[BONUS] WOULD Episode 1: Dragon Age
Amanda Schuckman (Sons and Sonsability) and Anthony Burch (gay porn) rank all of the characters in Dragon Age based on who they would most like to have as a boyfriend. Based off this Kotaku article, this is the first episode of what might be a series (if anyone listens to it and likes it), or it might be the only version of this concept you ever get.

Listening to someone talk about their love for dragon age is so nice. It’s my favorite game series of all time 😭💕
OMG THE GILMORE GIRLS PULL I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY
The Loghain slander kills me. If you recruit him and actually try to get to know him, you don't have to read the book to understand why he hates Orlais specifically and is so focused on ensuring that they never occupy Ferelden again. Give my favorite dilf a chance, he'd be A+ boyfriend material... as long as you're fine with playing second fiddle to Maric and Ferelden.
I had fun listening to it!
My only problem with Alistair is that only human females can be queen. I forget if mages are also not able to be queen but dwarf warden all the way so
I liked this, did they ever end up making more?
Anthony’s opinion on Cassandra is crazy wrong lol
Weirdo and pervert here who enjoyed the fuck outta this.
I love this so much. And delighted there is a second episode! Couldn't agree more about Jack, crucial to my bisexual awakening. It felt like Bioware broke my gaydar.
Disclaimer, I've only played Dragon Age 1 and 2, and got maybe 30% into Inquisition. But as a Domme, Alistair was definitely the top choice for me (he literally makes you a Queen) and it hurt my heart to see him dismissed as boring. Sweet, dorky and lets you make all the decisions is kind of my type lol I think I'm also salty because sub girls get an explicit Dom character in Iron Bull and I'm out here scavenging for crumbs trying to find submissive-coded male characters, because the options are limited.
Also why not turn this into like a March madness version where at the end of the series you just take all the ones that won and then put them 1v1 against eachother until you have an MVP
Hey so like what about best horror films version like Terrifier, the clown or David Warwick’s the leprechaun
My girlfriend and I stayed up an extra two hours to listen to this, she loves Dragon Age as a core to her identity and I have never played or consumed anything Dragon Age. Make more. She wants you to do women of Dragon Age 2
Back in the day, I got so invested in my relationship with Alistair that on my first playthrough when he broke up with me because I didn’t do his side quest right and he wouldn’t let me be his side piece, I reloaded back and lost about 8 hours of playtime. I’ve never been that invested in a romance story before lol
For what it’s worth, I’ve never played Dragon Age or even really seen gameplay, and I really enjoyed this! I just love hearing people talk about their passions
Are we thinking borderlands would be a good pick for this show ?
Hello i listened to this with my friend recently with my friend and he adored it >< But we both desperately agree we would love a Girlfriends ranking aswell for this and mass effect after listening to this! Especially needing Amanda's insight!! Love you!!!
Amanda and I living the same Blackwall->Cullen pipeline fantasy!
LOVE
You could do a date everything episode?
I would love this!
Every time I start to doubt that this podcast was made in a lab specifically for me, y'all release something that is so catered to my niche interests that it's actually astounding. (If you guys do this again, I'd recommend Mass Effect simply because I want to see where y'all stand on the Kaidan/Garrus debate)
Please do more!!
Iron bull is the only correct answer
Have I ever played Dragon Age? No. Did I even know what Dragon Age was before I came across this? No. Did I listen to this entire episode and would I continue to listen to Anthony and Amanda talk about anything endlessly? Yes.
Just another comment to say I loved this and would definitely enjoy more!
This was great to listen to while cooking, even though idk much about dragon age. What about an episode on Rune Factory?
Yeah this rules
Amazing idea for a podcast! Fun talking about video games and cute boys but also interesting discussions about relationships :)))) and ofc Anthony and Amanda are just perfect :))) and hilarious :)))))) Please make this a podcast! Idek anything about dragon age but I had a great time :) WOULD listen 10/10
Keep it going, I already love where this has started from
oh no is this about to make me play dragon age for the first time……
Anthony and Amanda - do you think you’ll do more of these? 🙏here’s hoping🙏
I am so sad that this is about a franchise I’ve never played because I WOULD listen to this about so many different franchises
Okay after listening to the episode despite not having played any Dragon Age I’d like to confirm that it doesn’t matter at all and I would listen to this about any franchise just to imagine great boyfriends
This is such a fun episode (I'm late!) but you're both soooo extremely wrong about Taash bc theyre hyper obnoxious and I'd honestly rather them be cis at this point. I've been an open and out NB for 15 years and I truly wished I could purge them from my party. Their writing was BADDDDD
This is my favorite cross over, love it
110% would listen to this as its own podcast or as a daddies bonus series!
Nah these are super fun I would love this as movie characters in certain movies
Solas will forever be my best bald boy 😔✋ i will not tolerate solas slander
I would love to hear more of these. I know it’s a shot in the dark but I would loooooove to hear one of these on the Fire Emblem romances
Please let's see skyrim, stardew valley, and like minecraft mobs haha🙏 this is so good
Listen. When I saw this notification I lost my goddamn mind. This is everything I could ever hope for.
I loved this and hope to see more. Iron Bull is empirically the correct choice, so nicely done. Skyrim, Stardew, Baldur's Gate obviously. And of course the femmes of DA.
Oh, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla 😁🥵
devastated when Zevran got eliminated but he never stood a chance against the Iron Bull
The next episode should be homestuck 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 I scream from the super mega pervert corner
Listening to this made me realize that I am exactly the type of pervert to be playing this game lol
This was so much fun to listen to despite having no prior knowledge of Dragon Age. Lovely dynamic and I personally would adore if you both covered Baldur’s Gate.
SUCH GREAT TASTE 😍🙌
As a forever Fenris Stan that recognizes his angry boy tendencies I'm grateful and pleasantly surprised that he even made it to the top ten
More horny content is always welcome. As someone who romances everyone maybe ranking ideal partner material to include some more ladies?
I like the idea of a rotating guest that picks the cast of characters that could be potential boyfriends.
I did not know that what I needed in my life was Anthony talking about boys
As someone who romanced Cullen and loved every minute of it, him being in the top 5 is not great. He went on a murder spree of mages after DA:O and before DA:2. Sooooo.... Maybe not the best boyfriend material
We all make mistakes.
Enjoyed it
Absolutely more of this. It was a lot of fun
I need the Mass Effect ranked list immediately
No literally
This was so fun and a very cool concept <3 The gasp I let out when Anthony said he didn't spend any time with Fenris, who has such an incredible arc. Would love to hear the Mass Effect assessment, or Baldur's Gate 3!
Next episode about Army of Two characters
Loved this, don't know a thing about dragon age but will listen to whatever you put out
Love this series already so much. I would love to hear about Skyrim and Fallout companions, femme Dragon Age ranking, and literally any other ranking of partner material
Do any topic, as I am happy listening to the back and forth.
I'm only video game adjacent, but I still really enjoyed listening to y'all be nerdy and horny
I need more plz. Never played Dragon Age. I just love listening to you discuss relationship goals and fantasies. Certified freak. This was great.
I need more of this. I'm ten minutes in so I have more of this but I need MORE of more of this. I beg with tears in my eyes for another episode
Pleeease do a Skyrim one, but everyone is just bad boyfriend material because almost every character is just an amalgamation of terrible traits 😂 Although at least Ulfric would be waiting on you in the mornings, waiting every day to greet you with "hey, youuuuu 👉👈 you're finally awake"
Amanda and Anthony just riffing together? SOLD. I don't even need to hear it all. ANOTHER! (and obviously of course I listened to it all, it was great 😁)
Raking dragon age boyfriends is so specifically my shit how did you know
I would LOVE another episode of this for ‘best girlfriend’. Also for Mass Effect. I enjoyed this IMMENSELY
One for FF7 please
Ooh, more please! I'd love rankings of the fellowship from LOTR, and any pre-Enterprise Star Trek crew.
What I wouldn't give for a fire emblem version of this (mostly just for blazing blade)
More.
Amazing episode, thank y'all for revalidating my love for Cullen and Bull. I'm am begging for a DA girlfriends episode because more people must be exposed to the Josephine romance
I “would” continue to listen as long as there’s a borderlands episode
Have I ever played a Dragon Age? No. Am I deeply here for basically salacious gossip about fictional characters from very funny people who are down bad? Give me a whole series yesterday
I mean, all your takes on da are objectively WRONG but I’m just happy to hear Amanda back again.
Lol you guys should do a BG3 episode of this and bring Neil back
I need a girlfriends of dragon age
Yes yes yes
An absolute delight! I hope you do more!
Best quote "Mass Effect is for dweebs and Dragon Age is for perverts" clearly identifies why I love Dragon Age and couldn't get into Mass Effect and while my husband was the opposite...I'm going to go read my smut now lol
I absolutely need to hear you guys' opinions on Mass Effect, i hold true to the Maxim that Kaidan is horny drywall that takes any interaction as flirting
This is actually a fun and analytical deep dive into the characters of the game and also why they are bangable, I would love to hear more!
Well I play both Mass Effect and Dragon Age Anthony!! What do you call that!?
Love the idea but I wish yall had included the female characters too!
I need this for mass effect
This was great. You got me just sitting here just imagining lives lived with Emmrich and Iron Bull.
Would
Never played dragon age but I would listen to HOURS of this
This is right up my alley, loved the first game and def gotta play some more now after hearing about all the other dateable guys! Please do more of these!
I feel like the only person to have romanced Taash!
Haven't played a lick of dragon age games. Regardless, I thought this was a really fun and engaging listen! Anthony and Amanda make a great pair and do a great job describing the characters and their history. as a bisexual I'd definitely enjoy getting the ladies' side as well, but I'm gonna enjoy regardless. In short, I WOULD love more of this!
I’m so vindicated; I’ve been arguing for 10 years that the Iron Bull is the best romance in the franchise
Sooooooooo when do we get more????
Came to me in my time of need 💞 please do more!!
Please do more!! Never played the game, but so invested, gunna sit down and watch some play throughs rn lol
Give me some Witcher horniness!!
More of this please!
Amanda is 100% correct. The Iron Bull, baby!!!!!!
I restarted Dragon Age because of you guys. Please do Mass Effect next I NEED to hear your thoughts.
I’m replaying now too!!
I know nothing about Dragon Age, that being said I listened to the entire episode enjoyed it and I am looking forward to a world I am more familiar with. -Thanks for being awesome!
I sent this to my friends that have OPINIONS. I have only played Veilguard and romanced Bellara, who can do no wrong. I now need a Baldurs Gate one
I’ve never played but would pick Dorian bc he’s hot and civil rights oriented
I didn't listen because you said I wouldn't get it if I didn't know dragon age but I love the concept so much and I'd definitely listen to one where I know the characters! Y'all are both funny and charming and everything you do is magic
Ok I love this, need Mass Effect, fallout next haha
Cannot wait for an episode based off of the best boyfriend of the judicial system of the United States of America and all supreme Court leaders alive or dead
I'm sorry, but I totally disagree about Varric cheating. That's not the kind of guy he is -- if anything, he's TOO loyal to his partner! If you could bag Varric, that dwarf would be ride or die for you. Apart from that, great opinions! This was really fun to listen to!
I thought Spite only looked away with Neve, th wings come out when you fuck Lucanis implying Spite is around? But I still agree with Amanda, I wanna like Lucanis more but he's boring as hell
All my homies hate Solas
If I don’t get more of this inside me a will lose my fuckin mind, please do more of this
This was fun :D would like to see more in diff universes
This was such a great listen!! I'd also love to hear more of everybody's opinions on Buffy, as someone who both enjoys the series and despises the writing.
Love this idea!! Great episode, I’d love to see more
This was very entertaining and made me want to go back through and play them all. More please!
"Mass Effect is for dweebs. Dragon Age is for perverts." Damn Anthony is calling us out. Explains why I couldn't get into ME though
Love this, would love to see (or listen to) more of this!
Kotaku didn't piss me off because they treated my boy Zevran so well. I'm so glad Amanda understands how wonderful he is too 🥰
Well, I now need to go play Dragon Age. Please keep making these - Had a great time listening 😄
I absolutely loved this, tho I am a major dragon age fan like humongous I'm in deep on all the lore. This was a delightful listen and would love more!!
I really enjoyed this! Amanda and Anthony have the cattiest energy together. I WOULD listen to as much of this as y'all want to make.
Dream Daddy??
if i dont get a WOULD: stardew im going to die
I knew nothing about Dragon Age going in and now am convinced I need to play it. I also desperately more of this series! Please give me more fictional boyfriends to pine over 🙏
Never played Dragon Age but this was very entertaining! Definitely want more
I know nothing of dragon age and this was fun
PLEASE make more of these
“if you haven’t played dragon age you might want to skip this” this whole episode convinced me was that i need to play dragon age and that yall need to make more episodes of this
have never played anything in dragon age and still enjoyed this. would love to see this become a series
This was so fun! I only played inquisition but it was enough to enjoy this thoroughly lol
I was concerned going in, but as soon as Anthony exclaimed “fuck that egg” I knew we were in for a good time. I have to disagree on opinions of Davrin and Lucanis, but, people can be wrong if they want to be lol.
I would def enjoy this if it were about a franchise I knew! Good luck
Please make more, love hearing Amanda pop up
The "...and Anthony Burch (gay porn)" had me in stitches 🤣
I listened during work, now I wanna play the dragon age series, as a straight male 🤣
DO IT, it’s a sign🌀
LOVE THIS NEED MORE RAHHH!!!
i’ve never touched a video game in my life but i still enjoyed this!!! it was fun and made me interested in the video game. i will not ever play it because i am not a gamer but i do now feel that i know what dragon age is and who some of the characters are and it was fun just to listen to yall talk about it all!!
Love this pair and this concept! Would love to see DA girlfriends too! Or stardew valley maybe next?
This is awesome. Loved it
As a hardcore Iron Bull fan, so happy I'm not the only one! My precious man!!! My sweet cheese!!!
No idea what Dragon Age is but I am seated
Are you going to do the other companions?
Love the concept and both Anthony and Amanda (always excited when she’s on the podcast). I do agree that, as someone who didn’t play Dragon Age, I was pretty lost. Might have worked with a video component, even if it was just a slideshow created after the recording. But do something like Mass Effect or another game I’ve played and I’d be super invested, even without a video.
I enjoyed this one, would be down to see more.
This was a fun episode. I highly recommend anyone who likes this style of ranking a particular fandom to check out "Hard Choices". It's really fun! Meganbob is the best!
Thanks fo the rec! Am about half way through Lord of the Rings and am already loving it 🤣
mass effect please
I'd definitely listen to more episodes of this. The ranking was pretty spot on, despite Anthony playing the games wrong :p
This must be made about Baldur's Gate. And not just the 3rd. I want to know what Anthony would do with Minsc's hamster 😂
They talked about BG3 somewhat recently (must have been a peach pit?) and I was shocked no one seemed to have played much.
This was incredible. Please make more!!
Idk looking at my 5'7" character laying next to taash might have erased the concept of a red flag from my mind
I have zero familiarity with Dragon Age but I ADORE this concept. Baldur's Gate 3 pretty pretty please? (Special guest Neil?!)
i've actually never played a Dragon Age game but loved hearing you both talk about all the romance options. makes me want to play one!!
I loved this more than I thought I would, I walked in blind ( having played dragon age prior) but it makes me feel so happy that I’m not the only one that flirts with all my companions
Yeah I'm gonna need more of this please. Mass Effect would be a natural next pick and I've played all of those lol :)
Not played Dragon Age but I WOULD listen to more of these
I need to hear the Mass Effect best partner and why it is Tali.
I LOVED this. Please do more! Dragon Age is one of my absolute obsessions in life. I agree with most of Anthony and Amanda’s takes, but I feel like Lucanis got done dirty. If you do romance him he’s such a sweet boy and so devoted to you….I love him. 🥹 That being said, I appreciate Anthony making Alistair dead because Alistair is so annoying to me. 😅
One of the best decisions I’ve made in life was abandoning a Lucanis romance path after he expected me to get surprised and happy that he made me churros…. Switched to Emmerich immediately after that conversation. I love this episode you guys have made! It’s great to hear you talking about these games and the most important aspect them imo 😜 I haven’t had enough of these conversations irl so this podcast gave me a lot of nostalgia and joy
Emmrich is the BEST. I would husband up that man so fast.
I feel my wingman Brolas was not given a fair chance 🙁
I have no dragon age knowledge but I loved this! I was on the fence about playing Veilguard, but now I'm gonna give it a shot.
Definitely will listen for more, not only an interesting listen but also makes me really want to play all of dragon age now
Yall doing the borderlands series next. Right? ... right???
PLS
Incredible takes. I feel like it was pretty spot on. I would love to hear thoughts on the Dragon Age girlfriends and Mass Effect romances. And also why Garrus is number one!
I enjoyed this! But please only do another if you also enjoyed making it
Excellent concept of an episode, would it be a rotating guest cast? And also I think you should take a run at the Stardew Valley romance options! 😊
I would love a Stardew episode!!!
I’m so glad you put this back up! Would love to see other daddies (we know Beth and Will were in the fanfic trenches when they were growing up…) and the Hey Riddle Riddle folks as guests :)
IM SCREAMING FOR MORE!!!!!!! Do it for me! I need more of Anthony talking about men casually. It speaks to my bisexuality in a specific way
Agree on The Iron Bull!!!
Gnawing at the bars of my enclosure!! 👹👹 I love my BioWare boyfriends
I was really worried you guys would turn out to be Solas stans because I would have immediately lost so much respect, but the venom with which she said “that FUCKING egg” put my fears to rest. That being said, you are so wrong about Varric. I feel like he got some closure with Bianca and also 1) he’s a viscount, 2) he’s rich, 3) he’s charming and funny 4) he wears a cock ring on a necklace so you know he’s DTF and I want to floss my teeth with his chest hair
You should do the Mass Effect series next, those games have SO MANY ROMANCE OPTIONS (and yes, andromeda too)
This is awesome, the amount of nostalgia this brought back
I enjoyed this. Anthony does need to go back and play Origins again and romance Zev, he is missing out
Please god do red dead redemption or Boulders gate
This was so fun! I would like to hear about all the boyfriends, please!
I know absolutely nothing but the name of the games and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this!
I knew virtually nothing about Dragon Age going into this and I really enjoyed listening! I'd listen again if you guys did another episode.
Me listening just realizing how low my standards are
I cannot express how much I loved this episode. I’m a die hard Dragon Age fan who always romances Alistair/Fenris/Cullen/Dorian so I appreciate the good taste!! So fun, I would loooove to hear more
Would love to see Beth as a guest at some point! Maybe not for video games but I feel like she would have immaculate opinions and insight to your debate. Excited to see where this series goes!!
Well now I’m playing Dragon Age
Z ,v. N x s. Xx k skbnk. X .,ln. . vbkbbbbbb. . .
I would listen to this once a week. Mass Effect, Stardew, Star Trek (DS9 Specifically), Buffy, Marvel Heroes, West Wing, The Wire, FF 01-10, etc, etc, etc. Hopefully we get more.
this is so good. would love more!! love hearing u guys talk about stuff that u love and ur opinions on it.
Definitely need this done for Stardew Valley
Look im just glad Cassandra got considered lol
i really liked this ep! just love listening to ppl talk about things they like
I loved this I’ve not played much of Dragon Age but this was fun and reminded me I should (also it’s great whenever uses invite Amanda)
I got 30mins in, took a break, and it was gone 😳 Glad it’s back!!! I know nothing about Dragon Age but love listening to y’all yap lol
Now I need to play Dragon age again! I did love my iron bull while I played, but I think that I held a torch too long for Cullen. Next time I’m riding the bull!
Great, now I need to go buy these games! (But for real can't wait for y'all to do a franchise I'm familiar with!)
A spectacular surprise and something I'm exceedingly keen to hear more of. Well done, both!
Ok fine, I’ll play dragon age. I didn’t have enough fictional characters to be obsessed with anyways
U guys put this out and all the dragon age games went on mega sale on steam
Thank you for starting with dragon age and making this episode for me specifically
As someone with 0 Dragon Age knowledge, super good episode, looking forward to more!
I loved this. Starting with Dragon Age really worked for me. Also, learnt that Anthony and I have a lot of similar tastes in men and women (at least for Dragon Age). Though I adore Alistair, even if my elven mage's relationship with him ended badly.
I enjoyed this and am interested in your perspectives of other dateable characters in video games! 😂
This content speaks to me so bad even if I've never heard of the franchise! Love the duo of Amanda and Anthony and would be really exited for more episodes!!!
Love this! Pls do mass effect next
Or Fallout.
This is such a fun concept! I may be biased as I am an avid tumblrina and love lurking in ship discourse threads, but this was a delight to listen to.
Commenting again that I need DA Girlfriends or Mass Effect Boyfriends DESPERATELY
Mass effect next please. WOULD be an instant listen.
I love this so much, I need more
“Dragon age is for perverts” you’re right. That’s why I, as a 12 year old fell in love with Morrigan and her revealing top.
Also I chose Zev over iron bull because Zev travels with your warden for a while they search for a cure.
absolute GOLD content AND a Princess Mia cameo?! I’m sat,
This is delightful, please make more!
I won't be listening to this (because I know nothing about Dragon Age), but I wanted to leave a message for interest in other episodes like this. A Mass Effect episode would be an instant listen.
I also have no knowledge of Dragon Age games- I really liked this! Seconding the ME notion as well
Did this get reuploaded because I swear I heard this the other day
Yeah, there was an audio issue so they had to reupload it
Really enjoyed it!
I need yall to rank the Mass Effect boyfriends so bad.
I've never played Dragon Age, but ily guys I'm so here for it 🤣😭❤️
My boy's Ironbull and Emmrich made top 2, I am vastly pleased.
I've never played Dragon Age, but I'd love to hear more episodes like this on other games!!!
Googled fenris and now I have to buy the game
Haven’t played Dragon age, so please do more of this!
NEEEEEEED more of this please
More please
YES MORE OF THIS PLEASE
amazing!!! would (hehe) LOVE more from y’all!! need a Star Wars version asap 😌
YES PLEASE
This was a lot of fun, please make more. :)
I’m so glad you re-posted this. Keep it going, it’s a fun listen!
Honestly this made me realize that I don’t remember the dragon age franchise as much as I thought I did. Well damn it, I guess I’m going back and playing them all. Also, this has been absolutely great. Totally would listen to more.
I would KILL to have everyone on a list so I can ask my dragon age friends who aren’t on the Patreon who they would. I’m so excited for a potential more on this!!!!
I haven’t seen dragon age but I would love to see other series!
Give us more. MORE!!!
Obsessed! Would love to hear your takes on the BG3 characters
Absolutely loved this
God I actually forgot about the angel Xander thing 😭 I thought Amanda was going to mention the Riley thing which is also awful but Riley was so bleh so 🤷 And yeah. I'll never not rage at him jilting Anya. Dick
I generally never comment on media I consume. But I needed to emphasize that I love this. A lovely merge of my special interests. Thank you.
How could you not have more weighed on iron bulls betrayal though?? I wasn't sold on him before and then he did that and I was like 'fuck you and everything you stand for' because we saved a way bigger group of people and he was seemingly ok with it then he calls you 'Bas'. Ugh my blood boiled.
Was slay, would like to hear you discuss a fandom I know!
i am exactly the core audience for this thank you
This sounds awesome but I've never played dragon age unfortunately
Neither have I and I still found it fun to listen to. You might too.
Y'all rightfully giving respect to my man Dorian had me pausing the episode to go to AO3 and look up DAI fanfic like it's 2014
Me 🤝 Amanda having many & strong opinions about Dragon Age (This got long lmao) PLEASE do a DA girlfriend ranking for an ep 2 of this! Live Reacts Start Now: In Taash's defense, they ARE only 22 at most. Cole didn't merge with mage!Cole's body, he took on his identity but manifested his own body, not piloting a corpse (ala Kristoff-Justice in Awakening). The Grey Wardens were kicked out of Ferelden during, uh, Cailan's great-grandfather's time for betraying the King and executing an attempted (thankfully failed iirc) coup. The GWs have only been returned to Ferelden by Maric about 20 years before DAO. Combine that with the Orlesian occupation that killed both Loghain's family, friends, uh so many people, that he helped kick out of Fereldan about 30 years prior to DAO, and that the GW who have been sent to Ferelden are mostly from the Orlesian outfit of the order, I'd say as terrible as his *other* decisions during the civil war are, his distrust of the GWs on either level isn't unfounded. I HIGHLY recommend Sebastian's rivalmance, he leaves the Chantry & takes back his throne (which he does ANYWAY before DAI) with you at his side & doesn't insist on a celibate marriage vs his friendmance path. His is the only rivalmance imo that isn't horrifically toxic & mean. I disagree re Spite because it's a foil to the consensual Anders-Justice merge going harsh/bad/ymmv as a nonconsensual human-spirit merge going *well* in that they make a deal with each other that respects each other's boundaries. If you want to "fuck a spirit", let's revisit Cole (and not uwu-babyfy a neurodivergent coded character who's both an adult & if you push him more human ends up dating your bard Maryden by Trespasser). Alistair is smarter than a lot of people both in universe & in fandom give him credit for tbh. Not a genius, but smarter than he's given credit for. Also, he's *19* going on *20* in DAO sooooooo emotional immaturity should be expected lol. ...I cannot picture how Anthony played these games, every tidbit of his experience we learn makes my eyes go wide all over again 😂 "I'm not going to be scared all the time" as the partner of probably the *most* attempted-to-be-assassinated Magister?! Tal-Vashoth Iron Bull is never retiring his axe so he'd be my 3; he's gonna wanna die on his feet, so if you're into that, yay, but if you want what Cullen or Emmrich offer (aka stability), Bull's vision of life is not gonna be for you. Cullen hates being the center of attention, but if he doesn't have to be? I think he'd be willing to do city culture stuff if you want to, cuz he is the kind of guy who, I think, would engage in things that aren't his style because his partner will enjoy them/wants to. This was SUCH a fun episode!
I restarted and changed my mc gender halfway through so I could romance Dorian
It would def be a shorter episode but I think this would he great with the stardew bachelors/bachelorettes! (and Krobus ofc)
Please do more!!
Never played the game but loved this! Anyone who doesn’t like pigeons is on my shit list. And Dorian sounds hot af.
Yum thank you give me more
Huge dragon age fan. Huge daddies fan. I almost freaked out when I listened to the intro. This is the thing I desperately needed that I never thought of before.
This was a really incredible show, I would like a more in-depth telling of the different characteristics of the potential spouses. But this has been really really good, great chemistry
Cracking idea for a show, a great listen and a lot of fun!
I love this SO MUCH!!!
please make more of these i beg of you
This was incredible, I have never played or really consumed much content of the dragon age series but this was such a treat to listen to
LISTEN I understand but I feel like Alistair grows so much 😩
SO RELIEVED YOU GUYS HAVE THE RIGHT ANDERS OPINIONS OMFGGGGG
Anthony did Amanda so dirty pitting Zev and Bull against each other like that. I haven't played Veilguard so Emmrich sounds cool but idk him, so Bull and Zev are my top two. Very much hoping you guys do more of these with other games or other media!
Cullen over Fenris is WILD
can’t wait for more of this!
Thank you for the Krem mention.. I want to love that bad motherfucker
Also yes we give a shit and even the weirdos who don’t play video games w not listening to y’all rank boyfriends
This was amazing- love the discourse
I'm 20 minutes in, and while the podcast is good you have totally sold me on looking into Dragon Age games which I have never played. LOL
I’ve never played Dragon Age, might now, could listen to yall talk about Buffy for years.
I LOVE Dragon Age so I was beyond excited to see this on the feed (and devastated when it was taken down by the time I got home from work to listen to it lmao), so happy my boys Cullen and Alistair made top 5! I would 1000% love to hear more of this podcast format
More of this please
this was SUCH a treat to listen to omg, I was thrilled to see it on the feed and I'm sure any future episodes will be the same. here are my favorite moments: Cassandra making the initial boyfriend cut sooo true Cassandra butch lesbian boyfriend is canon and you can quote me "mass effect is for dweebs, dragon age is for perverts" absolute gold, I feel like I need that on a t-shirt "rivalmance is what we call it in the *culture*" would also make a great t-shirt also loved hearing you guys talk about Taash in a positive way bc yeah a lot of the press around them initially was like right-wing ragebait and so it's nice to see them get appreciation from people who engaged with their actual writing!
Amanda, you owned Anthony on Zevram. Well said. This is a fun concept pod. I would definitely keep listening. Really glad you kept the gender non/conforming group in with this category. Helps for us pan folks!
Amazing more of these please!
I don’t have a love of Dragon Age, but this was really fun. I’d love to have yall make Matt join in for a presidential Episode.
Dragon Age is my most beloved series EVER !!!! Thank you so much for doing this, I went insane when I saw this title
I’m down for what is essentially horny debate me coward
Can we PLEASE get an episode of Matt and Freddie yelling about boyfriends?
Totally should get a token straight guy to pick what he thinks is a great boyfriend. Just a pure meathead with bad opinions for your contrarian
It's funny caused me and my MIL were joking about making a similar podcast
Please do more!!
Its so much more of a mercy to kill Anders, because I didn't and if you Romanced him with Hawke you find out his life further crumbled and collapses
Alistair was such a sexy unintentional gay baiter nerd bro. He jokes about licking poles in winter before realizing how wrong the conversation can go. Also, Mass Effect is for dweebs and Dragon Age is for perverts? Haha. Love both.
I love this!! Please do more🙏 i need to hear yall do stardew valley
As a Fenris and Cullen lover I feel validated 😌 This podcast was made for me
I'm 2 minutes in and 100% on board.
I love Anthony’s gay porn introduction in the description.
Do baldur gates 3 next
Please more of this!!
Love this! If it was fun for y'all to record, I'd say this is definitely something I'd love to listen to more eps of, as a little treat. Glad to see the Iron Bull and Alistair appreciation!
I thought I was going crazy when o saw this drop like a week ago
Love anything you guys do, don't know anything about dragon age but listening all the way through for support. Plus other franchises would be fun... Bg3 companions and NPC's? Fallout? Dare I even say ..... TV shows?
It's got series potential is what I'm saying.
I was so sad this got deleted because I wasn’t able to listen the first time around, SO glad it’s back!!!
*points a pistol to my credit card* if you wanna keep this patron you better make this a series, kid
(jk but I would love it!!!)
Yay! It’s back! I have such love for the DA boys and NBs. “Many and powerful opinions” ❤️🔥 Can’t wait for others in a series like this.
SMASH (i mean im not gay but like i would)
This is like Debate Me, and the Christerion, they are all fun. We need a Will one now, maybe a sexy saxophone themed one.
100% would listen to more of these!
I haven't played Dragon Age, but this makes me want to.
Do itttttt! They’re so good.
I'm gonna skip this one cause I know nothing about Dragon Age but I am interested in this as a series
I want more of this, but I think a video format would help so the audience can play along even if it’s just vibes based.
Love this!
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
It got taken down to fix a mic echo, and I WOULD love more of these ❤️❤️
Ah that's where it went. I see Anthony toned down the passive aggressiveness on the description this time LOL
Definitely more of this pls Was a great listen and made me want to replay the series from the top
I don’t know Dragon Age but I will listen to this to add to the numbers in the hopes they’ll do BG3 next
It's back!
This was great! Excited for hopefully more episodes.
I definitely want more of this!
pouring one out for the dragon age series
glad it’s back because i hadn’t gotten to listen to it yet, but definitely do more!! i wanna hear about characters from other franchises, and from guests!!
“Anthony Burch (gay porn)” lol
Woo this episode made me download dragon age just to see what they’re talking about
Enjoy it!
Never played, will still listen to it all.
Wee need more WOULD
Second time’s a charm.
It got taken down?
Welcome back!
I thought I was crazy.
Why did you get rid of this.
It had echo issues so they put it back in the oven for a little bit.
Hey, it’s back!
