??? Tried to Google if halo season 2 gets better and every website says that halo season 2 IS better than 1??? season one was amazing, meanwhile s2e1 completely skips all the interesting plot threads from s1--Cortana's just suddenly gone and John is back, madrigal is gone? why did we even spend all that time following kwan only for her planet to randomly go boom.......

Not sure what it says about the kind of media I consume that I saw this random thumbnail and was immediately just like "oh cool guess the dude's holding a talking head"

mod to make Rook look less ridiculous when jumping across large gaps

this fucker just out here absolutely flailing like ohh god I'm gonna die….. slams into the edge, barely hanging on, heaves themself up--

meanwhile companions watching this every. single. time. like Rook buddy u ok?? u good???

so I'm headcanoning that my ghoul warden a) had the architect speed up the taint and ghoulify her, and b) learned avernus's blood magic to slow the spread of the taint, not only in herself but to other people

bc in the last flight isseya uses blood magic to draw the taint from the Griffin eggs into herself, so I imagine it could be possible to do something similar and just. hold the taint within yourself

(of course it would probably have to come out eventually. I'm just imagining dwinna taking occasional rest stops underground to spit up darkspawn bile lmao. "brb" hoarks up some taint "ok im good")

oh my god ok I came up with a workaround for the obscene number of boxes you have to destroy in veilguard, especially since a lot of the time i'll be standing RIGHT next to one and just completely miss??

but I cheated myself a vivify rune, downloaded a mod that makes runes' cooldown instant, and then I've been using this massive whirlwind attack……… on boxes lmfao

it's still two steps where I'd prefer one but at least because runes only affect me it doesn't mess with combat balance. and WAY quicker than trying to manually destroy like 10 boxes

so many of the eyebrows in veilguard look like they were shaved with an electric razor and a ruler...... searching with a fine toothed comb to find natural looking brows for my unwashed resident of ye olde thedas

in every dragon age game so far there's been a main character possessed by a spirit, or who straight up just is a spirit. @ bioware it's time............. let us get possessed

also. can we get some leggings for the girls... kaguya's sleeves are longer than her skirt, and clarice & pilika are literally wearing warm weather clothing with thigh/leg gaps?? their poor cold leggies

tbh i am tired of white haired female characters.......... I get that the protagonists have a yin yang thing going on but Of Course it's the man who has the black hair. and fubuki is the god of winter so I support him, but matsuri????

summer god has dark skin and a red/orange palette and they give her white hair and blue eyes??? it's not just a dumb trope it actually looks atrocious

I refuse to play this game until there's a black hair kaguya mod and red/orange hair matsuri mod, and if I have to learn an entirely new modding system to make them myself then so be it

kinda weird to me how bioware was like, we're keeping the companion ages vague! also bellara is like 20

idk, she doesn't read as a 20 year old to me, she reads as a 30 year old with ADHD who's experiencing the most exciting changes in her field in millennia. just feels a little like they were like, excitable character? must be child

veilguard is funny because they took that beautiful silver and blue warden uniform and went ehhh we'll just use some of that sometimes
