1, 2, 4, 7, 12, and 20 for the DAV asks??? (Hopefully not too many ;w;)

There's no such thing as too many!! :D

I already answered 1 and 4 in another ask, but I'll copy-paste them below a cut for you ^^

2. Which Dragon Age game is your favorite so far?

Gotta be da2, it's the game that compels me most in terms of story and characters. I love that it's a tragedy, that the ending never changes no matter what you do because you are a little guy against an overwhelming forces BUT what you do still matters - Hawke is my favourite Dragon Age protagonist and I will love them forever because they might not have power in the overarching story, but in the little things? In the everyday lives of people? Hawke matters so much, they help people and make things a little better for them, and they did their best. It's not a perfect game, but it's a game that makes me feel a lot of things, and I love that <3

7. Which character from the previous games or other media are you most hoping will make an appearance in DAV?

Isabela, Dorian, Maevaris, Fenris, Vaea, Francesca, Valta, Calpernia, Valya, ISSEYA (not in-person obvs, but I'm begging for just one mention of my aroace Warden Queen, she deserves acknowledgement), Sandal <3

(there's definitely someone I'm forgetting but these are the ones I know for sure I want to see in some fashion)

12. What's one thing you're hoping we DON'T see in this next game?

Anders.

jks I know bioware won't bring him back now but I genuinely struggle to think of what I don't want because shard searching, multiplayer and micro-transactions are confirmed to be gone for Veilguard :D

20. Post a picture or gif that conveys your current level of excitement for Dragon Age: The Veilguard!

an accurate representation of the goblin in my brain <3

1. What was the first Dragon Age game you played?

Origins!! It was back in 2014 - I'd seen some Inquisition clips and looked into the series, and decided to start right at the beginning ^^

4. What does your worldstate look like going into DAV?

This... got lengthy, but here is my canon world state for Dragon Age:

Origins: Warden was a female Human Mage who romanced Leliana; Redcliffe was saved, sided with Mages, Connor was freed from possession, Anvil was destroyed, Bhelen was crowned King, Zathrian sacrificed himself to end the curse, the Urn Sacred Ashes was preserved, all companions recruited, Alistair became a drunk, Anora was crowned as Queen alone, Warden performed the Dark Ritual (modded lol), Avernus was spared and allowed to continue experiments, Shale rediscovered their past, and Morrigan was allowed to leave through the Eluvian

2: Hawke was a female Mage who romanced Isabela; Bethany died escaping Lothering, accepted Merchant Cavril's bribe and worked for the mercenaries, protected the mages without killing Karras, sent Feynriel to the Dalish then to Tevinter, Carver became a Grey Warden, killed Bartrand, Aveline married Donnic, didn't side with Petrice, killed the Arishok, made Tallis angry, sided with Janeka and killed Larius, Varric didn't keep the idol, killed Castillon, helped Merrill leave her people peacefully and preserved the Eluvian, let Zevran go, let Keran go, turned conspirators over to Orsino, reunited Gamlen and Charade, helped Anders, killed Anders, sided with Orsino

(I also have a rogue Hawke who is the twin brother to Marian; he romanced Fenris, helped Tallis, and sided with Larius)

Inquisition: Inquisitor was a Female Elven Mage and Merciful Judge who romanced Solas; denied being Andraste's Herald, helped refugees in the Hinterlands, recruited and dissolved the Templar Order, declared for the Inquisitor, left Hawke in the Fade, recruited the Grey Wardens, Celene rules and was reunited with Briala, Dorian reconciled with father and planned to return to Tevinter, Blackwall redeemed as Rainier, Bull saved the Chargers and became Tal-Vashoth, Cassandra discovered the book and rebuilt the Seekers, Sera killed Harmond, Cole became more human, Solas freed his friend, helped Varric track the red lyrium source, Vivienne was given the heart of the snowy wyvern, Cullen did not take lyrium, Josephine and the Inquisitor did favours for the du Paraquettes, Leliana was inspired, Calpernia's past was investigated, respected the Temple Guardians, spoke to Calpernia, Inquisitor drank from the Well, Leliana became Divine Victoria; shared the truth about Ameridan, earned a legend mark from the Avvar, discovered the source of the tremors, Bull stayed loyal, redeem Solas, disbanded the Inquisition. Additionally, Inquisition forces were deployed regularly, all keeps were captured, lake rift was closed, and Sutherland's company was successful.

78 and 79?

What are you hoping for from DA4?

For Zevran to be back!! And also All my faves to be back. For bioware to stop being a dick about oppressed groups (but that seems unlikely to happen). I’d like to find out more about titans and dwarves doing magic. I hope it’s set in Tevinter and Seheron, even though the Anderfels seems more likely than Seheron. I’d like an Avvar companion, and female Vashoth/Qunari companion who is romanceable and a female dwarf companion who is romanceable (and also is Valta) and I want the Qunari and dwarf to date if you don’t date either of them and I’d also like to be polyamorous. I really hope it’s not another open world game but lmao bioware sucks and that seems really unlikely. I hope that they keep the emotion wheel and use it more often bc it was fun and imo worked a lot better than Hawke’s Three Personalities. Also I hope the protagonist is unvoiced again but that also seems incredibly unlikely. Ohhh and I hope it turns out that the Maker isn’t real.

Mostly I’m hoping that we get to play both the Inquisitor and a shiny new DA4 Hero at different points, because I want to be someone new, but I don’t see how the Solas plot would work without the Inquisitor there and I don’t want bioware writing my Inquisitor.

What are you worried about for DA4?

That the Inquisitor will either return as the sole protagonist of the game, or bioware will write our Inquisitors and make even more of a mess than with Hawke in Inquisition.  I really don’t want them writing Any of my protagonists.

I’m obviously very worried that there’s going to be a lot of “well actually slavery is Morally Ambiguous” and also that a slave companion will fill the role of Untrustworthy Apostate (who in two out of three cases didn’t actually do anything wrong).  And that there’ll be a lot of “well templars do Have A Point because look at these terrible magisters”. And “hey look these elves are helping Solas, probably because he manipulated them, but elves need to show they Deserve to have rights”. After Mass Effect Andromeda, I’m really worried that they’ll taking several steps back with queer representation, and because it’s Dragon Age I’m worried we’ll have more Abusive Lesbians.

Also I’m worried that Cullen will appear again like please haven’t I suffered enough yet.
