i finished veilguard and i kinda need to write smth down cuz idrk how this game should make me feel atm

spoilers for dragon age the veilguard below the cut

i dont think i liked veilguard this much tbh. it wasn't a total disappointment but i expected a different game altogether. theres not many aspects i enjoyed about it and when i think about replaying it in the future im like "... im not looking forward to experiencing any of this again" like there wasnt a single point in the game i really had fun playing?? idk

the characters fall completely flat for me. theres no one i think was cool or fun interacting with during my playthrough. i think i liked taash a little? like at least they were funny sometimes and their dialogue seemed genuine most of the time. spite was also funny sometimes. i think i liked spite more than i liked lucanis which is a shame. the least boring guy was probably davrin, i might check out his romance in the future cuz i liked assan and yea.. davrin was really ok tbh. the absolute worst character for me was harding??? harding was so fucking annoying all game and she was just... not at all like harding. all her lines were so obnoxious and just idk. i think the dialogues overall were just really bad cuz i actually enjoyed most character arcs, i even thought hardings was amongst the strongest. i also didnt like that you could never just chat with your companions and ask them about their lives or whatever, you had to wait for them to want to talk to you in order to be able to interact with them at all and overall the companion aspect of veilguard was just trash. they mightve wanted to go back to da2 or ME style but this doesnt fit modern games anymore imo and just made me not care at all for any of the companions. the romances were way too short too. i liked the romance element the most in any given dragon age and its always been important to me so veilguard fucked this up bad imo :/ theres like 10-20 hours of gameplay at a time where your romance does not progress at all and at times i thought it bugged out but apparently its intended to be this lacking in content

speaking of characters.... rook was really unlikeable to me? ANY dialogue option was horrible cuz rook is just a very annoying, terribly written protagonist

the map design was ok i think... i wouldve preferred the inquisition approach and for everything to be less linear and streamlined. seeing bigass fogwalls with an actual interface LOCKED symbol isnt very immersive??? just let me explore on my own wtf. while some locations were cool and beautifully designed, especially dock town and treviso, exploring them wasnt that engaging since there wasnt much to see. ive seen people on here say most of the locations seemed like theme parks and i agree, especially the necropolis and hossberg

obviously it feels bad for decisions in previous games to not matter at all, i feel like this used to be a core mechanic to all dragon age games and now they just dropped it

the cutscenes however were all very good imo, the overall story of the game was great and especially the cutscenes were super impactful and emotional, i cried a BUNCH during this game. i just think its funny how the small scale writing is so bad but the overarching story was good? id say the game is not worth it outside of the main story quests and some companion quests. theres probably a billion people out there who would disagree with me saying the main story writing was good but i think it was just fine to focus on solas and the aftermath of his actions. at least solas didnt suffer much from bad writing in this game and he continues to be one of the most interesting characters to ever exist probably. every scene featuring solas was great and whenever he wasnt present the quality took a nose dive. tbh morrigan also stayed true to her character id say and she also kinda carried the game

i fuckin hate this weirdass dalish art direction overhaul? stop with the fucking futuristic gadget triangle look??? this doesn't give elf fantasy at all, i think i disliked bellara and the veil jumpers MOSTLY because of this shitty design choice

i legit feel insane mentioning this but i DO NOT get how meredith was irrelevant?? they showed the red lyrium idol in the teaser, they confirmed her return at the end of absolution and i was 100% sure she would somehow be relevant in the veilguard story but she just....wasnt. i truly dont get it. but at this point theres a billion characters that shouldve been relevant given the themes and locations and they just werent. we had plenty reason to see characters like zevran, merril or fenris again. i AM grateful for the cameos we got tho, i was really happy to see familiar faces every now and then

the dragon fights are the best in the series imo. theyre not elden ring levels of cool but they are the best in all of dragon age. the combat system was really nice and dynamic, i was looking forward to this and it absolutely delivered. i WOULD replay veilguard to try a different class/build

the character creator was good, transmogging was good, i liked having a few specific weapons and gear pieces for different combat stats...... yea

i feel like.... everything in the game is just kinda washed out. theres barely any conflict in the world OR between the characters. everything is giving super weenie hut jr. vibes and i dont say this bc i want broodmother stories and abuse back but did we really forget about the crows trafficking children? did we forget about slavery in tevinter? why is none of this shown, it feels like this was erased to be as palatable as possible

there was sooooooo much missed potential with this game... or my expectations were too demanding idk. when i saw 12 eluvians in the crossroads i got SUPER excited for all the possible locations, even hoping one would open to kirkwall. but that never happened and besides the main locations the rest was just used for one-time companion quest visits.

overall i expected more... its not a terrible game but i really was hoping for something else. my opinion might change and i might be overly emotional and aggravated bc i literally just finished a couple hours ago but at the moment... im not that happy tbh. i hope my feelings about it calm down over time. mostly im disappointed cuz the game just came out and is, like all the other dragon age games, something completely different and its not another origins or another 2 or another inquisition. and i mean why would it be? we already got those games so ofc veilguard is something entirely new. maybe once enough time passes i can enjoy the game for what it is but at the moment i feel very "meh" about it and kinda miss the other games

The trip through the forest was far more pleasant than the first one the day before, for one singular, major reason, Elinor had been allowed to walk on her own two feet this time. She guessed they believed she wouldn’t run off now, she still had Theodore and Alec flanking her, the rabbit leading the way and the mouse following behind with the most monstrously sharp blade Elinor had ever seen slung across her hip. In the mid morning sunlight that managed to seep through the heavy tree tops, the bluish-purple of the forest seemed ever more surreal, but at the very least they still smelled and acted like normal plants, in that they didn’t move or react to them passing through, and the birds still sounded like birds. She took careful mental notes of the route they took, trying to commit some of the more oddly shaped trees to her memory with the hopes of finding them again on her own later “how long is this walk anyway?” she called forward to their snowy haired guide “We have to have been walking for almost an hour now, are we getting close?”

Theodore paused his conversation with Auryn, who drifted along and didn’t have to tire himself climbing over roots, and looked back at the humans as if he’d forgotten they were there “oh right…it should be about another half hour, the trip used to be much shorter, but we have to enter the village from the far side these days, the cards have moved into the local lord’s manor and treat it like a fortress” he looked at Imogen and then at Claudia, the youngest of the group who was huffing and puffing along, her silky black hair swept back into a haphazard ponytail at some point “do we…should we take a short break do you think?” rather than actually answer him, Claudia took the question as an invitation and plopped herself down on a raised root with a heavy groan, Elinor knelt down beside her, her legs only truly starting to ache once she settled into the cool grass and relaxed them.

Imogen knew better than them and stayed standing, leaning instead against the trunk of the next tree over, rolling up her shirt sleeves to ward of the warmth that would come with the approaching midday, Alec lingered beside her “so how much of the Orracularum did you end up getting put on your arm? That thing is crazy long” she examined the crisp black lines of the tattoo “does it work like the real deal?”

Imogen chuckled “ it goes all the way up, I’ll show you later, i wanted it straight up my arm but they had to wrap it to make it all fit in” she put a hand up onto her shoulder to indicate where it ended “It never did anything up topside, but Theo did say a copy of the Oracularum becomes an Oracularum, so who knows, it might work” she mused, imagining the tattoos shifting and squirming across her skin, if it worked, would she feel it? She had to stop her mind running off with curiosity, she looked back at Alec “what about you? Any new scars to show off or still just that big one right across your-”

“Ey! There’s a kid here!” Alec shushed her quickly “no, I don’t have any new ones, at least no significant ones, most of our scuffles have been pretty small, we haven’t been able to make bigger moves until now” as she spoke she was watching Theo, who was already growing visibly restless “Have you all caught your breath now?” she looked mostly to Claudia for her answer “we can’t stay still long, and we’re almost there now”.

They saw the village well before they entered it, as Theodore had said, they were going to enter from the far side of town to avoid the grand house that loomed on the outskirts by the treeline, instead they picked their way along the forest edge until the trees thinned into shrubbery and then into small local farms lined with vegetable patches, the village was quiet, and almost fairytale like from the outside, but as they got closer Elinor started to see the cracks, literally, in the walls, both from age and whether but also seemingly some sections of the wall had been struck by something, and the houses they past all seemed to have at least a few broken windows, patched over with old weekly newspapers or sections of heavy cloth “was there a fight here?” Imogen looked up the road towards the main section of the village “Can’t imagine this place is terribly strategic, and aside from the gate there’s really nothing here between Deighton and Clesas”

“Especially since Clesas doesn’t exist anymore” Auryn chuckled stiffly “that place burned to the ground, every last building, took their bloody queen with them” he drew a finger across his neck “there's hardly any spades left these days” he turned in the air to look back at Imogen “as for the attacks, It’s those Card bastards from the red queen's army looking for us, they seem to have caught on that we’re in the area, or at least think we might be, they’ve been boosting their presence lately, and aren’t particularly well behaved, that's actually why we realized it was time to summon you all, Theo was real hesitant to even consider it” he drawled, as if it was all the most mundane topic in the world “well anyway, It won’t make much of a difference in the long run, we’ll mind our tails until the heat dies off, maybe point their bloodhounds in another direction if we really need to” he flicked his plush tail emphatically.

As they got past the smaller farms and into the town properly, Claudia perked up next to Elinor “I hear music!” she declared, her dark eyes shining “do you think there’s some kind of festival going on?” and truly, there were some notes carrying between the sturdy buildings, somewhat resembling the sounds an accordion would make.

“More likely a funeral, If this place has just been attacked” the blonde sighed, shaking her head.

“Thats such an Else-sider way of thinking” Theodore snorted derisively in response “you lot are always really fixated on death”

“Says the guy who brought us in to fight a war for you, and What is an Else-Sider?” she bristled a bit at yet another weird title seemingly being foisted on them, though at least it was better than an Alice

Alec rolled her eyes and poked her head over from next to Imogen “Else Side is just the common name for your world, relax. It literally just means you’re from the other side of the gate, He’s trying not to call you an A-”

“Alright i get it” Elinor nodded quickly, cutting her off from saying it again “ I appreciate the effort” she shrank down a little, she felt kind of foolish for snapping at him.

The tension made Claudia squirm and she quickly piped up again “the music sounds pretty happy, I don’t think its a funeral, it could be really fun to see, lets go!” she pleaded, tugging on the wrists of the other two ‘Else-Siders’ on either side of her, Imogen smiled slightly and started leading the younger girl along the road towards the sound, they were in town to scout after all, so if something significant was happening, well, really it was their duty to go and investigate it, right?

A few streets closer now, the accordion was joined by twinkling chimes, they rounded a corner, and there amongst the debris of the attack and the scuffed up market stalls was a small carousel, faded paints and worn leather strip harnesses clutched in the hands of a half dozen small children, even at a distance they could see that several of the villagers watching were bruised or wrapped in bandages, many looked tired, but not a single one seemed upset listening to that festive tune.

Alec caught up to the group first, Theodore and Auryn hung back in the shadows to avoid being recognised “what…exactly are we seeing here?” Elinor looked at the mousy woman beside them “This mood is…” she shrugged, unable to find the word

Alec nodded “this is how Alfeans handle things, negative feelings aren’t something that we’re great at processing so generally folks will just pick something better to focus on instead.” she shrugged “that carousel was built by another Al- Else-sider decades ago, the story goes that it was based on something from their town that was precious and they wanted to share, of course not everyone is on board with else-sider things just being scattered around, so you don’t see many of these anymore” she explained quietly, watching Claudia dart away from them to go play on the carousel with the other kids “It’s even powered by the same kind of magic you use on your side”

“electricity?” Elinor tilted her head, she supposed that in the right context electricity could be considered a kind of magic

Alec recoiled a little and raised an eyebrow “elec-what? no, I mean commands, that Alice commanded the carousel so that it would be able to run any time they wanted” she saw the scrunched confusion on Elinors face and frowned a little “You don’t know about commands?”

Elinor shook her head and opened her mouth to ask about them, and instead she stumbled over her words trying to warn about the red-clad soldiers that had entered the far side of the square, glaring down the crowd around the carousel, each of them wore leather armor stained a deep cherry color and embossed with curlique hearts and roses, she could tell at a glance that it wasn't armor that saw battle, they were here to intimidate. Alec looked over her shoulder in time to see the soldiers wrench Claudia and several other children off the carousel, tossing them haphazardly into the crowd of parents "I told you folks to keep off this thing!" Barked one that Elinor assumed was the leader "you've ignored our warnings too often, if you won't disassemble this heathen contraption, we'll do it for you!"

"Case and Point" Alec grumbled, pushing her sleeves up her forearms and slipping into the crowd under the shouts of protest, a moment later Elinor saw one of the soldiers at the edge of the group suddenly disappear below the view of the crowd, and then it all became a flurry, rippling out from the center the villagers began to shout louder and charge forward.

A short distance away Theo gave a cheery whoop and Elinor caught sight of an ax being drawn from his coat, and all the blonde could do was grab Claudia and a few of the other kids and try to retreat from the brawl. She spotted Imogen after a moment and tried to pull her free from the chaos, only for the young woman to shake her off wordlessly and throw a punch, Elinor wasn't quite sure who she was aiming for, she couldn't really keep track of any individual person for more than a few seconds.

Despite the few soldiers, and even fewer people in her own group that seemed to be fueling this fight, rather than die down is seemed to swell out of control, overtaking the entire cobbled square with flailing limbs and shouts, All Elinor could do was gather her little assemblage of children and retreat into the side streets, she didn’t know where any of them lived or who she could return them to since it seemed most of the town had been gathered there, but she led them away all the same, Claudia nudged her arm as they walked “that was kinda wild huh? I wonder if Alfea is like that everywhere?”

“I would hope not” the Blonde scoffed “anyway, lets hurry up, we can probably make it back to the gate before these lunatics finish their brawl” she glanced over her shoulder “quick, we don’t want to draw their attention too much”

Claudia let go of Elinor’s arm and stopped moving “even if we could leave right now, why would we? this place is so cool” she shook her head "besides, we need the Bringer, we need Theo, to go through the gate" she pointed out. She must have recognised the confusion in Elinors blank stare "he didn't tell you, did he? The gate isn't always open, otherwise Anyone could come and go, it needs to be opened"

"So We're trapped here, then"

"Well…yes, but it's really not as bad as all that" the girl offered quickly, raising her hands to ward off Elinors temper "Alfea is really cool, so it's not the worst place to be stuck, and Theo promised that if we help, he'll take us back home, we'll sort it out, no problem!" She offered.

Elinor huffed and looked away, but if the gate was closed it wasn't like she had a better option right now "fine".

slow burn/fake date/enemies to lovers with Alice, Ada, and Jill

DAMN you that's hard.

I'm gonna steal your answer and say enemies to lovers with Ada because I also want her to hold a gun to my head or knife to my neck. And because she'd probably find me SO annoying at first and want to get rid of me.

I could never have a slowburn with Alice because she was ready to kiss every girl within like 5 minutes of knowing them in literally every movie. I would be the idiot taking too long but she'd be shooting her shot within an hour. I would just follow her around and do everything she says and she'd like propose to me by the end of the movie. so yeah, I'll fake date Alice, maybe we're hiding from Umbrella or something.

Slowburn with Jill because she's too traumatised to ever acknowledge her feelings LMFAO
