fight back, but Neve, in particular, is this character that represents this more, ‘voice of the streets, the voice of the common people.’ In previous Dragon Age games, you go to Orlais, you meet Emperor Celene, you meet Briala; we wanted to have a character that showed not just what is Tevinter at the top, but what is the average person who lives in Tevinter. And she is very much about, again, fighting oppression, fighting tyranny and, as a private investigator, finding clues and ways through problems that aren’t maybe as action-focused as some of the other companions.""

She was so fucking cool in the movie dude

I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about the dynamics between one of the Bound and their geist, the weird and terrifying intimacy of a body shared between its owner and a thing so changed by time and the essence of death it is nearly alien.

It’s the kind of relationship that is both incredibly distant and intensely personal. Two strangers occupying the same vessel, and getting glimpses of one another’s thoughts just by the sheer closeness of that.

From the Bound’s perspective, she is the specter always there, watching and judging him, replacing his conscience, since he can’t help but evaluate himself through her eyes rather than his own.

From the geist’s, he’s the still-beating heart that makes her remember the pain, the purpose, the potential— it was lost to her, but now he is what keeps her tied to this world that has changed so much over so many long, silent years.

Those perspectives blur, and while neither loses themselves, they do gain the other. It is horror, to never be alone; it is bliss, to never be abandoned again.
