Não sei a vocês, mas estes últimos segundos resumem EXATAMENTE todas as críticas da qual ela tentou arranjar defesa: sem empatia, narcisista, vitimista e machista. OH Cristina Ferreira, nunca estiveste tão perto das estacas.

Let’s talk magic, because this is where it really starts to fall apart. In Dragon Age: Origins, magic is a system, not a gimmick. It’s rooted in the Fade—mages can cast spells because they have a stronger connection to it than ordinary people. Spirits and demons are real, possession is a constant risk, and the entire Circle system exists to control that danger. And the variety actually matters. You’re not just “a mage,” you specialize: • Primal (fire, ice, lightning) • Spirit (mana drain, spell disruption, anti-magic) • Creation (healing, buffs, support) • Entropy (hexes, curses, debuffs) • Arcane Warrior, Blood Mage, Shapeshifter, Spirit Healer, etc. Magic is learned, studied, and taught. Mages train in Circles, pass the Harrowing—literally entering the Fade and resisting possession by a demon—and only then become full enchanters. There’s structure, risk, philosophy behind it. And the Veil? When Solas created it, it separated the physical world from the Fade. Without it, it’s heavily implied that magic would be far more common—maybe even universal. That’s why ancient elves were so powerful. Technology, meanwhile, is rare. Dwarves—who don’t have a connection to the Fade—are the ones pushing engineering forward. People like Bianca’s creator (and other surface dwarves) are outliers specifically because innovation is uncommon. Magic and technology are two completely different domains in Thedas. They don’t overlap. And then Dragon Age: The Veilguard comes in and suddenly everything is “ancient magic,” “elven magic,” artifacts that function like tech, and organizations like the Veil Jumpers basically acting like magical containment units. It starts to feel less like a mystical system tied to the Fade and more like… fantasy-flavored technology. Even the basics get weird. If you play as a mage, there are moments that treat magic like something you build or “graduate” with a project—when in the original lore, becoming a mage is about surviving the Harrowing. You don’t craft your way into being an enchanter. You face a demon, or you die. Magic in Origins felt dangerous, spiritual, and deeply tied to the fabric of the world. It had rules, consequences, and identity. Turning it into something that behaves like advanced tech—especially elven tech—doesn’t expand the lore. It flattens it.

If Capcom's goal with Pragmata was to make everyone who plays this game want to be a parent, then they've done an amazing job. I always sit back when Diana starts playing and think to myself "so this is what is like having a daughter" She's so cute
