now there was no reason for lucanis to be given purple johnny silverhand as a plot point and then never have the purple johnny silverhand utilized except for maybe 3 or 4 times in the game (if you saved Treviso, otherwise it's twice) and dialogue. Dialogue where he pretty much just says weird and funny things and occasionally gets scolded like a dog which is entertaining sure but there is Literally A Demon In One Of The Companions Why Is This Not A Bigger Deal

#i think i've pinpointed what annoys me about the treviso vs minrathrous thing #it's not that neve or lucanis get mad at you but that you can't like. fix it. or talk about it.#you get 'punished' for picking one and it feels like it should be Worse #lucanis Especially winds up suffering in content bc of it and he's already hurting with content as it is #but apparently according to m kirby he never stops feeling betrayed which is valid #but why can't we fix it? or confront it? Why can't we have a rival situation? or see the effects of spite bc of it.#bc the Hardened thing is literally Nothing on both of them lmao oh no they wont heal me i guess #this man should be pissed at me and apparently he always was? despite us being friends? sort of? by the end?#like it's not even that Lucanis gets Mad at me (wish he'd show it) it's that this is a bioware game and i should be able to confront this #but no. just a choice where ultimately nothing happens but a map change and you don't get a mission/certain cutscenes #and lucanis or neve will go 'i'm doing this and you don't get a say' like ok that's fine and deserved #i just think spite should've potentially taken over lucanis more in a rival situation bc he's so hurt by the worst year of his life #and spite should be gnawing at the bit because this and the rest of the horrors pisses lucanis off #i also think neve should've tried blood magic for funsies esp if she becomes super determined to protect Dock Town but whateverr #i know these tags are slightly off topic but the point is SPITE SHOULDVE BEEN USED MOREEEE i'm so mad #honestly in my deluded hopes that this was going to be truly Bioware i thought Lucanis was going to have an anders situation #and spite would be more in control even if it's still Lucanis. just more volatile and sad.#and maybe it was going to be difficult but the idea that you could've potentially saved him by proving you were going to be there for him #ughhhh it's so annoying and depressing. I do like veilguard i do but this is the moment my love for it waned a bit #like sorry i think Lucanis/Spite should've turned Illario's head into wine if you didn't save Treviso. I think he should be that messed up #but i also thought this was going to be a thing that was going to happen with more companions lol cries for what should have been #prawn posts #veilguard critical
