ill be honest ive seen a lot of people criticize the romances in veilguard but i havent seen anywhere near as much criticism for the sex scenes which is baffling bc theyre just?? so bad???? i like some of them in a vacuum as individual scenes but the fact that they all take place at the same time because bioware Had to have a mandatory sex scene for every romance at the exact same point is so ass (not to mention that the timing is literally RIGHT after the unavoidable death of either harding or davrin like okay??? literally could not think of worse timing). like some of them just dont fit at all, bellaras is literally a confession scene that results in immediate sex (feels ooc for her but they dont even show anything that could lead to sex before the fade to black, so whats even the point?? again it just feels like they had a quota they were trying to stick to rather than making choices that fit the characters), and davrins just straight up does not work because by that point the climax of the relationship has already passed (and if youre going to put a sex scene during the climax of the story, then yes, it SHOULD serve as a climax for the relationship, pun not intended).
#dragon age#veilguard critical#datv spoilers#veilguard spoilers#da4 spoilers#i have only seen 4 of them but like. man#im just thinking about how during pre release marketing they were asked about ace romance options#and then said that they couldnt fit it into the way they wrote the romances like. what the fuck are you talking about#not even remotely true? out of the 4 ive seen taash was the only one who felt like their romance HAD to result in a sex scene#lucanis and bellaras scenes couldve easily been regular romance scenes. like just make the sex part optional#if you wanna be extra lazy you dont even have to change the scenes themselves just add clothes to them in the pillowtalk scenes#and davrins scene i just dont think adds anything to his romance & i say this as someone who adores him & someone who loves GOOD sex scenes#davrin and his romance are my favourites in the game. and id rather have gotten just a regular romance scene instead#and like yeah some of his romance banter is sexually charged but i genuinely think it *could* just pass as nonsexual intense flirting. like#nothing about it says this HAS to result in sex no matter what. maybe this is just the acespec in me speaking but#idk i think its fucking stupid to say that ace options were just impossible. no bioware just didnt think to consider them#they didnt give a shit bc whoever was in charge couldnt imagine romance routes that didnt fucking end in sex#bc apparently its impossible for allos to date ace ppl without fucking and be happy. like fuck off#i hope whoever made the decisions for these wakes up with a thousand locusts in their bed every morning for the rest of their life
