Its been on my mind for a while, but even though it was already debunked years ago, I still like to think of the RLD (in combination with the Elder One) as a de facto archdemon minus the darkspawn.
Of course, I'm probably just rambling away these random thoughts before bed, but just bear with me for a little bit.
I mean, yeah it doesn't control a horde of mindless monsters but its master happens to be ancient magister infused with the Taint, and his capability of respawning from one body to another is a recurring ability amongst their kind.
And even though its not really related, I still think Bioware should really consider releasing more books and comics that detail the narratives of characters other than Alistar and Leliana. I am getting so bored of seeing their faces in each focking game.
Okay, rant's over!
