EXTRA DreadRook vibes today!

The sexiest part ab this oshamir moment?

It’s not the slutty thumb rubbing. Or even the greater significance of him accepting her hand and she his. It’s the fact that he presented the saber to her with the lethal side facing himself rather than pointed at her

This, but it's DreadRook. (14)

I finished my first run of Veilguard!! So, of course, I made another character (yes this is technically Rook #3 but she's my next one I promise!) Her name is Maeve de Riva and she is snarky and doesn't take bullshit!

Also, some last little pics of my first Aldwir Rook and her adorable assassin-abomination husband:

Maybe I've been avoiding the Veilguard Critical tags a little too hard, cuz I seriously didn't know people were saying this.

What in the absolute fuck do you mean Solas didn't earn his redemption? He hasn't received any at all yet! The closest he comes to being redeemed is his sacrifice during the good ending, which (in my opinion at least) doesn't equal redemption.

Solas is a murderer, a traitor, and a destroyer. But with being set free, he now wants - or, more likely, has been given the freedom to do so - to atone for his sins. He can finally look for a different path.

We most likely won't see Solas' redemption depicted on-screen (or page or... whatever), but it IS happening! He IS going to atone! As OP said, "He's GOING to GO DO THE THING!"

Hey. Hey, guys.

It's the atonement ending. Atonement.

Atonement is what you do to right a wrong or a sin you have committed.

Redemption is what happens after you atone.

"Solas did nothing to earn redemp--"

He says. He is going. To SEEK ATONEMENT. He is GOING to DO THE THING that offers redemption AFTER IT IS COMPLETE.

I am still obsessed over the fact that they intertwined Solas and Rook's theme songs. Like.... COME ON!

I will never not talk about this.

I'd like to focus on the soundtrack specific to the Atonement Ending.

Ever since I watched it, I've had a strange sense of vague familiarity that I couldn't pinpoint or put into words until I got through all endings and realised what caused that feeling. It was the music.

In the three endings where Rook has to fight Solas the final cutscene always ends with "Not The Chosen One" (Rook's) theme, but this finale differs in many ways.

The timestamps below might not be accurate to the point, but they should help you navigate:

Beginning - 00:55 - Dragon Age Inquisition Epilogue theme

The next piece starts somewhere around 01:01 (at least this is where I was able to catch it). As far as I can tell, it's a variation on the "Not The Chosen One" theme specific to the Atonement Ending. It's also what gave me that déjà vu feeling I was talking about at the beginning. Sadly, there is no telling what the name of the melody is, because it's not on the official soundtrack

01:40 - 01:52 - I'm fairly sure it's the Inquisition theme, although it sounds a bit altered; it marks Morrigan's appearance in the finale

02:34 - the Lost Elf theme

03:12 - 04:17 - Rook and Solas' themes intertwine with Rook's leading the way and Solas' hidden beneath - but still present

04:17 up to the end - the Lost Elf; Rook's theme is no longer playing. This is the only time when the final scene ends with Solas' theme.

So, we have this finale where Rook - with extra help - convinces Solas to give up his Grand Restoration Plan and leave this world be, and not only does Solas finally see reason, but also binds himself to the Veil willingly, and all of this - the characters, the dynamic - are wrapped in the music, echoed in it, and it makes such wonderful, deep, multi-layered story that could never have been told through visual means alone.

And yes, all that is written above is my personal view. I might be reading it wrong. Or digging too deep. Or both.

But at least I got it out of my head.

A slow arrow breaks in the sad wolf's jaws.

Solas' betrayal of Felassan deserves a place as the seventh mural in the Lighthouse ;_;
