My boy looks a little different than last time 👀

YES, I FINALLY DREW KAL AGAIN AFTER A YEAR OMG-

[zoromashii]

I like to think as everyone else was putting together their outfits Kal was desperately trying to tie the wire to his wrists with only those two claws and his teeth

I don't really know what I've done here but here's lion kaladin, thanks @stormlight-archive

"I wonder what your family is like in your universe, Furry Rick?"

In terms of my family currently, Kal is basically my child. He's quiet and likes to doodle. He's a bit of a picky eater, but I can live with that, it just means I have to adjust what I make for him

In terms of my Smith family... they are not around

Wanted to draw Sonic in a summer getup, since summer is officially here(even though it feels like it's been here for months now...)

For Sonic's hands and feet, I was inspired by @dilfsonic and their artwork <3

WHAT? I never said I was. There's nothing wrong with being one though.

A list of things that bother me about Dragon Age: The Veilguard Part 2

I already touched on a few things that caught my attention and personally irked me about the game. After getting through some more of it naturally a few more points have come up. Though I think they are not really new aspects but more concrete examples of what I had touched on last time.

Without further ado, let's get into it.

!Spoilers below the cut!

The dialogue is repetetive and at times contradictory

Like I already discussed last time the dialogue is bad, to express it in the simplest of terms. As I progressed through the game I stumbled upon a glaring example for what I mean.

In the questline where you infiltrate a Venatori meeting there is a part where Neve in disguise and in company of Rook and another companion gets a Venatori to admit that Elgar'nan was present but not Ghilan'nain. For some inexplicable reason Neve turns around and repeats this twice as if Rook wasn't present.

But moving on.

I stated in my last post that the game feels the need to state the obvious. This is what I mean. It makes the dialogue feel like a rough draft that was incorporated into the game without further polish.

As of its contradictory nature two examples come to mind.

In Harding's companion quest you meet this dwarf of Kal Sharok. His dialogue is stoic, no bullshit straight to the point and passionless. Which was fine. But after several minutes of him being that way they get to stone statue Valta who speaks in these misteryous riddles and suddenly he switches to this unserious tone of "Oh that weird statue, we never know what she's saying, ain't she funny." (I'm paraphrasing here). I was confused for half a minute because of his sudden change in attitude and left wondering what his characterization is supposed to be now: serious or quirky?

Same thing with Taash's whole story. This is especially upsetting because I feel like they could have done such great work with it.

Instead it suffers so much from several inconsistencies that I felt sorry for the VA because they actually did a great acting job.

Taash has a coming out scene with their mother where they reveal they're non-binary. Ignoring the usage of modern terms in a medieval-ish setting, the conflict about their gender makes no sense.

The writing wants you to believe Shathann is not okay with her child being non-binary but she never actually expresses such a thing. Actually Shathann sort of had an inkling that Taash was no ordinary woman ("Behaves more like a man...") and she never passed any negative judgement on it. When Taash told her this she even tried to understand by categorizing their identity into qunari vocabulary she knew (remember the term aqun-athlok?).

I get how hard it is to have an overly critical mother and the feeling of not being good enough but that was not what Shathann was about in that scene and it did Taash so dirty because they looked more like an entitled teenager than someone suffering from trauma and perfectionism.

Some old characters are mischaracterized

It's Scout Harding. I mean Harding.

I was really excited to have her as a companion in the new installment but they sort of butchered her character that I found myself annoyed everytime she opened her mouth.

And this is because they make her sound so immature. Really think about it. DATV somehow makes Scout Harding sound younger and more childish than she was in DAI despite the fact that she is supposed to be a whole decade older in DATV than in DAI.

I don't know what direction her VA recieved while recording but everything was pronounced so slowly and extra clear that it seemed at times that Harding was either talking to a confused elderly person or a child.

She herself uses expressions not fit for her age. The most jarring moment was when she called the Blight in D'meta's Crossing 'weird' and sounded like a teenager who has stumbled upon furry art for the first time on deviantArt. This pattern pretty much continues throughout the game. And it hurts so much.

Also Morrigan. She at least still uses her even for DA setting standards antiquated vocabulary but she is too happy and cheery and friendly.

Morrigan is not a nice person to those she does not know and like personally. But to Rook she was so nice despite having met them for the first time.

The Morrigan we have come to know love/hate should have been more snarky or at least more neutral in her demeanor.

The Venatori

I don't know why they are still a thing honestly. I was under the impression they have lost all footing after the death of Corypheus. Why would they follow the Gods of the people their country systemically abuses anyway?

Bonus: Why would the Antaam for that matter, as the qunari are so notoriously arcanophobic that they leash their mages, sew their mouths shut and literally call them "dangerous thing"?

Solas' spy network and agents

What happened to them? Where are they? Shouldn't he have a small army? Why weren't they used as the gods' agents instead of the Venatori? Surely, Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain would have an easier time simply controlling Fen'Harels elven army after imprisoning him in the fade.

The Chantry

It is just not present. Sure there are some Chantry buildings but there is no discussion of faith. In all previous DA games the Chantry has had a constant influence that could be felt everywhere. Faith was discussed and explored from various angles and perspectives, ranging from ultra conservative to progressive. But in Veilguard it's not there.

Why are we not exploring the Tevinter Chantry more? Why doesn't Emmrich discuss the nevarran Chantry, who follows the Sunburst Throne in Orlais, in regards to the Mournwatch, their necromancy practices and magic? Why was he not affected by the mage uprising that started in Kirkwall? How does he deal with faith and the Chantry? It is simply never mentioned.

By all accounts, this game avoids delving into the world like the plague.

my roommate is traveling this weekend so i’m nominally responsible for Larry: The 17 Pound Cat Who Will Not Stop Going “AAAAAAAAAAA” Until He Is Fed (But Also Has Literally No Memory Of Ever Having Been Fed [And Will Therefore Beep Angrily At Me Because He Is Hungry Even Though He Is Literally In That Very Moment Halfway Through The Can Of Wet Food I Gave Him Roughly Three Minutes Prior]).

anyway i’m a great roommate and friend so I like to send Kal cheeky little pictures of what Larry The Bastard Boy is up to, and I just happened to catch him looking incredibly goddamn cute:

Ohohoho I thought to myself, this pose is so great, Larry’s not screaming for once, know what, i’m gonna switch to portrait mode. Get that dramatic lighting, fuck around with the F stop, make some goddamn art

And then the Consummate King of The Tiny Furry Assholes decided to do a new expression for our big photoshoot and I

Like

Have you ever in your entire life seen a living animal do dreamworks face this hard.

Who’s Kal?

"Kal's a small alien I found abandoned. He looked alone so I took care of him. When I found his parents, they... Weren't the best. So I kept him.. he seems to love me for it, too."

Sigh.... yes?
