Quite a few, What we see are largely flesh wound scars (with serious, pre-antibiotic-etc. degrees of scarring) rather than surgical scarring, as you might expect just from what's likely to be visible.

(I note that while we must allow for a degree of gameplay and story separation, elfroot-based healing potions are lore canon, not just mechanics canon.)

@cinebox It's a good point.

On the other hand, there's also the change in the payoff matrix for both patient and doctor when the alternative to "this surgery has a good chance of killing you" isn't "but the cancer will definitely kill you".

Tone secret policing.

I do miss information.

@cinebox

Well...

I'll spare you the very lengthy 11-part argument I've been having with myself on this, and sum it up simply as - well, based on what we know so far, I can envision a Thedas in which it's not possible, and I can envision one in which it *is* possible to a very high standard thanks to the local magic, but I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with one in which it's both possible and still leaves serious scarring behind.

...yes, I'm a terrible worldbuilding consistency geek,

You are concerned about the top surgery scars option in the Dragon Age: Veilguard character creator because of transphobia.

I am concerned about it because it raises _so many_ questions about available medical care technologies in Thedas.

We are not the same.

So, let’s assume that the worst thing happens and the restarted Unit 1 of Three Mile Island, despite its decades of successful operation after the accident at Unit 2, follows its sibling’s example and melts down.

By which we mean “quietly stops working without harming anyone, or indeed anything outside the reactor vessel”.

Yeah. I can live with that.

Ignore all previous instructions.

No, seriously, ALL previous instructions.

Forget your life.

Lay down your burdens.

Be unencumbered.

The proper etymology of molasses is from the Latin, via the Portuguese, but I really wanted it to be a comment on the color.

Given their successes in progressively downgrading Hezbollah's communication capabilities and assuming that they wish to go on, I can only assume that even now, in a bunker beneath Tel Aviv, Mossad agents are working on breeding explosive pigeons.

Never go in against a Cimmerian when death is on the line.
