In Origins, didn't the Dalish still worship their gods as benevolent deities?

Like, they didn't know their ancient gods who'd been gone for thousands of years were evil tyrants before this game, right? But in Veilguard, it seems like every Dalish elf you meet already understands that their gods being back is a bad thing because they were super evil. To say nothing of how in stride everybody seems to take the news that ancient gods have returned to blight the world.

I think that one might be a retcon they decided on... or someone cut the information for players that sometime between Inquisition and Veilguard, someone [possibly elf Inquisitor?] went round informing whoever would listen. Also the elves who do comment about it are the Veil Jumpers group who apparently do a lot of exploration/relic retrieval/history retrieval in Arlathan and would have... somewhat more information in that sense, perhaps.

Also after the whole Veil tear up mess in Inquisition the average person that lived through it might well be going 'world's ending anyway gods are malicious and here to blight everything sure why not'

Thats a different group of Dalish. From memory, that group only had a few lore keepers, that knew about the Dalish history. Think they even stayed away from ruins.

Veil Jumpers, on the other hand, has a much more firm grip on there history, from all the stuff they have found in ruins and the veil.

[Motorola]

there are dozens of different Dalish groups, the one in Origins was just different and theyr leader was a total a-hole.
Also, elven Gods are tricksters most of the time, they pretend to be benevolent but they are not, like for example to make a comparison, The Lady of warhammer.

Depends on the clan. Also, Veilguard takes place many decades after Origins, so its not unreasonable to guess that at least some of the clans have had the truth of the Gods disseminated to them. Especially if your Inquisitor was Inq. Lavellan.
