Saw your post about Solas/elf/dwarf stuff and one thing that baffles me about Veilguard is them changing elves taking inspiration for their bodies from dwarves to taking inspiration from humans (who were in Thedas now at that time I guess?), confirmed explicitly by Mythal. Like what. Why change that. The dwarves/Titans were made such an afterthought in this game it's crazy. They were like oh yeah btw the Blight is literally the world being sickened by buried/unresolved atrocities. Moving on tho

Yeah..... I just ignore that & chalk it up to another lore oopsie. Humans didn't make contact with the elves until after the fall of Arlathan. There's no way around it. Otherwise the Neromenians would have immediately clocked the Old Gods as the powerful elven dreamers speaking through their pet dragons. 😭
