It’s long been my favourite area in Dragon Age II, a stupid name that embodies the worst in fantasy game lore-writing. My friends and I have taken to calling it “dorktown,” and I can still quote the codex entry by heart.
“The foul miasma known as chokedamp clogs and swells in every corner of the Darktown.”
Chokedamp! Good times.
I’ve already talked about how much I love the weapon-descriptions in the game, and this little chestnut in the “Badtown” description made me laugh.
Conscious shout-out to Dragon Age II? Accidental reference that just illustrates how bad the name “Darktown” really is? We may never know.
