In August we will get back to the last Dragon Age hero, that as not their fully own event (shoutout once more to @rookappreciationweek!) And this last hero is of course our Inquisitor from Dragon Age Inquisition.
Just like with the Warden, Warden Commander, and Hawke, we will celebrate the Inquisitors of Thedas. Like always, this is an event for fanwork featuring your Inquisitor. That means this is a call for fanart, fanfiction, aethetics, stimboards, gifs... Whatever you want!
We have Rules of course, but I feel most of you already know the rules for this: no stealing, no AI, works posted will have to be new. And so on.
Lords of Fortune Week Day 1: Reflection/ Horizon @lof-weekend
You helped me figure out who I was, you helpedā¦ find me.
š« Please ask before reposting!
i've found my little zone in fandom that i'm comfortable in, but it occurs to me that others are still struggling to find the people who actually enjoy this game! and who talk about it!
so please do reply or reblog if you're veilguard positive and talk about it uwu
The āthey removed worldstate importanceā argument of why ppl claim that veilguard is awful is always gonna be fucking stupid to me bc bioware aināt never given a shit about worldstate choices LMFAOOOOOOOO. I will forever be bitter about the awakening Anders epilogue slide retcon where da2 says āfuck you and the outcomes to your choices in awakeningā. And just in general the very minimal awakening acknowledgment in the series as a whole (with funnily enough the exception of VG, that gave a sad but lovely nod to kristoff and aura). I have not taken worldstate shit super seriously since that point bc of that and only tap into it for fun.
I also would like to point out that the game Iāve had the least amount of āhm I wanna change/rewrite this to fit my character/worldstate betterā has, funnily enough, BEEN VEILGUARD!!!
A majority of the world state acknowledgment a lot of people seem to want just sounds like people wanting to be pat on the back for making the āgood decisionsā. Which makes me wanna ask them āhey how exactly would xyz be able to fit this worldstate that has choices you donāt agree with?ā bc clearly player choices being respected are sooooo important to everyone.
Hypothetical choices to exist in a single worldstate for everyone to have a little āfunā thinking about in regards to how much narrative importance worldstates āshouldāveā had in veilguard:
For origins:
Alistair killed in landsmeet
Zevran killed
Leliana killed during urn of sacred ashes quest
Sten never recruited
Refused dark ritual with Morrigan
Shale never recruited
Loghain recruited AND survives the 5th blight AND here lies the abyss.
Dagna never brought to the circle of magi
Harrowmont rules orzhammer
HOF ultimate sacrifice
The Architect killed
(Wynne dies in asunder, no one gaf about oghren at all, every other awakening choice is ignored)
Dragon age 2:
Rivalry with varric
Gave Isabela to the arishok
Gave fenris to danarius
Killed Anders
Both hawke siblings dead
Aveline never remarried (probably not the craziest choice in comparison but Iāll put it down anyways)
Merrill destroys the eluvian
Sided with the Templars
Dragon age inquisition:
Recruited Templars
Cassandra as divine
Never recruit Vivienne or sera
Blackwall executed
Iron bull sacrificed chargers (and therefore dies in trespasser)
Cole and Dorian kicked out of/never fully joined the inquisition
Cullen addicted to lyrium again
Josephineās quest never completed
Celene as sole ruler of orlais, Briala exiled and gaspard executed (or exiled, Iām not certain if he can still be executed in a sole Celene route, either way heās out of the picture)
Hawke dies (as implied above)
Exiled wardens
Morrigan drinks from the well
All of these shitty/tragic neutral things (and more) can happen in a single worldstate. I want everyone to ask themselves right now a few questions.
Should this worldstate have the same narrative importance/impact on the main narrative as every other worldstate? If so, how much would these choices together affect the main narrative in comparison to other worldstates? Is it ACTUALLY feasible to create a 4th mainline game that caters to all possible worldstates narratively (by which I mean more than a short cameo at most or one codex at least), especially with that hellish development cycle?
Just something to think about is all Iām saying.
