Lucanis would abuse the eluvian network to get the freshest ripest fruits and vegetables from wherever they grow best every single week and he's so right for that

Octavian: How flattering!

Lucanis: No. No. No. No. No. That's not what I said-

i knew it was going to be rough, but choosing to save minrathous over treviso as rook de riva is actually brutal

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Harding and Emmrich go camping in the Hinterlands during the events of the game and I need everyone to be aware that Harding and Emmrich go camping in the Hinterlands during the events of the game (there’s a conversation but I don’t have screenshots)

You know the Hinterlands? It’s in the place that’s being absolutely destroyed off camera?

saw someone saying something like "do you really think veilguard story would be better if you could do evil choices?" and actually yeah. i think if they let us act more like the dreadwolf on the "you are a paralellism to the dreadwolf" game, it would be more significant when the story tells you "you are a bit like him/you are nothing like him" because , thats how you chosed to play it.

one of the things i love about the neve romance is that rook never pushes. they don’t coerce, they don’t make arguments as to why they should be together, they don’t do anything weird.

the only thing rook does is just. be there. not just physically, but emotionally. rook is rock solid both for neve herself and for the people she cares about. sure, rook flirts, but it’s never pushy. it’s never a corny pick-up line when neve clearly isn’t doing okay. it’s playful when neve is receptive to it and emotionally supportive when she needs it. it clearly shows that it’s not just physical.

and in the lock-in scene, the only thing that rook really does is care. neve tries to push them away, fails miserably, and is met with nothing but care from rook���rook who is always there in some way. who always tries to be there in some way. and that’s all it takes, really.

I'm sorry if other people saw and talked about this already, but I just noticed something

Solas has the knife in his right hand here when the statues are falling

He also has it when he's casting the spell to stop the statue

Varric is right beside Solas and the statue is falling on both of them.

There's an explosion that's either a different pov of the same spell Solas cast or a separate explosion (of the veil opening?) (I can't tell)

This explosion causes several huge rocks to fall in all directions. None of the rocks or debris glow.

Then we see Solas looking down toward where Varric was standing and where Rook now is, when the statue was falling toward him in the other direction.

Varric was behind Solas, and is now nowhere to be seen.

And after the explosion, Solas does not have the dagger in his hand.

There is nothing glowing on the ground here when Varric is backing up as the statues are falling, but there is a glowing object that is giving off green sparks, resting on a dark object at the bottom of the stairs JUST after the explosion.

The only thing in the scene that glows green in that color and gives off green sparks is the dagger.

I think Solas must have lost the dagger.

And it might have landed down near Rook.

And I can't tell what the dark object is under the glowing one, but either the glow makes it look like it's moving, or it's moving. Is it Varric? Did Varric fall all the way down the stairs? Did Solas lose both the dagger and his friend got hurt?

And that's why he's looking so sad down in the "wrong" direction? He was worried about Varric, or the dagger flew down that way? Both?

The whole sequence is very strange in 0.25 speed, almost like parts of it were cut out for this trailer. If Varric is not that dark shape at the bottom of the stairs, where exactly did Varric go? Where did the dagger go?

The only detail I know for sure is that Solas doesn't have the dagger anymore when he's facing the evanuris.

The problem with having played all Dragon Age games and having read the graphic novels is that I'm torn between every faction. Especially between the Grey Wardens, Antivan Crows, and Shadow Dragons.

Wardens have spent the 20+ years since Origins becoming more secretive and cut off, pursuing their own studies and goals separate from greater political machinations. They've made deals with ancient darkspawn, they know where the Old Gods prisons are, and rediscovered Griffons— their hope and symbol, thought to be extinct. Your Warden companion is a Dalish Elf (rare for Dalish to become Wardens so I wonder what that story is) with a baby Griffon, a lot of room there to be rather conspiratorial co-parents.

I've loved the Crows since Zevran. While most nations have an army as their primary strong-arm, Antiva has an extremely powerful network of assassins. The Crows were dealt a deadly blow recently and the Qunari are close to taking over Antiva. If they succeed then they'll have a very strong hold on the continent. A pretty crucial time to be a Crow, especially as your Crow companion is the grandson of its leader. An excelling career assassin set up to be its next leader but who may not have the heart of a killer at all.

The Shadow Dragons is an organisation in Tevinter whose main goal is freeing slaves and stamping out oppression. The oldest human settlement in Thedas, Tevinter is the ultimate dark horse of Dragon Age lore. Your Dragon companion is a PI who swaggered out of a noir novel and onto the streets of Minrathus. Everything about this is cool. What's more, Dorian accepted his seat on the Magisterium to dismantle Tevinter's oppressive systems and destroy the Venatori, something he doesn't appear to have achieved. Is he now the Grand Viper (his symbol was a snake)? Has he fled? Is he dead? So many questions.
