it's the dragon age autism at work but i'm disliking playing the crows literally just because I think they should be shitty bc when you think about it, they are still kind of shitty. When i saw they were going to be a faction in this game i thought 'ohhh hell yeah that's the Stinker Faction' but they're like, good guys....i wanted them to suck :(

I can at least kind of understand why the Lords of Fortune are good guy pirates thanks to Isabela's antics in kirkwall but even then just knowing there was potential for morally gray factions is chipping away 1hp from my healthbar every time i think about it

#veilguard spoilers #and i have to save them if i want to romance lucanis 🙄#which is VERY LAME as well because not once does lucanis talk about how evil his grandma was to him!!#again i actually LOVE this game and it's fun to replay but seeing what it Should be does hurt a little aaaa #why were the writers so scared of morally grey factions and characters....what happened to the bite in the worldbuilding #it gives me the exact vibe chronically online people who hate Bad Things Occurring in Fantasy would approve of #like it's ok for things to be bad...show me that the crows actually suck #show me what it's like being an elf anywhere but especially Tevinter!!#show me dalish being protective of their history and distrusting humans!!#not to mention 'you can leave the qun anytime you want'#the person who has been obsessed with qunari lore since sten invited me back to his home was shaking #i tend to roll my eyes at the nerds who want dark fantasy (violence against women as a crutch) but i still want actual dark fantasy #when you ask for dr pepper but they give your mr pibb in a sippy cup....
