on the one hand i love harping and moaning over missed opportunities for previous dragon age companion cameos bc sometimes bioware really whiffs it (i long for the world where merrill is the eluvian expert instead of morrigan) but. on the other hand. sometimes it’s like. why would that character show up. answer quickly. the answer can’t be that it’s because you like them. it feels very reminiscent of having to accept that our wardens will never make another appearance.

#edit: panicked and added ‘instead of morrigan’ to clarify. this is a bellara love zone #‘zevran should have been in veilguard’ and what would he do. he canonically does not fuck with the crows.#like ik a lot of us are still mourning our inquisitors being super in the background and missed cameos #and sidelined love plots if you didn’t romance solas #and etc etc etc #but can morrigan be an example that sometimes an extended cameo makes a character worse ASLDJSJFJAJJDJS #like varric imo is the only continued main character who remains overall consistent #and even then depending on how you played da2 vs. inq that could be a false statement #but like. i banked on josephine being in veilguard when i figured that we would see antiva #and that the inquisition would still have some presence #she literally however. has no place in the plot of veilguard.#and also since i’m on this soapbox already #i also mourn what the inquisitor could have been in veilguard #i did love his (mine) presence where it was but also very like. blank slate insert.#i too had theories upon theories of how big the inq’s role could have been #and i went near apoplectic when bioware said that the inq’s story was over after trespasser #and i am still mad today that drinking from the well of sorrows had literally no actual impact on the story #bc solas is in rook’s head and morrigan has the aspect of mythal #however. sometimes. when i see people now be like ‘the inq shouldve been the hero of veilguard’#i just kinda. softly side eye like. we had nearly a decade preparing for this. we’ve known since trespasser that they won’t be.#and even then bioware confirmed in like. what. 2020/2021? that da4 would have a new hero #like trust me i get the umbrage and if i dwell on it then yeah past frustrations boil up #but also tbf trespasser did end with the inq literally saying that they need to find people that solas doesn’t know #besides i love rook as a hero i think they’re fun #i saw someone say that rook was brought in to make the game accessible to new players and even if that’s true #i think veilguard is near impossible to play if you haven’t played /at the very least/ inquisition and it’s dlcs #but yeah tldr. honestly as i come to play veilguard more and love it more and more i will naturally become more critical #as i am with inquisition (my beloved game that i sometimes want to uproot)#but honestly. i wanted to enjoy veilguard so after a while i just had to like. put my inq back in his toy box and accept that he’s gonna be #a bit of a paper doll for the rest of the games
