i’ve only been into dragon age for like. checks calendar. two and a half months. and the amount that my opinion on veilguard has changed after playing the other games is crazy

#the dialogue is sooooo baaaad it’s SO bad. i think of the bellara recruitment mission first mostly bc it’s so early but #‘we’re looking for an ancient elven artifact!’ cool what is it. ‘this building… no… it can’t be here!’ why. ‘if that’s here… that means…’#GIRL WHAT DOES IT MEAN. ‘the artifact… it can’t be here!’ YOU JUST SAID IT HAS TO BE. ‘it must be that artifact!’ WHAT IS THE ARTIFACT.#‘it’s an archive spirit!’ WHAT DOES IT DO. ‘you’ll see!’ girl if it’s so important that means you know what it does. why won’t you tell me #it feels like i’m watching an episode of naruto where they spend half the episode explaining things you already know like you’re 8 years old #but also at the same time they explain literally fucking nothing #and that is media made for children. this is allegedly a game for adults. with sex in it. apparently #obviously i’m paraphrasing that scene but. there’s a complete lack of specificity in a way that doesn’t feel intriguing it just feels like #they didn’t care. ‘elven artifact’ ‘red lyrium relic’ ‘blood magic ritual’ ‘antaam and venatori bad’ can you explain any of it to me please #almost no codex entries from scholarly sources actually examining any of these things. i’m so curious about the veil jumpers’ work #but no dice there. just ‘ancient elven ruins.’ i found the logs of venatori notes in the western approach and hissing wastes in inquisition #fascinating. reading about their practices and motivations was really interesting. in veilguard? where you are in minrathous? nothing #<- also that about the veil jumpers is based on memory but i don’t remember much from the codex being particularly interesting. i’ll look at #it again though i might be wrong. but anyway #like 80% of the game is a macguffin #and if i get into the shadow dragons and how literally nothing about them makes any sense #i need to play further into v’s run. i don’t really want to. but it’s for research #i should put ash and fel on the backburner for now since v is my research run. but they’re both past the dragons. and v isn’t #ragghfgfhghhgffggghHgGGHFGDHHGH #eliasposts #veilguard critical #but really only in the tags lol
