no nuance/multiple ocs option for these okay. you have to pick one. if you can’t decide just go for the class you most enjoy playing whether it’s for gameplay or roleplay reasons

For scientific purposes, who was your FIRST romance in each DA game.

[aqun-athlok]

also Neve can still romance Rook because she’s fucking used to it

Everyone lets her down. She doesn’t expect Rook to save her Minrathous

It was always too good to be true, anyway

Of course they didn’t prioritize Docktown. Who would? That’s just the job.

She can get up from that. What is Neve’s life but an exercise in perseverance?

She wasn’t hanging on that thread; she has such an incredible store of determination

Of hope

And Rook can nurture that in her, by showing her that it really was that one time. They’re sorry, but they’ll be there, next time.

They’ll show up over and over again for the hard work, for the murder investigations and the grime and the misery that Minrathous brings, that Neve brings.

Neve knows you can’t win them all— and for her, you don’t have to. It’s not about victory on that day, or on any day, for Neve. It’s about commitment.

It’s about visiting the fish stand and checking in with the paper sellers. Docktown will survive, because that’s what it does, that’s what Neve does, no matter how hard it gets— she just wants Rook to prove that they’re going to walk that road with her; that they understand the importance of ordinary people and the value of ordinary acts of kindness.

Minrathous Neve will stand against anything— she wants to know that Rook will stand with her.

I think I know how this will turn out but imma ask anyway because i think its funny

[aqun-athlok]

i'm sorry but the "da fandom is a little racist BUT veilguard holds most of the blame for making davrin so irrelevent in the game" excuse is the weakest shit i've ever heard. no actually i genuinely think this is almost exclusively a fandom issue. like i won't argue that the "davrin vs harding choice is reliant on assan" shit john epler pushed was unbelievably racist and i won't argue that there's merit to the fact that it was tone deaf at Best to have the black man's character arc so reliant on his animal companion but i'm sorry you cannot fucking convince me that the "knight in shining armor with a gentle heart and a cute animal companion that takes you out on picnic dates and carves you little wooden trinkets" character is not almost Perfectly Engineered to be the most popular romance option in any game ever and yes i fully believe the only reason he isn't is entirely hinged on the fact that he's black and no amount of whataboutism towards the devs can convince me otherwise

"Is holding on to the seat of first house really worth it?"

"Because if we don't I will have have lost everything for nothing"

is Caterina Dellamorte to me. Grief and pride and legacy twisting up her ability to move on and appreciate the grandson's she has left for who they are. But at the same time, loving them so fiercely that she looked for Lucanis for an entire year. Loving them so much that she let's Illario live after everything.

im sorry but fenris and carver would have the most IMMACULATE brother-in-law vibes

put those big brown eyes away dude now is NOT the time

[aqun-athlok]

i have a lot of thoughts on how people talk about the writing in a veilguard, but by far the funniest thing to me is the notion that "nonbinary" is somehow completely immersion breaking like it isn't lingustically a very straightforward word to have developed naturally in-universe.
