I should stop watching these.

I know I should stop watching these.

I really, really, really, really should stop watching these.

But… they are getting better.

Incrementally.

This episode addresses several of the inconsistencies I had issues with: Tallis’s combat skills, the fact she was a slave before, her less-than-complete acceptance of all tenants of the Qun. It even namedrops Cassandra (although bugger me if I could decipher what that gal was actually saying about her, or why common Qunari and low-ranking Templars would know that she is the head of the SUPER SEKRIT organization, the Seekers).

Although the line “Can’t you see she’s a Reaver?” did happen. (Because yeah, dumbass Templar, how could you possibly miss her giant “I’m a Reaver” button pinned to her lapel? Or that giant “The Blood of My Enemies Is Yummy!” trucker hat? I thought Reavers were supposed to be SUPER SEKRIT too?).

Still, I do think they’re getting ever-so-slightly better. Or maybe I’m just getting used to the pain.

This one is less painful to watch than the last one, even it continues to perpetrate “LOL, WHUT?” moments re: lore (in this case, game mechanics re: reavers). I like Nyree, though. She says she “even fought beside mighty Templar Cassandra, once” best I could tell.
