[BONUS] WOULD Episode 1: Dragon Age
🕑 Added 2025-03-27 01:00:09 +0000 UTCAmanda 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.

Dump Daze
I liked this, did they ever end up making more?
Julian Leal
Anthony’s opinion on Cassandra is crazy wrong lol
Sata Prescott
Weirdo and pervert here who enjoyed the fuck outta this.
Katherine Payne
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.
Wemf
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
Zenabel
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
Myron Ethan Reynolds
Are we thinking borderlands would be a good pick for this show ?
Yader Vargas
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!!!
Natalie Oulman
Amanda and I living the same Blackwall->Cullen pipeline fantasy!
Natalie Oulman
LOVE
Nicole Araujo
You could do a date everything episode?
Marissa Y
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)
Meryl Chills
Please do more!!
Jadea Blair
Iron bull is the only correct answer
Ashley Hershey
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.
Honey Debelloc
Just another comment to say I loved this and would definitely enjoy more!
Trevor T
This was great to listen to while cooking, even though idk much about dragon age. What about an episode on Rune Factory?
Wholesomethot
Yeah this rules
Ana Bishop
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
Damion Bell
Keep it going, I already love where this has started from
Kat Futoransky
oh no is this about to make me play dragon age for the first time……
Rebecca Synnestvedt
Anthony and Amanda - do you think you’ll do more of these? 🙏here’s hoping🙏
Mitchell Crispi
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
Mitchell Crispi
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
Hez
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
cstiney
This is my favorite cross over, love it
Callum Laughlin
110% would listen to this as its own podcast or as a daddies bonus series!
Daniel Calhoun-Munster
Nah these are super fun I would love this as movie characters in certain movies
Lolilolla
Solas will forever be my best bald boy 😔✋ i will not tolerate solas slander
Kenyon Bixby
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
ScoopyOopyPoopy
Please let's see skyrim, stardew valley, and like minecraft mobs haha🙏 this is so good
Dani Chalus
Listen. When I saw this notification I lost my goddamn mind. This is everything I could ever hope for.
Heidi McIver
Oh, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla 😁🥵
Heidi McIver
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.
Kendra Pugmire
devastated when Zevran got eliminated but he never stood a chance against the Iron Bull
Sunny shine
The next episode should be homestuck 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 I scream from the super mega pervert corner
Nasse Williams
Listening to this made me realize that I am exactly the type of pervert to be playing this game lol
Hannah
I’m replaying now too!!
Rachel Barkalow
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.
Kendall Hale
SUCH GREAT TASTE 😍🙌
Tara
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
saturnsage1
More horny content is always welcome. As someone who romances everyone maybe ranking ideal partner material to include some more ladies?
Isaac Bols
I like the idea of a rotating guest that picks the cast of characters that could be potential boyfriends.
Turaqu
I did not know that what I needed in my life was Anthony talking about boys
Melissa MacDoyle
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
Melissa MacDoyle
Yes yes yes
Tinyhumanbrain76
Enjoyed it
Tegan Vickers
No literally
Morgan Collins
Absolutely more of this. It was a lot of fun
David Levcovitz
I need the Mass Effect ranked list immediately
vintage_rpg
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!
Devin
Next episode about Army of Two characters
Octavia MacIsaac
Loved this, don't know a thing about dragon age but will listen to whatever you put out
Kerrigan
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
Anthony Monachino
Do any topic, as I am happy listening to the back and forth.
Emily
I'm only video game adjacent, but I still really enjoyed listening to y'all be nerdy and horny
Sean
I need more plz. Never played Dragon Age. I just love listening to you discuss relationship goals and fantasies. Certified freak. This was great.
GC
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
Jay Oak
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"
Aine Mulligan
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 😁)
peachie.keane
Raking dragon age boyfriends is so specifically my shit how did you know
Chel Ether
I would LOVE another episode of this for ‘best girlfriend’. Also for Mass Effect. I enjoyed this IMMENSELY
Eddy B
One for FF7 please
Magnus Magnesia
Can we PLEASE get an episode of Matt and Freddie yelling about boyfriends?
Magnus Magnesia
Ooh, more please! I'd love rankings of the fellowship from LOTR, and any pre-Enterprise Star Trek crew.
Amelia Sabinske
What I wouldn't give for a fire emblem version of this (mostly just for blazing blade)
Erin Nichol
More.
Pandoris nova
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
Shane Compton
I “would” continue to listen as long as there’s a borderlands episode
TheAnntagonist
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
Leah Somethingsomething
I mean, all your takes on da are objectively WRONG but I’m just happy to hear Amanda back again.
lizardqueen6969
Lol you guys should do a BG3 episode of this and bring Neil back
Cory Mofield
I need a girlfriends of dragon age
Jennifer W. Spirko
An absolute delight! I hope you do more!
Jewel Bryant
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
alpha reaperion
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
Daniel
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!
Arthur Williams
Well I play both Mass Effect and Dragon Age Anthony!! What do you call that!?
Ella Cecere
Love the idea but I wish yall had included the female characters too!
Joey OConnor
I need this for mass effect
Ian Evans
This was great. You got me just sitting here just imagining lives lived with Emmrich and Iron Bull.
Lachlan Topp
Would
Margaret Turnbull
Never played dragon age but I would listen to HOURS of this
Mikey Fresch
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!
Rob Gibbons
I feel like the only person to have romanced Taash!
PhoenoFox
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!
Cassidy Wichowsky
I’m so vindicated; I’ve been arguing for 10 years that the Iron Bull is the best romance in the franchise
Rebekah
Sooooooooo when do we get more????
Kalliope
Came to me in my time of need 💞 please do more!!
OvercaffeinatedPsycho
Please do more!! Never played the game, but so invested, gunna sit down and watch some play throughs rn lol
Will C
Give me some Witcher horniness!!
Kat Lewis
More of this please!
Hannah
Amanda is 100% correct. The Iron Bull, baby!!!!!!
Jena Dittus
I restarted Dragon Age because of you guys. Please do Mass Effect next I NEED to hear your thoughts.
Jesse Gobin
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!
Maggie (not a witch)
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
Ronan
Loved this, and now I really want to get back into Dragon Age!
SuperNerd Che
I’ve never played but would pick Dorian bc he’s hot and civil rights oriented
Tara
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
Danielle English
Emmrich is the BEST. I would husband up that man so fast.
Luke Schultz
Ok I love this, need Mass Effect, fallout next haha
Kelly
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
Jacqueline Pineda
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!
Jasper Ririnui
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
MarOnMars
All my homies hate Solas
Mason
If I don’t get more of this inside me a will lose my fuckin mind, please do more of this
smeeth
This was fun :D would like to see more in diff universes
a tiny spider
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.
Morgan Cameron
Love this idea!! Great episode, I’d love to see more
Tannictor
This was very entertaining and made me want to go back through and play them all. More please!
Jessica S
"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
Ellena Tilden
Love this, would love to see (or listen to) more of this!
Jessica S
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 🥰
Victoria Scott
Well, I now need to go play Dragon Age. Please keep making these - Had a great time listening 😄
Mordecai
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!!
sleepyone2three
Thanks fo the rec! Am about half way through Lord of the Rings and am already loving it 🤣
BRG
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.
BRG
Dream Daddy??
hotgirlkisser
if i dont get a WOULD: stardew im going to die
sleepyone2three
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 🙏
Scarlett✨
Never played Dragon Age but this was very entertaining! Definitely want more
Alli
I know nothing of dragon age and this was fun
Clay Steenbergen
PLEASE make more of these
Lawrence Wilde
“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
David Beagle
have never played anything in dragon age and still enjoyed this. would love to see this become a series
Megan Stewart
This was so fun! I only played inquisition but it was enough to enjoy this thoroughly lol
Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat
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.
Jonathan Goddard
I would def enjoy this if it were about a franchise I knew! Good luck
Keith Rodriguez
Please make more, love hearing Amanda pop up
Dump Daze
The "...and Anthony Burch (gay porn)" had me in stitches 🤣
holy duck
DO IT, it’s a sign🌀
James Curtiss
I listened during work, now I wanna play the dragon age series, as a straight male 🤣
Dominick Sanchez
LOVE THIS NEED MORE RAHHH!!!
Daina Scully
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!!
Honey Debelloc
Love this pair and this concept! Would love to see DA girlfriends too! Or stardew valley maybe next?
Ajz0626
This is awesome. Loved it
Kylie Martin
As a hardcore Iron Bull fan, so happy I'm not the only one! My precious man!!! My sweet cheese!!!
Erin
No idea what Dragon Age is but I am seated
Creekie05
Are you going to do the other companions?
Rogzilla
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.
Jakob Lichtenfeld
I enjoyed this one, would be down to see more.
Chris
They talked about BG3 somewhat recently (must have been a peach pit?) and I was shocked no one seemed to have played much.
Dan Williams
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!
Jonathan Deans
mass effect please
Daniel Weeks
I'd definitely listen to more episodes of this. The ranking was pretty spot on, despite Anthony playing the games wrong :p
Bjørn W Westblad
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 😂
Patrick Sochacki
This was incredible. Please make more!!
Alex Da San Martino
Idk looking at my 5'7" character laying next to taash might have erased the concept of a red flag from my mind
Montanna Tilton
I would love a Stardew episode!!!
Montanna Tilton
I have zero familiarity with Dragon Age but I ADORE this concept. Baldur's Gate 3 pretty pretty please? (Special guest Neil?!)
Jake Fladd
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!!
Creekie05
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
james L
PLS
Parrot Paramour
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 :)
Daniel Bryn
Not played Dragon Age but I WOULD listen to more of these
Joey Medrano
I need to hear the Mass Effect best partner and why it is Tali.
Nerdsome Noel
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. 😅
Shelby N
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
Brett Ivers
I feel my wingman Brolas was not given a fair chance 🙁
Genesis Ednalino
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.
Aaron Bowyer
Definitely will listen for more, not only an interesting listen but also makes me really want to play all of dragon age now
Harrison Lee
Yall doing the borderlands series next. Right? ... right???
Haylee Deans
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!
MacabreMachine
I enjoyed this! But please only do another if you also enjoyed making it
Liam Nicholson
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! 😊
Maria M
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 :)
MoxalMox
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
Emily Holmes
Agree on The Iron Bull!!!
Tii_gee
Gnawing at the bars of my enclosure!! 👹👹 I love my BioWare boyfriends
Blaine Bowman
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
Mathew Reyes
You should do the Mass Effect series next, those games have SO MANY ROMANCE OPTIONS (and yes, andromeda too)
Zachary Bellows
This is awesome, the amount of nostalgia this brought back
Intestinal-Bookworms
I enjoyed this. Anthony does need to go back and play Origins again and romance Zev, he is missing out
Chris Niemeyer
Please god do red dead redemption or Boulders gate
Cassie Muldrow
This was so fun! I would like to hear about all the boyfriends, please!
Reugard
I know absolutely nothing but the name of the games and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this!
Nicole Sandor
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.
Sheriff Teddy
Me listening just realizing how low my standards are
Dan Gordon
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
Cooper Burns
Z ,v. N x s. Xx k skbnk. X .,ln. . vbkbbbbbb. . .
Vix Grosso
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!!
Ellen Jensen Garrett
Well now I’m playing Dragon Age
pezhead7
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.
ted m
this is so good. would love more!! love hearing u guys talk about stuff that u love and ur opinions on it.
Angela Shrader
Definitely need this done for Stardew Valley
WesKane, do the patron names seem a lil obsessed with Shaun's hormones
Look im just glad Cassandra got considered lol
LilithFyr 🍉 TheyIt
i really liked this ep! just love listening to ppl talk about things they like
Delightfully Joyful
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)
Buckleyham Palace
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
Carolyn Coney
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!
Kate+Cats
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!)
Huw Kearon-Wiles
A spectacular surprise and something I'm exceedingly keen to hear more of. Well done, both!
Exacerbation
I also have no knowledge of Dragon Age games- I really liked this! Seconding the ME notion as well
Nerd_in_chair
Ok fine, I’ll play dragon age. I didn’t have enough fictional characters to be obsessed with anyways
Gabriela
U guys put this out and all the dragon age games went on mega sale on steam
Gabriela
Thank you for starting with dragon age and making this episode for me specifically
StarlightKissu
As someone with 0 Dragon Age knowledge, super good episode, looking forward to more!
Adam Burt
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.
Marcus
Yeah, there was an audio issue so they had to reupload it
Emily Leith
I enjoyed this and am interested in your perspectives of other dateable characters in video games! 😂
Gmork
Or Fallout.
Risotto
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!!!
Cody Moriah
YES PLEASE
sdlite
Love this! Pls do mass effect next
Cody Moriah
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.
Damani Miles
Commenting again that I need DA Girlfriends or Mass Effect Boyfriends DESPERATELY
Hoopster
Mass effect next please. WOULD be an instant listen.
Garrett Durham
Also I chose Zev over iron bull because Zev travels with your warden for a while they search for a cure.
Ed
I love this so much, I need more
Garrett Durham
“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.
smellis
absolute GOLD content AND a Princess Mia cameo?! I’m sat,
Caz
This is delightful, please make more!
Jackaxe
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.
Keith Rodriguez
Did this get reuploaded because I swear I heard this the other day
Phoenix Trosper
This is a fun format
Ryan Tackett
Really enjoyed it!
Connor M Patrick
I need yall to rank the Mass Effect boyfriends so bad.
Hannah
I've never played Dragon Age, but ily guys I'm so here for it 🤣😭❤️
Julian Johnson
My boy's Ironbull and Emmrich made top 2, I am vastly pleased.
marmot
I've never played Dragon Age, but I'd love to hear more episodes like this on other games!!!
Risotto
Googled fenris and now I have to buy the game
May
Anthony "no worries if not" Burch
JakeFrostick
Haven’t played Dragon age, so please do more of this!
Dean Allard
NEEEEEEED more of this please
Throh_goblin Lord
More please
Rebecca Neal
YES MORE OF THIS PLEASE
kenz b
amazing!!! would (hehe) LOVE more from y’all!! need a Star Wars version asap 😌
Felix Ekedal
This was a lot of fun, please make more. :)
Scarylurkergirl
I’m so glad you re-posted this. Keep it going, it’s a fun listen!
Tony Loch
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.
Max Reynolds
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!!!!
Otterly_Sleepy
I haven’t seen dragon age but I would love to see other series!
ScoopyOopyPoopy
Give us more. MORE!!!
Anne Zimmerman
Obsessed! Would love to hear your takes on the BG3 characters
Mark Cormier
Absolutely loved this
Mel Mel
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
Kristyn Green
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.
DND123
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.
Riley Moncur
Was slay, would like to hear you discuss a fandom I know!
Cristina
Neither have I and I still found it fun to listen to. You might too.
candlellte
i am exactly the core audience for this thank you
Pernille Keijzer
This sounds awesome but I've never played dragon age unfortunately
daemoninwhite
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
Arielle
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
Cristina
It would def be a shorter episode but I think this would he great with the stardew bachelors/bachelorettes! (and Krobus ofc)
Schuyler
Please do more!!
SuperNerd Che
Never played the game but loved this! Anyone who doesn’t like pigeons is on my shit list. And Dorian sounds hot af.
Claire Frederick
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.
Bruce Shockley
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
Jack Venegas
Cracking idea for a show, a great listen and a lot of fun!
ToSIvarsson
I love this SO MUCH!!!
Lily Kovar
please make more of these i beg of you
Angus Yearbury
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
Dylan Almeida
This was delightful, and I'd love to see more!
Syd Mal
LISTEN I understand but I feel like Alistair grows so much 😩
Local Goblin
SO RELIEVED YOU GUYS HAVE THE RIGHT ANDERS OPINIONS OMFGGGGG
Maya
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!
Robin
Cullen over Fenris is WILD
Elí
can’t wait for more of this!
UrdnotVick
Thank you for the Krem mention.. I want to love that bad motherfucker
Everest
Also yes we give a shit and even the weirdos who don’t play video games w not listening to y’all rank boyfriends
Dan McIlvaine
This was amazing- love the discourse
Adam Richards
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
Everest
I’ve never played Dragon Age, might now, could listen to yall talk about Buffy for years.
Sydney
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
Emily Beaman
More of this please
Algee
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!
Kim Barbaria
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!
Brandon Bicknell
Amazing more of these please!
Brion Harpring
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.
Aster
Dragon Age is my most beloved series EVER !!!! Thank you so much for doing this, I went insane when I saw this title
Storylord
I’m down for what is essentially horny debate me coward
robert Harrington
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
here to suffer
It's funny caused me and my MIL were joking about making a similar podcast
Meryl Chills
Please do more!!
Nobi Wolff
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
Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror
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.
MK Lawrence
I love this!! Please do more🙏 i need to hear yall do stardew valley
Keely O'Brien
As a Fenris and Cullen lover I feel validated 😌 This podcast was made for me
James Shimic
I'm 2 minutes in and 100% on board.

I love Anthony’s gay porn introduction in the description.
Santana salvador
Do baldur gates 3 next
Sean
Please more of this!!
drmimms
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!
Tony Swagman
I thought I was going crazy when o saw this drop like a week ago
Shane Murphy
It's got series potential is what I'm saying.
Shane Murphy
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?
Kaiberly Cournoyer-Rowland
I was so sad this got deleted because I wasn’t able to listen the first time around, SO glad it’s back!!!
Pedro Machado Figueira
(jk but I would love it!!!)
Pedro Machado Figueira
*points a pistol to my credit card* if you wanna keep this patron you better make this a series, kid
Jon
Ah that's where it went. I see Anthony toned down the passive aggressiveness on the description this time LOL
Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror
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.
Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror
Enjoy it!
Leo Hall
SMASH (i mean im not gay but like i would)
Thomas Witholt | Hermit's Mirror
Do itttttt! They’re so good.

This is like Debate Me, and the Christerion, they are all fun. We need a Will one now, maybe a sexy saxophone themed one.
Parker Grogan
100% would listen to more of these!
Rhi Bran
I haven't played Dragon Age, but this makes me want to.
The Plum Satyr
I'm gonna skip this one cause I know nothing about Dragon Age but I am interested in this as a series
Taylor Blaine Piering
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.
Cassidy Bassidy
Love this!
