Let’s get started with a dreamy track that eases you into your pace, kind of like dawn breaking. Polar Ambassador and triathlete Sarah Richetti.

It has gotten to the point that fans can make cheese scrapbooks and cheese journals to see if they can find them all. Whatever the case may be, the cheeses have been a delight to discover all over Thedas. It could be that one of the developers had a real-life obsession with cheese and it snowballed from there. While it is obviously a tradition of Bioware, it is still a mystery as to how this tradition came to be, or how it evolved. In The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion's Shivering Isles DLC, one of the most well-remembered lines fans have of the mad god Sheogorath is "Cheese for everyone." Though Skyrim moved on from cheese humor to sweet rolls. Their many names are the source of puns such as "gouda luck" and "let it brie" or "ricotta get going." Dragon Age was not even the first game to use cheese as a fun aside. BioWare even made it so if players glitch through Skyhold, they will meet a cheese wheel with a funny face and tophat.īioWare did not pull the tradition of cheese jokes out of nowhere, as cheese has been a food connected to cheer and laughter for a while. The most normal cheeses sat upon plates, while others could be found in summoning circles, in the hands of statues, gambling against skeletons, and mixed in with skulls in caves.
Of course, it was Inquisitionthat really made fans start to notice cheese absolutely everywhere, and goofier than ever. The Chanter's Board in Hightown has a drawing of cheese, Gamlen's house has a cheese wheel, and the player can even overhear in the Hanged Man that he found a wheel of cheese where the Sacred Flame should be, and that it must be a "sign from Blessed Andraste." In the Mark of the Assassin DLC, players can find a skeleton crushed to death by a cheese wheel. The companion Alistair is known to love cheese, as he is self-described as having an "unholy love of fine cheeses." In Dragon Age 2, the love of cheese never disappeared either. In Origins, cheese also is found all over camp, showing itself as a main source of protein during the Grey Wardens' travels. In The Stone Prisoner DLC, the player can get a blade called "Olaf's Cheese Knife," which has an inscription that reads "Finally, a blade that's up to the challenge of one of your fine firm cheeses." The knife is proof that cheese-inspired weapons have been around since before Inquisition. Looking back on Origins, they are quite right that cheese is everywhere in that game as well. They did touch upon it in an interview with CNET and called the cheese a "tradition" that they have stuck to since Origins.
Little has been said by BioWare as to the reason behind Thedas' cheese explosion.
