[riddleturner]

he's an apostate. he's a grey warden. he's on the run from the law. he's bonded body mind and soul to a spirit of the fade. he practices one of the rarest and most taxing magical diciplines known to mages. he's a cat dad. he was put in solitary confinement for a full year. he saves lives daily and asks for no payment. he's a massive bitch. he's personal friends with the hero of ferelden. he hates the church. he's hopelessly in love with you. he writes and distributes his own manifesto. he was forced to kill his own ex boyfriend. he doesn't see a way out. he's fucking blonde.

POV RO SHEPARD INCINERATES YOU 🔥

happy birthday @gammaraydeath!!! ♡︎ mwah!

[wetsocksinbed]

Shepard: I died saving my crew. Then someone I considered one of my closest friends gave my corpse to a terrorist organisation, who brought me back to life against my will, and have been manipulating me for months. I am isolated from almost everyone I knew and I am trying to save everyone yet again while also making sure I am not losing my morality.

Kaidan/Ashley: you left me >:(

Can I be so transparent and say idc about the Neve and Lucanis ship. I'm not a big fan of it but also it's whatever so when it happens I just kinda stand there like🧍‍♀️okay??? BUT I am about to kill myself at the idea of Emmrich being with Strife and not me

I hate how the critism of Veilguard has turned into "Its so woke" instead of focusing on the actual issues.

LIKE THE THREE CHOICES THING? I CAN'T BELIEVE PEOPLE JUST GOT OVER THAT SO QUICKLY?

Or the messy development with it's rewriting and devs & writers that actually knew and worked on the previous games being fired??

Hell I'd rather suffer through people debating over the artstyle for all eternity than have to hear another "The game is bad because nonbinary wouldn't exist in Thedas" or it's somehow even stupider cousin "The game is woke because none of the companions are hot" (both takes I've seen multiple times by now)

Congrats to the gamer dude bros for successfully derailing proper critism. If I was working on Veilguard and saw that the loudest critique was people complaining about pronouns, I would stop listening and I can't even blame them for it because every damn critique video ever has to have a segment dedicated to hating on "the wokeness"

[v-arbellanaris]

sorry i WILL shut up about this (and start posting abt my new hawkes) but seeing "can you guys take a breath" and "decisions from 10+ years ago in southern thedas will not affect the current timeline set in north thedas" from specific blogs is genuinely wild. as if we don't literally live in a world where we are STILL just starting to face consequences to actions taken 10+ years ago, and as if US politics 10+ years ago did not have anyyyyy global ramifications for anyone outside of the US even 10+ years later. like. rivain, antiva, nevarra are all IN southern thedas wdym??? im half tempted to start actually listing out all of the things our decisions could have feasibly impacted 10 years later but seeing this take from blogs that genuinely still discuss the impact of the exalted marches on thedas hundreds of years later is WILDDDDDD

as someone with lukewarm opinions about dragon age (grew up with it, loved it, came back as an adult and was disappointed) i would be very curious to hear your opinions about it if you ever feel like swinging a bat at that particular hornets nest

I don't even have the energy to get into that all of the aspects of things that I hate about dragon age lmfao. primarily I hate mage circles because of my personal trauma, and generally I hate that they are so fucking mealy mouthed about "oooooh well we can never know whether this thing is actually good or bad, ooh there's so many facets to this issue, soooo many shades of grey, what if this group that got genocided were also slave owners, boy that would sure complexify things in your mind wouldn't it, we are so fucking smart" fuck off! go to hell!

ok this might be a long one. guys... i cannot tell you how badly i wanted to love veilguard, like i have been waiting for this game for so long. this is my absolute favourite video game series (it is literally what inspired my honours thesis, so big time fan here) and yet i am 5 hours in and cannot find anything that i have really enjoyed. the voice acting is super strange, especially from neve and irelin, the dialogue is clunky and over the top and the pacing is so slow. i wasn't super into how big inquisition was but only because a lot of it was kinda empty but i still loved walking around those spaces because they felt like real spaces- not just video game sets.

and rook! there are so few opportunities to give them any character at all. i constantly feel the game pulling me in one direction instead of allowing me to choose anything for myself.

the only thing that has brought me any joy at all is seeing solas and that was for a minute at the start, but then nothing. i really hope it turns around and it just has a shaky start but, man, i right now i am just kinda sad and disappointed.

also, this is definitely a me problem, but i get really bad motion sickness and the DA games have never been a problem for me but DATV's camera controls are a nightmare and i feel super nauseous after playing. i've tried changing it in settings but either you can't or my brain is small and i can't figure out how.

I'm only *checks save time* okay jesus christ 25 hours in but DA:V feels like what DA2 wanted to be if it had the development time it needed. Going through the city environments feels so much like what Kirkwall was trying to be but instead it had the same two caves pasted over and over. Obviously they're different stories and there are still big differences in the games, but when DA:V also focuses more tightly on small stories and characters versus the giant quests undertaken in DA:O and DA:I it really does feel like Dragon Age 2² to me in the best way possible

I’m coping with how Veilguard ended by making shitty memes

I am haunted by this and now you will be too
