I am suffering from Needy Bitch Disease with a comorbidity of I Don't Want to Annoy People w/ OCs disorder

[poetryofyouth]

yeah so. i just. experienced. some things. in Veilguard

hnnggggg so i think i got at the BIG BIG GIANT Elven Lore stuff wayy too early because I always do everything that is possible to do before advancing the story bc i am worried about missing out on stuff and. lets just say.

Now in hindsight the thought that EA wanted to make DAV "accessible to new players" and an "introduction to the series" seems absolutely ridcuous. People who have not spent YEARS obsessing over Solas and the Evanuris and DA Lore, people who have not played the previous games just could never experience these lore revelations the right way.

I was having almost the same level of "WHAT THE FUCK. WHAT THE FUKKKKKKKK" the characters were experiencing. The last few months i was OBSESSING over everything Dragon Age. I can't imagine hearing that kind of stuff and just not rly Getting How Big Of A Deal That Is.

I have not yet decided if I am cool with the lore revelations, i am sure many many people will hate it, but it seems solid so far. Will need to think about that. Am still hella overwhelmed.

And then, after learning all that stuff pre-weisshaupt, I went to talk to Solas, thinking rook was gonna be like "Hey ASSHAT I know everything about you now". But no, it seems we are not supposed to really know all that that early in the story yet or sth. Was kinda funny tho, got my blood pressure to normalize a little bit.

And then Weisshaupt. Not all THAT special at first.

But then Rook Casually says "... Davrin will kill the Archdemon" and I am tearing at my hair screaming internally only because i live in an appartment building and i can't actually scream externally at 1 am but i am. Screaming. And then they just gloss over that. And then after the cutscene they hit you with the little relic you can click at and look at and

"Joining Chalice. Recovered from Ostagar" augh ugh augghh ahg taking 10000 spirit damage over here.

Like, they did that ON PURPOSE ughgh. Evil.

Then Davrin solemly mentions, while we are slicing our way through a million darkspawn that he knows he will die killing the archdemon and he's cool with it and i am just like. NOOO BABY PLEASE NO

And I am thinking, maybe maybe that asshole first warden I knocked out (hilarious btw that all of them greatly approve except for emmrich who apparently values being polite more than saving the world), maybe he will kill the archdemon. AND THEN I WAS SCREAMING WHEN HE ACTUALLY STUMBLES IN, WANTING TO STEAL THE KILL.

I was absolutely like, yeah sure man go right ahead, idiot. lmao. that was very funny.

we survived i guess. i didn't expect that the team would actually kill Gilly that time because well that would be too early and too easy. feeling very very sorry for Lucanis and Davrin.

But man this game is taking it out on me bruh i am. unwell. thinking about everything.

AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO KISS ANYONE HELLO??????
