  • An Excellent Lore Podcast

    I love the Dragon Age Lorecast. The Cups do an excellent job of researching the lore and presenting it in an informative and entertaining fashion. I’m listening from the start and am in a race to finish playing DA:V before I get to those episodes. I love when their predictions for DA:V come true!

Both Shelby and Austin have such a rich knowledge of the series and it instantly drew me in and I felt myself get immersed, so much so that I stop... more
