VORGOTH — The Mourn Watch Dragon Age: The Veilguard (2024)

the takedowns in this game are so fun like the devs must be fans of god of war (and dishonored for unrelated reasons)

solas' bullshit is literally is the allegory of the cave i fucking hate this game & i hate that shitty old bitch plato

yeah bioware the solution to the black female character whose design was sexualized and exotifiied is to give her an even skimpier outfit this time, poggers

there is plenty to criticize & dislike about veilguard that isn't "wokeness" and it's annoying seeing people imply that any negative feelings are basically unfounded - the way some pretty key moments of the story are presented is not nearly as good or impactful or weighty as was typically during previous games, including if you're just talking about inquisition and just in regards to the companions and their personal quests

the first scene where spite breaks lucanis' nose, demanding to talk to rook? that was fucking sick

going to lucanis' room to find he's not there, having the codex entries where lucanis is keeping track of his daily activities to identify times in which spite might have influence or be controlling them, and then spite literally taking over lucanis' body as he drifts off and trying to leave the lighthouse is then given an extremely brief scene that feels like a joke in comparison to the first one

harding is a dwarf that can do fucking magic now and it's barely been discussed by anyone outside of her personal quests

so many things that seem(ed) so important are treated like side-notes - when you first enter orlais in da:i you get to see val royeaux in all it's splendor but you're just kinda thrust into tevinter, antiva, nevarra, AND rivain with very little fanfare despite these previously having been far-off lands everyone was really interested in getting to see

like i keep experiencing moments while i play this game of "this could've been done so much better in a way that would've really drawn me into things" and i keep having those moments instead of moments where i feel like everything comes secondary to me being able to play this game and continue the story because i'm that invested, which all of the first 3 games achieved

atp playing it just makes me miss da:i

i can see why some people might find it hamfisted but taash's gender in da:tv is handled leagues better than krem was in da:i imo, even just with the simple fact rook can be like "oh yeah me too"

"no one likes being a woman"

"ah" (knowingly)

WHEN I TELL YOU I GUFFAWED

USING THE DEAD FOR LABOR PURPOSES HAS SOME CRAZY ASS ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS BY THE WAY
