[ID: Digital painting with black outlines, Neve and Lucanis kissing in the rain at night on a blurry lavender and blue background. Both are wearing late-game armor. They are drenched in shining raindrops and reflected neon light. His hands are gently cupping her face while hers are on his waist (hidden by his cape). She is shedding a tear that might be a raindrop. /End ID]

Imagine if you will the emotional intensity of the NeveXRook romance applied to the NeveXLucanis romance.

Sometimes you come across a character who just resonates with you so very deeply it’s almost infuriating. For me, Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age Inquisition is one of those. There is a spectacular number of reasons for this, and one of them is in no small part thanks to amazing actor Ramon Tikaram who gave him his voice. Turns out that he is as gorgeous to look at as his voice is to listen to. I simply couldn’t resist. I give you Ramon Tikaram as Dorian Pavus.

So my radical take on DA1-3 vs DA4 is that all the games are political, but DA4 takes a sharp turn towards the personal. It moves the subtext into text; it’s no longer a possible reading of the game but an obvious one. It doesn’t just make the political elements explicit; it also adds a value judgment. Being a bigot is just bad. It explicitly states that the heroes of this story are decent people, not just Rook but the companions themselves.

All the factions we met before have good people to offer, and it’s presented as a hopeful new beginning—one where unity is possible despite ideological divides. This isn’t a case of simplifying the world or erasing conflict; it’s a shift in focus. Instead of moral ambiguity for its own sake, the game leans into the idea that choices still matter, but some choices—like choosing to be cruel—aren’t morally neutral. It’s not just about survival or political maneuvering anymore; it’s about what kind of world you want to build.

Some people are really pissed off, and some are trying to overanalyze Veilguard as “less than.” The change in making a statement is condemned as a devolution instead of a change in narrative priorities. But is it really less complex, or just unwilling to hide behind the veneer of neutrality? The previous games invited debate about systemic oppression and power structures, but DA4 takes a stance, and many don’t want to investigate why they’re so irritated by this.
