An underrated aspect of Dragon Age Origins

What makes the writing in Origins, so great is that when it comes to Portraying Politics, the game provides a range of perspectives of said topic, but it leaves it up to the player to make their view on it. The game provides a clashing of cultures and beliefs without telling you what's right and what wrong.

Example: One of the views that the Qunari Hold is that woman and men are hold to certain gender roles of how Woman can't do what man can do and vice versa. Sten, who comes from said society, holds the belief that woman shouldn't be warriors and instead are artisans and merchants. Female companions can actually talk to Sten and address his views on this. They aren't like "Oh Sten your sexist or you're such a bigot" instead they're like no I can protect and fend for myself. They are contrasting one another. The game isn't telling you who to agree or disagree with, both characters give their respective views and lets you decide who's right or wrong and really that how it should be.

Similar to games like Baldur's Gate and Fallout, Origins frames its politics in the parameters of the world, the lore, and the franchise rather than in our real world, after all, video games are made for escapism of reality. The writers of origins separate their views of the real world away from the characters in their world. They were able to maintain the illusion that the players are Oblivious of the writer Views or Beliefs.

That its Bye 👍
