Character Deep Dive #10: Vivienne | Featuring Bee and Vega from the When In Thedas Podcast | A Conversation On Racism and Anti-Blackness in the Development of and Reception to Vivienne

In this week's episode, the Cups—along with Bee and Vega from the When in Thedas Podcast—dive into another main character and party companion from Dragon Age: Inquisition, Vivienne. We talk about Vivienne's backstory, accomplishments, role in the Circles, the Orlesian Court, and in the Inquisition. We also spend time discussing and analyzing how prejudice and unintentional racism have factored into the development and reception of Vivienne.
