So, I am reading Throne of Glass for the forst time (currently reading Heir of Fire) and I keep thinking - is it just me or are there A LOT of similarities between Chaol and Cullen Rutherford (Dragon Age)? I mean, both characters seem to be coded the same way. Stoic and kinda grumpy, kinda prejudiced but willing to "unlearn" it, high ranking military at young age. AND it seems both have hot steamy nights on their desks (as implied in HoF). Also: they are unwilling to dance at first and then ask their LI to dance in the garden/on the balcony? Thoughts?

"Yes, dear?"

you ever think about how when anders asks what malcolm was like literally all of hawke's answers implied some level of emotional distance between them.

i'm being serious like if you think about it long enough even sarcastic hawke's answer is weirdly acidic..

so anyways everyone always says "malcolm's personality is shaped by how you play hawke" but that just isn't true is it. like if that really is the case then shouldn't every dialogue about malcolm be using the same personality that hawke first locked in for act 1. because the implication there would be that he just rubbed off on hawke. but it changes as hawke changes.

does it ever occur to you that malcolm's personality isn't actually as flexible as we initially thought and this entire time hawke has only been seeing what they believe to be their worst traits reflected in their father.

just dropping this here for no particular reason.

But you had no leash. Not like we did.

When everyone seems to have a damaged, unhappy "inner child," it is time to examine and change the treatment of children on a massive scale.

DATV has barely been out a week and people are already arguing over if it's better/worse than BG3 but I'm just out here saying 'yay two cakes' because now I have TWO graveyard dates to go on, TWO gentleman professors of magic to romance, TWO elven hunks who love animals to tenderly gaze into the eyes of. I can pet the owlbear cub AND I can pet Assan. I'm sandwiched between Taash and Karlach's abs as I speak.

Soooo, I need to talk about Emmrich and the way he is portrayed by some fans:

I mean, yes he is "old", but he is 55 so that is not THAT old. If you romance him and you are almost in your 40s, fhat's not THAT big of a age gap.

And some of the fanart, although beautiful artwork, draws him as some geriatric grandpa in his late 70s or 80s.

I mean, all of the men I know who are in their 50s are the most fit persons i know and although a little crinkley still lively, active and so on

You know what I mean?

Seeing the Dragon Age: Veilguard fandom infighting reminds me of when Dragon Age 2 came out, and was terrible, irredeemable... and then when Dragon Age: Inquisition came out, and was the worst thing ever, an insult to games like Origins and DA2 (which became good somewhere along the way)... basically, Dragon Age fans have hated every game since Origins.

Valid complaints aside, these folks are expert haters. Inspiring, almost. TBH, the reaction to the Veilguard character trailer got me hyped on pure contrarianism. I am basking in spiteful optimism.

This game looks lit, and I won't be convinced otherwise. I will play a dwarf with a fat ass, I will bang that mage slayer, and that veil, by the gods, will be guarded as fuck!
