“Ir abelas, vhenan… But I cannot.”

#yes u can #turn ur cute ass around and go kiss ur wife!

it wasn't the dumbest thing said during the promo cycle for vg but i do think about "[rook] doesn't have bunch of papers or magical hand for people to follow them they had to earn it" (or something along those lines). like ah yes rook with the powerful magic dagger, base in the literal fade, and actual elven god in their head. very pull yourself up by your bootstraps protag right there.

#yeahhh #i know they were trying so hard to replicate hawke’s success but it fell apart so badly #i feel like even though i enjoy rook as a character #they tried a little too hard to make them a more modern taste of hawke and a likable ‘young and hip’ protag and it just didnt work

david gaider saying he didnt think about the implications of broodmothers the calling and female grey wardens would be funny if it wasnt so in line for him

#haha im so glad they dropped the broodmothers #like body horror already squicks me out #but it’s just bad. bad writing. bad lore.#i will give them partial credit because the mother from awakening is a very interesting character if you look at her as just a darkspawn #the broodmother part isn’t even essential to her character #but thats it!

alright why the hell am i seeing a tiktok about the emmrich introduction scene with bellara that when emmrich looks down at his hand to check his rings it’s because “elves are known to be thieves and dirty”?????????

what the fuck.

#dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #bellara lutare #emmrich volkarin #im actually so shocked #who the fuck types that out and thinks: yeah this is a very well thought out analysis of this scene #please see urself out #and maybe off the internet for good

actually i think it would be cool to take a peek inside what’s goin’ on between kal sharok and orzammar. veilguard would’ve killed to have a dwarf-society based quest beyond the titan nonsense we had.

#dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #i think part of what was lacking for me was stuff like this #like i wanna see what society is up to 10 years later in thedas after inquisition #like one of the biggest undermined events is that kal sharok was still alive #and they were still pissed about the first blight #like can u imagine how fun it would’ve been to navigate dwarven politics again???

“My life force now sustains the Veil. With every breath I take, I will protect the innocent from my past failures.”

#oomfie!!#solas dragon age u will always be famous

i think what i miss the most about dragon age is how the people of thedas interact with one another.

like how in origins, the locations you visit have people (regardless of fantasy race) have different perceptions of who your character is. whether by race or gender, at least one or two npcs in the area may have a different reaction to you.

especially in the origin prologues themselves! god i wish veilguard really dug in on the faction your rook was apart of more. or just their race in general. the few dialogue prompts we get are pretty lackluster and neutral-toned (i.e. “yes i know what you’re talking about” or *says thing about being xyz fantasy race*).

#dragon age #dragon age the veilguard #dragon age origins #the hero of ferelden #dragon age rook #just feeling a tad bit melancholy #im not an absolute veilguard hater but its definitely not a great game by comparison #the thedas lore was always my favorite part #and how its inhabitants acted towards one another

Just saw someone’s rant about Solas’ sexuality and how he’s “canonically exclusively attracted to women!!!” In our lords 2025. Single thing that motivated me to boot up my queer solavellan run

#solas is the most bisexual ever #and you know what else #biggest he/they energy of all time #i will die on that hill

hmmm should i make a solas parallel mega post dating back to origins???

#dragon age #dragon age solas #i was sitting at my desk thinking about replaying the series #and i couldn’t help but connect the dots between some story elements of all the games #that somehow tie back to solas #like idk maybe im reaching but i do be seein the strings connecting

Is it worth playing the non-Surana/non-Amell origins in DAO even if you can't play as a mage?

Yes

justice's baby deer curiosity and open adoration for the strange new world around him can whoever is holding me hostage kill me right fucking now

sha-brytols

that dialogue where he tells you the mortal world is full of so many brand new sensations and noises and feelings and it never gets quiet compared to the eternal stagnation of the fade and you say "isn't that overwhelming?" and justice says "no, it's wonderful."

i think people overlook justice’s mini character arc so much and it carries over to anders’s arc in da2 respectively!

justice was afraid when he was pulled from the fade. all he wanted was to go back and continue his life as a spirit. but then he sees kristoff’s memories, his life, his wife. justice wants to understand the feelings he’s never felt.

he struggles with his identity and what he’ll do now that he’s in the material plane. sure he’ll fulfill kristoff’s last wish and help the warden commander, but what after? justice sees all the good and the bad and the ugly of the world and he wants to see more. to feel more. to do more. justice starts having wants and desires, all of the things he learned in the fade to be things DEMONS want. but he can’t be a demon. he’s still justice. or is he? is he more? or less of who he was?

and the answer to his question is never answered. he fuses with anders and they become one person. justice twists to vengeance and never has the chance to live for himself like cole or solas.

and what kind of justice is that to him?

#dragon age #dragon age awakening #dragon age justice #man i love justice #his very concept and execution are just #chef’s kiss #he’s the tragic end of a new idea that made way for future characters cole and solas to thrive #i love you justice my beloved

If you had the power to see one thing from early DATV development make it into the final game, what would it be?

Naval combat

Rescuing who was left in the Fade in DAI

Imshael as a sexy female companion

Solas's right hand, Reva

A Necropolis ball mission

Ship/submarine base

The return of Sten and/or Cole

Fighting monsters that Ghilan'nain experimented on

Something else

You need to have the 28 other mods and all their dependencies for this mod to work, plus all the mods that they depend on. You also need to go into your x69 files and delete the .gloop file (NOT the .gleeb file!!!) and you need to run CuntExpander to generate a working skeleton for the animations and when that's done you have to reconfigure PNIS (which you should honestly be using NippleSense by now) and then deploy mods, uninstall then reinstall everything, then run PNIS again IN A SEPARATE FILE and deploy. Then it should work 👍

#any npc overhaul mod in dragon age #i love these passion projects but girl why am i having to download 60 mods to make one npc hot

sometimes i sit back and think to myself:

would veilguard have been better if the inquisitor was the protagonist instead?

and you know what? yeah. it would’ve. i think it would slay so hard actually.
