Wait hold on did they just randomly drop that Emmrich is vegetarian??

[doomednarrative]

Fucking crying that this is the romance option for Emmrich after watching him corpse whisper a murder victim laying right in front of you both and it's Especially funny if Rook is also Mourn Watch cause they're both nerds and freaks about it

[doomednarrative]

Actually wait I have a question for other Veilguard players:

Personally I've found myself very fond of the knife and orb combo over the staff, I feel like I have better control over combo actions with it and I wanted to know if anyone else felt the same

[doomednarrative]

Behold my Rook, Amaris Ingellvar, Death Caller for the Mourn Watch ~

@darlinghowl @lovaboy you both get a tag to see him because I legit wouldn't have bought the game without your influence lol

[doomednarrative]

Finally found casual clothes that Amaris would actually wear and thank god you can see his cool tattoos finally

[doomednarrative]

Getting to the Necropolis finally means I got COOL CLOTHES FOR AMARIS

[doomednarrative]

HMMMMMMMM

Y'know I think one of my favorite things about Veilguard ended up being that Rook is not some Special Chosen Person. Sure they clearly have a rebellious streak with the faction given background, but they arent Special for it, just unrulely at most. They're Varric's second in command at the start, they're not even the one leading this mission to stop Solas, and it's only because Varric ends up out of commission that they have to take over as leader. I can't speak for other DA games, I haven't played them yet, but I'm so used to a lot of other fantasy protags being some chosen one or having Something special that makes them fit for leadership. Rook decidedly Isn't by the games default narrative, no matter what your personal headcanon is. They have to actually work to be a competant leader and get this whole team together, and they Do fail at times and are very visiblely not perfect at it, and I really enjoyed seeing that struggle, it Felt very real to me the deeper I got into the games plot.

I have not posted enough pictures of him recently actually so here he is ~

[doomednarrative]

This food list in the pantry is taking me out for a number of reasons but the biggest ones are A. if you have Rook ask about something sweeter on the coffee break with Lucanis, he seems to remember that and will independently offer to make the chocolate drink for them again as one of his idol dialogues, and it gets added to the grocery list. And B. They have a book club?? with wine and everything?? Everyone actually hangs out together to read and discuss stuff in their downtime thats so cute...

[doomednarrative]

Reading thru elven lore for DA to see what exactly I should take into account for Amaris if I want to expand on him and realizing that, by making him a Mourn Watcher with Veilguards given background, I've effectively placed him outside both Dalish and city elven ways of living like at all, and this was by pure accident on my end.

[doomednarrative]

HELP I LOVE THIS

[doomednarrative]

REALLY enjoying Veilguard ngl I'm having a fuckin blast with this game

[doomednarrative]

I'm obsessed with him actually

[doomednarrative]

Releasing my playlist for my Rook to the wild for anyone who cares to listen ~

[doomednarrative]

Solas: Rook...I led a rebellion against Elgar'nan for a hundred of your lifetimes. I have been where you stand. Solas: Do you know how many times I had to order my rebels to retreat when we were outmatched by raw power? Solas: You rendered Ghilan'nain mortal and escaped with your lives. Solas: The sting of wishing you had done more will push you to improve, but Weisshaupt was a victory.

This exchange is going to haunt me actually
