Y'know, I think my favourite thing about the whole Ivenci situation is that they pretty obviously don't entirely believe what they're saying. Like... ah yes, the Crows refuse to follow due process and have no respect for the government and are just running around murdering people for no reason. That's why you're constantly coming to their meetings (which you were presumably informed of and invited to given if you weren't you wouldn't know they were happening) and insulting them to their faces. Truly the behaviour of someone who thinks they're dealing with renegade murderers with no respect for authority, a group that would definitely respond to being constantly insulted in their own home by someone they had no reason to invite to take part in their meetings outside of at least some level of respect for the Antivan government with *checks notes* moderate cattiness. Like genuinely if Ivenci thought the Crows were as lawless and awful as they say they wouldn't keep picking fights. Because if the Crows were as bad as they say they would've been extremely murdered long before things got to the end of the Treviso quest line.
It's also very funny to me that (if you saved Treviso) after all that talk about how the Crows don't respect the Antivan government and think they run the country the punishment they decide on for Ivenci is... giving them to the proper authorities for a public trial. And then they get real mad about you letting Jacobus choose... to give them to the proper authorities... for a trial carried out by the Antivan judicial system. I'm sorry Ivenci, would you rather the Crows engage in some extrajudicial stabbing? I thought that was bad. I thought you thought the Crows shouldn't do that, Ivenci. Goodness, it's almost like all that stuff about the importance of Due Process only applied in their eyes when it benefited them as governor of the city or something.
#dragon age veilguard#dav spoilers#anyway i love ivenci as a character. great fun. but i think some people greatly overestimate how good their motivations were#and also how right they were. like the crows aren't perfect but if ivenci's claims were accurate they'd be dead by their second appearance#ivenci: how dare you act like you run this city! you should obey the law! and respect due process!#the crows: okay. we're giving you to the proper authorities to be put on trial for all that treason you were committing#ivenci: wait no not like that-
