Dragon Age: Absolution - Mage vs Thieves Fight

Magister Rezaren Ammosine dominates.

[B.B.Digital_Forest]

I always wondered by mages in Dragon Age didn't use their staff for direct combat, except for Dorian. It must be a Tevinter thing.

[nitzan]

Rezaren was such a trip. Is he another maniacal-laughing Tevinter magister? A hero antagonist our heroes are pit against due to misunderstandings and ideological differences? A well-intentioned extremist who's path puts our heroes in his way? A NUANCED maniacal-laughing Tevinter magister?

His character really frames Dorian's deepest fear in a whole different way.

Love him or hate him Rezaren really came with it

[Glassie]

I remember getting so excited when I realized this was getting a series, sadly the story kinda fell short but the animation was fantastic

[JetpackingPenguin]

This man couldn't pass his harrowing and expected to successfully summon a spirit from beyond the veil.

I love magic casters! I love wizards! I love witches! I love colorful flashy combat! It fills me with serotonin!

[nono]

The story is a hit and a miss but this animation is PEAK

[wonderpizza]

He was the best character for me in the show.

[chriskoloski]

He started out so nice. Then he just devolved quickly. What was he gonna expect happen if neb was successfully brought back, that Neb would just be okay with him being alive? That he and his sister are basically forced to work for him? That he's OK that his mother basically shoved a demon down his throat?

[matix]

Rezaren - nice. he dont even use blood magic and he litelary wreckt 3 skilled warrios, and if he really wanted could easy killed Miriam.

[acuteoctogon]

I loved the intensity of this scene 0:13

[chriskoloski]

You'd think the Templars would be aware Neb was a walking corpse the entire time too. Like none of them were suspicious that he never talked or had any reactions for years?

[AgentZ]

Put some Respect on Rezaren's name!

I'm glad this game made the franchise prevalent in people's minds again 😊

0:59 Honestly love characters like Qwydion. Funny, bubbly, little klutsy... But is capable of turning you into a fucking stain if she has to

[Lethal_Giggles]

Dragon Age is one of those shows that always dabbles in the true Gray area. No one is truly good or evil here.

Rezaran truly saw both Neb and Miriam as his siblings and wanted to do anything to fix his family, but he was ultimately blind to the privileges his station carried, he couldn’t truly have the sibling relationship he wanted due to the influence of his mother and expectations society had of him as a prominent Magister. Miriam however only remembers the cruelty inflicted by Rezeran’s mother who always reminded her that she was nothing more than a slave, not a sibling, and I think she wrongly blames Rezeran for her brother’s death. Miriam forgets that Rezeran saved her by telling her to run away, technically, loopholing Tevinter laws just for her. Towards the end he only gets pissed because Miriam constantly thinks of herself as a slave and him as her master (due to the “teachings” of his mother) and as a result he gets pissed and treats her how she envisioned he would treat her.

Ultimately, I believe if both parties had sat down and had a rational conversation, things might have ended differently for everyone.

SPOILER WARNING

I find it wild, when she says -he- killed her family and that he's a snake, when she is the one that literally -stabbed his mom and her brother- while he was bubbled up/ being separated from a demon, and he rushed her to leave to save her life from the guards possibly going and killing her???? He really is trying to fix -her- mistake and she mad lol.

[zielj]

I just wish that she acknowledge that Rezaren probably wasn't safe from his mothers wrath as well and is likely traumatized. Im not saying he's just this misunderstood saint but he's damaged and he loved them if she add aknowlege that and tried to talk to him even if he still went the irrational route i still wanted her to have some compassion. also why would you not want your brother back smh.

[lozm]

Something I always liked about Dragon Age Inquisition (not sure to what degree this is the case for the other games) that's carried here is how kinetic spellcasting is. Qwydion gets in on this a bit too, but it's on full display here. He's practically a bender or a DnD monk, compared to Qwydion who in this particular fight behaves more like a more conventional 'Artillery' spellcaster.

This is how wizard should battle. Badass.
