I really want someone to write up a crow Rook going to viago and telling him they're marrying into house dellamorte and thus leaving house De Riva. I think Viago would be complaining no stop but also be super supportive at the same time and if he's not Teia will set him straight.

Lucanis and my Rook romance scene. Don't watch if you don't want spoilers.

I want everyone who is upset about the world state choices to stop and think for a moment. Go back to DA2 and think not many of your wardens choices had much effect on DA2. You might see some excompanions here and there but not much else really impacted the story.

Then in inquisition hawke shows up and you get varric aa a companion, but the only choice that really matters from DA2 is if hawke sided with mages or templars and if anders lived or died. Even then it doesn't change the fact hawke fled kirkwall at the end and has no real effect on the story of inquisition.

I get being upset about no well of sorrows choice and no Kieran. But think, if thedas is basically a war zone, do you really think morrigan would bring her son all over the place. She'd leave him in a place she kniws he'll be safe. Plus she's not just going to talk about him to people she barely knows. He is her greatest weakness and she's not going to just talk about him to talk about him.

Now the well of sorrows. This one I agree I don't understand not being added as a choice. However let's play the game and see if an explanation is given before getting unnecessarily angry.

So far out of all the trailers and spoiler videos I have seen, there is really only one major complaint I have. Mouth animations. In some scenes they are spot on and then in others the mouths are moving but there is no enunciation with the lips to the words being said. I'm hoping it will be fixed, the game still has a little over a month before release. Plenty of time to fine-tube some stuff.

Does anyone else get a feeling we might be getting some mass effect 2 end game consequences with veilguard.

Like (spoilers for those who have not played mass effect 2) in the final mission in ME2 if you don't do all the loyalty missions or if you choose the wrong characters for specific tasks then any and possibly all companion characters can die.

Does anyone else think this is a possibility foe veilguard or is it just me.

I don't think Orym is a jealous man. I don't think Braius flirting with Dorian is really doing anything. Besides making him insecure.

Orym will definitely convince himself that Dorian would prefer Braius. He's more on Dorian's level both physically and class wise. Hes only 3 inches taller than Dorian and they can bond over art. To Orym it'd the obvious choice, to choose Braius. It'd make sense that the tall beautiful bards would fall for each other. He doesn't see Braius' flirting as a threat because he doesn't even know he's in the running.

And because he's not a jealous man, if he truly saw Dorian show genuine interest in Braius, Orym would accept it. He'd understand. He'd swallow his feelings and keep them to himself. Because he doesn't think he should have these feelings in the first place. BECAUSE he doesn't want to get in the way or impose or ruin what they already have.

DORIAN HOWEVER is super jealous. As a younger sibling to a golden child I know how possessive someone can get over attention. That's why it was all shy smiles and biting pencils when Braius was flirting with him. But the moment Braius flirted with Orym he was immediately at attention. Because that's his little warrior. If anyone is going to flirt with Orym it will be him.

I think if Brauis (Sam) changed up his technique and started flirting with Orym more, we'd have Dorym love confession in like two weeks. I don't think Dorian can handle competition. Not about this. Not with Orym's heart on the line.

Just thinking about how Xavier's love for MC is not, "You're mine," but "I'm yours."

His jealousy is not a possessive kind but stems from insecurity. For instance, in his Lumiere Myth, when he asks, "Who do you like more? Me or Lumiere?" it's his way of seeking affirmation that she'd choose his real self over the glorified version of him.

Sure he can get possessive like any other human being but he tends to be more protective than possessive when he's jealous.

This picture right here shows clearly how he's giving himself to her, resting his chin on her leg. He trusts her fully to do what she wants, as he always has.

So I just discover Love and Deepspace and I'm already obsessed. Is there any advice old time players have for new players like myself.

My fellow audiophiles,

I've seen some stuff floating around about not being weird to the point of making Lucanis' VA, Zach Mendez, uncomfortable. It seems Astarion's VA doesn't even want to interact with the fan base because of how wild people got over their voice (I don't know details and I probably don't want to).

I fully agree and I'm sorry for my "How fast can Lucanis be mounted" comment on the video clip I shared.

We shouldn't seek to traumatize them. I intend to melt over the character, sure, but I'll try to think before I speak.

Please try to be mindful. Nobody likes to be sexually harassed. I know I absolutely don't.

#im going to melt

so… THIS is what lucanis’ voice actor sounds like

I know it's been said before by many different people, but, and I truly cannot stress this enough: DO NOT harass the Dragon Age cast, DO NOT push parasocial behaviors or expectations on them, DO NOT objectify them and treat them as if they are there solely for your personal entertainment.

I have seen people - especially in the bg3 fandom - harass people over their "treatment" of a character, only to then violate the boundaries of the actor that portrays them. There are so many instances of the character being treated better than the person behind them.

Keep in mind that these are REAL PEOPLE who have their own lives, thoughts experiences and values, and their feelings matter a lot more than someone's need to feel sexually gratified at their expense. So let's not conflate sexualizing a person against their wishes with "appreciating their work".

Remember: the fictional characters they portray are not real, they have no thoughts, agency or feelings, so you can say whatever you like about them, because they don't exist and don't have boundaries to cross. But the actors who play those characters are real and you cannot treat them as you would the character themselves.

Andrew Wincott, the actor for Raphael in bg3, had to deal with fans acting as if they were entitled to his time, his promotions and overall his general attention. And Neil Newbon, who has been nothing but lovely and very kind to his fans, repeatedly told people how uncomfortable they had started to make him before taking action after it went too far for too long.

So, in closing:

DON'T BE PARASOCIAL WITH THE DA:TV CAST, DON'T SEXUALIZE THEM, AND RESPECT THEIR BOUNDARIES BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL PEOPLE AND THEY DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING!!

Sitting here thinking what if they give us our HOF in veilguard. Getting to customize them would be great. However my brain keeps hyperfixating on the voices. How great would it be to finally hear the HOF's voice in more than simple idle dialogues. What kind of voice options would they give us?

Here's a question. If you could Pic anyone in the world to be the voice of your HOF who would you choose.

I'd have to go with a nice British J.micheal Tatum for my male dalish elf that romanced morrigan. A soft spoken Laura Bailey for my female noble human that married alistair and a strong steaphanie young for my female city elf that loves Zevran.

What if when Rook talks to the inquisitor there's an option to flirt. You could make Solas listen while you flirt with the woman he loves.
