DATV is overly reliant on Supplemental Media - especially if you are a returning player

TL;DR: Supplemental material should not be required reading in order to understand what's going on in the main game -> it's additional material that enhances what we were given. If what we were given is lacking and unable to coherently tell us a story, then the writers and those in charge did not prioritize what was important.

Not a take that's unique to Dragon Age, but one that is very relevant when talking about DATV. I've made a few posts about plot/story points that either make no sense or have been dropped entirely in the lead up from DAI to DATV. Every now and then I get a few comments or messages about how certain points I made were addressed in supplemental material released in the lead up to this games release.

This isn't a call out post, by the way! But it's frustrating, to me, that this games writing is so lacking that my understanding is being inhibited because I can't remember details from a book I read two years ago - not to mention various podcasts, comics, and short stories. My understanding of a video game in a video game series should not be reliant on additional/optional content.

DATV is a weird game in that it is absolutely a 'soft/scorched earth' reboot while also marketing itself as a continuation to what was set up in Inquisition and Trespasser. Personally, I think that if you are up to number 4 in a game series, one with a continuous story-line, it should be expected that new players won't be able to catch up to everything -> it's the game developers job to make the world and story intriguing enough that the new players will go back to previous games in the series and fill in the blanks themselves.

Veilguard, as a sequel, is overly reliant on content that comes from outside the games themselves (including DLC's) if you want to make sense of the world and story. Trespasser left us with an epilogue that set up some plot points for the next game: Solas & the Veil, the Elven Rebellion, and War with the Qun - plot points that have been built up since the time of Origins. But when we get into DATV two of these points have been dropped and resolved, off-screen.

There are more questions, but these are the ones that bothered me the most while playing the game:

What happened to the Agents of Fen'harel/ Elven Rebellion? -> answered in a cursed reddit AMA.

What happened to the Qunari following Trespasser -> addressed in Tevinter Nights, and a codex entry you can pick up (optional).

Why is Skyhold infested with demons? -> mentioned in Tevinter Nights.

How did the Dalish go from worshiping their own pantheon to knowing they are false gods? (specifically those we meet in the Veil Jumpers) -> mentioned in the Missing comic series.

What's up with Nevarra's Royals? -> Tevinter Nights addresses that there is a power struggle in the Pentaghast family and the role of the Mortalitasi in making it worse - though it does not address the whole 'mage puppeting a corpse' issue and all the implications it has.

This is a video game series -> the bulk of the information required for me to understand the story and its relation to previous entries needs to be included in the final game version. I am playing a video game and not attending a uni class - I should not need to have a required reading list in order to understand what the fuck is going on. I should definitely not need to go onto a reddit AMA to understand what happened in-game, either.

What makes this stand out the most is that DAI was very successful in tying in previous games, DLC's, movies, and books! Inquisition did a great job in getting you up to speed on the events of the previous games early on, providing personalization if you played those games, and giving the player the opportunity to inquire into these events.

Hiding away the answers in additional material or a codex entry that may be missed is not good game design or good writing. DAI didn't assume that you had bought and played the Legacy DLC -> it made certain you experienced the conversation with Varric and Hawke if you wanted to proceed in the game. It didn't hide away imperative information in codex entries - it had characters talk about it in scripted scenes and encourage the player to ask more. You would actively need to avoid interacting with characters for you to not experience this information in DAI.

Leliana talks about her role during the Blight, her calling by the Maker, and her relationship with Dorothea/Justinia -> DAO and Leliana's Song DLC.

Cullen talks about his time as a templar at Kinloch & Kirkwall -> DAO and DA2.

Cassandra speaks about her history, investigation into Hawke, and the Seekers -> Dawn of the Seeker movie, DA2, & Asunder novel.

Varric talks about Hawke, Kirkwall, and Corypheous -> DA2 and Legacy DLC.

Cole talks about how he discovered he was a 'demon' - it leads to further conversations about Rhys, Evangeline, and Lord-Seeker Lambert -> Asunder novel.

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts -> the game literally continues what the Masked Empire novel sets up, the Orlesian Civil War. The game does a decent job of telling us about the players (Celene, Gaspard, Briala etc...) and the reasoning behind the conflict through dialogue, the ability to explore the battlefields, quests, ambient dialogue, etc... The book is not required reading - though it greatly adds to the complexity of the characters, motivations, and political intrigue!

I never once, playing DA2 or DAI, felt penalized or like my experience was lacking because I had not engaged with supplemental material or DLC's. I got into Dragon Age when I was in high school, it wasn't until I graduated and began working after that I had the disposable income available for experiencing the extra material. I cannot say that for DATV - If you have played Inquisition and go into DATV straight from that you will, absolutely, be confused about how we got from A to B.

Which is especially strange to me!? Why is it that new players will be less confused than those that are returning players? It's like the game is actively punishing you for playing and caring about previous games in the series.

Supplemental media is bought because the main product has earned your investment, love, or interest. Not everyone has the income available to buy it with their own money - especially if you live outside the US and have to pay additional shipping costs. Not everyone has the ability to buy or 'obtain' the digital versions either. My understanding of the main story of a video game in a video game series should not require additional monetary investment into other mediums.

The game itself should be enough and DATV is not enough.

I just reread the Masked Empire and was struck again by the idiocy of Celene. For all she tells us that she’s a masterful player of The Game, most of the evidence in the story is to the contrary. The first big gambit we see is her diffusing hostilities by asking her Champion to duel Bann Teagan with feathers, thereby ensuring that while honor is satisfied no one is hurt and their alliance with Ferelden holds. But lets analyse that a little. For one, Bann Teagan could have taken the duel as yet another insult. Gaspard openly derides Ferelden royalty as little more than bandits and idiots (and I don’t understand how that doesn’t make him the aggressor who insulted Teagan’s honour first but... Orlais thinks itself above everyone I suppose.)

and then Celene interrupts to suggest that Teagan demand a duel before Gaspard can, leaving her to decide the choice of weapon. She choses feathers, and the only feathers on hand are Chevalier crests. Teagan could have easily taken this as further mockery, but thankfully realises that she’s an ally and allows himself to be made fun of to diffuse tension. Notice Celene left no room for Ferelden pride. She relied on Teagan realising that the Chevaliers were being mocked first, and playing along.

For another, Celene congratulates herself for knowing her fickle courtiers will delight in the spectacle but utterly fails to consider how the nobles (ie. The people who actually give her material support) will see it. Chevaliers are revered in Orlais. They’re all nobles prancing around with a code of honour and license to do whatever they like to peasantry, pretending they’re clever and honourable people. It’s a pretty easy critique of the ‘code of chivalry’ romanticised in a lot of fiction - they have the appears of honourable knights, but the peasants suffer for it.

And they hate being made fun of and will fight to the death to defend their honour. Celene should know this. Yet she mocks them anyway and is then surprised when a number of the nobles, who have relatives who are Chevaliers if they are not Chevaliers themselves, turn around and support Gaspard. This shows how little she actually understands what motivates people. And then there’s the genocide against the elves of Halamshiral. Gaspard creates a play insinuating that she is too distracted by her Elven lover to rule the country and Celene, thin-skinned as she is, decides to prove him wrong. And she knows he wants her to react with violence. She knows he’s forcing her hand. But she considers doing so to be ruining his plans. When all she’s doing is proving that she is exactly as short-sighted and dim-witted as people think her to be. So not only is Celene a vile, murderous and self-obsessed ruler. She’s also stupid and easily manipulated. Gaspard insults her, so she does the opposite of what she’s accused of, thereby playing straight into his hands. There will be no elven university students or traders when she’s burned them all to death, she undoes all her work she claims to care about.* Gaspard later says that when someone flinches, it teaches him where to hit them. And Celene flinched, and praised herself for flinching. So in the future all her rivals have to do is insult her in the right way, and she’ll do exactly what they want just to prove them wrong. And it’s a shame none of this made it into Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts because it is vital information when picking a ruler. Celene has only successfully ruled Orlais because she had Briala by her side, propping her up and telling her how to win people’s hearts. Briala understands people, Celene does not. Celene is an ineffectual ruler who fancies herself clever and misses the forest for the trees, focusing on clever pageantry over actual tactics. Briala is cunning and plays the Game masterfully, if ruthlessly, while caring about elves and servants. Her weakness is Celene and she can be encouraged to continue abandoning her. Gaspard is a glorified thug who is clever and cunning, but ultimately understands military tactics more than he does The Game. He’ll outmanouvre someone on the field but won’t really stand up against politics. It’s noted that when his military gambit fails, Orlais descends into chaos almost immediately and under his rule the whole thing would collapse. He loves war and little else. Given this, Briala is the best choice for Orlais because she understands a little of both Gaspard and Celene’s worlds while actually trying to make things better. The Dalish clan Virnehn used and betrayed her, but she didn’t let that stop her trying to help them as well. I question how well she could control Gaspard long-term, given he’s better than Celene, but since we’re not given the option to have Briala control Celene and I also question the wisdom of putting her in close contact with her abuser...

*To be clear Celene visibly does not care about elves. She cares about being perceived as a wise and benevolent ruler who people serve unquestioningly and loyally out of gratitude for not being oppressed as much as they might be. imho she’s pretty clearly written to criticise white saviour type characters by showing them as the self-absorbed idiots they really are. I enjoy Celene’s character very much and wish we could see more of her. But I enjoy her specifically because we’re shown the stark contrast between how she perceives herself and what she truly is. (Briala is my favourite and she deserves the world. Solas made a big mistake.)

[what-the-fuck-khr]

my favourite game is sending my sister posts criticising the beauty industry for all the shit they’ve brainwashed women and young girls into thinking they need to do and then she either says smth like”but they want to do that to feel better about themselves” or ignores it bc she doesn’t want to ever acknowledge or admit that she also was and is brainwashed by the beauty industry into thinking she NEEDS to do these things to feel better about herself when inherently the problem is that she shouldn’t fucking care about it in the first place. but she does. and she always did. she was one of those high schoolers who were too scared to leave the house without eyeliner on or some shit. anyways

like. I sent her a post saying bro this is insane this woman got fucking plastic surgery on her EARS bc she though her earlobes dropped too far and thus they were too long. I said that’s crazy. and she said “well if it makes her feel better” THE LENGTH OF HER EARLOBES!!! SHOULDNT HAVE MADE HER SELF CONSCIOUS IN THE FURST PLACE!!!!!!!

but I can’t get heated or angry bc obviously she’s also still brainwashed by the beauty industry so of course she doesn’t understand or see these things for what they are. lmfao
