oh man did a ton of Veilguarding yesterday. this is why I never got into video games; when I first got into CR I was literally just binging nonstop for like six months to the detriment of literally everything and that was way less destructive to my productivity as I was listening to it as a podcast, so I could like, clean and go on walks. Anyway keeping it relatively brief:

some sidequests require things I still do not have, despite having my whole party. This is irritating to me, a person who loves checking off tasks. what do you mean I have to wait until some caves open. Also I thought my computer was glitching because I couldn't get the quest marker but actually it was because I had to follow some ghost around the Warden fort in Rivain.

Returned to Dock Town for the main quest (meeting Morrigan, more on this later). I know some people have been hard on Neve's voice actor. They are wrong. Jessica Clark keeps hitting that "I am hanging on by a fucking thread and you will not have the pleasure of seeing me break" mark flawlessly. Anyway feels bad feels organic. I did clear a lot of blight from the catacombs and kill some Venatori, so Neve is less mad at me now (she wasn't too mad all things told; while she remains the only party member who like, repeatedly disapproves of my choices, I do take her out questing a lot); this did however go Not Amazing for me when I remembered she can't heal anymore because I was like oh Neve and Davrin seem like the perfect crew for this! and then I was like SHIT IT'S POTION TIME I GUESS. (I was fine because again, I am on Easier Than Easy mode, but I did go through a bunch of potions).

Met Morrigan and also the Inquisitor. Insert Zac Oyama "this is a huge moment for everyone but me."

Accidentally lost a timed Lucanis conversation by triggering a Solas memory. this is the worst. The party conversation was incredible though. I have four of the statues by the way (me trying to get Lucanis and Neve to get together faster by taking them on fun Experience Traumatic Ancient Elven Memories missions) but the fifth eludes me, and I've only watched one of his regrets thus far.

Davrin you gotta get more friends. please fucking talk to Emmrich. I know everyone thinks he's weird and creepy, except for Bellara, who he has explicitly told to relax more, but please have New Dad Bonding Time. You are so chatty and it's fun and interesting but also you're SO chatty.

Had the Taash gender conversation. This was great on two levels. First, while I am a cis woman irl and played this as a cis woman in-game I felt the options were very thoughtful! like yeah actually if you look at womanhood and your response isn't "misogyny sucks, but external forces aside yeah, I feel like this is my body and this is who I am," hit da bricks! Second, I love how Neve is like yeah my contacts who are fighting for their lives in a blighted city can talk to you about being trans! average queer friend group. sorry shadow dragons. I was familiar with your game but I had an impossible decision.

Bellara got the archive up running and it is so fucking mean. I (external real-world person) think this is so fucking funny. Rook is annoyed. I do love Bellara's story though. would love for like, companion quests to happen. I think I have to go to the fucking wetlands which suck. They made Antoine and Evka so charming because FUCK the wetlands.
