In the world of Thedas, there are some questions better left unanswered like... What Is This Dragon Age?

If you're new to the Dragon Age Series (which can also be abbreviated as THEDAS), you may not have realized yet that they may very likely be the Canon Universe race for most games in the series. These story writers LOVE elves. In this episode of How to Act Fereldan, your podcast field guide to all things Dragon Age, we'll dive just so deep into the elven lore and pantheon... PLEASE DON'T SPOIL THE BIG THING ABOUT ONE OF THE GO...
Mages are to playable classes as elves are to playable races in Dragon Age—don't boo me, I'm right! This episode of How to Act Fereldan is chock full of now-stale series news (but still relevant to the episode topic) and the deepest dive into the magic system you've ever seen.
Fine dwarven castes! Direct from Orzammar! Giancarlo and his Hug House Hero of Fereldan have made it through the Orzammar questline, so obviously we have to talk about what even is going on with the dwarves in this game. Also, we mention in this episode that there are no romance-able dwarves in the series, but it was recorded in June 2023, before we knew that the gorgeous gorgeous girl Scout Lace Harding could be romanced in the up...
This episode of How To Act Fereldan takes a lovely journey outside of Fereldan... to Tevinter? And as Wil continues to be baffled by the concept of time in Thedas, Giancarlo is rapidly approaching the end of Origins! We're almost there, folks!

We made it! It's been a wild introduction to the Dragon Age series for Giancarlo and he's leaving full of Dragon Age Romance Trauma, courtesy of Morrigan. :) That totally won't come back to haunt him in later games, right? :)

Welcome to How to Act Fereldan, your podcast field guide to all things Dragon Age. This week, we finally start DRAGON AGE 2. It's time for this game to make Giancarlo insane, too.

Welcome to How to Act Fereldan, your podcast field guide to all things Dragon Age. This week, we break Giancarlo's heart with news that you can't romance Varric, and we dive into the absolutely messed up history of the worst town in Thedas.
News:
- This is when they changed then name of the game!!!
- We also got the first trailer and some gameplay for Veilguard.

Let it be known that Anne still objects to this episode title, but its release is here and we don't have a better option. That's right, this week in How to Act Fereldan, your podcast field guide to all things Dragon Age, we're talking about the Qunari.
Dragon Age News:
Sorry to all the Anders fans. We're Fenris Girlies (gender neutral) for Life. This week, we poorly debate whether Anders or Fenris is the better love interest, and also Giancarlo braves the DEEP ROADS.
Dragon Age News:
- ??? Wil didn't include any in the notes doc, so... sorry!

Don't be deceived by the goofy title—this week we talk about how fucked up the lore behind lyrium is... and then Giancarlo tells us about his experience of the All That Remains quest! Yaaaay! [confetti emoji]
Dragon Age News:
This week on How to Act Fereldan, we get... way to philosophical. Don't think too hard about the lore, you'll just hurt yourself like we did.
Dragon Age News:
We finally make it out of Kirkwall! Giancarlo finished the game and we look back on our thoughts and his decisions. Also I think we accidentally became Anders apologists? Don't think too hard about it.
- What's that Dragon Age?
- and then we realized that was AI and picked a SECOND ONE
