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..."
#Imagine you're low approval... would he just be like#really Rook? 😒#please i want him so excited#that he goes a little stupid mode#emmrich#emmrich volkarin#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age veilguard

playing through where the dead must go with an ingellvar rook and......... oh. rook LOVES loves the grand necropolis actually huh. you can hear it in every line they say. I'm. so full of feelings I didn't expect this to hit so hard but between the voice lines, banger music and astounding visuals (TELL ME this game is ugly and that the visual style sucks while you meet me in these halls of grieving I fucking dare you) I feel second hand drenched with grief and melancholy on the inside what the fuck
(feat. lucanis coming along unwittingly meeting future in-laws and realizing that rook has been clenching their teeth with the effort of only seeming about 5% of the freak they actually are the entire time he's known them fhsadkjfsa. local man learns that the one thing future spouse is deadly fucking serious about is their role as a watcher. it's a little hot)
#it fits so well because I haven't picked up a single necromancy spell and kept holding off on going to recruit emmrich#almost like rook is so homesick he could die but also dreads being back there because he fears he fucked up#and that the place itself would reject him somehow the same way the seniors watchers did#WILL THEY KNOW ME they say about the wisps with all the fear and longing of a child!!!!!!! what the FUCK what the fuck helllo!!!!#emmrich already feels like such a healing presence for ingellvar in particular through this he's so kind and companionable with them#of course rook is ruefully wracked with grief beneath it all they're in exile. augggggghhhh#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#rook ingellvar#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#at least american masc rook DOES sound like an excited child through this whole mission it's so endearing#I had headcanoned that rye was a bit of a problem kid -- brilliant but restless and underachieving despite wanting to be good#and this works really well with that actually. emmrich. pls come help this guy heal his relationship to academia and home lol#'what *idiot* would try to break into our necropolis?' he loves this place he's so proud of this place bonding over it with another watcher#is so important to him. I need to lie down

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 could be wrong but it seems like hes viewing assan more as a weapon than a living creature in the beginning thus being so hard on him#but he does it out of care to an extend and wants to harden him so he survives the cruel hard world outside which I absolutely understand a#actually respect especially regarding his own backstory#I love davrin and assan so much and i love how you can see that he changes the way he acts even in the first scene / quest with them#the 'hmmmm its dessert fit for a prince' line had me wheezing i swear!!!!! it was so good im so excited to see how they evolve around#eachother and i love the diary entrys Davrin writes actually where he says that rook helped him stay a bit more soft and that rook made him#think about his past and his clan and ugh im rambling but i love this!!#datv#davrin#assan#datv spoilers#the veilguard spoilers#veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#spoilers

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?
#da#dav#personal#long post#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age critical#i’m tagging that for blocking purposes NOT because i want drama or discourse#i’m excited about the game and also about coming up with my rook#i just want to feel more attached to them than i do to any inquisitor i’ve tried to make

WIP for an Dragon Age AU thing. I have no idea when I'm going to finish this, but I low key wrote a fic about it, so...
The only thing I got out of Veilguard is frustration and AU brainrot. If the writers are going to do stupid shit to the lore, then I'm allowed to go wild with it too and have Hawke, Sten and DA2's Arishok stand in for Rook, because they would bring some much needed drama and character to the role. We are all suck in this mess, but we do it in an entertaining manner.
#they bring their allies and friends and there's no reason to flatten and sanitize the world#bc they kinda suck so the world is allowed to kinda suck too. they will figure it out#so purple Hawke is the Knight#Sten is the Rook#and the Arishok is the Bishop#Arishok gets to wear green and gets a halla pin bc he's been spending these last 10 years exiled with a Dalish clan#he smokes a pipe and is low key pen pals with Merrill. if you consider writing essays at each other to argue philosophy and ethics that#functions as quartermaster/diplomat and won't get out of base for anything less exciting than a dragon. he has standards#he can also be coaxed out to deal with the First Warden bc he doesn't trust an unsupervised Hawke around figures of authority#Sten has been released from his role as Arishok after the Ariqun's scheming set the Antaam off so his worldview is still shaken#he went back to Ferelden to join the HoF but there are weird darkspawn movements there so HoF lent him to Hawke hoping he'd be safer there#a blight is no place for someone working through a crisis of faith#he wears traveling clothes but kept his weapon so it still has that arishok-red wrapping#he liked being beresaad so he can be something like that again. survey this mess and find all the enemy weak spots and supply lines#pets all the cats. argues the merits of having something sweet with every major meal with Lucanis#purple Hawke is the main stand in for the player character so he gets to be all... Hawke at Solas#he comes attached with Fenris. for good or ill#Solas won't even know what hit him#could I write an entire fic with the premise? sure. do I want to expend that kind of energy on Veilguard? hell no

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!
#twst oc#twisted wonderland#his fave food is veggies bc i think being a 14yo boy who eats Spinch and Enjoys It is funny#im still turnign over his unique magic in my head........ i think the thing i initially wanted for him im keeping for his eldest brother#he and deuce get along well (he is a cauldron) but tbh i dont think he has many other friends#i think theyre parters in pe and i think he tries to tutor deuce in potions and i think both these things go badly. u kno how it is.#if he put as much effort into his magic as he did his potions hed be a prodigy there too. unfortunately he likes Stir and Brew.#doted on in science club. rook praises the shit he works on and he gets so excited and happy and trey is just glad theyre getting along#tbh i dont think trey realizes at first baby is literally world-famous hes just like. theres a kid in this club. ill be nice.#has a good rship with crewel overall tho theres always an odd line for him to walk btwn 'this person is a revolutionary genius at potions'#and 'this kid is fourteen and the most awkward child i have ever taught' u kno.#he ta's in the third years class sometimes. as you do#looks up to malleus and dislikes lilia (too playful/unserious for his tastes) respects silver a lot but finds sebek Very Rude#(they are seat mates)#OK THATS A LOT OF THOUGHTS FOR TAGS and i wnana lie down. think abt my baby please. ok goodnight#wyn stuff#how do you art
