I think the thing that Gets Me about Veilguard is just how much of an impossible task it had heaped on it from EA from the start of its inception.

It’s arguably supposed to be a soft reboot for the series while ALSO being a follow up to Inquisition. These are two fundamentally incompatible goals in my opinion. This game had to walk the most insane line of any video game in recent memory. I guess EA wanted to have their cake and eat it too.

And the more I think about it the sadder I become for the original team who worked on Joplin. From what I’ve seen of the art book, Joplin was going to be about as firm a sequel to DAI as you could get - with references to rescuing whoever was left in the Fade, having Calpernia and Imshael as companions, having to fight Solas’ agents, etc.

Then EA makes them scrap it for live service. Fine. But wait - now we’re scrapping it again. Back to single person RPG but you also kind of need to distance yourself from the previous games as much as possible while still somehow being a follow up to the previous game.

New setting, few returning companions, and new Big Bads in the form of Elgarnan and Ghilanain to get a clean slate. Any mention of what’s happening in the South (where we spent 3 whole games!) needs to be relegated to letters and codex. ** I dont have the art book yet, so I dont know if these two were supposed to appear in Joplin beside Solas - or if Solas was supposed to be the sole antagonist in that iteration of the game.

But.. I hope you see what I mean when I say this game had a monumentally, borderline impossible task ahead of it. And when I think of it that way, I think it did as good a job as it possibly could. Especially since the actual development time was closer to 3ish yrs to get what we know of as datv today even though it’s been 10 whole years since DAI.

I hope it’s successful enough to get DA5, but who know’s what’ll happen.

I wish everyone except the EA execs who meddled with this game’s development and are seemingly trying to kill dragon age a pleasant day. I have a cynical detective I need to romance 😔

That body hair mod for Lucanis has me really debating if I wanna mod the game or not lmao. I'm just so tired of keeping up with mods after updates and stuff. All of that energy goes towards ffxiv 🙃 I think I will end up just imagining the hair on him and Revas having the time of his life running his hands through it all the time.

Making myself sick thinking about how in the Luncais romance scene, if you choose the alarmed “I didn’t think I’d see you again either” dialogue choice, Rook expresses doubt that they ever actually left the Fade and wonders if they’re still imprisoned there, dreaming this moment up. Lucanis reassures them twice that they’re in the real world, with him, and then grounds them with a kiss and a promise.

And you know who else spent a significant portion of the game still mentally trapped in a prison, deeply traumatized and in pain, with parts of himself unsure if he ever truly escaped the Ossuary?

I really wonder if there was originally meant to be some version of the “You’re really here / I swear” conversation coming from Rook during or right after the events of Inner Demons because goddamn if that isn’t the most delicious narrative parallel
