i was talking to my wife about maybe possibly spinning a 'rook has two hands' kind of scenario with the Basement Twink and she was like 'oh you're so predictable' and i was like 'what do you mean' and she was like 'romancing a crow and a warden with a necromancer???' and i was like 'oh', so that's where i'm at with rewriting the game in my head,

#the game have me one (1) crumb of conflict between them and gave me romance scenes one after the other #immediately followed up by the 'worst job ever' conversation #and my brainworms are STARVED #besides. Rionn grew up in the basement #he's finally free #he can have a bit of a ho phase #the way the two ot3 dynamics are diametrically opposed are really funny though #the original warden x crow x necromancer trio cannot be more different #i'm not done with the game yet and i don't know if i'll ever play it again so i shall be minmaxing it while i'm in there thank you #dav #dav spoilers #Rionn Ingellvar #Davrin #Lucanis

i find it really frustrating when people dismiss the criticism of veilguard (from other fans, not grifters) by pointing out how people have always complained about each dragon age release for the same reasons while enjoying them in retrospect because. maybe its not just that people like to complain. maybe its because this game is a symptom of a greater issue across all media genres of late stage capitalism suffocating creativity and gradually reducing all types of media to shallow, shiny, easily-digestible shadows of their former iterations in favor of maximizing profit. and maybe you can see that decline especially clearly in a series like dragon age where you can track its creative manifestation over the last 15 years. and maybe you can see this across the entire gaming industry and film industry and book publishing and television and literally everywhere.

and maybe people have drawn comparisons between veilguard and disney, a comparison that would’ve been unthinkable 10 years ago, not because they are actually similar in content but in their similar loss of the passion, sincerity and humanity behind their creation in favor of meaningless cash grabs that people can FEEL when they experience them. and maybe we also have clear proof of this in the way that the fourth dragon age installment was scrapped, forced into being multiplayer, and ONLY allowed to revert back to single player following the massive monetary success of Jedi: Fallen Order that demonstrated the financial value of single player games to the millionaire executives at EA. but whatever i guess people just love to complain

#mhm #i've been wailing groaning in various dms #but the general tune is #my god i can tell that the individual developer who snuck in that one detail about origins that's never gonna be relevant again cared #but also my god does the oversanitised and mass-digestable therapy-speak-ridden and uninteresting midness smell like the disinfectant #it's been sprayed down with #in order to make it as Agreeable and Sellable and White-Picket-Fence ''''Woke'''' as possible #after a development cycle that sounds like hell hell hell hell HELL for anyone trying to make anything #how it reflects on the world of enshittification in which we live is another layer on the sawdust cake #'they don't make games like they used to' and they really don't #signed: developer with hella burnout and Big Depression about their future in the industry #i feel so bad #because your average engineer and level designer and artist pushing jira tickets from 'in progress' to 'in review' probably tried to care #in an industry that is exhausted and driven by a cabal of madmen with a dogged Line Go Up vision that makes me want to scream and wail #i swear if the game was just bad i could care less #but it's. it's fine. it's all right #and that's somehow so much worse #looking around it fits the media landscape with its easily digestible pre-chewed narratives that require zero thought from its audience #to a point it feels disrespectful to said audience #alas.

no first character out of CC will ever survive the gauntlet of Actual Gameplay as we all know (especially if the game is determined to give you One Character Archetype to work with. deep sigh.) so—attempt two: twink necromancer (twinkromancer. necrotwinker...?)

#breaking the all girls worldstate for one (1) they/them magic boy #listen i'm trying to give myself the best chance to actually enjoy this damn video game #and if i'm not allowed to have a sadmelancholy quiet character (sigh)#(not even internal fanfictioning will help the way Rook is written)#i will conjure up a kid who grew up in a basement SO hard #i'm actually quite invested in them..... which can't be said for wardenmage. sad #but behold. twinkery #Rionn Ingellvar #imagine if you will a miles vorkosigan (if that reference means anything to you i owe you a forehead kiss)#but gayer #this game i swear..........#but we stay silly #for the standout moments (all 3 of them)#dav spoilers #dav #my ocs #rook

mkay here goes nothing

#another elf mage warden?? you ask #and i say #yes. whatchu gonna do about it #Edral Thorne #davg #my ocs #i Will Not be talking about all the annoying things in the game #i have Thoughts #i will give it a chance for the promised excellent finale #(and the gorgeous beautiful UI. 2D art team really knocked this one out of the park)#(and the environment artists)#(level design... mmmmmm)#(but like i said. zip mouth emoji)
