Did... Did they not play the damn games or something? I mean, I only really played Skyrim in the ES games and even I can see the freaking IL have "I have Roman influences!" literally screaming out of their asses like shit-caked newborns. Heck, even the civvy Cyrodiiilics have Roman or just Italian sounding names.
Ugh.
Anyway, just to clarify, is this what you meant?
The authors are here to tell us that Thedas has two moons (it is canon) and then proceed to bitch about them not incorporating the second moon, which makes me real angry because the reason is simply because said authors can 'fit' more easily their horrid attempt of a fanfiction.
Sorry if it's painfully obvious and I'm just blind.
Lastly, I have to wonder two things: A) Does the DA 'verse have one or two moons? and B) Does it matter? I'd just chuck ES' smaller red moon in there and not have anyone comment about it.
Yeah. It is smaller. But the moons ain't the point. The whole problem lies in the fact that the dragon age setting is about as old as Elder Scrolls, with its own unique genesis and gods still kicking around. You can't just shoehorn Tamriel and handwave the many, many problems that will rife this story. And mind you, if seen a lot of OOC in just 3 chapters. And not the good one.
... I should probably pick up a DA game. But yeah, I see your point regardless. Basic problem is I have no idea about the DA 'verse and really would understand it better if I had a hands-on approach. And while I'm sure you realize this, the author's problem isn't so much "Shoehorn one world into another" than just failing to understand both worlds and splicing them together in a way that stands on the foundations of both. Instead, from what you've shown me, it reads like a "X character from A universe ends up in B universe" fic. Easy to do, easy to mess up.

... The red one IS smaller, right?
