Davrin is my favourite character, so im kinda scared to ask, but what Assan comment? (Sorry in case you dont want to discuss it more, feel free to ignore the ask :))

dav spoilers

You have a choice to sacrifice Davrin or Harding during a quest. If Davrin dies, Assan dies with him.

I've known about this for over a month but I've been waiting to hear the dev's intent for this choice before deciding how I felt about it. :(

Fans are more bummed by a bird's death than Davrin's. The devs can't control that. But the fact they knew this would be the case, that they went in that direction regardless and purposefully, makes me so frustrated.

It's not just the optics of an animal giving the black companion's death emotional weight. It's Veilguard's approach to stakes and attachment and consequence as a whole.

The writing feels so impatient, like it's rushing to get to the good part already. Sticking wholesome companions in cozy situations to endear them. Killing the cute griffin for guaranteed feels. It's constantly taking the easy way out.

They played it so safe it feels dispassionate. Disinterested in complexity, disinterested in giving characters faults and biases and fears that are messy but resonate. Interested in having beloved companions and big moments, but not in the build-up to get there.

It's not just that Davrin and Assan are a package deal death. It's how cheap and uninspired it feels.

I feel so torn to have to say all this. And on DA Day no less. A day so magical templars are forcing it into the Circle. But the writing in Veilguard is so polarizing for me. I get that there were many many internal issues that led to this. A shortage of time and manpower to lore check. But some things I just can't rationalize.

It's just a game etc etc but I'm so in love with Dragon Age I can't help but mourn a little. Sorry I kind of just unloaded the yap clip lol I'm done.

The little beast is getting on Mihawk's nerves.

He usually prides himself in very little truly bothering him ㅡ after all, there's also very little a sharp look and the threat of a blade won't fix ㅡ but for such a small cat, Kurai has a supernatural talent for irritating him.

From the shredded feathers to stealing your attention and time from Mihawk as a whole, Kurai has embraced his nature as a little four-legged menace.

Tonight takes the cake though. When Mihawk enters the bedroom, he fully expects to be able to take his place in bed next to you as he always does when he's here.

Only to find a frustratingly familiar mass of black fur in his space. And as if knowing that Mihawk is staring at him, Kurai opens his eyes and stares back.

"Little beast," he says, "you need to remove yourself from my bed."

Kurai blinks slowly, stretching ㅡ and then yawns and curls back up. Mihawk's eyes narrow. He entertains the brief thought of using Yoru ㅡ and honestly he would, if he thought it'd work on Kurai.

You shift, and both he and the cat still as you roll over in your sleep. Mihawk's expression softens as he takes in the peace of your face before he reaches for Kurai, scooping the kitten up.

Kurai squirms in his hold, mouth parting to sink tiny white teeth into his hand ㅡ only to freeze when Mihawk gives him a look of icy warning. He keeps hold of the kitten as he climbs into bed, taking his rightful spot beside you.

You subconsciously move closer, curling into him, and Mihawk finally lets go of Kurai, who mews in disappointment that he can't curl up with you the way he normally does. The kitten gives him a look of disdain as he's forced to settle on your hip instead, watching Mihawk as he kisses your forehead. Smirking at Kurai, the kitten all but glares daggers at Mihawk in return.

The war is far from over, but at least he's won this battle.

I beg of you. What would Loop answer for Isa? Is it a variation of "You know he's never made a wish. Especially for you."

Also bonus: any answer in particular you'd like to share that you didn't in your comic?

Hoho, you have fallen for my trap card, because I am going to list out dialogue for ALL the possible answers that I didn't do in the recent comic! You will be subjected to long answers because I have not written in a WHILE.

But first, OW, no yeah, I think Loop would answer with what you mentioned, though maybe they would be vague about it, because I don't think Loop would know what Isabeau wished for since in-game Siffrin only finds out at the end of Act 5. It would be a very fine line between wanting to make Siffrin feel bad about himself but also a bit of self-deprecation.

But let me put all the answers right here under the cut for y'all <3

Loop: Who do you think sent me to help you?

"The Universe?"

Loop (LOL3): That's kind of a cop-out answer, isn't it? The Universe leads, and we can only follow, so obviously they had their hand in sending me here! Loop (LOL5): What, did you think you could weasel something out of me for that pitifully vague answer? Well, tough luck Stardust, you're not getting anything!

"The Favor Tree?"

Loop (Thinking): ... The Favor Tree isn't exactly a person, you know? Why do you think it would put me here? (... You feel like you were onto something, since The Favor Tree grants wishes, but it's not exactly making them, is it?) Siffrin (Disbelieving1): I guess I mean that someone wished for you to be here with The Favor Tree...? Loop (Well2): ... in a sense, I suppose. Loop (Teehee2): Bit of a weak answer, though. But nice try.

"One of my allies?"

Loop (LOL2): Well, which one, Stardust? Siffrin (Um1): ...

"Uh, Mirabelle?" Loop (LOL1): Is it because you think she worries too much about everything? That she was worried about poor, poor you and enlisted me to help you out? Loop (Well2): ... I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to imagine it. Loop (Happy1): But no, it wasn't her.

"Uh, Isabeau?" Loop (Well2): ... I thought he didn't make a wish at The Favor Tree. And besides. Loop (Subdued): What makes you think he'd make a wish on something like that? Loop (Fake1) [dialogue occurs if Siffrin has gone through the Bad Touch Event]: Do you really think he would do that for you?

"Uh, Odile?" Loop (Well1): Hm, that does feel like the most level-headed option, doesn't it? Loop (Happy1): But no, it wasn't her.

"Uh, Bonnie?" Loop (Looking Away): ... no, Stardust, it wasn't them. Loop (Well2): But I'm sure they would have if they were given the chance.

"The Head Housemaiden?"

Loop (Considering): Hm, she did say that the loops were broken, didn't she? That she couldn't fix it by herself? Loop (Teehee1): A good answer, but not the right one, unfortunately! She didn't send me here.

"Uh... I don't know?"

Loop (LOL5): Here I am, asking you a question for once, and you can't even be bothered to give back a good answer? Loop (LOL3): I'm you and you're me, and you couldn't even wrack your silly little head for something you'd think I'd say? Disappointing! Loop (Teehee5): Oh well! I was just curious about what you'd thought. I won't ask again!

"It doesn't really matter, does it?"

Loop (Oh): ... it doesn't? Siffrin (Neutral3): "I don't need to know why you were sent here or anything else." Siffrin (Serious): "You're the me that got out of those loops, and you're helping. I don't care about the rest." Loop (Looking Away): ... Loop (Fake1): ... I suppose you're right, then. (... You get the impression that Loop's not happy with your answer).

Imagine making a game series where your past decisions shape the history of your world and even can decide who might show up in a later game from time to time, that you even had a special site to log the changes. Just to reduce the 'big decisions' to . . . that.

I mean, I'm happy for a particular group of people who probably feel vindicated but there's more than just them playing the game. Not to be 'what about the rest of us' but you know . . .

We can say Solavellan I don't care 🤧

I think Solas is fun to dig into and [despite craving a Dread Wolf boss fight] I'm looking forward to seeing him again, he's so weird, I want to see what new mean things he has to say

That being said it feels like this dude is holding my agency as a player — and the game as a whole — hostage

Losing the power of the anchor and the arm along with it was one thing. Losing control Rook's personality just to tell this specific story of 'Solas seeing himself in them' is another. And now to have everyone's world states revolve around events that directly affected him?

This is a choice-driven role-playing game. Every route and origin should feel complete. There should be no path that feels more canon than the other. Not because of ~appeasing every shipper~ but because of replay value, immersion, and having cool community discussions coalesce around the world and not primarily one guy.

People are frustrated for perfectly good reason. And to not only be flippant about that but also sneer & giggle together over it is so petty, clique-ish, and mean-spirited. Its giving high school girls bathroom. It's not cute!

in relation to this tweet from Jojo, which I love - I’m amazed by the number of posts I’ve seen suggesting that Nick is an innocent victim of manipulation from Boston. no one is saying Boston isn’t messy as fuck, but he’s been so clear about his feelings and what he is/isn’t looking for. he’s told Nick multiple times that while their relationship might develop in the future, he is only interested in casual sex for now - and Nick has willingly agreed to this kind of casual, non-exclusive relationship. Boston has absolutely no obligation to be ‘faithful’ to Nick, or to tell him which of his friends he’s attracted to. Nick wanting things to be different doesn’t make it so.

violating privacy and boundaries is clearly a theme with Nick - he expresses interest in Boston by leaving suggestive photos on Boston’s phone, having already gone through (and jerked off to) Boston’s personal pictures. bugging his car takes it a step further.

(I think there’s something to be said about the way Boston’s promiscuity and open sexuality seems to make his right to privacy seem trivial or less important than that of someone more reserved - it’s fine that Nick jerked off to Boston’s personal photos, because Boston slept with him after; Nick only secretly recoded Boston having sex because Boston led him on; Boston’s a whore, so it doesn’t matter, he was asking for it… but that’s a post for another day)

this isn’t to say that Boston is an innocent victim of Nick’s behaviour either - my point is that categorising them simply as Manipulator and Victim is reductive to the complexity of both characters. they’re both interesting, fucked up, flawed people, and that’s what makes them compelling as characters - and what makes it fun to watch as they make each other worse.
