Dragon Age: Vows and Vengeance (Ep. 8)

Official episode transcript here

My notes while I was listening under the cut… Spoilers ahead!

Yikess I still can’t tell if this straight up isn’t Elio or if he made a deal with a demon out of desperation and (gestures vaguely) everything he’s describing now

RETURN OF THE QUEEN (NEVE)

moment of silence for the innkeeper who will inevitably have to patch the holes in the wall left by Varric shooting bolts randomly

“What I think is that Solas is five steps ahead of us. He could be anywhere. Dug in somewhere in the Hinterlands, or for all we know, right under our noses” always the Hinterlands man 💀

“Tattered Veil” name fo the tavern. Fitting!

Oh how I missed Drayden acting all nerdy. Get them a book club with Cassandra please

Varric: “For the love of nugs, how could anyone survive in the Fade for so long?” side eyes Here Lies in The Abyss. sweats.

Someone organize a nice quiet vacation for Nadia because girl can’t catch a break since childhood. Plus this “mansplain manipulate manslaughter” moment from not!Elio isn’t helping lol

Speaking of, it’s giving demon of despair or maybe envy. I’m just glad it’s not desire again lol 

Huxley del Vecchio = associate of Neve’s wow there’s a lot of “italian” surnames

Minrathous catacombs make Darktown sound almost cozy

Demon: “I...am...Maeror!” Varric: “Yeah, and an asshole” LMAO you say tell that again

Drayden WHEN did you have time to practice dance moves

Neve: “Harding, do you see those columns?” Harding: “What? Oh, great thinking. I'm on it.” Rook, somewhere else: I have a great idea involving collapsing columns and two gorgeous women. I’m sure it’s nothing

Oh shit the demon has been stalking her since childhood? My money’s definitely on Despair

I still think Elio despaired so much that he gave in to Maeror

“The Hissing Drake” Varric mentions is a cocktail made of cinnamon + rum from Llomerryn + “Hirol's Lava Burst” which Oghren liked and that should be enough to understand it’s pretty strong stuff

Nadia’s voice 🥺 I can hear the smile

I almost hope to see Drayden and Nadia mentioned in Veilguard (safely and from a distance thank you) but also let them rest 😭
