I like that Tarquin has acne. It's gotta be stress acne, right?

That would make sense. I mean, I know I'd have stress acne if a fascist, supremacist cult was openly infiltrating every sphere of my government and I had to rely on my friends & neighbors to try and reduce harm, protect the marginalized, and keep each other afloat.

Oh, wait...

Day 2 of 'Dragon Age: Veilguard' cocktails

Neve’s Winter from Tevinter

recipe and tasting notes under the cut

in a chilled open coupe

2 oz irish cream (i used 5 farms) 1 oz coffee liqueur ( i used kahlua) 1/2 oz iced espresso 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream (like kiwi sized scoops) a fist full of ice cubes

put everything in a blender to just barely smooth, you want some little ice chips

pour in your glass and garnish with a snake of caramel and a few coffee beens

I chewed on my ideas for a while and there is a bit of dialog from harding about iced coffee she saw in tevinter which is described as basically a real dunkin donut’s frozen nightmare and since Neve's diet is already all fast food and bad coffee why WOULDN’T she treat herself to a little chain restaurant mudslide style treat. I dropped the vodka to lower the abv and make space for grocery store cold espresso to up the caffeine which felt right. She’s having fun but she’s ALERT. The caramel sauce is mentioned by harding but also it was fun to draw a little ribbon reminiscent of her ruffles and snakes.

The beans do add a wonderful nose to each sip as a garnish you can crunch em if you a real coffee freak. This is delicious and very easy to drink. it’s really nice in a coupe instead of a big applebee’s punch bowl because by the time you start going ‘eh this is too much’ you are done, drink’s finished. I stand by keeping the ice a lil chunky because it slows you down and gives a fun texture. I’m not going to stop you from ordering a drive-thru fried fish sandwich to enjoy with.

I heard the Shadow Dragons were the coolest kids in Minrathous so...yeah.

At this point, we don't play the game to finish. We play for screenshots, headcanons, fic writing, and delusion.

Sir, this is the queer vigilante club

We're cool with blood magic here.

love the bit if the viper gets blighted when he’s like “i know of magic that may slow the corruption” you can just say blood magic man we’re all friends here

Just two average coffee lovers in Thedas

something i don't think gets talked about NEARLY ENOUGH regarding Dragon Age: Veilguard: If you pick certain options and let enough banters play out, MULTIPLE companions will for all intents and purpose signal their plan to change factions post-game.

Taash can become an honorary Antivan Crow and seems to be legit into the idea by game's end (also Harding like the cape). Like, if they were a returning companion in DA5 I could EASILY see them having joined up (or at least become associated).

Bellara can flat out ask Neve to join the Shadow Dragons. (edit: OR apparently can ask to join the Mourn Watch?!?!)

Davrin can signal he's planning to spend a LOT of time with the Veil Jumpers and the griffons once this is all over (and a big part of his banter sequence with Bellara AND his tertiary content with Rook involve his realizing that the Veil Jumpers' aims are different than the Dalish he grew up with).

Like, that's FANTASTIC. No one is ever permanently any one thing, and I love the idea of some of the companions realizing "hey, actually, this works better" and they've built those connections and networks and so hey, Antivan Crow Taash? Sure, Teia will make them a cape. Shadow Dragon Bellara? Hey, they took the ex-templar Rana, they'll easily take her. Etc.

the shadow dragons are the funniest faction in veilguard tbh they’re an underground abolitionist revolutionary sect and also the best queer support group in northern thedas, one of their members is bascially tevinter batman, they’re single-handedly responsible for the choice of tevinter’s next archon, their secret hideout is hidden by a singular magic glyph, they don’t even use dragons in their insignia-

The Shadow Dragons

[housederiva]

Thinking about how the leader of the Shadow Dragons is called The Viper. Thinking about how Dorian’s clothing and all three of his tarot cards have a viper on them. Thinking about how in the gameplay trailer a friend told Varric that Shadow Dragons are people he wants to know. Thinking about how Dorian returned to his home to fight against the oppressive system he benefited from for so long and how the Shadow Dragons fight that same system

something something tarquin sees ashur's face for the first time

The factions of Northern Thedas

The Veil Jumpers: You know what's great? Not leaving all this old crap lying around waiting to explode. The Antivan Crows: This invasion is wonderful for us because now we can convince people we're somehow the scrappy underdogs. The Grey Wardens: We cannot catch a fucking break. The Shadow Dragons: We may be bankrolled by aristocrats, but we're still more credible scrappy underdogs than the Crows. The Mourn Watch: The secret to a stable government is state-subsidized goths. The Lords of Fortune: You know what's great? Not living through Act 2 of Dragon Age 2 again.
