A common complaint ive seen about dragon age inquisition is about its roleplay capacities

Specifically about the way the origins dont really affect the narrative when perhaps they should, and the lack of meaningfull control over your characters story

And while i think thats honestly a good criticism, it might unintentionally be a really good framing for the inquisitor

Because, as has been going around a bit,

the narrative is a bitch.

Your inquisitor isnt lavellan, or cadash or adaar or trevelyan

Your inquisitor is

The inquisitor.

Their identity before is removed from them, they are stripped of their autonomy (because look they ARE captive and they CANNOT refuse their position, not really)

And they are put into the position of an unwilling martyr

An icon of a religion they may or may not even be apart of

A symbol for things they might not believe

Because it doesnt matter if they believe

It doesnt matter who they are

Theyre a symbol

And the people believe

The inquisitors feelings dont matter to the narrative, nor the people

As long as they keep smiling and waving and doing their job

I feel like whenever I watch an animated show (usually in its second season) it’s something along the lines of this

The episode has ended, I’m staring in shock at the screen. I’m either crying or too emotional to do anything. I’ve lost faith in humanity, the only god that holds power over me is the ghosts of my past. My soul is just a husk of itself. All is lost.

And then credits roll while a jovial ukulele (or maybe a banjo) tune plays with some cheerful whistling

And I’m just left trying to recover from what I just watched

Thanks for the help! I'll check out that website when I get the chance!

I know I have trauma that really affected me, I just have a hard time with knowing how much and shit.

Random, but can any systems/plural beings talk about how they figured out that they are plural?

DID, OSDD, endo, etc. Any version of systems or plurals

I have questioned DID or something similar to just myself and 1 or 2 friends irl before. I'm unsure if my trauma was "enough" or happened at "the right time" or whatever to be able to cause a dissociative disorder.

If anyone has any websites or similar things to suggest to help me, pls send me them.

I mostly try and stay out of plural/system things cause once again I am unsure if I am one in any way. And to go into a community that I am not sure I am in feels off.

Using I/me/my/etc. sometimes feels wrong, and we/us/our/etc. feel right even if just referring to "me." But sometimes I/me/my/etc. feels fine/right, so idk.

Please give me advice or at least share your experiences if you're able/willing to. Thanks
