something i don't think gets talked about NEARLY ENOUGH regarding Dragon Age: Veilguard: If you pick certain options and let enough banters play out, MULTIPLE companions will for all intents and purpose signal their plan to change factions post-game.

Taash can become an honorary Antivan Crow and seems to be legit into the idea by game's end (also Harding like the cape). Like, if they were a returning companion in DA5 I could EASILY see them having joined up (or at least become associated).

Bellara can flat out ask Neve to join the Shadow Dragons. (edit: OR apparently can ask to join the Mourn Watch?!?!)

Davrin can signal he's planning to spend a LOT of time with the Veil Jumpers and the griffons once this is all over (and a big part of his banter sequence with Bellara AND his tertiary content with Rook involve his realizing that the Veil Jumpers' aims are different than the Dalish he grew up with).

Like, that's FANTASTIC. No one is ever permanently any one thing, and I love the idea of some of the companions realizing "hey, actually, this works better" and they've built those connections and networks and so hey, Antivan Crow Taash? Sure, Teia will make them a cape. Shadow Dragon Bellara? Hey, they took the ex-templar Rana, they'll easily take her. Etc.

DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD (2024) Arlathan Forest

[escapismlover]

the fact that damn arlathan forest has exactly zero sylvans in it despite there being pages of them in the artbook is a cardinal sin

Statue of Mythal and Elgar'nan from Ancient Elvhenan in Arlathan I know there aren't statues like this but I wish there were. Based on the Pallas Athene fountain in Vienna

One of the real critiques I have about this game is that I haven't gotten an apology for The Sylvan Centipede.

I mean yes there was dialogue and some sort of explanation about the "tree people" but also. What the absolute fuck.

"This game isn't dark enough" - this shit literally haunts my nightmares.

honestly, i think it was a really smart move to show us arlathan forest before hitting us all with d'meta's crossing.

everything just went from happy and colourful and mildly distressing to desolate and grey and very much disturbing. arriving at the docks with a dense mist surrounding the village, the stands not just abandoned but left in a hurry with fresh fruits scattered about the ground.

then there's the barricade.

rook asking "to keep something out?" and neve replying "to keep something in.", and she points out the pillars which are not actually inside the village but right outside of the village. fucking terrifying.

when you found your way in, you see nothing but blight. red, pulsating, alive blight. you might have thought there was a lot of it in arlathan forest, but those bits easily pale in comparison to what is d'meta's crossing. only a handful of people are left... not alive, just a shell of a person, but at least they are breathing. the rest is swallowed up by blight.

of course, there is also the corrupt mayor and the dragon. and you as the leader are faced with the choice to save him or leave him to die (or send him to the grey wardens), and boy did i feel bad later when i decided to save his sorry ass when everyone except for neve (forever my beloved) is very much unhappy about this decision. the game later rewards you with being able to find him as a willing venatori during 'blood of arlathan' to really drive home how shitty of a decision you made this early in the game.

d'meta's crossing really was... a humbling experience and i think it set the perfect tone for the rest of veilguard.

Arlathan Forest🌿

The Veilguard era Morrigan, Kieran & Farron Mahariel feat. Barkspawn the Mabari & Twigs the Snake <3

I like to imagine Morrigan is the one who founded the Veil Jumper or is at least one of them hehe

Details below if you're interested:

Farron & Morrigan have matching nails Kieran & Morrigan have matching eyeshadows! This family slays too much lmao

Also, I included Farron patterns/palette into Kieran's outfit, they share stances too haha Gods I love these three too much help

And yes, I gave my rogue Mahariel a snake pet! Twigs is venomous, and he keeps that poison in his ring just in case hehe Serpentine designs are part of Sylaise's visual identity. His daggers (Tamlen's) are snake shaped, his belt buckle too. etc. (2022 art)

PS. As I'm still very new here, I thought I would share some of my favourite artworks from before I joined Tumblr again, I hope you'll enjoy them!

Bellara Lutara. After seeing her pictures I am in love with her ❤️
