        • Dragon 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_Webb
