Also, I really hated the Dalish and their belligerent attitude. Just because humans screwed over their ancestors they act overly hostile to all humans they see, regardless of said human's intention.
Hawke: Morning Mr Elf. Nice day we're having.
Dalish: Piss off shem! You're not welcome here!
Hawke: o_0
Hah! I felt the same way. Hell, that's the entire reason I always kept Fenris and Merril in my party at all times. Every now and then Merril would start telling Fenris about how sad it is that he didn't get to live with the Dalish and he'd respond by thoroughly insulting them.
The Dalish have every right to be angry though. They had everything and lost because of humans. Not one or two specific humans but because of the race as a whole. Same in the Witcher, Iorveth may have lost sight of his goal due to his hatred but when you see what the humans have brought the elves down to you understand when you here them curse Bledae Dhoine. I have a soft spot for species fucked over like that like elves and Eldar.
Maybe, but most of that was hundreds, even thousands of years before the events of Dragon Age. What's more if I remember the second Exalted March primarily came about because of their outright refusal to allow the Chant of Light to be practiced within their lands, which was not only stupid, but just plain rude. Well, that and one particularly stupid raiding party gave he Chantry just the excuse they needed. Still, this could have been avoided.
I'm just saying there's no call for them to be as dickish as they are. A little angry? Yes. Somewhat hostile towards outsiders? Perfectly understandable. Having all but a handful of the people in your camp constantly alternate between insulting me, or claiming that they're looking for any possible excuse to kill me? Despite the fact that I've done nothing but try to help them? All over things that happened generations before I was born?
No. No, I'm going to bring along the former slave that endured horrible torture and heartache at the hands of a human mage, fought for his freedom and then proceeded to start a new life in the city without acting like a hateful little prick to every "shem" he comes across (Mages are a different matter though) with me. And he will mock you.
