[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6403532/1/Life_on_Thedas Life on Thedas] has the basic [[Self-Insert Fic]] setup. Guy plays video game, goes through some unexplained incident and winds up in the world of the video game. In this fic, the narrator wakes up in the middle of the Ostagar battlefield [[Squick|surrounded by mutilated corpses]], is nearly killed by two darkspawn and [[Humiliation Conga|it all goes downhill from there]]. Enter Elisa Cousland, a [[Genki Girl]] with a [[Beware the Nice Ones|darker side]], who quickly becomes the narrator's [[Warrior Therapist]].

There are [[Follow the Leader|similarities to]] [[Mass Vexations]], obviously, as the writer is a self-confessed fanboy that often reviews Vexations 2 chapters. Then Herr Wozzeck [[Ascended Fanboy|endorsed the fic on Vexations 2]], so that says something. [[Better Than It Sounds]] is in full effect here, something that reviewers have already noticed. It does tend to hang out closer to the drama side of the spectrum than Vexations, but still contains many Crowning Moments of Funny. It does tend to be [[Bloodier and Gorier]], though, in its representation of rather realistic sword fighting, so readers beware.

Be warned; due to a [[First Episode Spoiler]] you should read at least until chapter 6 if you don't want to be spoiled.

=== The following tropes apply to Life on Thedas, in addition to the tropes found in the source material: ===

* [[Actor Allusion]]: One of the running gags. One of the first instances of it is the discovery that the Warden is [[Suddenly Voiced]], and the narrator is stoked that he'll be [[Kari Wahlgren|adventuring with Elika]].

* [[Action Girl]]: The Warden, natch.
