What could be better after a hard day's work than gossiping with a good friend about arrogant stupid aristocrats

The hot springs are right above the concert hall, so I think she often rested there after her performances

All the beetles I met in the hot springs in the game didn't look any less dressed than usual (take Millibel or the beetle in the Colosseum), so I decided that this would become a cultural feature

I mean, all the hot springs look like public places, and there is literally nothing fenced off, so in the world of my humanizations, everyone just wears light clothes for immersion in water

So after the concert, Marissa just takes Lurien by the scruff of the neck and drags him to live a better life at hot springs with expensive booze and gossip

if your significant other/best friend were turned into a vampire, would you want them to turn you into one too?

and, vice versa,

i absolutely understand there was no way to account for every single choice ever made-- that's literally impossible across so many games and so many years and so many changes. i do, however, think that 3 games worth of established lore should be worth something and like.... addressed. there are always going to be things that are retconned over time, i even said previously that i liked some of the changes around the qunari that happened back in inquisition because it felt like a step in the right direction and finally fleshing them out and establishing their culture in a meaningful way. but that's not what's happening in veilguard. they do the opposite. with everyone, the qunari and the elves and the dwarves and even the humans. they get reduced to generic, bland, homogeneous, nonreligious groups that all get along amongst themselves. the dalish elves are either just dead in the background (which to be fair has always been a consistent feature of these games lol) or absorbed into the veil jumpers, who are a huge mix of humans and qunari and elves, etc. kal-sharok gets literally Nothing despite one of the main companion quests taking place there-- there are no dwarven politics like we've seen previously, the kal-sharok aren't even especially isolationist nor do they take any time to explore their proximity to tevinter (and what they did to keep trading with them), or the blight and darkspawn (and how it's changed them and their relationship to orzammar). the qunari are all antaam, just faceless bodies for rook and co to kill because they needed more enemy variety, and what we do see with shathann and taash does not cohere with what we've learned previously about gender in the qun. the chantry is basically nonexistent despite two games setting up this massive conflict between mages and templars, despite veilguard literally revolving around massive revelations of faith… and i know we're in northern thedas so the chantry and templars do function differently, but our only two templars we get a lot of interactions with are "good guys" (and rana specifically can get up on her high horse about it with neve with no option for us to give her the third degree like she's not a fantasy cop whose coworkers are paid off by rich magisters lol) like... these are huge, glaring changes that do not align with a lot of what we've seen in previous games and also have nothing to do with complex branching choices.

i find it really interesting how you can write dialogue that mean the same thing with a completely different vibe, and at the same time convey a character's personality and possibly relationships, just by changing the way it's worded

for example, to tell someone that they should be more open, a character might say this:

"you should open up more."

pretty blunt and straight to the point, something a no-nonsense type of character would say. or they might say it like this:

"you can tell me anything. i'll be here if you need to talk about it."

which says it without actually saying it, and also gives off a comforting vibe, for if the character doesn't want to be direct but wants to show the other that they care and will listen. like if they're talking to a friend or someone close. or they might even say this:

"just speak up, why don't you? no one's gonna know what's wrong with you if you don't say anything."

this one sounds annoyed and comes across as commanding, in a way.

and sometimes you don't even have to change the wording much, just the tone can be enough to completely do a 180 on the vibe. compare:

"hey, stop worrying about it." they sit next to you, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder. "it's not the end of the world."

to this:

"hey!" they stand up, raising their voice. "stop worrying about it, it's not the end of the world!"

the first one sounds relatively comforting and reassuring, compared to the second one, which sounds more like they're telling you what to do aggressively.

i just think it's neat, y'know?
