Okay but in all seriousness the way you described the dark spawn appearing for the first time literally made my skin crawl. Very well narrated.

Noble hunters...I ain't sayin' she's a lyrium digger, but she ain't messin' with no casteless pickaxe swinger..."

I really hope that Dwarves get the same treatment that Elves got in Inquisition. I did my first DA:I as an elf, but now I'm a bigger fan of playing as a dwarf. I hope that the next game has more dwarven lore because it is just as rich and complex as the Elven lore. Same goes for the Qunari. I want to know more about what their society was like before the Qun. What were they running from when they came here to Thedas?

You sound like you belong in the world of Dragon Age narrating some opening to a new game. This just makes it even better. Keep it up man!

Honest question, we are aware that most dwarves are immune to magic and dwarves are unable to be mages. But, we also know Lyrium processing has been a part of Dwarven society for a long long time. Could lyrium have caused a type of extinction to mage dwarves? This mass effect could have been removed by the shaperate, as it's not the first thing they 'forgot' because it made the empire look bad.

I love the Dwarven lore in DA. Honestly probably the most interesting people in DA in my opinion.

You covered all dwarven lore that was revealed in the last 3 games. Very detailed video. But the ancient dwarven lore is yet to reveal in the upcoming Dragon Age 4. I don't think the next hero and inquisitor can persuade or stop Solas's Plan without ancient dwarves secret weapon or magic. Dragon Age Inquisition was a game that expanded the Elven lore significantly even the logo of that game resembles green which We associate with Elven lore but the Dragon age 4 logo is yellow and Red Which signifies Dwarves and Ancient Tevinter Imperium. I am certain these factions will be at the centre point in the next game. Thanks for making these detailed videos. I hope you will continue this work. Please make your next video on either Grey Wardens or Tevinter Imperium. Executors race is also an interesting subject.

I like how unlike the elder scrolls the dwarves are actually dwarves in dragon age

[SuzumeMizuno]

I've always wanted to know more about the lore of the dwarves in DA and you make it so easy to understand, and it's really funny to feel you are taking a lecture! Thank you so much for your hard work! <3

BioWare needs to get you a job bro you spoke the lore very eloquently and you just earned a new sub keep up the good work

[fullmetalpoitato]

Been giving Inquisition another go after never finishing it back when it came out. Taking my time, not worrying about completing EVERYTHING, and most importantly....I'm actually reading the codex entries I'm picking up along the way. I tell ya what, the games themselves are a bit of a mixed bag but the LORE is just so amazing and so rich. Kudos to the writers that created the realm of Thedas, it's a fascinating place to explore!

Dwarves have always been my favorite faction in any high fantasy setting

I would love in the next dragon age if you get an option to help out the dwarves in continuing to retake lost territory or if you can help a specific dwarves general become a paragon or something with his life’s mission to lead an army to Karl Sharok not to invade but to reconquring the deep roads between orzammar and the thaig

I don’t know I just love dwarves

[Courier_Eris]

This has been a great series so far. I've played all the games from the beginning and I'm still learning so much from these!! Thank you for taking the time to make this simply for your passion and our viewing pleasure!

[CatastrophicDisease]

Your videos are eloquent, thoughtful, and entertaining all in one. This is the channel that fans of the Dragon Age series have needed for years.

[klimopeter]

Again, a great and very informative presentation. I'm surprised that you managed to make such a long video aboutthe dwarves, considering there's significantly less lore about them compared to the Elves and Humans. Nonetheless, it was definitely worth the wait. Keep doing what you're doing, I really appreciate that there's finally someone who is fully dedicated to making dragon age lore content.

[geeteshm]

If it makes Al-goh Rhythm happy I shall say that your video was an excellent work and i will show it through my act of subscription. Great lore video👍

[reisjunior]

I just wanted to say that I'm binge watching this channel so hard LOL

[EwigesEiszeit]

Thank you so much for this. It is always a treasure to watch your lore videos. This made me appreciate the dwarves even more.
