Also just to add on, manufactured conflict over nothing is annoying you guys. I don't think people remember the amount of players who configure whole teams just over who wouldn't be pissing blood and bitching for hours of game play. Over. NOTHING.

That was sure me jfc.

Origins was probably the worst tbh. I mean it had Leliana and Morrigan get into fights about Leliana taking Morrigan shoe shopping. Which wasn't funny or worth my time in 2009 let alone now. In DAI, the bickering is better written (Could still be exhausting though, ask me why Blackwall never was taken out with any mages). But the point i want to make is Arguments don't just instantly make good writing.

Even still DAV does have bickering??? Like you said. I wonder if people just rush too quick to Weisshaupt? It seems like banter gets move to phase 2 after that.

Also because i got really sidelines on this. people know that Neve and Lucanis aren't mad at rook which ever you pick, right? right?? Both of them understand the choice is impossible. After it happens, They don't want to talk because they're emotionally exhausted. They have literally mourning and burning their neighbor's bodies for days. Look around Minrathous if you let it get blighted. Those dead bodies hanging everywhere are friends and coworkers. All those guards are ventori ready to grab people off the street and use them for blood magic or to prove a point. The silence isn't personal at **all**

No, I'm not done yet, I'm house sitting and she left me snacks and soda and not even god could keep me from venting my spleen at this point.

"I wish the companions were meaner to each other in this game, like in DA2."

While I think there's a larger argument to be made discussing the similarities between DA2 and Veilguard, I need everyone to get so close to me right now about a glaring difference:

DA2 involved a ragtag group of assholes with their own agendas coalescing around Hawke's personality or exchange of favors. There was no larger "goal," except maybe Varric's expedition - everything else is encountered as circumstance. You wend your way through your companions' stories while a city winds ever tighter into itself, a spring about to literally explode.

There's zero reason for these people to be nice to each other. They have no point in being around each other except Hawke. They can bitch at each other all they like.

Rook becomes Varric's second in command (I've seen one post say it's about 6 months before the events of the game) with an explicit purpose: find and stop Solas. Harding and Neve are recruited as experts in their respective fields for this particular goal. When it all goes to shit, Neve recruits another expert, Lucanis, to deal with the fallout, and Harding finds Davrin, *also* an expert in his field (monster hunting). When Rook has to make a particularly consequence heavy decision, two more are added to the crew: Emmrich (Fade expert) and Taash (dragon expert). All of these people are extremely competent, and know from the jump that they have one particular goal in mind.

They join ready to work together on Day 1 because if they don't, there's simply no other alternative. It's lights out. Even when they mistrust each other, the direness of the situation is not lost on them. Infighting serves no purpose. That's why the struggle is directed inward: clean up your own house, so we can move as a single unit.

Honestly the fact that what people took away from this game was "I wish my friends were meaner to each other" and not "wow, I wish we all worked together to keep evil dictators from taking over" is fucking mindblowing when I sit back and reread this.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!
