In this case, you can't use use category_LIST in conditionals for category, that would recurse.

Yeah I'm just gonna trust (and hope) that the author properly tags the fic in the right order. I normally don't read fics that have overly complicated tags anyway.

Right I forgot about that, I think I tried to do something similar before but couldn't figure it out either back then. This was just to reduce redundancy in the title page. At least my tag browser will look cleaner now thanks to _LIST being allowed in subject tags.
Now I'll just do:
- Find "Inquisition/II/Origins" & "Andromeda/Trilogy" among Dragon Age & Mass Effect category entries
- If found, ignore "Dragon Age" & "Mass Effect" as the main category and get the first accepted entry as the main category
- If not found, use "Dragon Age" & "Mass Effect" as the main category for the tag browser
Seemed to work well!
