    In the world of Thedas, there are some questions better left unanswered like... What Is This Dragon Age?

    How to Act Fereldan: A Dragon Age Fancast is your podcast field guide to all things Dragon Age. Join Anne Baird, Wil Williams, and Giancarlo Herrera as they play through the fantasy RPG series Dragon Age. They'll ask the important questions, like What Is This Dragon Age? But also -- what are the sociopolitical ramifications of the architecture in the Emerald Graves? How do the mechanics change from game to game? Is Anders a war criminal? (Probably.) Your hosts will also bring you fanfic recommendations, lore analysis, and more in each episode.

    Their replay will begin where it all started, with Dragon Age: Origins. Episodes coming soon.
