i do still think datv feels very … disconnected from the previous trilogy, and that parts of it don’t really Feel like dragon age to me. that being said, i’m still having a fun time

#txt #sophie plays datv #datv spoilers #i kind of went into the game expecting this though after reading reviews #i still think BioWare really failed with not having a world state import #datv definitely suffers from not having those little callbacks from previous games that made the others feel connected #i also agree with what a few people have said about the accents being all over the place for each region #i think all the new factions and regions and things aren’t helping either #because they’re new and don’t feel the same as previous games - and there’s no little threads of familiarity to help with that #and a lot of these places have been so hyped for 10+ years that they inevitably probably don’t feel as good as i expected them to #all that being said I am still having fun though #despite the hand-holdy storytelling and disconnectedness #I can just tell that datv won’t be my fave instalment in the series tho rip #oh another gripe i have is that rook really has no personal investment in the main storyline #like??? why should they care???#every previous protag has been intrinsically connected to what’s going on #rook just feels like a random picked off the street to save the world #it all feels a little impersonal to me but whatever

sorry to keep yapping about this, but i feel like a lot of the meat of the dragon age world building has either been retconned, watered down or just … ignored?

#txt #datv spoilers #sophie plays datv #like where is the slavery in tevinter? where is the abuse done by the crows?#where is abuse of the elves? where is the history of the dalish?#where’s the circle and the control of magic and the hypocrisy of the chantry?#it feels like they’ve taken all the potentially controversial parts of the world (the parts that made it good and interesting)#for the sake of appeasing people?? I guess??#like hhhhhhh #im sure there’s many many more examples of this #im especially disappointed with the portrayal of tevinter #anyway I don’t want to be a negative presence on the dash but it’s annoying me agshdjfk #let things be dark and messy and controversial! stop writing stories in fear of people not liking them!!
