Kinloch and Calenhad Docks flycam

this one turned out to be way more interesting than i thought it'd be! because what you can't see from the ground is the split.

first the tower itself. the base is actually a massive complex that's half buried. i'd love to know if those levels are usable or if they're too buried/decrepit, but it explains the storage tunnels. and it looks like there are breakwaters

the imperial highway that goes out into the lake used to be a bridge, we all know that. but there's also a split right before it hits the water. if you take the right ramp its the bridge into the tower. there's nothing there to tell us what the left ramp went to but i'm going to guess docks? because. lake. water access. you get it.

the interchange itself is lovely, even if theres no actual slope down to ground level. there are some tiered platforms but you cant get a cart down them. but we aren't meant to see up here so whatever XD

and the countryside on the other side of the highway. not too much of it but it was still built up by tevinter, torches and arches lining the path. i like the little watch towers.

also boats!! i had never seen them here before but real ships, not just the row boat! also a buoy with a wave bell!

bonus shots. the tower is wayyyyy bigger and further than i thought. plus the island has extra ruins

Denerim flycam

i am so in love with the city they designed but dont actually let us see.

so the city is essentially a bowl, built up both sides of the valley around river drakon. as in it's not just the fort and the palace that are higher than the rest of the city but it curves back up again across the river. all of ferelden's coast really is mountain, no wonder its so hard for orlais to invade.

here's the market district. its just the market itself and the distant ring of the city's edges at the highest points.

i understand Why they made the walls so tall, to save on rendering, but i wish we could see ANY of this its SO cool. I love how dense and alive this city looks. every other place we see is so sparse and empty

here is a close up on some of the prop filler buildings. while every human building we see up close in game is covered in crumbling debris that would make living in them almost impossible (why bioware. ancient ruins weren't ancient AT THE TIME) these look like functional medieval towers AND what i want to call tudor-ish town homes, mansions and apartments. love the mix side by side, shows a functioning but ancient city

here's fort drakon and its tiered approach. MUCH more realistic than the concept art's thousand meter mesa or whatever the hell they drew.

i'll be kind and put all the panoramas under a read more

as you play through the battle of denerim and move closer and closer to drakon sometimes they delete the mountain, so you can see the tower silhouette better. if you get flycam i suggest exploring from the alienage map because every denerim map has just the location and that distant outer ring of stuff. but because the alienage has an open side for the bridge its got a lot more filler in between.

the view out and around the alienage bridge

now i'll attempt to convey the full panorama, again from the alienage. this city is SO much bigger than the map they gave us im gnawing at the bars of my cage. look at it!

hopefully those are in order lol. i'm running out of pictures so i will save analysis of the river for a second post, and instead leave you with ferelden's ridiculously tiny palace and the palace district up to fort drakon

top: the palace (?) itself on its tiers (its so small??). bottom left: the view over the front side wall. bottom right: the view over the back gate up to drakon. there's so much city between the palace and fort, wow

Voyeurism Sister Leliana,

In accordance with your request, I continue my careful examination of the frescoes adorning the rotunda. Intending to clarify certain details regarding the technique and methods of elven craft, I sought out Messere Solas.

Upon my arrival, however, I found myself the unwilling witness to circumstances not intended for outside observation. Messere and the Lady Inquisitor were engaged in conversation with such concentration as to preclude the presence of a third party. I have observed similar occasions before and therefore did not intrude.

As I made ready to withdraw, I heard phrases whose meaning remains, to me, open to interpretation: "tongue" and "I did not such thing." I confess that, for a brief moment, I supposed the discussion might concern some particular of artistic technique...perhaps a method of applying pigment or terminology imperfectly articulated in conversation. My scholar thoughts occupied me entirely in that instant. Such a hypothesis, as soon became evident, was overly academic.

The door shut abruptly, and I realized that the Lady Inquisitor had already departed the rotunda. Messere remained. What then presented itself placed me in an awkward position as a servant of the Inquisition. I will say only that the manifestations I witnessed suggested a state of body and spirit scarcely suited to the public spaces of the fortress. I acknowledge the naturalness of such impulses, particularly in one long accustomed to solitude, as Messere himself has stated. Nevertheless, the circumstances and setting appeared to me improper. The reputation and authority of the Lady Inquisitor and of the Inquisition require caution, even in private expressions.

A moment later, the Lady Inquisitor returned and stood still, taking no notice of my presence. I anticipated indignation. Instead, I observed upon Her Worship's countenance an expression best left unanalyzed in an official report. Judging my continued presence inadvisable, I withdrew.

That night I dreamt of wolves. Their howling, familiar to any hunter in a certain season, was persistent and almost mournful. I am not inclined to grant significance to dreams... nevertheless, I deemed it necessary to record the detail.

You instructed that all unusual and suspicious matters be reported, Sister Leliana.

Veilguard fun fact:

I cleared up inaudible dialogue between Varric and Solas back in 2024 in this post, but only now noticed if you go in close enough with the cam, their models actually have full lipsync animation during dialogue that is never even meant to be seen :)

Caterina's face if Illario is forgiven.

I didn't want to post this because I thought it's just some weird stuff going on with her face since we are not supposed to see her here, but the jail option doesn't have any expression changes at all, so...it's funny. No words needed.
