IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME THAT HYUNA, who was presumably forced to be an Idol for the alien stage and definitely suffered in her past for it, stills wants to sing for other humans even after escaping. She wants to spread music purely for music's sake, to get people hyped up and cheerful, because she loves singing and wants her audience to love singing and see it as smth fun and not just a talent the aliens abuse for sadistic entertainment. She's redefining singing despite how it's treated her and it's kinda beautiful and wholesome.

DATV Spoilers - The Handling of Previous Story/Lore In DATV

Quick PSA: If you’ve read my post on the lore/story threads dropped – it’s not a list of what I expected or even wanted to see addressed/answered in DATV.

It’s pretty much a given that Kieran and the Architect were never going to come back in any meaningful way, I understand that. Questions about what happened to Anora, Anders, Cullen’s clinic etc...never expected to get an answer about them – at all. The line of succession in Ferelden and Orlais? I expected that sometime down the line it would have to be streamlined into one option for both nations, not a problem – there’s so many choices it’s impossible to account for, and I understand that.

This is just a list of plot threads left unanswered that will, most likely, remain unanswered.

There’s no DLC planned – the team is working on Mass Effect 5 now. There’s no conclusion to the fate of the south of Thedas outside of some codex entries and some dialogue. They can patch the Executors cutscene out, maybe - perhaps they could even do the same to anything relating to the south of Thedas. Yes, these areas were not completely destroyed by the Blight – they can rebuild – but it comes across as being so meaningless that I ever cared for these places in the first place. To learn that after ten years of waiting all we cared for get devastated and left in limbo...it’s hard to put into words the bitterness I felt at that realization, and seeing that final cut-scene drove the nail into the coffin of how foolish I felt for even caring in the first place.

A codex entry or letter would have been nice – but my expectations for DATV was solely for a good story that added to the lore and world of Thedas. Instead, it felt entirely reductive – glaringly so when you account for the ‘Executives’ twist.

The world of Thedas has been watered down and its worldbuilding/lore diminished - slavery in Tevinter is non-existent, the Crows being an organization that indoctrinated children is never touched upon, any mystery of ancient Tevinter and the elves is answered (badly!), the Dalish have effectively disappeared and become the Veil Jumpers...it all feels so hollow, so shallow, that I ever cared about these things in the first place.

The issue is that the dev’s gave us only three choices, told us that as the story was contained to the north of Thedas – that our other choices weren’t relevant to the rest of the game with their intent being to not effect anyone's head-canons...before doing so with ‘the blight has devastated most of everywhere you went previously’.

These were story/plot threads that were woven throughout the narrative of the first three games – the things that made me care and become invested in the world of Thedas to begin with. In a game that was set-up to be a direct sequel to Inquisition and Trespasser I hoped that, at least, what was brought up in Inquisition would be mentioned.

Perhaps my list is a little too detailed with plot threads and issues – if anything that can be attributed to the incredible world-building done in the first three games! I love those games, I love the world of Thedas...which is why this game utterly baffles me with its choices.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a good game but not a good Dragon Age game.

----------------------------------

Edit: DATV absolutely has a lot of problems outside of its handling of the lore and story of the previous games. I would not say its a good rpg in any sense, but as a weird 'action-adventure rpg lite' game I did have some fun moments and enjoy myself. Would I recommend it to anyone? Absolutely not.

I heard someone describe it as a 'junk food' game and I very much agree with that statement. I found enjoyment in it, but to do so I usually had to turn off my brain, which is not a compliment towards DATV.

The game released very well optimized (especially considering how most companies are content to release half-baked games and patch them later) and did create some really interesting visual set-pieces like the Battle of Weisshaupt. But those moments I enjoyed were few and far between, and far overwhelmed by the negatives of the game - such as story, lack of conversation/conflict/role-play options, bad character writing etc...

Calling the game 'good' is, perhaps, a stretch, and I totally get that. Calling it 'mediocre with some good parts' may be more accurate.

DND!!

YOU LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, AND HERE I AM TO TALK ABOUT IT!!

so yeah, i run a dnd campaign using the fool's gold: into the bellowing wilds module and i CANT TALK TO MY FRIENDS ABOUT SPOILERS CAUSE THEY'RE ALL PLAYERS SO. ILL SHOUT ABOUT IT HERE

cause sometimes im just so damn smart like

Info on the PCs below the cut :]

THE CHARACTERS EXPLAINED:

ORZO: A sad gay edgy pirate cat dude! he's not a tabaxi, he is a beastfolk which is a race specific to the module im using. he has this shark boy (who is actually a human druid who fucked up wildshape) child that he met and they're both trying to find this dude Mr. Wizardly. Orzo wants him to free his academic rival and partner Cain from this magic crystal necklace and Caspian/Cas (shark boy) wants to not be stuck as a shark humanoid and be able to wildshape again. Orzo is played by @/pantaloons152

ENA: Girlfailure spider! She’s a weaver (another module specific race) that was once an elf. She was the princess of Kylandria before she accidentally killed her human friend, ruining the monarchy’s relationship with the people. fearing the consequences of her actions, she fled with a weaver who found her in the forest and promised her safety. Ena is played by @/yum3mite

CREVY: The reclaimer voice of reason! the reclaimer race is a homebrew race which is pretty much just an edited version of the foreclaimer race. Reclaimers are mechanical foreclaimers that were built to help the bbeg reclaim Ambria. She was once a human living in the Bellowing Wilds with her sister, Dolly, when this dude Marco Sinclair Yven decided he didn’t like that. CREVY is played by @/freezedom

When you're cursed to just kinda live and die and live and die but so is the rest of your family and your sister is currently dead but it's okay she'll be fine after a while...

Girl (Lo'en) and guy (Hold) just living their normal(ish) lives until Hold's sister revives early and he starts to panic because that's wrong - she's like a zombie. That's very wrong. That's not supposed to happen.

Names are basically "lo and behold" but smooshed. Only other thing worth noting I guess? Most people in the world have uniquely colored pupils - the fact Hold and his sister have dark pupils is because they've died multiple times and it's become dark over their revivals.
