Is there a game with shield combat this fun?
>>501684628His romance barely has content, and yeah the Neve stuff.
>Solas made the weapon that kills Titans>Mythal is the one who got Solas to come into the physical worldThe more the game reveals, the more I question why you should give a shit about Elgar'nan at all.
>>501684839After beating the game I still don't know what Elgar'nan's end goal was.
My Rook loves curb stomping trains people like >>501684787 who will never be women
Solavellan supremacy Solavellan superiority >>501685024Using the blight as a force of creation to rebuild an empire for him to rule over. That's what I got out of it anyway
>>501685024Far as I can tell it's a twisted version of Solas' in that they basically both want to restore the vaguely alluded to "old glories" of their civilisation that they repeatedly insist are better than anything in the present day without giving specific examples. Other than maybe the Lighthouse, I suppose?It's just that Solas wants everyone to enjoy the Final Fantasyesque wonderland he thinks will result once people stop getting raped by demons (he never addresses this by the way) and Elgar'nan wants to lord over everyone.
>>501685107I don't know what a train person is (someone who likes trains I guess?) but your sleepy queer definitey gets BTFO by that babe.
Transphobic gay men never cease to amuse me. No, they won't pick you. You'll be swinging from a tree branch with us trannies. You think conservatards give a shit?
>>501685215>Using the blight as a force of creation to rebuild an empire for him to rule over. That's what I got out of it anywayThis made sense back when Gilhan'nain was alive but he himself very specifically says she's apparently better at controlling the Blight than him. And Solas points out that he's a retard who thinks spamming Blight will let him control everything even as he is visibly mutating into a Blight monster, presumably out of desperation without his buddy around. I hate Solas but Elgar'nan is just flat out retarded despite being imprisoned for years with no better plan to get out than "wait until the prison fucking crumbles". Keep in mind that ROOK fucking escapes the god-regret prison in record time by having a little psycho-therapy session with his Varric tulpa. Elgar'nan is just shit. SHIT.
>>501685229You will never be a woman :s
>>501685448Conservatard here, I just want to play videogames that aren't terrible. And to shit on Mythal.
>>501685463Elgar'nan is vain, deluded and brutal, not clever. I'm pretty sure Solas says something to this effect when you get him as a party member.
>>501685604Glad you're playing Veilguard, it's a great game.
>>501685448Why do you trains love killing yourselves?You do know people like Emmerich use your MALE skeletons as slaves right?
>remaster/remake the DA trilogy>remove gender restriction from Solas' romance>my fellow fags and fujosisters come rain on the russian/slav solavellan sissies' parade and steal him for ourselvesi want this to happen
>>501685668Veilguard fucking sucks, but I support pirate sites.
>Epic and Legendary upgrade of my core weapon are literally some of the last chest dropswild.
>>501685753I don't know why people think they can bother Solavellans by spamming their inferior shitty romances around them. We don't care.
Origins > Veilguard > Inquisiton > 2Even then the areas in Veilguard mog everything into oblivion.
>>501685853yes you do
>>501685662No, I get all that. But frankly he's so incompetent that Solas' rebellion feels lopsided in SOLAS' favour, in hindsight. Elgar'nan's showing was so inconsistent in this game that I can only assume he was only a threat due to sheer numbers and authority before he presumably started killing off his own Evanuris bros when they got uppity, and I have no fucking clue why anyone would listen to this asshole when apparently Mythal was a gorillion times stronger than every other god for no particular reason given her mere shard is a bossfight unto itself.
>>501685463>>501685662Oh wait ALSO. Gosh I wish I remember what codex this was in or the context but there was something about the fact that the gods lack introspection actually makes their prison stronger
My Root has super cute boots to stomp the heads of trains <3> Lucanis: Mierda! You're making a lot of wine while stomping on trains heads! I don't like wine, i like coffee!
>>501685853As someone with no skin in this "game", the bar is set so low for the other romances that I don't see the point in bragging. Frankly, if you try for romance in Veilguard you only have yourself to blame for being disappointed. >B-but muh solave-You don't even get to play the gal who gets the Solas dick lmao, you just play some rando who watches.>>501686095For what it's worth, I believe you because that tracks with Solas in so deep he has to passive aggressively ask you to stop him, like a woman trying not to lose an unwinnable argument.
> Bellara: Uh you will never be a real woman, quirkyyyyy chungus!Uh based?
So, apparently now mages are not mistreated under the qun, only by the antaam. Normal qun are good boys now. This is a retcon far worse than the tranny tolerance.
>>501686238>Hiding helmet in combat>Final Fantasy pocket obsession>Degenerate fudgepackerYou lose by default, anon.
>>501686489Yes. Yes, precisely this.
>>501686489And Kal-Sharok is a utopian society with a rich culture and no problems. This game fucking blows lmao
>>501686489Tevinter as a whole was supposed to be full of racism, debauchery, and slavery but here we are.
This game has a serious lack of cool plate armor.
>>501685753nice try faggot, hes a straight white man (evil)
>>501686095yes, I read that not long ago. It said that since they're so callous and scumbags the prison around them will take way longer to deteriorate and that they are half to blame of their own imprisonment. The codex was by solas himself I think.
>>501686582But you will never be a femoid :S
>>501686878It has a serious lack of cool anything, frankly.
There was one cool part in this game where I was fuckin around exploring in the Necropolis and teleported through a secret door onto a balcony that gave an awesome view of those Beksinzky-esque statues in the main hall. The exploring is actually really good. I think there is treasure behind every damn waterfall you find.
>>501686613>stonemason and mid-wife in trainingwake me up inside
I just realized I do elf x human romance in every DA game.
>>501687017I'll mail you my bloody pad. Just give me your mailing addy.
call me the Fade because I'm hig af
>>501687507You were told to dilate often, troon. It's bleeding because you're not taking care of your open wound. Listen to the doctor next time.
>>501687606That's not how pads work, virg.
>10 years>lavellan and solas finally unite>she's wearing the ugliest pajamas on the planetThis is why I fucking HATE bioware. Holy shit, what a TERRIBLE FUCKING OUTFIT. Always these hideous unexplainable abominations on characters. Always. Fuck.Solas looks like a Gigachad, and Inquisitor looks like a retard. Great job.
>>501685753Reminder this is the same fag who modded Alistair to be bisexual when Zevran is right there. His hatred of women is pure jealousy and closeted transgenderism as well.
>>501687968Cry troon
>>501687968Can't risk making Solas not looking like the prettier partner in the relationship, I guess.
>>501685215Given the ending reveal maybe we should've let them win
>>501687968When I saw my Lavellan wearing that shit for the first time I got flashbacks to how much I fucking raged when she showed up to Halamshiral in a fucking high school marching band costume
>>501687968>come on Ellana let's go get mcdonalds chicken nuggets in the fade. the happy meals come with a sonic toy.
I hope i can find a way to not finish any of the femoid and tr*nny companion side quests so i can get them all killed in the end and STILL get the cool cover game armor.
>>501687968Yeah, I have no idea what's up with that weird pyjama. The world's fucking ending! At least make the Inquisitor wear one of the armors from Inquisition. Or take the Inquisition pyjama design if nothing else.
>>501687968I think her saggy tits are a bigger travesty than the outfit
If nobody likes being a femoid why do transexuals wish they were one so bad? :S
the fuck is she doing here i never played the DAO dlc
>>501688158Well I wanted an ending where Solas wins but oh well
I'm trans and I like Veilguard :s need Davrin in my tight trans hole
>>501688716You can ask her later in Skyhold
>>501687968Its the Shadow Dragons casual attire. Bioware was too lazy to give the Inquisitor unique clothing lol.
Calm down Lucanis! you're not yourself when you haven't had your coffee!!!
>>501688190That's why you mod the game
>>501688653I dunno, why do you like cock so much if you don't want to be a woman. In Iran you'd already BE a woman since they trans the gay away.
>>501689386God it’s still so bad
>>501689386Wow even in games you can't pass.
>>501687968can't you customize the inquisitor in the character creator?
>>501689386>cant afford a PC that can emulate inquisition>only way to play it any time soon is through my hand-me-down ps4 >stuck with ugly default cc;-;
>>501690187Only body, face and hair. Not clothes.
>>501690187Yeah you can, but not the outfit.
Josie or Cassor Dorian
>>501689714Better than the nutcracker outfit that fits less into the setting than half of Veilguard.
>>501690251Josie is peak lesbian disney princess. Only right answer for female inquisitor.
>>501690314I'm glad inquisition let's you tr*nnies with a dyke fetish have fun
>>501690251>>501690314anon thats obviously a man if theyre talking about cass and dorianchoose josephine
this game might be better with big boob and slutty outfits mods.cbbe when?
>>501690386The anon just wanted to share with everyone he wishes he was a lesbian, retard. it had nothing to do with the question, it was "LOOK AT ME I'M TRANS!"
>>501690386Never too early to reroll.
>>501690207I also use a mod for a costume dalish keeper robe look
ive seen the word trans in this thread than i have one year of /pol/
WHY couldn't they just have the Inquisitor wearing The Skin that Stalks or whatever that's probably what most people last remember their Inqy wearing just take the extra couple fucking hours and put it into the game instead of these DISGUSTING asexual pajamas
imagine if inquisitor pinned down solas and cowgirl'd him into submission right in front of rook
Wasn't it a little much to hire the best assassin in thedas to kill all troons?
>>501690840The inquisitor is a white male human though.
>be me>play mage in DAO>alistair and leliana somehow always end up in my spell radius and suddenly theyre both on fire and dyingi hate this
>>501690840It's hot to imagine Solas holding back from kissing Lavellan how you know he usually does out of consideration for her modesty because there's people watching them
>>501690984Lucanis always looks high as hellis he filipino?
>>501690840>sudden pause>"Don't forget that you have to stop the elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain, Rook!>Solas continues gasping for air in the background
>first encounter with a companion x companion flirt scene with taash x hardingi'm gonna be sick if i see one with dav and bellara before i can even get a chance at romancing her...
>>501691252To be fair, if you wanted to romance either of them at any point that's exactly what you fucking deserve.
>>501691252its harding and taash and lucanis and neveBellara is unironically for (you)
>>501691036>firethats a weird way to describe frozen and shattered...
SEX WITH NEVE
>>501691420SAAR
>>501691072he's spanish
Is it really true companions will keep flirting with each other even when you're romancing them or is it just classic 4chan shitposting I haven't bought the game yet
>>501691686Yes, they will continue until you have a confirmed relationship with them.
>>501691420Calm down Lucanis.
>>501691420based
>>501691686Why do people seethe about that? BG3 did the same with Shadowheart lusting over Halsin even while in a relationship. Lae'zel flirts with Wyll and Astarion. Gale tells you non stop about how he loves a goddess more than you.
where do I find/buy more themes for the Lighthouse?
I unironically got cucked. I was romancing Neve. Trash game. I'm uninstalling this piece of shit.
>>501691963I would like to know this too. I have no idea how I got the monuments I do have. They just fucking appear
>>501692220You can still romance Davrin <3
>the finale of the game turns into avengers shitslopGet me out.
>Solas having an absolute blast at HalamshiralThat was honestly such a well placed red flag that absolute doesn't register the first time around
>>501692628It did register I just didn't know what to make of it>I can't believe he's actually drunk of all people what the hell
>>501691962Nta but I've always said that shittalking Veilguard by comparing it to BG3 is stupid, because BG3 has it's own fair share of dumb shit. Shittalk Veilguard by comparing it to the older BG games
>>501691962>Gale tells you non stop about how he loves a goddess more than you.there are multiple lines where he says he fell out of love with mystra for you though
>>501693029Something tells me this guy didn't romance Gale.
>>501692220Lucanis won....... they should have made neither romancable lol
>>501693029You wear the bounceback crown with pride huh
>>501684595Can someone explain to me the appeal of frecklesGenuine question
>>501692628
>>501693451I think they are cute but they went overboard with Harding's
Solevallan cuckschizos are mad about mythal too
>>501692628It registered enough to make me suspicious of him for the rest of my first playthrough.
>>501693451It's like a cute imperfection
>>501693591Of course they are. The whole game is about how Solas loved another woman much more than he will ever love LavellanHe destroyed the world for Mythal, started rebellions for her.For Lavellan he broke up with her and they didn't even have sex LMAOOOO
>>501691323Elves are meant to marry humans, it is known
>>501693258Some people are just extremely insecure and their brain shuts off if anyone speaks to someone they’re interested in
>>501694152this is why i chose cullen unironicallyi dont care about the VA controversy because i separate fiction and reality
>>501694568You're not a real woman, do you get that? You don't need to pretend or try to act like one
>>501694348this anon gets it
>>501694152>they didn't even have sexThey did have sex...there's even a dialogue option for it.
>>501694568You will never be Surana
>>501694762Fanfiction
>>501692458>>the finale of the game turns into avengers shitslopWhat?It turns into every Bioware game since DAO, dweeb.The formula and result is the same every game.
>>501694790This!!
>>501692458Anon the entire fucking game is avengers slop except the last five seconds
>>501694818You never played the game.
>>501694762brown female elves are pure sex
>>501694790>you will never be this fictional characterwell yes i’m not schizophrenic
>>501694853I disagree, the first 90% or so was a gender identity confirmation and pronoun selection simulator.
>>501694647you will never be a straight woman
>>501695519Play the game
>>501695519That's not true.You also had> Tee hee COFFEE!!> Quirkyyyyy asiaan hee heee> Oh my gosh! Awwkwaaaard!
>>501695602I am right now, what's your point?
>the soft asian girl music playing in the background of Bellara’s couch sceneWhy does this feel racist?
>>501695604>> Quirkyyyyy asiaan hee heeeIt's been confirmed she's an autistic coded character. She's not quirky, she was written to be autistic.
>>501695753People with autism give me the ick.
>>501695753Everyone in The Veilguard Squad Team is autistic
is fucking blackwall as kino as everyone says it is or is it just 4channers that want to larp as a greasy murder hobo
Point: People are dying right now.Counterpoint: People are always dying.Notice how Varric had no counter-counterpoint to this.
>>501696004nah he's cucky coward LARPing as a hero.
Which Dragon Age girl takes the fattest shits?
>>501696004I like to write fanfictions about him being a pedophile who loves little boys
>>501696209hawke
>>501696209Morrigan 100% she muses in DAO that she spends many nights as a wolf running with a pack strongly suggested she's probably taking copious amounts of knot and consuming tons of raw protein and flesh.
LITTLEEEE BOYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
No one cares fag
>>501696581whats with mages and wolves
>veilguard flops bigly>trump announces non-binary will no longer exist on the federal level
>gay schizo who hates women is a pedophilewhoa i did not see that coming!
bros why are her eyes redthese card updates are my favorite thing in this game
>>501697005I was really hoping the veilguard cards would update once you get their loyalty quests done, but nope.
>Harding in her 20s>I like hiking, nature and camping>Harding in her 30s>my cultural heritage. We are people of stone Best representation of white woman ever writen
neve or bellara for my straight white male elf
>>501697301neve
>>501697301Bellara's is really juvenile due to her being autistic so it almost feels predatory. Neve's is more traditional and she starts calling you "trouble" which is cute.Take your pick white man
>Fighting the Devouring Shade during the Bellara quest in Act 2 while on Nightmare difficultyThat was the most tedious boss fight in any game I've ever played.
>>501697426But neve cucks you with coffee boy
i havent looked at this at all but are the romances in veilguard still bioware genderlocked or is it bg3 anyone is game
>>501697684everyone is playersexual
>>501697565Didn't happen in my game. Sounds like a you problem.
>>501697426why are you wording it like bellara is a crayon-eating chris-chan autist? she is just awkward.
>>501697684Playersexual but start doing it early as party members will start shacking up with eachother or other NPCs.I randomly walked into Emmrich gooning to the nigro veil jumper even though, in-game, they never interacted prior.
>>501696071>"Yes..but his time, it's your fault."Varric is a cuck and Solas is a CHUD that needs to be sissified
>>501697709>>501697937neat, I gotta finish DAI firsthow do i access the trespasser dlc?
>>501698056after the game go to the war room
>>501698056its postgame
>>501697565that only happens if you don't romance her retardlike tali in me3
>>501698179Retard they flirt the whole game even while you're romancing them
>Bioware actually pulled the "it's all a dream" card
>>501698159>>501698174alright thanksshould i do the descent whenever or is it like a "do it before the final boss" kind of dlc?
>>501698224See: >>501697818You may want to do some introspection as to why video game characters are cucking you lol.
HAHAHAH COFFEEEEEAMIRITE FELLASCOFFEEEEIF I HEAR COFFEE ONE MORE FUCKING TIME
Just did Neve's first companion quest at dock town, and I'm actually really digging the dynamic between her and retard cheeky optimist Rook. Guess I really will go for her this run, and save Bellara for next time.
>>501698280its higher level and I believe it has level scaling
>>501698398Didn't happen in your game because you didn't play it, anon.
>>501698441She's definitely the best romanceable and one of the best companions. Also has the best loyalty quests.
>>501698426remember when companions had depth
>>501698240Every game after DAO is Varric's fanfic.
>>501698240Don't care, had fun
>>501698997You didn't 94% the game in 10 days. You didn't even play it.
>>501698997>Braden Penn
Should I be a grey warden or mourn watch?
>Any difficulty other than NightmareYou've basically played the entire game as a cutscene. How can I trust anything you say?
>>501698997WTF is this who is constantly shit posting?
>>501699267Warden. Game is heavily blight focused
>>501699303It's Braden FUCKING Penn, man.
>>501699267Mourn Watch are the epitome of irrelevance.
>>501699287
nothing says medieval fantasy like cornrows, braids, and dreads
Very few of these cutscenes do my character justice. I'm clearly edgy.
>>501699267Mourn watch is super cool but doesn't get as much stuff as warden does. On the other hand you do have to be a member of the most retarded faction if you go warden
>>501699450
accidentally posted in the dead thread because i'm a retard, anyway, sucks that Jowan's quest is bugged.
>>501699738>No choccy milk?
>>501699840Which quest?
It's impossible to actually talk about how this game fucks up because you know 90% of the people you're talking to haven't played it and are just repeating memes or lines from a review they skimmed through.
Why doesn't Solas just petrify the archdemon?
>>501700075The funniest is the "the combat is a slog" "had to turn it on easy so it was quicker" "enemies are too tanky"
What a badass! total femoid death
>>501700070Jowan's Intention, it's a chanter's board quest if you free Jowan from Redcliffe, but it's bugged and doesn't show up unless you use a mod or debug it yourself.
So which elf was behind Dumat the greatest Archdemon who was closest to fucking up everything with the greatest blight.
>>501700075Well what do you want to talk about it?Most people haven't finished it so don't expect people to understand the ending.
>>501694152Solassisters...
>finally meet the First Warden>he literally is the Mass Effect CouncilmanMotherfucker, how do people even resist decking him?
>>501700643Udina was funny thoughhttps://youtu.be/Pkc_UqD48Ng?si=Z1c7_YLeUeQxYQQ_Him going traitor was dumb though when it finally seemed he was going through a redemption arc
>>501700643I wish I could've straight up stabbed him through his heart. Wouldn't have changed anything really, and as Shadow Dragon Rook, would not have phased my Rook in the slightest.
>>501699267Just pick whichever has the coolest looking armor you want.Ultimately, Darkspawn are the most common enemies followed by Antaam and then Venatori.
Lucanis. No.LUCANIS. I SAID NO. I SAID NO.STOP WITH THE COFFEEENOOAAAAHHHHHHHHH
>>501700747The entire main plot of ME3 was nonsense.
>>501699516Scandis had braids and dreads…
>>501700346>>501699840>reminded that jowan was never going to be a companion nor make an appearance ever againit HURTS.
>>501694348you sure about that?https://files.catbox.moe/87x98w.mp4
WHAT A PLOT TWIST
>>501700643>Motherfucker, how do people even resist decking him?I didn't. I laid that nigga out.
>>501699516Dragon age would NEVER
>>501701553that's a mod
Holy kino companion quests are amazingDavrin's is so good!Lucanis is so kinoBellara is so interesting!I wonder how badass and awesome Taash personal quest is! I hope it involves epic thigns and not sitting down with her mom to talk about not being a woman! (something trains wish they were)
I want to replay DAO so bad it isn’t even funny anymore. And the worst part is I have to wait for my new computer to come in, This is torture.
>>501701702>I hope it involves epic thignsIt has like 2 dragon fights, it's a pretty epic questline
>>501701603No it isn’t
>>501700210frankly i found the parry timing to be too tight so i made it forgiving and combat got a lot nicer
>>501701818It's pretty forgiving when you realize that the parry indicator is a fucking lie and appears way too early
>>501701553thats fine since sten is a foreigner from a land completely alien to that of ferelden
>>501699516when I played Mage Warden I found a black male enchanter in the library though
>>501701818I largely didn't have to block/parry by mid game onwards. Everything just died so quick.
if dao released today, all the grifters would be crying woke
>>501701926I did it to get flaming weapons, then get enough rage to cast bane blight and everything just died.
>>501701969anon that already happened
>>501701969It is woke tho
>>501702012It's not though
>>501702082It is so.
>>501702145Proof?
>>501701363Why is there chinese music in the BGM
>>501702012>>501702082>>501702145they play it low key and they dont shove all of the faggotry in your face but it is at least true to life as medieval europe was full of homos and degenerates
>>501702082it is woke and that's what's really funny when chuddie tourists say that DA became woke with inquisition or veilguard
>>501701901We're not in ferelden
>>501702214Medieval europe was not full of women warrior and feminist garbage.
proof?
>>501702214>>501702298did mediaval europe have dragons, magic, lyrium etc. too?
>>501702331> The game is not woke> Ok is woke but it's fantasy so it's okYou could be honest regarding your agenda rather than gaslight at first and then pretend it's ok.
>>501702463the series was woke from the start, tourists don't really want to acknowledge that
>>501684787Richard Ramirez
IMPOSBILEEEEE
>>501693258>>501694507>>501693305
>my knight enchanter inquisitor who could solo Elgar'nan, the archdemon and Solas together in 0.34 seconds is just an emotional support background character for the entire finale
>>501702587>the series was always [meaningless buzzword]
Imagine how KINOOOO would have been if it had been the protagonist the one who had gotten the titan magic rather than carrying this lyrium sword for no reason at all.
>>501703615humans don't need midget magic
>>501702226>game with two bisexual companions who are extremely easy to reject/can both be killed if you hate them that much>this is the same as a game that forces you to affirm a troon's gender identity to get the true ending because WOKE
HAHAHAHAHAA BIOWARE IS SO FUNNYYYYY
>>501703773>true endingit's just a minute long cutscene you can watch on youtubenobody is forcing to associate with her
>>501703837The dialogue is so horribly written. Oftentimes it is >le quippy remark>"Yup."or something along these lines, literally written by retarded 8 year olds.
the awakening armor for the elf girlthe go with the archive one has such better passive and stats

>>501704061I now realize why they gave her those baggy ass pants. Because she looks retarded with fitted pants. But that only looks retarded because they made everyone bow legged. What the fuck?
>>501703773> Killing biscum (not a real sexuality) makes the game non woke> Ignore all the feminist garbage and 99% of the warriors being women It's funny how people keep swinging left more and more. Feminism became acceptable, next black people, next gays, next trannies, hope pedos are next! ohh and puppy fuckers!
Reminder that Rook can mention that xhe's a virgin in Emmerich's romanceLavellan was also a virgin before Solas's BWCGrandpas won
>>501704289Have you ever considered posting better
>>501704289>and 99% of the warriors being women me when i never played origins
>>501704331So the only thing you have in common with your fictional self insert is you both being virgins, because the big difference is that you will never be a woman
>>501704289Child prostitution became acceptable in Weimar Germany, look how that ended.
>>501704259meh the one for harding is just as bad, its just lazily done
Which faction has the most content after the Grey Wardens?
>>501704289You will never be picked by straights you self-hating retard.

>>501704552Probably shadow dragons?
What's the Veilguard version of this?
>>501684595There's no fucking way you retards have a general for this
>>501704701The whole game is a version of this. I need time to recover from this pig slop.
>>50170473650% of the posts here come from the same homosexual schizoid who seethes at every other minority except his own
>>501704552Veil jumpers have more than Shadow Dragons since they can actually say stuff about the elven gods.Next is Shadow DragonNext is Crow.Next Mourn WatchNext is Lord of Fortune which has nothing
>>501704957>Next is Lord of Fortune which has nothingProbably saved that for the DLC, haha jk.
>>501705073I'm thinking if they were going to make a DLC it had to be in a place with snow since the base game has zero snowy places. So maybe back to Skyhold?
>>501705108Doesn't the Harding side quest have snow on top of the mountain? I don't quite remember.

>>501694568What controversy? That mildly conservative rant he made a couple of years ago? Lmao how controversial.
>>501705268you keep posting your ugly main character with his dumb beard looking like a fat ass lazy peon
>>501705913He's so gorgeous <3
>>501705913Don't interact with it.
>>501706013You keep begging people not to talk to me yet they still do. How embarrassing lmaoYou're so powerless!
>>501705989Your Rook is cute
>Andradte's Mabari song foreshadowed Mythal's and Solas's relationship
>>501705989Your Rook looks like he fucks asian women exclusively.
>>501706364Think again, he's a massive slutty gay bottom with a hairy ass and he loves when Davrin shoves his BIG BLACK COCK inside him and they can fuck all night long because they have WARDEN STAMINA.
i wonder if i could recreate male shepard in this
>>501705225i like how her character perfectly encapsulates what being friends with a troon is like
>>501706446Ew
>>501706013i poked the faggot now hes posting like 5 times since loljust annoyed by his character's ugly beard
where the fuck did solas and romanced lavellan go in the endingplease explain im not playing veilguard
>>501707001What have you done
>>501707076According to his writer they go into the fade prison to work on curing the blight
>>501707076To sollavellan hell
>>501705913>lazy peonWhatever happened there?
What i would like to know is why the writers are so quiet about how much people hated their game.They didn't play victim and claimed they are being sent death threats like they usually do (even when nobody interacts with them so it's an obvious lie)They didn't apologize or try to explain themselves or blame someone or something.Instead they are DEAD quiet pretending the game never happened, and the last time a developer said something, was that tr*nny Weekes having a meltdown about Trump winning.So how come???What's with the silence?AT LEAST call your players transphobic for not liking Taash or something. BUT WHY SO QUIET
>>501707251>punched by his wife>punched by his babySolas is an abuse victim
>>501707421theyre scared

>>501707421Why should they say anything?
>all this fucking water in Treviso to drown inAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M NUKING YOU JUST FOR THAT
>>501708113It's nice
>>501707421One of the writers mentioned waiting a couple months after release until he talked about what they envision for Kieran. Maybe then they'll discuss other plot points too. Not sure why they have to wait so long though.
I can't believe /dag/ is back, after all these years...
>>501708427Letting the drama die die down probably
>>501708427>kieran dlc appearance:0
>>501708268i cant mod it ill try to salvage the ugly default cc to the best of my artistic ability
Where did it go wrong?
>>501707421I think the Concord flop has changed the gaming industry. They're probably afraid of catching some EA exec's attention.
>>501707421Negotiating being let go from the company without being actually fired
>>501708863Being tortured will do that to you
>>501708906I remember there was a tumblr blog called Dirty Bioware Confessions and half of it were about Dorian eating Krem's vagina. Powerful.
>>501708863Pope Lady forced her back into the assassin life, and then went and died
>>501702205>Why is there chinese music in the BGMi'm gonna hold your hand when i tell you this...
>>501709016Well Krem is obviously a man so of course Dorian would be interested
For me, it's Neve.
My panties were wet after this scene. I love hearing Taash's voice lines change for combat fallouts>That was hot, Took!
>>501710689Trains are weird.
>>501705225i intend to ignore taash ! as much as its possible
>>501707421I think Bioware wants to forget and everyone else to forget about Veilguard. It was the write off project for the very long time.
>>501706834>TroonYou weren't their friend
>>501710689i wonder what the romance is like with taash
>>501711374
non binary women still have fuckable pussies tho
>>501711374I'll keep updating as I go through it. I'm playing tranny Rook though so it may be substantially different than a cisgendered Rook's romance

I started listening to the datv soundtrack after finishing the game. It's a certified banger. Sad that they only seem to use it act 3 only.
The anons who said TV has bad comedy were lying.
>>501711176I wanted to do that but i was told i need to do all her quests to get the cover game armor
I cannot take the crows seriously now that they are a big loving family of goody two shoes who obviously only kill bad evil people for money instead of going after anyone if the money is right
>>501713002I could forgive a lot if Teia showed more cleavage.
>>501712657is it the armor for companion or for the Rook?id have to do that if its for the Rook, otherwise fuck Taash
>>501713392Yes the cover purple armor with the cool cape and hood you supposedly only get if you complete all cmpanions quests. If you don't complete quest however she diesSo you have to choose either kino cool armor, or dead tranny

>>501705225Back in my day, we called them "posers"
>>501715342Solas is blatantly the developers' waifu, not sure what you were expecting when the game somehow found a way to make him simultaneously the mastermind of the imminent apocalypse AND your mission control
Seeing how the ancient elven gods Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain are apparently just picking up whatever help is within shouting distance and brute forcing their way through every obstacle, I'm getting more of an appreciation for Corypheus. Setting aside whether his plans were successful or even good, he at least made some attempts at creative problem solving. Like his fabrication of the Wardens' calling, his deployment of the Envy doppelganger, his exploiting delicate political situations in Ferelden and Orlais to stoke rebellions, his taking advantage of the social ailments pertaining to the Mage-Templar conflict, etc.For comparison the new Double Corypheus threat seems to be mostly fucking around the whole time except where they create the red lyrium dagger and besiege Weisshaupt, and they don't appear to have planned very carefully for either, they just charged straight at the problem.Cory will forever be kind of a goober, but at least he tried.
>>501715982The elven gods unironically have main character syndrome
>>501684787What is fun about the shield combat?
>wardens accept both men and women>antoine and evka show romance occurs and is condoned>morrigan and fiona prove wardens are capable of procreationSo where are all the little warden kids running around weisshaupt?

>>501716670oh nvm then
>>501713547I'd rather keep my Warden armor anyway. Taash is so dead
Why do so many nerds on reddit act like this game irreparably damaged the lore? Is the lore actually bad? I never paid much attention to the lore of the previous games but nothing I saw in veilguard seems to be too out there in regards to stuff we learned in inquisition at least
>>501716992It's grifters trying to turn Dragon Age fans into their newest cultists, even though the franchise as a whole is as liberal as the New Testament of the Bible.
>>501716992just tourists being tourists i guess
>>501716992There's a typical oh shit we wrapped everything up but EA wants us to leave the franchise open to another game so uhhhhhh here's this other guy who was behind everything post-credits stinger. Which is pretty dumb but easily ignored.
vorgoth is pure cinema
>>501716992I won't pretend I don't have issues with the worldbuilding in the game, but I think a lot of the supposed controversy is driven by people who want to see a new TORtanic.
>>501717549most of them expected concord 2.0 with like 300 concurrents and had to move goalposts many times
still not beaten the game yet ! did a bunch of companion quests , just have Emmerich left to do then the 3 max level bosses did the trannys quest and her outfit unlock was literally just Isabellas with a cape and shitty stats
>>501716992>typical reddt passive aggressiveness yeah sure thing kid sitting in a general about this game you know absolutely nothing about the lore lol this game shat all over it
>>501717318>Which is pretty dumb but easily ignored.Ehm no, it can't. It fucks up literally everything.
>>501715553is solas the new leliana then?
>>501717778It literally doesn't matter. The only thing it actually affects is a potential game a decade from now so who gives a fuck. >uhhhhh but bioware canon now canonically says that the oogoooboogoos did the thing in canon I don't care
>>501717549The funny thing is, The Old Republic survived being TORtanic. It's still up to this day.
>>501717549>>501717616if anybody expected Concord, they were retarded. That was an MP game and it made sense to cancel it, Sega made a similar call with Hyenas.Veilguard is a very different case, since it was reworked twice on EA's request.
>>501717940Doesn't matter if you care, it ruined everything.DA has made of point of not always seeking someone to blame and now we have the loominati to blame for everything. Nu-BW doesn't understand Dragon Age at all.
>>501717731>yeah sure thing kid sitting in a general about this game you know absolutely nothing about the lore lolI mean I dont know NOTHING about the lore of the game. I've played the games, but I never read the codex entries or any of the outside media. Also its not like finding a general about a game is some arcane knowledge restricted to only a few select Dragon Age loreheads.>>501717731>this game shat all over itIn what way?
>>501717973/v/ is still convinced that concord failed because of le woke and not because it was a game nobody gave a shit about released too late in a saturated market.
>>501718103I never even heard about it until veilguard got compared to it
>>501717783Tragically yes, that comparison fits.
>0% ost use before the point of no return>100% ost use after the point of no returnis the audio bugged or what

>>501687379>Kal-Sharok's dwarves were supposed to be creepy, wary of strangers, and closer to darkspawn>Inquisition hints at this with a mission>the lore book confirms this, also>Harding just says one line about them being bad with strangers, the Kal-Sharok dwarf alludes at needing to "adapt", but that's it>no exploration of the city proper, no hatred towards Orzammar, they don't really know shit about the Titans, it's Valta from Inquisition giving hints againThey should have just canceled this game, it shits on everything the series built before. We thought things were bad with Bull, but at least you could ignore Krem and the rest of the lore was interesting (or at least, presented in an interesting way).
>>501719369Not enough forehead.
What is this dogshit writing lmao? You have less power than a fucking Hawke, you're just a literally who with his limp dicked mahvel squad.

>>501700375Dirthamen. Dumat is the Old God of Silence, Dirthamen the Evanuris of secrets, so that's his dragon. His followers were insane as fuck (you explore one of his temples in Inquisition); Morrigan says he and Falon'Din were two fragments of the same spirit; and back in Inquisition Solas already told us Falon'Din was also crazy and bloodthirsty, so Dirthamen probably wasn't the sanest of the bunch either.

>>501707076The regret prison in the Fade, but the writer confirmed it won't look bad for them, because their love will shape it into something better. That's why their ending slide is colorful and hopeful, they are probably relaxing and fucking in a Fade cottage in a Fade meadow while holding therapy sessions with the Titans.
>>501719947I will be gooning to your rook tonight.

I spent way too much time trying to recreate my inquisitor.
>>501720514pretty
>>501720004>but the writer confirmed it won't look bad for them, because their love will shape it into something bettergaygaaaaaaaaayAnd are you supposed to believe that it WAS awful for Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain? Both seem like just about the only person the other wouldn't mind control/mutate on a whim. Really if MUH BONDS is all it takes to "reshape it into something better" than the two of them probably had it pretty good in there. I mean, they don't seem in much of a hurry to leave.
>>501719573I bet he's the type of autist that gets really anal about terminology.
>>501720472>the Inquisitor stops giving a fuck and follows her god boyfriend into a comfy dream dimensionIt's incredible how only ONE VERSION of one of the main characters of the saga gets a happy ending. The Hero of Ferelden either dies in DA:O or due to the Calling, no matter who their lover is, because it's confirmed they don't find a cure. Hawke either dies in the Fade or see their city succumb to the Blight, and they might die while defending it. We'll never know, so we just have headcanons for them.A non-solavellan Inquisitor has to deal with all the shit in the south, barely holding any power and influence even if they gave their organization to the Chantry, Skyhold a ruin of its former glorious self, knowing everything happened because they didn't recognize Solas for who he was.But a Lavellan who romanced Solas? She gets her own ending with custom ending slide. She gets to abandon everything and finally stay with her lover, far from all political shit, the regret prison actually turning into a cozy home according to the writer, mending dreams and probably becoming immortal because elves are naturally tied to the Fade and she's now living in it. The devs KNEW the solavellan fans would have ripped them a new one if they didn't deliver this at least lol.
>>501720514just another proof Cisquisition>Trannyguard
>>501720880>he's*she's*Mistyped the fucking wrong pronoun lol
>>501720472>>Minrathous and Treviso are full of BlightNo dude all the blight turned into rock after Solas fixed up the veil. It even washed Bellara's runny makeup off.
>>501720942Nice fanfic

>>501721162par vollen is rightful tevinter clayDorian will get it back.
>coulda had Imshael>coulda had Calpernia>coulda had SaarebasFeels sad.
>>501721230As if. The Venatori rise.
>>501720942>The Hero of Ferelden either dies in DA:O or due to the Calling, no matter who their lover is, because it's confirmed they don't find a cure.I think he has better chances of surviving if he romanced Morrigan, even if he didn't find a cure. But yeah, a HoF with Morrigan was clearly the old devs' canon couple, just like a Lavellan with Solas is the new devs'. Romances with Very Important Characters always add more to the story, but it's also risky, because the devs need to implement more choices and stuff when creating them, and they could shoot themselves in the foot in the long run. I saw many solavellans fans being disappointed by the "rushed" ending, but I'm not sure what they were expecting after ten years of development hell and the need not annoy other players who didn't romance Solas.
>>501721162I think they confirmed Sten survived the ambush that caused him to lose the antaam, right? If he's still the arishok and Dorian is archon, the south is gonna go through a war for sure.
>>501720773>And are you supposed to believe that it WAS awful for Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain? Both seem like just about the only person the other wouldn't mind control/mutate on a whim>those two>not being seething retards too focused on ranting about the wolf ruining all their grand plans to ever chill out and try to make the best of thingsDon't lie to yourself, anon
>>501720773>And are you supposed to believe that it WAS awful for Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain?There's a codex from Solas saying those two will never escape that prison unless they get introspective and start working on their issues, which will never happen. The blight warped their already shitty personalities.
>>501720942>, because it's confirmed they don't find a cure.Where was that confirmed?
Rook is retarded as fuck, and I love him.
>>501721437>I saw many solavellans fans being disappointed by the "rushed" endingWe we got wasn't awful but I expected more of a build up. I didnt think that their reunion/confrontation/redemption would be three minutes of content at the very last bit of the game. I especially didnt think Solas himself would get so little in-person content considering he's the literal one person in the world with the most knowledge, experience, etc to deal with the threat. Everybody seems to love his and Rook's dynamic but they get so little screen time together. I'd love more petty bickering between him and the gods myself.Considering who and what the enemy was all the bits of lore regarding him and the other gods feel like a bunch good points connected to each other in loose and shitty ways. He and the Inquisitor both are resources that werent implemented well and are now wasted since their story has ended.
>>501722790*them*
>>501722528By the entirety of Veilguard, unfortunately. Antoine, Evka, and Davrin say time and time again how the Calling is the end for any Warden. Solas himself says he cannot cure the blight, but just soothe the Titans' anger. The Wardens are all ready for the song to start in their head sooner or later, there is no mention of a possible cure anywhere, no one mentions it, the Fifth Blight itself is barely mentioned in mementos and easter eggs (like the chalice recovered at Ostagar that you find in Weisshaupt's library). Since they decided not to carry our choices across, they were pretty much forced to go with their canon, and it's clear this is what they had in mind: the Warden failing to find anything in the east - because if he did, why doesn't anyone know anything about it?
APOLOGIZE
>>501723580nahit's still pretty bad
>>501723218>the Warden failing to find anything in the east - because if he did, why doesn't anyone know anything about it?Fuck, the thing that makes me most mad is the fact that they gave us hints about a possible cure ever since that book with Fiona and Maric. She is cured from the blight when she gets possessed by a spirit, right? She's the only Warden in history who got free and you can talk about it with her in Inquisition if you save the mages. They must have had something in mind, especially Gaider, and Japlin was supposed to use the Keep, but now we will never know what. The blight is caused by the severed dreams of the Titans: why does it affect people like a plague, then? Why can a spirit possessing a person free them from that affliction? Is it because they take the angry dreams within themself and carry them back to the Fade? The more I think about what we could have had the more I get angry.
>>501723218And also Fiona was never cured because they don't mention her every time they talk about the calling
>>501723690>She is cured from the blight when she gets possessed by a spirit, right?She was cured because Maric knocked her up.
>>501723580Once best girl becomes a romance option. Until then, STFU
>>501721614I'm not. I'm being genuinely surprised neither of them backstabbed the other throughout the whole game.>>501721614Who said anything about escaping it? I know those two are too full of themselves to get out, I'm just questioning how bad they actually had it in there.
>>501723580Never.
>>501723893>I'm being genuinely surprised neither of them backstabbed the other throughout the whole game.They're the last family either of them has left and want the same things why would they backstab?
I was just thinking that I wish Imshael actually was in this game. It would have been interesting to hear the perspective of a demon actually excited and looking forward to the Veil coming down. Plus, he's fun.
>the entire country of Nevarra is just a big Hogwarts with Halloween decorationsThat is actually a lot lamer than I ever could have imagined.
>>501723990>They're the last family either of them has leftExactly. That's my point, that unless the prison is truly contrived to only asspull itself into a happy cottage with the power of ROMANTIC love, that following the same line of logic Eggers and Gilly probably had a nice, platonic little paradise to seethe about their eventual return in (I am choosing to err on the side of pessimism and assume current Bioware isn't based enough to write the villains fucking their own family cliche)
Shadow Dragons are so fucking annoying. At least if you don't save Treviso the Crows are kind of salty but they understand. Meanwhile the Shadow Faggot are all "reeee this is YOUR fault, why didn't you single handedly fight off a dragon for us!"
>>501722959>I especially didnt think Solas himself would get so little in-person contentHeh, I knew it would be like that when they announced the new title. "Veilguard" isn't mentioned once in the entire game, but "Dreadwolf" would have been a red herring, because Solas is barely present in person in what was supposed to be his own game. You just see his regrets, talk with him three or four times, never fight him, and Rook pretty much decides everything while Dorian and the Inquisitor, the ones who would have the most to say about their old companion, stay silent.>He and the Inquisitor both are resources that werent implemented well and are now wasted since their story has ended.They shot themselves in the foot when they decided to change characters once again. At the end of Inquisition, the Inquisitor has pretty much become the Shepard of Thedas: they are directly tied to the greatest menace the world has ever seen, their companions believe them and are ready to support them, they have the biggest chance of surviving because they know the enemy well etc. Instead they decided to give us yet another new protagonist who never met Solas and whose sole reason for dealing with all of this is because Varric is out of commission (dead, but they don't know it yet), Solas is in their head, and they were hired for the job. There is no sense of urgency, of doom in the Lighthouse. Imagine if they made us play as a random merc instead of finishing the trilogy with Shepard in ME3.This is why Solas and the Inquisitor are implemented like shit and the emotional catharsis didn't happen for everyone.
>all those moments of Rook confessing their insecurities to Varric about becoming the new leader, and encouraged was secretly Solas grooming themWow, I'm amazed how dirty this feels
It honestly feels like the Inquisitor is more friendly towards Rook than their own companions. Dude is constantly writing letters and giving Rook words of encouragement while the companions are off having book clubs (without rook) and figuring out each other's foods (no rook on this list).
>>501724269I give your fanfic idea 25 points. It's totally OOC but is a hot enough premise that I'd still at least click on it.
>>501724515>and figuring out each other's foods (no rook on this list).tbf you already said it during that convo with bellara and neve
>>501724262Cass told you they were a bunch of weirdos who worshipped death bro.
>>501724456That's what made me choose the fight Solas ending. Dude is a snake and I've lost any sympathy I gained during Trespasser.
HoF has returned everything is fixed we are back
>>501724515Davrin was forced to take a day off and he chose to spend it camping with his baby bird and Rook.
>>501724636That easy huh
Not going to lie the Inquisitor being the only reason the entire south hasn't fallen to the giga blight sounds like it would be a better game.
I miss Calpernia. I miss Samson.
>>501724426>"Dreadwolf" would have been a red herring, because Solas is barely present in person in what was supposed to be his own game.Dreadwolf was the correct game because you learn in Veilguard that not only is this Solas' game, the entite fucking world as it exists in the Dragon Age series is because of HIM. You will never convince me the name wasn't changed for anything but marketing reasons.
>There are like 50 companion quests >90% of them are just going to a place blah blah blah blah blah and then the quest just ends

>>501723218That only confirms that BW was too lazy to factor decisions made in previous games, so they simply ignored them and focused on pushing their tranny agenda.
>>501723218>because if he did, why doesn't anyone know anything about it?Warden CEOs don't want it known because the Order would die out when people who were taken in against their will can just fuck off and get cured anytime they wantI made that up of course
>>501724772I like to imagine HoF and Hawke are helping to carry the South too
>>501724831>the name wasn't changed for anything but marketing reasons.but Dreadwolf sounds way better than Veilguard
Can I romance my Inquisitor as Rook? I miss him so much.
>>501725174meanwhile rook goes on truffle hunts, visits gardens and eats fried fish lol
>>501725367Did you see the marketing for this game?
>>501725174The Inquisitor not being the protagonist of this game is such a fucking tragedy. Rook adds fucking NOTHING to the story and NO ONE challenges or blames them for anything like they should. In Inquisition your companions criticized you! And challenged you to give them a reason to believe in you and prove why anyone else should.
>>501724831They changed Dreadwolf into Veilguard the moment they decided they weren't actually going to let the Fade fall wasting the Dreadwolf to Fade World title screen update when it happens
>>501725174On one hand it's a good way to show that the Inquisitor is still as capable as they were during their own game. On the other hand it just makes me wish they we got to play as them again even more. Rook's entire reason for being involved in this mess is Varric hired them.
>>501725467>and NO ONE challenges or blames them for anything like they should>as everyone whines about people blaming or challenging Rook for choosing X city over Y city
>>501725664No, they whine about faction points and romance options being affected. There is absolutely no fucking emotional or narrative stakes tied to that consequence. Rook the character doesn't suffer for it, the player does.
>>501724426Exactly. His thing in Inquisition being that he has trouble trusting others, that little bit In Tevinter Nights when the regret demon thinks there might've been a better way, the thing with Veilgurd being about working together with your companions to save the world. I thought the game was going to give a chance actually confront and change his mind. Instead it's just a few lines of dialogue and a sudden heel-face turn. And I know it shouldn't/wouldn't take too much to push him given that he was already part of the way there with a romanced Inquisitor and he wanted to stop.The writing between/about Solavellen is my favorite part of the game. The voice acting from both of them is really fucking good. And it ended up being literal minutes of content out of 70 hours of gameplay.So yea no emotional catharsis even though the actual ending is sweet and romantic.
>>501725376No.
>>501724831>that not only is this Solas' game, the entite fucking world as it exists in the Dragon Age series is because of HIM.you mean the executors
>>501704061Exposed feet or not?
>>501725850>a chance actually confront and change his mindWhat would you have said to change his mind?
>>501717783Morrigan was always Gaider's ultimate waifu, though.
>>501726053No, I mean him. The creator of the Veil, cause of the destruction of ancient Elvhenan, extinction of the Titans and creator of the fucking blight and whatever else I'm probably forgetting right now. The Executors can only work with within the world that Solas created. As far as we know anyway
The Executors retconed Qunari culture between the games. The Executors revealed the secrets of teleportation to mages across Thedas.The Executors constantly redesign the darkspawn. The Executors manipulated the Warden into going East as a prank. The Executors resettled black people across Thedas while nobody was looking. The Executors put special rainbow lyrium in the water to make people gay and trans.
>>501720004>but the writer confirmedWeekes can spout whatever HE wants, the ending takes a steaming shit on the entire setting so that invalidates any of his words.
>>501726053>>501726465Oh also Solas already knew about the Executors. He warned Charter about them after magnanimous sparing her life cuz she asked nicely.
>>501725664People whine on twitter because they ruined their romance with Lucanis, not because a faction hates them. You just get some ambient conversation about some citizens blaming Rook, but it has no consequence whatsoever on the game, and later the faction you didn't "save" say they understand your reasons and are recovering in their own way.
>>501726570The Executors also manipulated me into writing East instead of West.
>>501724568They're also famous for creating dragon hunters. Remember, Cassandra is part of the royal family of Nevarra.
>>501726135I've never been sure how it would happen. I never imagined Mythal would be a part of it but I did figure it would be a group effort between how Rook's team works and words from the Inquisitor. I also kinda wanted the Veil to come down though. For the sake of spirits but also because with magic back into the world I'd hope that the fear and misunderstanding of it that leads to the violence against mages would have a chance to heal after it becomes more commonplace. Thats where I was hoping the "working together for a better way" would come into play. My big worry of it being if the Fade comes back into the world would it bring back immortality, because I think the functional immortality bolsters the accumulation of power. It's harder to compile godly amounts of power and knowledge when your lifespan is limited to 80 or so years vs living until you're stabbed in the chest.
>>501724530>It's totally OOCMy point is Eggers and Gilly-chan show empathy and respect for each other so frequently throughout the game that I'm not actually sure it is. The game makes a point of calling them mad tyrants and then also shows them mourning, protecting and striving to live up to each other.But hey, Veilguard is shit and none of this would matter if I wasn't autistic enough for it to live rent free in my head.
>>501726465>>501726639i want to draw now thanks this is motivating me
>tfw your BF/Husbandos tells you that he's made a new penpal in the North who is not only a member of the Mourn Watch, but Varric's protegee too
>>501727141Sure but the death mages have been in control of Nevarra for a while and the dragons are nearly gone.
>>501727182>But hey, Veilguard is shit and none of this would matter if I wasn't autistic enough for it to live rent free in my head.literally thisif i wasnt hyperfixated on this shit franchise i would have abandoned it ages ago
>>501727141They must not have much notoriety outside their own clique if people would sooner refer Rook to seek out a Rivaini bumpkin like Taash.
>>501727182They certainly have a bond but I think you're anthropomorphizing it a little too much. One thing I liked about the gods in this game is that they are not "just people." Like how Solas says that Ghil is not constrained by "anything that you would understand as 'morality'" They attempted to portray them as inscrutable to some degree and I appreciated that.
It's so weird looking up Merrill's voice actress or Solas's voice actor and it's like they're ghosts outside of these roles. Also why is the previous thread empty?
>be me>black>make my character a blonde white personits gaming time
>>501727461Doesn't mean the entirety of Nevarra is one big fucking crypt.
>>501727723>It's so weird looking up Merrill's voice actress or Solas's voice actor and it's like they're ghosts outside of these roles.Not that weird. You got some cases like that in Japanese games, too. Tifa's japanese voice only ever has her as voice credit and some older movies/tv show roles to her name.
>>501727723>
>can import my Rook's looks from my save file>but not the Inquisitor'sAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>501693305That title belongs to Cullenmancers with a female mage HoF world state.
>>501727178>I also kinda wanted the Veil to come down though.I did too. Anyway I always thought that there would be no way for Rook or the Inquisitor to just convince him to stop ir change his mind. The only thing that I could conceive of is that you would have to find a better way for him to get back what was lost WITHOUT people needing to die. But because he has infinitely more knowledge and has been doing this for 1000s of years, there's no way you would able to find something that he overlooked. I didn't see another way besides that for this to end except his death being the thing that stops him. Mythal being solution was actually so good and I loved it. It makes so many things about him in Inquisiton cast in a new light and make so much more sense. Especially his relationship with the Inquisitor. I just love it.
>>501721061That's Veilguard for you
>>501728214>But because he has infinitely more knowledge and has been doing this for 1000s of years, there's no way you would able to find something that he overlooked.>after he overlooked the side effects of putting up the veil in the first place >and then overlooked what letting Corypheus get the orb would do
>>501727735I don’t think it is? You’re just going to one big fucking crypt.
>>501728025>female mage HoFSo like no one?
>Nevarra>skeletons sweeping the floors>ghosts chatting in the corridors>halls lit by magical fire>mages sauntering around in a relaxed manner, free to come and go at will, left to practice their magic at their own discretion>not a templar or seeker in sight>chantry isn't even present to sermon about magic being the root of all evilWhy didn't Anders just move to Nevarra? There's none of Kirkwall's repression there. If anything they're more positive towards mages than even Tevinter is, and there's not even any slavery. It's everything he could have asked for.
>>501728386>>after he overlooked the side effects of putting up the veil in the first placeHe didn't, he fucked up the ritual. It was an error in execution, not planning. >and then overlooked what letting Corypheus get the orb would doAgain, he did not overlook anything because there is no way he could have known Cory knew the body hop immortality trick.Pay the fuck attention and/or learn what the word "overlook" means.
These champion/boss fights spread my cheeks more than story bosses. I know it fucks with the pacing to die to a story boss, but I would enjoy it if they were more legitimately difficult(Playing on Nightmare BTW)
>>501727178The Veil coming down would also have been a far cleaner soft reboot of the setting
>>501728584Ironic considering that Nevarra was also where the First Annulment took place.
>>501727715You're shitting me. They're the most "they're just random fuckers" gods I've ever seen in fiction, like shit Bellara spelt it out for you: Their bickering in the Solas painting visions is no different from any other politicians in the game. >Ghil is not-You're just fucking wrong, because Ghil loves her brother enough to lament their shared ambitions being thwarted with her dying breath. That's a very human emotion. No, they did not portray them as inscrutable at all. Elgar'nan is on a power trip, Solas is neck deep in sunk cost fallacy, and Mythal is a self-righteous bitch who can't take criticism unless it's served up on a silver platter.>>501727563And while I'm seething, I will never not be mad that the Architect was just forgotten about.
>>5017284763 people
>>501728620>He didn't, he fucked up the ritual. It was an error in execution, not planning.>implying the fucked up execution wasn't because he didn't plan things out as well as he should've>there is no way he could have known Cory knew the body hop immortality trick.>there is no way the blighted dark spawn Magister would know the body hop immortality trick all of the big dick dark spawn know
>>501728584>Why didn't Anders just move to Nevarra? There's none of Kirkwall's repression there.He wanted to complain about Kirkwall.
>>501728870Ok
>>501728935>Solas is complete retard that thinks he knows betterpretty sure that's the point
>>501728584You can also apparently just apprentice a mage outside the circles there going by the Mournwatch taking orphan Emmerich in as a kid and raising him
>>501728584If you don’t want to become a spooky mortician forever you’re still fucked. It’s still a chantry thing connected to the circle.
>>501728870>And while I'm seething, I will never not be mad that the Architect was just forgotten aboutStaying hidden until things blow over is the best play desu, regardless of if the Warden ganked him or notNow he's free as a bird to play around with the Blight and Darkspawn with the normies having a hard time reaching him now that the South's been nuked
>>501729068Your boyfriend disagrees with you, by the way. He's the one flat-out telling you that they're not gods, they're spirits who forged themselves into terrible people he had to take down himself. They have no higher motivations, they just enjoy having bodies and flexing them.
>>501729180>wins by just outliving the Warden and all the other major threats to Thedas long after all hope for fixing the Calling has been lostKind of based.
>>501729263k
>>501728584The spirit possession turned him into a "freedom fighter" Had he gotten away from the circle without the blood tracker on him anymore, no Wardenhood and no Justice then he's definitely had run off there or to Tevinter
>>501728476me :(
Thinking about how disastrous it would be if the undead in the necropolis actually did rebel it’s amazing that anyone outside of nevarra has anything bad to say about a watcher rook
>>501728476That one dialogue about Cullen drunkenly bugging Leliana about her Mage Warden gf is very funny desu
>>501728584Fucking spirits, man. Not even once. Even if you want to get away from all the bullshit the spiritniggers WILL Chimp out and force you to face it head-on.Ironically, Spite is probably the most level-headed and reasonably spirit in the entire franchise.
>>501729485Undead are icky
>game flat-out erases warden x morrigan players while everyone is focused on trannies
>>501729485The real question is why nobody has talked about virtuous guardian liches before, seems like the kind of thing that would come up in conversation when the Darkspawn are on the move.
>>501729575Wynne's spirit seemed alright, and Cole while very autistic did shape up with guidance.
>>501729639The South HATE Mages, undead Mages are just a million times worse.
>Spend over an hour fighting 3 progressively harder fade bosses to get their souls to open that secret door>Oh boy I can't wait to see what the Elven gods were hiding in here!>And its a level 50 dragon fightWell that's annoying
>>501729639The rest of the world thinks that the whole undead thing is heretical
>>501729652>Cole while very autistic did shape up with guidance.I was 100% expecting Cole to make an appearance, he was one of the few "people" who could actually understand Solas and convince him to stop.
>>501704075>>501719797So in veilguard you fight the jobber elves because the most dangerous ones are already dead?
>>501729625Just headcanon her and the warden being massively into roleplay
>>501729625Every time you retards post this your crop even more of it
>>501728584Freedom of movement doesn't exist in Thedas. He just couldn't get his visa approved, probably
>tfw going around the map beating whatever quests I can reach in the early game>that motherfucking level 25 Guardian.what the fuck, i'm like level 13the only reason i beat the thing was his AI suddenly breaking on his last 2nd healthbar near the escape point which let me just wail on him for the next 10 minutes
>>501723580if they do a remaster and fix combat pacing and dungeon layout then yes, also if they expand act3 story so it doesnt stay as a rushed mess of an ending arc then i'll say it was the best dragon agebut that will never happen
>>501729921Dude. Just come back to it later.
Short-haired girls.
>random white walls locking off parts of the mapsimmersion breaking
>>501730196Tall enbies
>>501729318>long after all hope for fixing the Calling has been lostThe archdaemons are all dead so there's nothing left to "call" the Wardens.
>Distracted by exploring and Arlathan quests still haven't grabbed Lucanis after DocktownHelp
>>501730268No. Enbys are self-hating women and unattractive.
>>501729843lol basically, yes. They don't even tell us how they died exactly. We can just guess that, since the Evanuris were tied to the Archdemons and killing the dragons made them mortal, everyone except for Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain died because of the Blight (maybe they couldn't adapt to it like the other two could) or killed each other in madness. But I doubt it's the latter, Elgar'nan explicitly says they were "sleeping" and Cole also confirms this in Inquisition ("They sleep, masked in a mirror, and to wake them..."), so it was probably some Blight shenanigans.
>>501730385Remember how elves from all over the continent were going off to join Solas at the end of Trespasser? Veilguard doesn't.
>>501730380Okay but is it reasonable for a man to have survived BEING called in the timeframe from Origins to Veilguard?
>>501730583Solas was just too cringe, even for them
Spite might be the most harmless demon I have ever seen in a video game
>>501730652Yeah, Duncan was a Warden for 20 years.
>>501729843>most dangerous ones are already dead?>no insane Andruil destroying everything on her path>no vain, ire-prone Falon'din >no clever, cold June using his eluvians to blight everyone like in Mahariel's origin>no Dirthamen making people go mad with muteness and secrets piling in their minds>no Sylaise causing buildings and cities to crumble down
>>501730814He's doing it out of Spite
>>501730652The first warden has almost certainly been a warden longer than the HoF unless it’s supposed to be a different one
>>501730825wasnt he close to the calling at that point thoughi think alistair could be alive in veilguard but eh
>>501730857Better than ME where they gave you unbeatable gods and it fucked the whole franchise because they couldn’t think of a believable way to stop them
>>501731090I think 30 years is meant to be the max
>>501730857>no clever, cold June using his eluvians to blight everyone like in Mahariel's originOh fuck, I didn't think about that. Don't you also find Falon'din's statues in that place, confirming it was an elven temple? If all the Evanuris were using the blight, it makes sense for some of their eluvians to be blighted, too, they could have actually used it as a weapon against Solas, since his whole rebellion only worked thanks to the Vir'Revas. Pity we'll never see how they acted/more of their war.
>>501731090Possibly, but that still means you can last at least that long before getting called and with the dragons dead, the Warden, Alistair etc are homefree
>>501730857No sexo Urthemiel...I don't know which elf is behind her
>>501730857I don't even know who those people are.
>>501730857>no insane Andruil destroying everything on her pathWe were never getting her as a boss desu what with the Sera/Andruil setup
>>501730251Better than fighting in the same cave 100 times in DA2
Here me out.DAO remake or DA reboot setting up the executors as the main baddies for a new mass effect style trilogy.
>>501731497I think the worst part was how the enemies just jump from below the solid rock floor. Otherwise DA2 combat had some fun in it to be had. Also jesus some enemies were just sponges.
>>501731341Maybe Sylaise, since she is the Evanuris who built the empire's marvels. What does this make Kieran, then? If he was born with the Old God's soul, does that mean he's semi-possessed by an Evanuris? Is that why Flemythal took it from him? For what reason? I guess we will never know what they originally had in mind.
>Thick Qunari warriors cheeked out all throughout TrevisoI fail to see how this is a problem
>>501730580Maybe it really is just like Voldemort. You kill the dragon/horcrux he dies too.
>>501731350HOLY KINO
>>501731656>>501731341I assumed Urthemiel was Mythals horcrux
Why are these in hallelujah? Theorize.
>>501731927that makes the dark ritual pretty funny in retrospect all that hints you were doing something evil and your just getting grandmas soul back
>>501731927Mythal didn't have a dragon as a weapon, she could become one
>it's widely understood that Archdemons are Tevinter's Old Gods corrupted by the Blight>the predominant narrative behind the Blight is that it originated from the Maker's palace>when Weisshaupt is besieged by an Archdemon the First Warden is told that the enemy is a god>he says gods aren't realThe First Warden is clearly the smartest person around. The Team had to be personally confronted with the evidence that all religion was bullcrap. This guy figured it out all by himself. He should be on The Team.
The blights are the most interesting part of DA lore to me. The fact that first one lasted for nearly 200 years and second lasted for 90. Is quite something.Shame the setting kinda shat the bed.
>>501731768Why did Solas get so angry when the Wardens want to kill them all in Inquisition? The Veil would have fallen more easily with the Evanuris becoming mortal, or hell, it would have fallen by itself if they died one after the other.
>>501732295Because he is retarded. And bald.
>>501732295Corypheus still had his orb and he didn't have god powers yet, so the black city/blight prison would be wide open for cory
>>501732198DAO killed the hype of Blights what with the Warden and his crew soloing one with just a civil war ridden Ferelden before it could even really do anything
>>501732552It’s a lot easier when you actually know how to stop one
>>501732198>The blights are the most interesting part of DA lore to meI'd like if you could explain in detail what about them interests you.
>>501731631>DAO remake0% chance of it being good with current BioWare >or DA reboot setting up the executors as the main baddies for a new mass effect style trilogy.Absolutely disgusting and vomit inducing. There's no way out anon, just accept it. This is the end.
Necrotic focused specializations seem dumb because the majority of the enemies you'll fight in this game are resistant to it.
>>501730857When you put it like that, it sounds like Elgar'nan was just a retarded pompous figurehead they allowed to pretend to be in charge, and over time he just kind of bought his own hype while the other went crazy from Blight
>>501732552It was in it's infancy. Urthemiel played her cards too early. First Blight could munch on Dwarf Empire and get loads of broodmothers that way. Besides there was that whole that Darkspawn were getting weaker overtime not to mention people know how to fight them.>>501732708Darkspawn are spooky and more threatening than demons or Qunari. Lifetimes of warfare, also both Dwarf and Tevinter empire were at their apex yet both were crippled by them. Reminds me of fall of Arnor and stories like that are cool to me.
>>501731341June, I think. God of craftsmen. It would make sense since Urthemiel's high priest was titled "Architect".
>>501732769I enjoyed veilguard a lot so I still believe in bioware magic.
>>501732887Solas kind of says as much. He calls him the worst but then admits it's mostly because he offended his sensibilities the most. Because he's all about brutal tyranny for the sake of it. Yeah he's a shallow retard compared to the others
>>501732838There’s stuff that lets you bypass resistances. Mage runs into that problem no matter what you play.
>tfw your childhood friends die/get Wardened and disappear from your life forever>your mentor/mother figure goes on to jew the everliving fuck out of you then get herself, and possibly the whole clan killed instead of just fucking off like the Dalish normally do, especially when you had already cut ties and moved to Kirkwall >then your Hawke bf goes and jumps into the Fade during the apocalypse and never comes back>now Varric is dead trying to stop another apocalypse, only for your gods to come back from the dead and Blight everything being Merrill is suffering
>>501733108I hope you get to curate your taste in the future, pleb-kun
>>501732838>majority of the enemiesyou know that would explain a lot why my warrior rook feels like pretty weak outside detonations and stagger attacks
>>501728214>find something that he overlookedI would say his insistence on him knowing whats best would blind him to things. Part of the benefit of working with a team is having outside eyes, ideas, and experiences you may not see yourself. Solas is biased by his own righteousness. Felassan was nervous about what he was planning with the dagger and then he somehow messed up the ritual. Of course we're not likely going to find out how or why.>so many things about him in Inquisiton cast in a new lightLike some of the things he talked to Cole about and his companion quest.>>501732295Solas wanted to bring the Veil down but that was only part of his whole plan. He had to deal with the fallout and deal with the Evanuris' weakening prison. If I had to guess, if killing the old gods lead to the death of the imprisoned Evanuris assuming Elgar'nan and Ghil also fell to the blight without their dragons and the Veil failed it might just unleash all the blight or demons prematurely. Maybe the dragons are part of what helped them resist the blight for so long. As he said he doesnt want people to suffer.The veil is one thing but I assumed the prison is another. He would need a way to remove the veil while keeping the prison intact since thats where the blighted Evanuris are, unless he planned to unleash the blight and deal with it somehow. I honestly don't remember, I tabbed through that conversation.
>romance cass>she climbs on the inquisitor nakedman, even inquisition has better romances than veilguard.
Mating pressing Marjolaine while Leliana watches.
>>501733397>I would say his insistence on him knowing whats best would blind him to thingsYes I thought it would be kino if we somehow found the answer he never could due to not having Solas' fatal flaw of being unable to trust others. But that was pretty implausible anyway. Like I said I love the Mythal ending.
>>501731309i want to believe...
>>501732838Just negate the resistance somehow.
>>501731090Alistair says in one his dialogues that Duncan was starting to hear the calling.He was nearing his end.
So if Varric is dead, why does everyone during the meeting wait until the hallucination in Rook's head stops talking?
>>501733137>Varric became the Viscount of Kirkwall and a key member of the Inquisition>Aveline became Captain of the Kirkwall City Guard and later Acting Viscount>Isabela became the leader of the Lords of Fortune>Sebastian became the Prince of Starkhaven, eventually the last great city of the Free Marches>Anders left his mark on history as the instigator of the Mage-Templar War, which would set the stage for the creation of the Inquisition and later the Antaam conquestsMerrill and Fenris are absolute deadbeats. Everyone else made something of themselves and climbed their way up in the world. But the elves remain useless hobos and never even tried to be more than that.
>>501734148The were just pausing for dramatic effect.
>>501734148there was no pause at all in realityonly in rook's mind
>>501729781The concept art book shows that was meant to be the case, actually.
>>501734148Never trust a schizo
Where’s that one armor with the tits out
Still tickled knowing Solas read the smutfic novel about the Inquisition
>>501734052It's okay. Don't worry Alistair is alive HE'S ALIVE. He's okay.
>>501731341>>501733012There's a codex entry about just that.>A note in Bellara's handwriting:>Nine elven gods, seven Tevinter gods. Lines up, because Mythal was murdered before Arlathan's destruction and Fen'Harel is... Fen'Harel.>We're pretty sure about:>- Elgar'nan (day, night, the sun, tyranny, lordship, fatherhood, vengeance—he just wants all the words, doesn't he?) = Lusacan, Dragon of Night>- Ghilan'nain (halla, navigation, monsters) = Razikale, Dragon of Mystery>- Sylaise (fire, the hearth, home) = Toth, Dragon of Fire>- June (craft, invention) = Urthemiel, Dragon of Beauty>We're still arguing about:>- Dirthamen (secrets) = Dumat, Dragon of Silence (secrets, silence... makes sense?)>- Falon'Din (death) = Zazikel, Dragon of Chaos (Death causes chaos? Chaos causes death?)>- Andruil (the hunt) = Andoral, Dragon of Slaves ("Andruil" and "Andoral" sound alike?)>Added in Neve's handwriting:>If it helps, Dumat liked toads. Did Dirthamen?
>>501728214>I also kinda wanted the Veil to come down though.I'm perma seething about that. If they wanted a clean slate by not use the plot device they themselves were foreshadowing since DAO? Haha nope, better to kill everyone off screen and shoehorn the Illuminati, enjoy your slop.>Anyway I always thought that there would be no way for Rook or the Inquisitor to just convince him to stop ir change his mind. I wanted to convince him to stop messing with reality already as he fucks up every time. I wanted him to trust modern elves to figure things out for themselves after knowing the truth about the veil and their gods. I wanted him to give them a chance to bring down the veil without his help. So, pretty much reach the same state Felassan did.>It makes so many things about him in Inquisiton cast in a new light and make so much more sense.Yes, it wraps up nicely. This is clearly a plot point that was done years in advance by the actual competent writers. His autism about freedom and spirit binding makes total sense as he's been assblasted for the most of his flesh life about being bound and manipulated by Mythal.

>>501735258I found one memento that says so but that's all
>>501735312No, Randy Dowager is Genetivi
>>501735312It's unironically brother Genitivi writing smut under a pseudonym.
>>501735512Hope he's doing fine. Did he make an appearance or any notes about him in Inquisition?
>>501735603He's probably dead with the rest of the south anon :)))He appeared in the short story book, tevinter nights.

nigga is the calling cured or NOT?
>>501736006Maybe.
>>501736006There's nothing left calling, but the darkspawn blood is still there
>>501736130ughhh. i must cope.
>>501691336>The only companion for (you) is the most “traditionally attractive feminine love interest” of the groupWhat did Bioware mean by this?
>>501736006Sure, it will be cured. The wardens will stop forcefully conscripting criminal scum. They will be able to sire children and be happy, in fact, they will stop focusing on darkspawn so much and become monster hunters instead to help the non privileged common folk from an intersectional perspective.
>>501735106>I wanted to convince him to stop messing with reality already as he fucks up every time. I wanted him to trust modern elves to figure things out for themselves after knowing the truth about the veil and their gods. I wanted him to give them a chance to bring down the veil without his help. So, pretty much reach the same state Felassan did.I think this isn't a good ending because it's just too easy and doesn't make sense to me because Solas is intelligent and empathetic. He is not unaware or in denial about the suffering he caused and continues to cause. If his mind could have been changed by logic or emotional appeals to those good parts of his nature, it would have already. His resolve is so much stronger than that (for reasons that we learn in this game) so I think just being able to break it through rather conventional means of talking and "making him see" would have been very unsatisfying because there would be no good reason for you to succeed in doing that when he had just killed his best and most loyal friend for daring to sway from the cause relatively recently.
>>501736420>most “traditionally attractive feminine love interest”That's NeveTattoos are very untraditional
>>501736420Asian Elf GFs for everyone
Alistair personally impregnated every warden to cure the calling
>>501736620He can't even impregnate his wife!
>>501736582Oh and Felassan didn't even bother trying to change his mind because he knew it was impossible too.
>>501736670Anora was pretty barren
>>501735106>If they wanted a clean slate by not use the plot device they themselves were foreshadowing since DAO?>"WHEN HE RISES THEY WILL ALL SEE">final quest name The Dread Wolf Risesactually jk lolololyeah man they should have had one more ending and actually go for it it's the final fucking game come on

>dead things are unaffected by the blightMaybe someone should have told the wardens of adamant fortress that before they went all in on summoning demons.
>>501737180Maric's seed is blessed and cures blight
>>501736582>I think this isn't a good ending because it's just too easy and doesn't make sense to me because Solas is intelligent and empathetic.

It's not the same at all. I do understand that he needed the release from Mythal and it's not bad writing wise, but him mustering up the mental resolve to let go and just let other people handle things feels more poetic for me. It's a big deal for a prideful fucker like him to remove himself from the situation.
>Alistair and Morrigan may be half siblingsMan, the Dark Ritual just got a lot funnier
>>501737282Cailan is Loghains son.
>>501737424Oh that explains why Kieran is... Like that
I like Loghain but I have never betrayed Alistair just to get him.
>have blight curing cum>they hook you up to the blood magic torture device instead of the magic cock milker
>>501737403My point is that if he could simply "muster up the mental resolve" to stop he would have already because he actually did want to stop and still chose not to.>>501737689God I wish. Rowan was his true love.
>>501737424the devs said they arent
i think western gaming will never be as good as a couple gens ago since current western academia follows the post-modern notion that language dictates reality, straying away from materialism and delving into idealism, considering the commodified education we have that only guides individuals to attend market demands, such idealism becomes fragmented and vulgar, those individuals dont understand the systems they live in and how they connect into society as a whole, their perception of the world becomes individualised and they judge themselves and each other on superficial moral values.why think all this for a fucking post? to find a sensible explanation of how modern writers dont know how to make imersive fantasy since they dont understand art can be separated from the material world, being unable to exercise their artistic freedom because they think their words reflect on reality, maybe thats why the writers used modern terms to add gender discourse into the game instead of making diegetic(aka in-universe) terms.i find it a missguided atempt to use capitalism to lecture consumers on current day issues, if they put more effort to add gender discourse in a immersive way it would not only be more effective, it would age better since language can always change on current day topics, also using someone boorish as Taash only makes it look condescending
I recommend everyone read Tevinter Nights there's some really fun stories in it and it definitely felt rewarding playing Veilguard having read it
>>501738574It has lost the ability to tell stories that can educate through fantasy narrative, or inventive in general. Now writers are concerned with being as explicit as possible, both for fear that they will be misunderstood in the eyes of the general public by ridiculing them, and because there is great distrust in others and everything must be presented in the most explicit, less confusing way possible.When writers begin to have personal experiences worthy of being put on paper, and when the public begins to be less critical for the sake of giving instant opinions on first impressions, we will have better media.For now the question is simply this.
>>501738592It’s so funny how fucking heavy handed the exposition is in the first like 8 hours to try to cater to people jumping in here even though a huge part of the game’s lore is impenetrable to newfags who haven’t played all the games and read the books
I finished pirated DATV and I enjoyed enough to decide buy it tomorrow, to get all the achievements.
>>501734191elves are good at being poor
>>501738985One thing that kept blowing my mind is how if this is the only Dragon Age game you've ever played you would never know that the Qun is evil and a fucking cult
>>501739290SEX WITH MY WIFE NEVE
>>501739334>>501738985Veilguard is my first game and I can't understand a single thingwhich is immrsive since I'm playing as a veiljumper and it has come to my understanding that is the most recent faction and so it makes sense that my character is a elf lorelet who's been living inna woods all his life
>>501739485The reason people have remained caring about Dragon Age for 20 years is down to the lore and worldbuilding. The fact that this game caters so much to newfags is so tragic. It's so fucking gimped compared to what it could have been.

If you insist on buying it wait for a sale.
>>501739606Veilguard is virtually the same product as TW3: the last episode of an epic saga that attracted many fans for its mature writing, rich and intriguing lore, and well-written characters.A lot of people I remember having the same problem when they played TW3, but in that case the characters were not radically changed between the various chapters, and also the writing and the plot in this case is much better.Anyway, not knowing anything about Dragon Age, I feel like I will play the old games to understand better the plot because it is very interesting. I especially love the locations, the exploration: it is a well-created fantasy world, far from some genre clichés
>>501738079>My point is that if he could simply "muster up the mental resolve" to stop he would have already because he actually did want to stop and still chose not to.I don't think he had that much of a chance until now. The timeline went roughly like>spirit solas chilling>Mythal binds him>Titan war>dagger, titans fucked, solas triggered>Mythal&co go from generals to kings to gods, solas assblasting increases>elvhenan under evanuris escalates, solas can't take it anymore and rebels>centuries of rebellion >they start tapping into the blight>solas talks to Mythal, she gets assassinated>assblasting reaches nuclear levels, veil happens>Nap time>Felassan gets killed (was solas even awake yet?)>[Inquisition]When he waked he was clearly still in the worst possible state of mind. He really needed to stop and reflect, but he did not because he was horrified by the veil effects and hyper focused in fixing them. Inquisition time really forced him to pause and consider, and actually see the current thedas for what it was. That is a huge difference, he himself admits this fact and it could have been used as a narrative path for him.
>>501739968>Which is true?Yeahhh I need someone to explain this retcon to me.>>501740478>>Felassan gets killed (was solas even awake yet?)Bruh
>>501740623>>501739968Wait is this why they did that thing about the 2 shards of her and how and why they would have different personalities based on their lived experiences. So the Flemeth version of Mythal makes more sense to say what she says to Solas in VG but it's clearly bullshit because she did not have that attitude in Inquisition and was still Flemythal
Does any merchant sell any better looking casualware for the lighthouse?
>>501740969Yes the faction merchs, but you need to have high ranking with them
>>501740623>Bruhit's not clear to me since Felassan gets killed IN the fade and the exact time lapse between masked empire and DAI is not clear either. It's never established how much agency/presence Solas had while napping for millennia. The logical conclusion is that he wasn't "present" at all but then again he's a dreamer that can do a great deal of things without being physically in the material world
>>501740969>not wearing casual armour
>>501741296Let me clear it up for you. >"His friend had to die. Because he thought they were people. A slow arrow breaks in the sad wolf's jaws."
I guess he finally took a stance on Anders lol.
>>501740910Well no that doesnt make sense. The angry shard in dagger and and the mommy shard in Morrigan are different yes, but the event is still the same. One version was shown to us in real time and the other as a memory of said event. The only legit explanation I've been able to come up for the difference is his memory being biased from what actually happened but it's not elaborated on and makes his other regrets unreliable. Which fits in tune with the story but is shitty storytelling consider we have no sources to reference otherwise.>>501741296I didnt read masked empire but Solas can kill people irl from the fade
>>501741409I don't see how that clarifies anything. Are you implying solas can't kill other people in the fade while dreaming himself?
>>501741680Why would you say Felassan "GETS KILLED" instead of that Solas killed him on purpose? It doesn't matter if he was "awake" or not his plans were in motion and he had people carrying them out for him.
Which Origin is the most interesting for a female Warden playthrough?
>>501741857dwarf
>Lucanis was supposed to be THE sweaty hot romance for women>Lucanis and Neve flirt hotter and heavier with each other than with RookThis whole fucking game is a lie.
>>501741958Lucanis is so boring lol what is she talking about. I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt and guess they ruined him after she got sacked
>>501741958So he was meant to be Zevran?
>>501741829>It doesn't matter if he was "awake" or not his plans were in motion and he had people carrying them out for him.It does matter because if he was always active from the Fade WHY the fuck would he wait for fucking MILLENNIA to make a move to fix the veil situation? That makes zero sense, what the fuck
>>501741296>it's not clearI'm sorry, anon, but Solas definitely killed Felassan, all because he refused to give him the passcode for the eluvian network. Solas was already awake (The Masked Empire should be set six months before Inquisition, and Solas tells the Inquisitor he woke up one year before the events of the game) and waited for Felassan to complete his mission and give him the code. When he didn't, he killed him in his sleep, something a powerful Dreamer like Solas can easily do.Felassan basically went through what Solas later will in Inquisition: live in the new world, make friends, witness the modern elves' tenacity and realize everyone is actually a person, even though they are severed from the Fade. That's why one of the revenants you fight in Veilguard is called "Betrayal of Felassan": not because Felassan betrayed Solas, but the opposite. Solas realized he had betrayed his friend for nothing, because he was actually right.>"His back, turned."He even killed him from behind - he was ruthless before Inquisition. But keep in mind that this version of Solas was still very rough, and Gaider had not asked Weekes to make him kinder yet. That's why all the stories about the Dread Wolf that Felassan and Briala share paint him under a very wicked light, while he's definitely more sympathetic and gentler as a character in Inquisition.
>>501742102Speaking of him. Did he have a mention in this game or Inquisition?
>>501742186This takes place right before Inquisition where he tells you he had been awake for a year. I don't get why you're so hung up on this point
>>501742227Anon, I know Solas killed him and why. I wasn't trying to cast any doubt about that, sorry that I came out that way.

>>501742590No way. Is this a shoop?
>>501742590Can you be gay and homophobic?
>>501742393In Inquisition theres a table mission for him if he's not romanced to help his fight against the Crows. If he is romanced you find out he and the warden are travelling together which I seem to remember makes him the only LI that sticks around>Part of me wishes that I could help your Inquisition more personally because the danger of Corypheus and the Breach approaches the threat of even another Blight. Regardless, Zevran and I have our own battles to fight, and I can only offer my confidence that you have matters well in hand.>https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Codex_entry:_A_Letter_from_the_Hero_of_Ferelden
>>501742689I was interested in him, but I might actually go for Davrin. Neve flirted with Lucanis right off the bat in the Ossuary.
>>501742794That's kinda neat. Well considering how the last time he opened his heart ended out no wonder he is sticking around.
>>501742186It's implied he was extremely weak after his ritual to create the Veil went wrong. He entered uthenera, and had to watch the world change and evolve through the Fade, but we don't even know if there was a time during which he was just completely unconscious, not even dreaming/exploring the Fade. It's not impossible, since the first ritual clearly took everything out of him, so much he was forced to look for another way to open his own foci. That would explain why it took him so long to actually do something - he probably also had to find and reawaken the majority of his agents, Felassan included (and you can find Felassan's note in the Lighthouse, wondering what the hell happened and where Solas is)
>>501742805Davrin and Emmrich are said to be the better romances, its very funny.
>>501742410> I don't get why you're so hung up on this pointIt makes me wonder what he did in the fade while napping for thousands of years and how does that work. Uthenera elves are supposed to explore the fade and acquire knowledge so that implies some degree of self consciousness. Was he oblivious of the veil while in the fade, or did he knew? What made him wake up at that exact point in the timeline?
lmao fuck them all
>>501742934>his own fociSpeaking of the orbs, they also forgot to tell us what these were. Titans' hearts? Balls of lyrium?
>>501742558>and rejects my advances>He doesn't know
>>501743027I don't think he could be oblivious because he clearly knew the ritual went wrong. Maybe unaware of the details of the direct aftermath but he surely would have learned while dreaming and exploring the Fade afterwards. I guess he woke up when he did because he had regained enough power to? Maybe it had something to do with the dagger being discovered.
>>501743174What I always wanted in my DA
>>501742934I'm pretty sure he did not reawaken felassan (unless he did it while asleep himself) because Felassan had been Briala's mentor for years at that point.
>>501742997What is Davrin's romance like?

I dunno what to do with myself now. I kind of want to replay it again immediately. I need to get the achievements I missed due to the bug and try to get 100% of the codex filled out but I know it's too soon and I'll have a better experience replaying after I reflect more.

>>501744901>roleplayinglol
>>501744901wild that you want to replay it. I'm barely dragging myself through just for the Solas crumbs. He's hot as fuck and his content is the most enjoyable but I don't think it compensates the awful writing and numerous piles of shit taken over existing lore.
>>501740148hey that's my collage
>>501745290I don't see it as Solas crumbs. To me this game is the Solas cake and Rook and the companions are crumbs.
>>501744821ME2 is only good because it cashes the check that all of ME1's worldbuilding wrote. I also prefer ME2 because it's character study vignettes rather than a space opera. Space operas are good such as the TV show ME sprung from (babylon 5) but they require very tight writing and an auteur's vision which is hard in the video game industry
>>501745475>>501745290The fact that I know I might have missed codex entries that are about or reveal more information about him is reason enough for me to want to replay it. I'm obsessed with him.
>>501745475Almost all of it are codex entries. I wish some deranged solasister would make an autistic extensive compilation that I could revisit in the future so I don't need to boot up DAV ever again once I finish it.
