Sometimes I think about how Dragon Age's entire existence seems to have been an uphill battle against EA since it got turned into a series after Origins (which iirc was basically done by the time EA bought the studio) and I am both so thankful for the work the devs put into it to make each entry in the series work as well as they could under whatever circumstances they had but also bitter at how constrained they were/are and how much they get forced to sacrifice for trends like multiplayer. It feels like a curse to be such a long time Bioware fan and hearing certain criticisms where you're like "no wait, they didn't want it to be like that, here's what happened behind the scenes that made it have to be that way and how it was the best scenario they were able to carve out, but yes I also understand that it being the final result gives unfortunate implications" and I think about what being on the developer side of things must be like
#jaderaven post#jaderaven talks dragon age#/turning off reblogs bc this is more a vent post than an analysis#/I've been playing bioware games since I was 12 with kotor and started following dev stuff with dao#/it's been... something watching what happened since the ea buyout in real time#/ALSO I feel like I should say that I genuinely LOVE veilguard!!!#/I love the gameplay and visuals and sound design and music and characters and stories overall#/but I can also see where the seams of it being rebuilt so many times as well as the layoffs and budgets#/also not saying the devs are perfect flawless beings asjkdjshds we're all human#/edit to remove the readmore bc I wanted to yell a little louder after all

New Rook!! His name is River Ingellvar (he/him) and I already love him 馃槍
#jaderaven post#jaderaven talks dragon age#jaderaven plays datv#river ingellvar#/(trying to use tags people can mute if they wanna go into datv blind without putting these in the general tags)#/I meant to just brainstorm a look in the cc and try out the warrior combat but just kept playing#/and similarly meant to play on a lower difficulty setting for a faster playthrough#/but the gameplay is just SO FUN I turned it back up to the average setting lol#/technically my third rook but adaia is on standby

Ah!! The relief I felt seeing John Epler come back to bksy and setting boundaries while still offering clarifications!! Glad he seems to be okay, it was really worrying seeing him get treated the way he did

Kicking my feet as I jot down ideas for a Rook de Riva/Lucanis wedding in addition to the tidbits devs have already given even though I probably won't have time to draw it all
