…every thing in the city was tranquil, no mobs, no riots- no disorders… These Americans are a curious original people. They know how to govern themselves, but no one else can govern them.
British soldier describing Evacuation Day, November 25, 1783, the withdrawal of the British Army from New York City. Quoted in “Liberty’s Exiles: American Loyalists in the Revolutionary World” by Maya Jasanoff, p. 21

Haven’t been here in ages and haven’t been playing vidya much since Deadfire, but I guess the DA4 trailer inspired me to dust off my Origin account and replay DAI with my best girl, Rahel Lavellan. Experiencing the game as a cohesive whole with the DLC was heartbreaking. Meeting Ameridan and learning of his and Telana’s fate, then the Temple of Mythal and Solas’ departure, and finally Trespasser with its revelations… gah! This story saved Dragon Age for me. I really hope it gets its due in 4.

I have on the whole maintained that the average church, considered as a house of preaching, is a much more poisonous place than the average tavern.
