why are the Antivan Crows the good guys now?

[pr1mus]

why are they portrayed to be righteous protectors of the downtrodden in Veilguard when in Origins they were depicted as an immoral cartel that made enslaved orphans fight each other to the death so they could be bestowed the honor of doing the Crows bidding?

i mean Zevran took the hit on you in the hopes that you'd kill him, and in the event you don't and travel with him the Crows try to kill him as well for failing his hit.

Don't forget they're the private army of the church, who happen to control the trade of the drugs the members of said army are addicted to.

Yeah, the Chantry is responsible for a lot of things. The mage circles wouldn't be as they are without the Chantry.

Becasue it turns out the people making this game don't even know who Zevran is. Why would they know anything about the lore of the games past. That won't matter now anyway since we only get three choices to bring over from past games and all of that is from Inquisition. The game design director Corinne Busche comes from working on games like the sims 4 and the Simpsons game and not from a rpg with the scope and complexity of dragon age and Thedas. So really it is no wonder the crows are less dark and more merry band. Maybe they got rid of carrying over the lore of the other games because they don't have a clue about them.

You are 100% correct and whatever you do, do not Google the rest of the names involved with this project and it's writing.

Agreed, but also some of them are still terrible people.

They are, they are people after all. Wouldn't be very believable if everyone had the same mentality on a basis level
Just as there are a fair few mages who causes a lot of destruction because they just want to see the world burn as well.

But if the world didn't have these nuances it wouldn't feel as engaging.

Exactly, that's what makes DA so compelling. The nuance!
