No one ever mentions how much Dragon Age rips off from other properties. Yeah all fantasy trash is ultimately derivative, I’m not complaining DA has elves and orcs cause omg Tolkien. But check this out:
Psykers Mages are dangerous because their powers are linked to the Warp Fade. The Fade is a dimension full of daemons demons that is influenced by the collective subconscious of most living things mortal dreams. Demons reflect primeval emotions/concepts such as lust, aggression, fear of death, and the pursuit of knowledge/change emotions such as desire, rage, despair, and pride. Mages who fuck up invite demonic possession and other potentially disastrous consequences. To regulate mages, the Adeptus Astra Telepathica Circle of Magi tracks down mages at a young age and recruits them for training to make sure they don’t kill everyone around them by accident. Rogue mages are hunted down by the Inquisition Inquisition.
Anyone with a basic familiarity with Warhammer 40k will see what I’m getting at. DA also heavily rips of the Witcher too (funny since the first Witcher used, of all things, the Neverwinter Nights engine).
