it’s actually so funny that the beginning of Veilguard seems to be us ruining a dude’s plans, taking over his house, and immediately naming ourselves Team Whose Goal Is Guarding The Very Thing He Was Trying To Destroy

Having Solas in your head all through Veilguard is actually a very funny follow-up to an Inquisitor who drank from the Well of Sorrows, especially if that Inquisitor romanced Solas…

Like imagine them meeting like

Lavellan: yeah I have the voices of ancient elves in my head at all times, how about you?

Rook: oh yeah I have your ex in my head

Lavellan: …..what?

I’m so fucking obsessed with them

Hi my name is Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven de Riva and I have long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Morrigan (AN: if u don't know who she is get da hell out of here!). I'm not related to Viago de Riva but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie.

Honestly I’d assumed Manfred was just gonna be a silent character given he’s a skeleton. Kinda like Bianca in a way, has a name but is really just an extension of the actual companion. So knowing that he’s voiced by Matt Mercer… this totally changes my expectations and I’m very excited to see what Emmrich and Manfred’s whole deal is 👀

Okay again on the topic of things in Veilguard that I think had the potential to be so good but they just weren’t delved into at all: my Rook’s relationship with Neve kind of accidentally sucked. I got max approval of course, as I did with every companion, but this could’ve been such a good place for deep companion conflict.

First Neve got hurt during the opening quest, something that wasn’t entirely Rook’s fault but I/she felt bad about anyway. Then I chose to save Treviso over Minrathous, thinking Minrathous was better prepared to defend itself. Neve, obviously, did not like this and was very cold to Rook for a while. (I also accidentally missed one of Neve’s quests before Minrathous got all fucked up, a short one where I think I would’ve just met her Shadow Dragon friends? I RPed that as another point against Rook for Neve, a sign that she just must not care.) Finally, I had Rook send Neve to deal with whatever it was that caused her to get kidnapped and blighted (genuinely can’t remember what it was. what an impression this game made), trying to show she trusts Neve and instead getting her hurt once again.

All this culminated into me RPing Rook as someone who genuinely likes Neve, wants to work with her and be her friend, but her choices just kept inadvertently fucking Neve over. Add in the fact that Neve clearly seems closer to the other companions than she is to Rook. Rook isn’t invited to the book club. Rook barely gets to meet Neve’s Tevinter friends. Rook couldn’t romance Neve even if she wanted to, but Lucanis could. Rook tries to protect everyone (she’s a Grey Warden, dammit!) but sometimes she fails, and throughout the game she kept failing Neve in particular over and over again.

This could have been such a juicy dynamic! But it’s all just my own headcanon. It’s not explored in game. Neve was basically a coworker with maxed out approval who Rook was actually barely close to at all. I don’t particularly imagine they stay in touch after the game ends.
