I like Veilguard.
I don't like Veilguard as part of the Dragon Age canon.
I reconciled the dissonance in my head by calling it an AU; like someone at Bioware's fanfic that wasn't ever meant to actually be part of the main story.
My spouse proposed that it's one of Varric's books, complete with heroic self-sacrifice, but still managing to narrate the whole thing.
Ever since, I haven't been able to unsee that. It explains why the backstory for your heroes is barely touched on (and generic), why the Divine is unchoosable (despite the Chantry being a major influence in Antiva), why the art style is so very fucking different, why the storyline just doesn't make sense after Trespasser, and so many other things.
