Peasant: I suppose you wanna reward?

Geralt: Nah.

Peasant: And they say witchers are heartless.

Me: Hey, that’s racist, bowl cut!

I just launched my old save of W3, after being embroiled in DATV, I stuck with it this long because I tried to learn every aspect of it so I can write my own fix-it.

Landing in war-torn Velen brought tears to my eyes.

It looks awful, but in the best way.

There is a beautiful tree just crowded with hanging bodies and all I can think was, “Veilguard was too afraid to show this level of brutality and realism.”

Hell, even Toussaint, which is described as a “fairytale duchy” has some fucked up elements to it.

A lot.

Dragon Age fans looking at the World of Thedas after The Useful Idiots torched it:

[clairedelune-13]

Ok, but if Illario had been our Crow companion, I just know he would’ve been like Reaver in Fable.

I just know it.

“expectations” is the song you dance to after a break up when you’re drunk and high as fuck. 🤣

[clairedelune-13]

Honestly, 15 torturing that one character in The Interstellar Song Contest, completely goes against Twelve’s last words

[clairedelune-13]

For all the unanswered questions you have concerning some of the stuff that goes on in Veilguard, maybe we should be asking the Nadas Dirthalen, The Archive Spirit, I mean. /s

[clairedelune-13]

OK, I have to give Veilguard some credit in this aspect.

Just saw an NPC doing cartwheels in the market in Treviso, and here I 100% thought that every NPC was just a useless bot that stood around doing nothing.

Shoutout to whatever game developer decided to have some fun and make an NPC do something for once.

Can I take them back to the lighthouse so I can have some entertainment? Because my companions don’t do shit.

I just can’t stand the way Rook can’t enter a room without some sort of snarky comment.

Like, just shut your fucking mouth and enter in silence, idiot

For example, when you start Lucanis’ bloodbath quest, the first words out of their damn mouth is

Well, this is ominous.

Like shut the fuck up, you worthless sack of shit. Nobody gave you permission to talk.

[clairedelune-13]

Every time an ad interrupts whatever I’m watching, I silently pray that they go bankrupt.

[clairedelune-13]

I have a confession to make.

I really do not like the Disney Tardis.

It reminds me of an Apple Store.

Twelve’s will always be peak.

[clairedelune-13]

Can we talk about how weirdly optimistic and happy go lucky the end slides are despite the fact that the world is in a much worse state than it was before?

And its all Rook’s fault.

Think about that.

[clairedelune-13]

I just now realized that there is a certain coziness to inquisition that Veilguard just doesn’t have.

I have a very sentimental attachment to Skyhold that I don’t have for the Lighthouse.

I even liked the Tempest in MEA.

The Lighthouse is so soulless. Despite its previous owner… 🤣

No, but seriously, the Lighthouse is the most lifeless homebase ever.

[clairedelune-13]

Can’t help thinking of the fact that Illario and Lucanis are clear victims of pretty extensive child abuse, so bad to the point that one of them developed an inferiority complex, and the other one is so terrified of his guardian that he is afraid to stand up to her.

And the game doesn’t even bother to delve into this complicated topic.

[clairedelune-13]

The mishandling of Lucanis in VG feels like a personal blow.

I liked his character so much in TN, I fitted him into one of my inquisitor’s backstories.

Like, they met in passing because they were literally from the same country (Antiva) but ever since the game came out, it doesn’t make sense anymore, and I had to change my fucking hc.

So yeah, what they did to Lucanis feels like a personal affront to me and the headcanon I worked quite hard on and grew proud of.

If you were upset with GO3, just rewatch Staged 3.
