if bioware do make a dlc for veilguard i will only accept a mass effect citadel style one. Rook and co can't go back into the fade so the inquisitor gifts them skyhold and the entire dlc is just inviting every single one of dragon age's previous characters to a massive party
#dragon age veilguard#i need all of the companions to meet#lucanis and zevran where lucanis is just glaring at zevran who is grinning like a maniac#lucanis and alistair bonding over food until he finds out what alistair did to stew and never speaks to him#anders: you're an abomination and you get along with your demon?#lucanis: what like it's hard??#dorian and emmerich oh my god the academic discussions#book club with bellara as well#shale meeting dwarven inquisitor or amell warden meeting hawke#fenris having a headache from all of it#iron bull and taash bonding over dragons and taash meeting krem#sera and taash would be too much to handle#warden actually found a cure for the blight and giving it to davrin but mostly just to pet assan and bug him into giving them a griffin#who is killing oghren first though#iron bull 🤝 emmerich: having a weird but loveable spirit son#lucanis 🤝 anders: not having a moments peace#alistair 🤝 anders 🤝 blackwall 🤝 davrin: planning the wedding when the protagonist first flirts with them#warden 🤝 hawke 🤝 inquisitor 🤝 rook: forced to live in a world where polyamory doesn't exist#hawke finding out cullen went through character growth#bioware said decisions don't matter so whatever happened to any character wouldn't matter in the dlc#vivienne 🤝 neve: being needlessly hated on

We all talk about how inquisition toned down the previous games ability to be chantry critical and all that, but can I bring up how inquisition minimized how dangerous the darkspawn are?
Those planks of wood or a single boulder over the hole aren't gonna do shit to keep em down. These things dig like a colony of ants. Two games ago we were told a gate made of multiple sealed steel doors would only keep em back for a decade at best.
But then again this game has absolutely zero stakes so why not.
#dragon age#I still laugh at vivienne going “abominations are inevitable” if you recruit the mages and then nothing happens ever#no companions turning on you if you cross a line‚ the only npcs that can perma-die get written out of the story even if you save them#and the only consequences of your choices are companion approval and epilogue slides#any exception you can think of is still the exception rather than the rule#oh yeah I was talking about darkspawn

playing fallout 3 for the first time means oscillating between "this is a really fun game and is reminding me why i love fallout" and "this is the worst thing anybody has ever written"
#im not going in totally blind to be fair. i know the major story beats#this is your destiny i would not rob you of that etc etc. liam neeson dying etc etc#some of the minor details that im experiencing for myself tho are like. either pretty neat or abominably stupid#the family!! is DUMB!!#why cant you tell dad the entire vault went to shit after he left and u needed to escape with your life!!#why does amata kick you out again!! for a reference to fo1? yea real clever#i liked vault 106(?) tho. charon is an interesting companion#wish the game invited u to explore the morality of you having his contract but i can just chew on that myself ig#i will fix these things in my brain by imagining things very hard

Pocket-size dragon companions to accompany you on your journey!
#the empyrean#fourth wing#iron flame#Tairn#andarna#sgaeyl#magical girl au#ok guys listen#originally I was planning to draw Xaden with dragon wings something something riders channeling from the source becoming abominations#not quite venin but definitely no longer human#like a drider situation i guess#and then i pivoted to getting dragon wings ala magical girl transformation#so then of course i had to draw the dragons as little magical companions#and here we are now and i still haven’t drawn Xaden#might post sgaeyl on her own bc I think she looks the best

i just simply think it's a horrifying but effective way to radicalize the formerly sheltered and spoiled noble lady and get her to immediately understand the desire for vigilante justice when the party member she was just trying to give grace to decides to betray the party and its result is the entire sequence of the fall of val foret
#riya exposed to more trauma but this time it made her fucking angry instead of despondent#i think it's fun#how are you gonna wake up and discover your whole party + npc with you were psychic blasted into unconsciousness#stumble outside and see fucking everywhere on fire overrun with demons and abominations and darkspawn#watch the warden commander you've lowkey attached yourself to for reasons get brutally murdered in front of you#how are you gonna see all that and not go ''okay yeah i can see why taking the killing option right here is valid and fair''#me going yay <3 at growth and morality development#meanwhile riya's shaking violently‚ tears streaming down her face‚ summoning zeus bolts to throw she's so full of rage#genuinely cannot imagine the devastating heartbreak seeing so many wardens getting forced into transforming into abominations#especially after the party had a whole quest before dedicated to Stopping such a thing from happening#i'm gonna stop tag rambling now but i have lots of thoughts and feelings about how this'll change so much for riya#in both her personal life and with her companions and such

veilguard doesnt let you assume or hypothesize ANYTHING by yourself bro...i hate it. immediately after presenting an idea it will provide you with all the possible avenues of thought there is no subtlety to this game
#screw regrets of the dread wolf all my homies hate regrets of the dread wolf#sure lets all sit down and yap in a trust circle to theorize events that happened in solas' past while the world is currently ending#no organic dialogue? no companion theories DURING the quests that we can respond to and then use our own imaginations to fill in holes?#while giving us enough context clues to provide us with the bigger picture? you know...like good storytelling?#this whole game is so hamfisted about its morals. its got about as much finesse as a bull in a china shop#& its so crazy because the PLOT is FULL of forcing information onto you & then the CHARACTERS lack depth! thats insane!!!!!!!#i still stand by the fact that new companions were unnecessary because they dont bring any new concepts to the table#weve had an abomination companion. weve had a crow. a tal-vashoth. a detective. an eluvian expert. a grey warden.#fade expert...you mean THE INQUISITOR?#da4 critical#veilguard critical

okay. finished veilguard. um. it sure was definitely a game.
#cri.txt#like you cant argue that it isnt a game thats for sure#mor srsly tho ermmm#its just okay#in terms of being a dragon age game... it is BAD#in terms of it being a regular game. its like. okay.#there were a lot more qol features in this game esp after inquisition which i think is great#personally inquis was like barely playable gameplay wise#writing wise... the game peaked at the seige of weissaupht. i liked the cage for the gods sequence. that was very cool.#i liked the last gambit and how depending on ur relationship with ur comoanions they can die on the missions you dole out#which is interesting and fun to me. ibcluding the bosses being the companion quests bosses if u dont finish them#i do think having so many companion deaths in the last quest is probably not great for subsequent games . ? but whatever ig#companions themselves are kinda uninteresting to me . ? like this is easily the worst batch. the only true standouts were like davrin and#maybeeeee bellara?#lucanis was especially disappointing actually. i was hoping theyd do more with the. abomination stuff but it was just nothing in the end#spite couldve easily just not been in the game#also he pissed me tf awfff#two shots at ghilanain and he misses both like. YOU HAD ONE JOB AND YOU CANT DO IT RIGHT. STAND UP MAN#couldnt even kill the venator war commander#teia had to do it for him. URGH USELESS#but yeah the idea of a non mage abomination defo couldve been interesting#taash's writing... well its already been talked to death so whatever#ive always been a story >> gameplay person so the fact that the writing dropped in quality this badly is such a shame#all the different types of endings are essentially the same. the only thing that is changed is how solas is handled. and some of them are s#ooc for him its ridiculous#oh and the secret ending at the ending was also so bad. introducing a cliche council of vague evilness that is implied to have controlled#everything from the start? snooze fest#its so bad. it ruins the complexity of loghains character. boils down the complex political tensions in da2. and so on#like its just so aggravating seeing da devolve into this#UURRGGGHHH CAN WE PLASE GO BACK TO CHARACTER AND POLITICAL BASED STORYTELLING PLEASEEE PLSPSLPSLPLSPLSSS

sighs dreamily. how fuccking terrible of an experience must it have been for the Inquisition surgery team that had to clean up the disintegrating arm stump Solas left the Inquisitor with at the end of Trespasser. POV you joined an organization that you think is set out to do good and like every other member you have something of a hero crush on the Inquisitor. who is now BLEEDING OUT on your table
#dragon age: inquisition#dragon age#had a vision of revallen bound and gagged and bleeding bc cassandra and the rest of the companions are trying to save him#while he is like a hairs breadth from going full abomination of wrath and despair. glowing and snarling. etc#hospital team welcome to the most amount of pressure you have ever ever felt ever

pax couldn’t handle a situation where the warden decides to simply kill connor
#❪ ⋅ ✹ ⋆ —┊ ❛ ooc. ❜ ❫#( im not saying pax was very quietly crying the entire time seeing a child struggling to regain control over his own body over the demon#and calling for their mother because they’re terrified and don’t know what’s happening !! )#( but yeah he was Stressed and Crying )#( if the warden decides to kill connor rip )#( how to find out your companion is an undead vampiric abomination with one simple trick )

Alright, I’m gonna say it:
I don’t think we as a fandom give Professor Travers nearly enough shit for apparently genuinely believing (because why would he lie?) that the Doctor was the one who could’ve attacked him & his companion the night before on the mountain side. I mean I get that it was dark and confusing and frightening for him & all but come on, he’s supposed to’ve tried to fight the damn thing, and yet he’s able to confuse this:
for this:
(excuse the out-of-universe photos, but you guys know how little real footage of this one exists)
They’re not even wearing their heads in this one & they’re already dwarfing him:
He Is Just! A Little! Guy!
#this post was brought to you by the What Exactly Does This Man Have A Degree In? Gang#second doctor#the abominable snowmen#abominable does not mean 5'7"#also shoutout to the novels for making travers' dead friend retroactively very scottish apparently?#i suppose 'death of your obnoxiously scottish male companion' is actually an accepted reason to stop making sense in this era#nevermind post cancelled travers gets a pass i guess#in a win for himbos everywhere doctor who's first non-lead recurring character is in fact a professor who's mainly notable for being stupid#congrats i guess

#..i hate to say it#but im really glad Tumblr user vigilskeep is out here Lucanisposting so much and like#showcasing exta depths of appeal tec#*etc#bc overall i think he's sharing the dead last spot with Harding for me 😭#and at least with her it's mostly me not liking any of the post inq lore and sort of sighing at the story (neutral)#with him i just... find him really underwhelming 😭#like my worldstate being- crow- abomination - and then getting handed a CROW ABOMINATION#but he doesn't hold a candle to either of them 😭 just sort of sucks#and ship wise... IM SORRY. IM SORRY. I WANTED TO LIKE IT BUT.. Neve is too good for him. she deserves so much better#than essentially a death warrant#and i don't even see Lucanis and Davrin at all they feel far too lukewarm to either fit a rivalry OR a general romance dynamic#and i feel so bad for saying all of this bc i do like spite. and lucanis when he's allowed a personality outside of coffee#but then even that final line in the endgame of him romance read to me like they were trying to recreate Zev's so badd#you'll never match up to a declaration of marching into the black city itself when that actually felt like impossible odds within the world#give it up#sighhh i don't know#i think his character overall really needed.. SOMETHING more. there's repressed and then there's “my writer got laid off and it shows”#such a love hate relationship with this game#which dont get me wrong - at least the love is there which is more than i can say about inquisition#but from this to the meh dwarven lore to the sudden switch to 21st century language with Taash... i hate it hereee 😭#at least solas is gone from the narrative forever now that gives me joy#i will still have to bear seeing solas fans ( cough and weekes) hailing him a masterpiece of storytelling#when really everything he represents from the very starting concept of the Evanuris being evil in inq has been religiously insensitive -#AT BEST#extremely racist at worst#and this post that was originally about being underwhelmed by a companion the more I think about him got away from me#thinking about Solas and the gods isn't healthy for me i start morphing into anger inside out#possessed by a rage demon if you will#i shall sleep now and hope that helps maybe 😭

Worldstate :3
Lillium "Lily" Mahariel
Female (she/her), bisexual, 18 in DAO (born 9:12 Dragon)
Duel Daggers Rogue, Bard/Assassin specialisations
Romanced Alistair (hardened)
Party Members: Alistair, Leliana, Wynn (Origins) / Justice, Nathaniel, Anders (Awakening)
Friends with literally everyone, will talk her way out of (or into) every situation possible, has chronic hero syndrome and tries to save everyone and get the best outcome possible (even if she can’t).
hardened both Leliana and Alistair
Aided mages, peace between (cured) werewolves + dalish,
Connor alive and de-possessed (using mages), Urn remained unspoiled.
Bhelen made king of Orzammar, Branka killed, Anvil destroyed.
Anora is queen, Alistair remains a warden, Logain killed by Lillium herself
Killed archdemon herself, Morrigan conducted the dark ritual with Alistair (sorry dude).
Allowed Avernus to conduct ethical research
Architect alive, saved both Vigil’s Keep + Amaranthine.
Cass Hawke
Female (she/her), bisexual, 25 in DA2 (born 9:05 Dragon)
Duel Daggers Rogue, Shadow/Assassin specialisations
Romanced Anders (and Justice)
Party Members: Anders, Fenris, Isabela (I love drama)
looks essentially like default fem!hawke but more emo and with grey eyes.
The most self-destructive rogue this side of the Waking Sea, is pure Purple because if she takes anything seriously it means it's Real.
Rivalled Fenris + Sebastian, friends with everyone else
Bethany became a Warden, Merril has eluvian and her clan is alive, Bartrand alive
Fully supported mages + Orsino, opposed Templars + Meredith (FUCK THE CHANTRY)
Feynriel sent to Dalish, then freed and went to Tevinter
Killed the Arashok, Isabela came back
Sided with Larius, befriended Tallis
Let Anders live, supported chantry boom, sided with mages
Leira Lavellen
Female (she/her), straight, 31 in DAI (born 9:10 Dragon)
Archer Rogue, Assassin Specialisation
Romanced The Egg (Solas)
Party Members: Solas, Cole, Blackwall (Inquisition) / Dorian, Cole, Blackwall (Trespasser)
Trying her hardest to act pragmatic and polite so the chantry won't burn her at the stake for being an elf. Generally she is logical and rational... except when it comes to Solas where she is so in love it makes her stupid.
Solas removed her Vallaslin, and she swore to try and save him.
High approval with everyone... somehow
She denies being the Herald ("I'm Dalish!")
Sided with mages as allies, fuck the templars.
Cullen stopped taking Lyrium, Leliana softened and made Divine.
Saved chargers, Cole more human, Blackwall to become grey warden, rebuild Seekers.
Celene rules w/ Briala, Grand Duchess Florianne lives
Inquisitor drank from well, respected tradition, and allied w/ guardians.
Wardens rebuilt, Hawke left in fade – sorry, Anders :(
Bull remained loyal, Inquisition disbanded.
Lumen Thorne
Non-Binary (they/them), Bisexual, 27 in DAV (born 9:25 Dragon)
Grey Warden, Mage, Spellblade
Romanced Lucanis (and Spite)
Primary Party: Lucanis, Davrin
Conducted a blood magic ritual to give themselves top surgery (would have been a blood mage if Bioware weren't cowards), primarily sarcastic because if they don't laugh they'll cry.
Saved Treviso
Befriended literally everyone, convinced Mythal to give up essence
Bellara kept the Archive, Griffons returned to Wardens, Emmrich saved Manfred, Harding showed titans compassion, Lucanis imprisoned Illario, Neve hardened, Rivaini Taash
Harding died, Bellara (temporarily) blighted
Solas redeemed and reunited with Lavellan, they walked into the sunset or whatever
#fun fact: i planned lumen to be a crow rogue abomination#but then companions were announced and lucanis stole their entire characterisation#if you didn’t notice i love rogues and dalish elves
