they make me sick

[halamshiral]

forever in love with the disconnect between how davrin presents himself when rook first meets him (tough, uncaring, wary of rook, just a bodyguard) and what he slowly reveals himself to be during the game (the softest, kindest and most passionate man you've ever met who will follow rook and the gang to hell and back).

I apologize in advance about the person I’ll become when this game comes out

Oh so I'm just supposed to be normal about this being romanced Emmrich's final relationship status???

So I don't know if this is different if he chooses lichdom... but think about what this means in a world here he doesn't. Where he chooses Manfred, he chooses being alive. Emmrich's greatest gift was never his magic or his intelligence, it's his heart. His boundless respect for the dead, his kindness to the living, his love for spirits.

Lichdom would have meant separating himself from that. Lichdom doesn't just mean Emmrich giving up Manfred, it means giving up his ability to truly love and grieve. The liches have to surrender their mortal attachments. They remain aloof and apart, because they cannot afford to let their grief, or their love, cloud their judgements.

When Emmrich chooses to save Manfred, he chooses a finite life of being close to his loved ones, baring himself to all the fear and loss and joy that comes with that. He chooses to embrace his love for them and theirs for him. He looks his fear of death in the face and chooses to brave it, and by doing so he gets to stay himself: a kind man with huge emotions and a huge heart.

He will die. But his love will still have changed the world, and Manfred, and Rook, in ways that will linger long, long after him. He's alive, and he loves, and that matters. It will always matter.

Love undying.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

[ageofthespicylizzard]

I finally started playing Veilguard, y'all.

[confetticutey]

funniest shit seeing a very small portion of Dragon Age fans complaining about Emmrich being an older human companion that you can romance when Solas is quite literally thousands of years old

[lunian]

companions, with Lucanis' romance, chill: you are a thing now, huh? sweet :)

companions, with Emmrich's romance, not minding their business at all: were you having a date in a damn graveyard, is it okay with your age difference, hey Emmrich you lose concentration with your work because Rook is so damn hot young and distracting for you isnt it, are you fcking with skeletons involved, hey Emmrich are you even able to do it in general because I can give some advices—

And you know what? I'm glad we can't be assholes in Veilguard. Like not only would it make less sense for the hand-selected savior of the world, who was exiled from their faction specifically for being the kind of person who selflessly risks their own safety and position in order to help others, to be an abrasive douchebag, but also the writers potentially thought "if this is our last Dragon Age hurrah then we sure don't need to court the fucking bigots" and I respect the hell out of that decision.

[oraculis]

also pour one out for the loss of the iconic bioware animations in veilguard. i'm going to miss "lean against door/pillar" and "pointing behind with thumb while body turns slightly" 😔

My Rook: I'm so happy to be together with my new, kind-hearted, smart, mage boyfriend :') Unfortunately he's trying to become immortal??? and I don't think he's realised that this will fundamentally change him in a way that separates him from everything he loves, or that this ambition is clearly driven by his deepest fears and insecurities -

-So hiring the Demon of Vyrantium was your suggestion. -It was a possible lead. Finding things and tracking Venatori, that’s what I’m here for.
