"In many ways, Veilguard is a bigger disappointment than Anthem was. Like, if I was to hand LeBron a tennis racket, I'd expect to see some pretty shitty tennis. BioWare never had any business making a looter shooter. ... But if I hand LeBron a basketball, I expect to see some fuckin' points on the board."

"And so is the Golden City blackened With each step you take in my Hall. Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting. You have brought Sin to Heaven And doom upon all the world."

"The Chantry teaches us that it is the hubris of men which brought the darkspawn into our world. The mages had sought to usurp Heaven. But instead, they destroyed it. They were cast out, twisted and cursed by their own corruption. They returned as monsters, the first of the darkspawn. They became a blight upon the lands, unstoppable and relentless. The dwarven kingdoms were the first to fall. And from the deep roads, the darkspawn drove at us again and again, until finally we neared annihilation... until the Grey Wardens came. Men and women from every race, warriors and mages, barbarians and kings, the Grey Wardens sacrificed everything to stem the tide of darkness, and prevailed. It has been four centuries since that victory, and we have kept our vigil. We have watched and waited for the darkspawn to return. But those, who once called us heroes, have forgotten. We are few now, and our warnings have been ignored for too long. It may even be too late, for I have seen with my own eyes what lies upon the horizon. Maker help us all."

"In War, Victory. In Peace, Vigilance. In Death, Sacrifice."

"For Ferelden!"

"You are required to do nothing, least of all, believe."

"Have you ever licked a lamppost in winter?"

"Not listening! La la la la la!"

"Andraste forgive me. But you Morrigan, are a bitch. A cruel, cruel bitch!"

"It rhymes... 'tis a rhyming tree."

"Men are always willing to believe two things about a woman: one, that she is weak, and two, that she finds him attractive."

"Pigeon crap!"

"Enchantment? Enchantment! Enchantment! [Claps]"

"I like the stories where the villain was the man beside you the whole time. The best villains don’t see themselves as evil. They’re fighting for a good cause and willing to get their hands dirty."

"No real god need prove himself. Anyone who tries is mad or lying. His deception will undo him, as it has done countless fools before."

"I never worry, darling. A leash can be pulled from either end."

"It is dangerous when too many men in the same armor think they're right."

"Alas, so long as the music plays, we dance."

"I have seen the Throne of the Gods, and it was empty!"

"It started with a war. War breeds fear. Fear breeds a desire for simplicity. Good and evil. Right and wrong. Chains of command. After the war ended, generals became respected elders, then kings, then finally gods. The Evanuris."

"I don't hate you because you're a mage. I hate you because you won't shut up about it."

"Sour ale, vomit, and the smell of desperation."
