I keep looking at that screenshot of Emmrich the one where he's pouting (mewing) a little looking at Rook and I can't help but keep thinking about the 'well-meaning' description of him, like, we're going to get a moment where man's so excited right? Like, he's having a complete passion nerd out moment we have to talk him down from? Maybe he wants to do something, but it's a dangerous, terrible idea
No cause like imagine that romance button popping up...
"Ah, you're quite right as usual, Rook, forgive me. I tend to get a little carried away sometimes..."
❤️: "No, I like it. You’re passionate..."

Davrin kinda gives off 'Dad who didnt really want that dog, they got one for the kids though and now he has to care for it himself' vibes

i think the point i’m trying to get at in my tags on that recent post is basically…
the more choice you give your players, the less their choices matter, just from an entirely practical perspective. at some point you have to draw a line between letting the player have complete creative freedom with their character and making the player feel like their character has an established presence in the world
that was the whole thing with origins: you didn’t just go around with a few different options based on your race; you had a very different experience depending on your origin, specifically. a dwarf noble and dwarf commoner may both be from orzammar, but their reception upon returning is extremely different. city, dalish, and circle elves have completely different experiences throughout the whole game. human nobles and human mages get very different opportunities and reactions from all kinds of npcs. every character starts off feeling like they already exist and have friends and family and complicated circumstances
personally, i’ve never found it restrictive to be given a solid background. there will always be other options that it would be cool to have, but that line has to be drawn *somewhere*
if you compare da2 and dai, i’m very glad they didn’t try to add different backgrounds to da2 because *being hawke* is so integral to the game, so to add different backgrounds they’d have to write a whole in-depth plot for each of them; it’s not just about adding a few dialogue options
that was the problem with dai. given the scope of the game, i think they was right to give you options for your inquisitor, but they didn’t have time to write them in a way that actually made them feel like part of the world. and it doesn’t help that you spend the whole game very far from home with just a few text-based missions to interact with your past
so when they say there aren’t proper background options in veilguard beyond your race and faction and you’re gonna be able to come up with whatever backstory you want for your rook… that doesn’t make me feel excited, it just makes me feel like rook’s past won’t matter and won’t be relevant at any point. what happens when we visit the place that i’ve decided my rook is from? i’m not gonna run into any friends or family or awkward situations i left behind
sure, factions will give some background, but what did i do before my current job? i’m planning to play as a grey warden, and that’s not a life you just *happen* to be part of. i must already be a skilled and experienced fighter who decided (or was forced) to leave everything behind to follow a greater calling. i could have been anyone before that… so how will they make me feel like i already existed if they’re leaving that definition up to me?

I have a mighty need for people to discuss my hype for Veilguard and my Rooks with. Most of my friends aren't really interested in it and I just really want to have some conversations where I can be genuinely excited and discuss theories and desires for the game.

Heddwyn "Wyn" Caldera is a freshman from Diasomnia. He's well known in alchemical circles for multiple revolutionary breakthroughs in the world of potions, the first of which he discovered at eight years old. Though invited to NRC last year at age thirteen, he waited a year before accepting a position at the school.
here he is my baby boy......!!!! been tossing this kid around in my head a lot lately and wanted to make a profile card for him to show him off to the world. imagine me as a proud parent and ive pulled this out of my wallet.
based off the black cauldron. both the movie and like. the cauldron itself. naturally he is good at potions. since the cauldron is essentially a mcguffin wanted by everyone the idea is that he's extremely good at what he does but is also pretty vulnerable to being used. he's also very stone-faced bc he's...... made of stone............ get it.............
template is from here!

/cyberpunk 2077 spoilers
I'm not new to cyberpunk but this is my first time progressing enough to actually meet Johnny and now I get what people meant with the whole "Solas as Silverhand" lol.
From first freaking out to that diner scene, I would actually enjoy a fanfic where Solas and Rook go through a similar emotional journey whether it's fade shenanigans or not.

I may be laying on the floor staring into the void, merely vibrating as my brain rots about Veilguard, Rook, the companions, and Solas.
...this is the perfect excuse to replay my canon route.
Apologies in advance: I'm about to make my brainrot replay a problem for everyone and everything in my vicinity.
#dragon age#dragon age veilguard#dav#those are the two tags i'll use for everything related to veilguard btw#in case anyone following me wants to avoid all spoilers#but literally i'm vibrating like you present me with all these companions and tell me they're all romanceable#and you expect me to be normal i'm sorry did you see harding's beautiful freckles?? davrin the charming warden???#you know i can't resist a charming grey warden y'all if there's a warden i'm probably gonna smash...... excluding blackwall he doesn't coun#if you don't drink the forbidden koolaid to become a grey warden then no thank you blackwall#and neve's voice in the gameplay reveal??? a necromancer with a skeleton assistant?? i'm sorry i can't#i don't know who will be compatible with my rook but right now i'm like how?? am i??? supposed to choose???#also i'm not a solasmancer so i don't have a foot in that race but he and my lavellan were bros#they were buddies and listen solas okay ash just wants to *talk* okay with words and possibly her foot#i'm excited but i'm trying to remain calm... cautiously optimistic if you will#but i'm replaying my canon route. i have to. i have no other choice now.#look forward to that sksksks#welcome back rose tabris. edgar hawke. ashalle lavellan.#oh boy can't wait to spend hours creating my rook and restarting the beginning several times until i create the character that FEELS right#i did that with each of the games sksksk i played the first hour of dai like 3-4 times before i settled on ash#i made a few hawkes before ed became my boy#and oh boy i played both the mage and dwarven noble origins and made it only a few hours in before I stopped... then the city elf origin#i played it and i knew i KNEW it would be the one#i'll need to find that with this game too oh boy
