Do you think the Dragon Age fandom will ever learn that it's okay and normal to both praise some parts and critique other parts of a piece of media or

Dragon Age: The Veilguard Let's Play Attempt 2: Electric Boogaloo

My original plan was to redo my first recorded playthrough that unfortunately suffered corrupted video for the last parts of the game, but then to complete the curse, I lost the save game completely after finishing it.

So now instead we're starting from scratch with a new character!

I am sorry to the viewers (I assume all three of you) who were invested in watching Vio. I hope you can like Isra just as much. (But don't worry, Vio will remain on this blog. He's still my 'canon' Rook after all.)

DA Kiss Week day 7 - Celebration

Davrin and Kalais one day just decide to spontaneously elope in a small hand fasting ceremony in Arlathan Forest, with only the core Veilguard team knowing and being present during <3

At the same time though, I do still think it would be so interesting to explore what gender looks like on a larger scale within Thedas history, culture, and politics. While we've had trans and non-binary characters before in the universe, DATV is the first game to feature a main character who is enby, with Taash. And I do think it's a little disappointing we didn't get a deeper look at what it actually means to be trans / non-binary across Thedas.

Because for example, we know that there are certain cultures that are very gendered, like how masculinity is favoured in Tevinter. So, what are the implications then of Maevaris, a trans woman, having been a Magister and potentially the next Archon?

Just something to ponder. I might someday right some more thoughts / headcanons on the subject myself, IDK.

Every time I get to Taash's first gender-related conversation when playing as a fem Rook, I'm always pleased with the dialogue option to say, "yes I like being a woman but if you don't, that's okay and you don't have to be." What a great way of saying that gender binary is a made-up construct without putting down womanhood! I just love that the player can say being a woman is something Rook desires and is happy about, while at the same time encouraging Taash to explore their own idetntiy to hopefully find those feelings for themself, whatever the end discovery may be.

As someone who identifies as both a woman and non-binary, I think it's just all around some great solidarity!

DATV — 🍃Home Roost🍂

(Davrin & Kataqun Ingellvar, a few years after Veilguard) Ever since I saw *that one* concept art, I had that piece in mind🙈

Isra Aldwir (they/them) will be the featured character of my second go at a DATV Let's Play!

A lot of people are very critical about datv while upholding other games (important things to be critical about when it comes to datv) but what I don’t ever really see and if anything, what I do see is people making excuses for or finding ways to exalt the writers. It’s the way that they have basically taken every storyline that could’ve been great and made it a terrible racist mess and yes, EA is evil, yes corporate execs are evil but also!!! These white liberal writers wrote some of the most egregiously tone deaf shit throughout four games and nobody ever seems to care to point it out. The writers deserve to be criticized. They wrote racism.

I think I'm soon ready to return to my DATV Let's Play series.

The problem is though, I no longer have the save game I started it with. So, I'm curious to hear what folks think I should do...

For the record, it will no longer be a "first reaction" gameplay though, as I have beaten the game a couple times now.

comm finished for a friend of taash and his oc, lucy!
