Corypheus did nothing wrong
He and his fellow magisters were tricked by some elves to try and reach the Golden City
Instead they just allowed the blight to trickle into the world

Jesus, I want to play Mage but it's such a miserable experience in comparison to Warrior if you aren't spellblade.

Compare that to a warrior who has insane passive rage generation and the bunch of 50 rage abilities you pretty much spam.

i don't care about sex scenes, it's just really weird that writers are bound to write fuckable characters for players.

It's nice that he was actually doing something with his life before the games started.

RPGs have to focus on player character. Whenever NPC focuses on another NPC esp romantically, this is getting weird.

I think the absolute funniest response to veilguard are the solaswives who are absolutely seething that rook can be mean to him and also that they somehow didn't get enough content and I can't get enough of it
>>
>>502665795
>RPGs have to focus on player character.
RPGs that have poor writing.


And I don't get the Lucanis hags... in BG3 party members flat out talk about fucking each other and other people not in the party while you're trying to romance them and didn't hear as nearly much complaints.

in the blood of arlathan quest, i love that neve and the player character (if they are a mage) give a boost to bellara's spell to break elgarnan's control over them.

Honestly I think it was just a case of people who went into the game expecting that he was going to be like zevran and instead they got a manlet househusband who isn't very flirty.
I'm not even sure where people were seeing Neve and him constantly flirting.

I have no idea why DA out of all things would make you feel that way.
Replaying the series was like watching an old friend slowly become a heroin edict.
I am playing a pirated a copy of Failguard and simmering with hatred how abyssmal the writing is.
Its like VA took the absolute worst parts of DA and Pissquisition and mashed them together.
All I wanted was a good Dragon Age game like DA1.

The whole "well we failed because ypu didnt do our sidequests and fix our daddy-issues for us"-thing after Weisshaupt was just fucking surreal.

I actually do think the bones of her arc are pretty solid but they're trying to do too much with it. It would've been SO EASY to tie the gender stuff into her mom's delusional attempt to continue to adhere to the culture she escaped from but instead it's shoved in the middle of her arc like an after school special and it doesn't even resonate with the very binary choice between her cultures you get at the end.

I like that this banter demonstrates that it really isn't a big deal for Taash that people might get things wrong or be confused so the writers just made the choice to make Isabela the kind of really annoying person who has to do some big preformative gesture that makes it all about herself.

The writing maybe. There was a part early on where Neve and Bellara were talking that felt very modern, idk how to explain it. Took me out. But mostly Rook. Maybe it's just the culmination of Rook's constant grin, the jokey but safe dialogue, the goofy hands on hip pose. Buffy was a show for teens though and this writing kinda feels like a game for teens.

Thing is the driving force for me watching Buffy was Spike and the hate/hate relationship he has with Buffy that turns into love/hate and eventually love/love. Which half paid off through the last couple of seasons as we saw him grow as a character and then the eventual series finale. The driving force for me in this game is seeing how Solas' plans played out, how he came to be as a character, how the team moved to stop him, and how his story ended. Everything other than that I would've considered bonus. And that less than paid off.

I'd say that the game companions are definitely more likeable than Xander and Willow though. Both Buffy and Rook have some crap friends. If Rook is everybody's therapist who is Rook's?
>>
>>502662596

>>502671198
Thats the worst part about this game.
Everywhere there is like an inkling of a good concept but the inept fanfiction.net-tier writiers managed to fuck up every single one.
Every single time you go "oh hey that might be interesting" only to be disappointed by the most inane fucking writing imaginable.

It is written as an annoying educational ad inserted into the middle of the game and looks like that exactly.

>>
Am I the only one who feels that the origin of the Blight is extremely disappointing? The Titans being defeated through making them tranquil is kind of interesting, though it being done through that shitty dagger is bad, but their removed emotions and stuff becoming the Blight feels unsatisfying to me.

Honestly it feels like it was originally going to be from the Void based on that short story anthology and old codex entries from past games the but Veilguard devs decided against it.
>>
>>502672149
He was dead the whole time. Only ever said things Rook already knew. Wouldn't that mean Rook was Rook's therapist.
>>
>>502672012
I feel like that Whedon style writing really needs stuff like that episode where Buffy's mom dies to ground it too. We kinda get that a bit with Rook but we needed more time spent on it.

>>
>>502671198
Taash is a sum of the wrong parts.
I personally have a problem with her look.
Narratively it would be better if she looked feminine maxed (within Qunari potential) so her feeling as a masculine person had bigger contrast and thus conflict between look and feel.
But she looks like an ugly male with feminine facial features barely visible, and that undermines the conflict of her biology and her feel.
I don't know why did they decide to go with ftm yet made her look like a man. It makes her more like those women who are so ugly they decide to troon out.
Not a good way to send the message in game.
>>
>>502672307
Yeah. Where it's really obvious that shes just a girl who needs her mom underneath the superhero persona.

>>502672452
I feel like that would have to wear them down eventually. It gets tiring always being needed and not needing others.

Rook isn't real. Varric just had a psychotic break and now thinks he's a female elf mage.

It's the reapers all over again. Things are more interesting when they're mysterious and then when there's an explanation it's dull. I hate how yet again it's another "it's all the elves fault" which reduces the lore and makes it boring. Like you, I thought the blight was something dark from the void it was talked about. It then could've been made worse by the tranquilising of the titans which corrupted it into what it is now. This void then could've been leaning into what the Evanrius were fearing but instead we got dwarf nightmares but evil.

>>502672273
No you are not the only one.
And I feel pretty much the same about literally every "twist" this game introduces.
It becomes like a parody of itself if you - like me - didnt bother with any of the "Solas Regrets" until the late game and then do them in a row.
It becomes like a fucking brazilian telenovela with the supposedly dramatic twists about the metaphysics of the setting that it actually made me laugh out loud.
All it needed was a dramatic que by a pipe-organ each time.

i see we have those kind of sex negative zoomers who will defend the sanitized and sterile state of veilguard's romances, do us a favor and at least go back to mass effect and do the garrus storyline, or any other larian/owlcat games, doesnt take a genius to realise dav is at the lowest of a bioware tradition

My disappointment is impossible to put into words.
I also think that Neve is a worse character than trash.
Trash is a disneyadult acting like a retarded teenager.
Neve is a self-rightous murder-mystery wineaunt.
Notice also Trash never talks about gendershit until Neve and the Shadowtrannies groom her during a strugglesession.

He hinted at management wanting to make the games dumber and dumber to appeal to a wider audience, especially during/after Inquisition. He refused and decided to leave, and years later they fired other promiment writers because they wouldn't accept their terms (also monetary, Gaider said there had been budget cuts, too).

Laidlaw left, too, but was hired back as a consultant when modern BW realized they didn't know shit about how Veilguard was supposed to work, while Gamble was asked to focus on DA before the new ME, with Epler being the only "original" DA dev left in the team. That's why he was the only one who recognized Zevran during an interview, while the other new devs couldn't - you should have seen his face, he looked ready to cry or kill someone.

The use of vocabulary in Veilguard is terrible. Sometimes the characters sound like protagonists out of a YA novel, and the gap between this game and the previous ones is even more evident when you hear Solas or Morrigan talk, followed by Rook's or a companion's remarks. I'm not saying Origins, DA2 or DAI were literary masterpieces, but there clearly was someone who knew some basic English behind their dialogues and lines. Veilguard is full of people who can't put two basic sentences together.

I think wisps are an evolutionary step behind spirits. Emmrich says Manfred will become smarter and stronger the more experience and guidance he gets, so he'll probably evolve from simple wisp of Curiosity into a full fledged spirit of Curiosity.

Solas probably went through something similar - studying and admiring ancient dwarves, Titans, and nature from the Fade until he became fully aware and powerful and wishing to spread all the knowledge he had accumulated

You are correct. In fact, this is exactly what makes necromancy morally "correct", wisps aren't exactly spirits or 'people', hence they cannot be considered truly alive, and that allows necros not to feel guilty of anything that might happen to a wisp because of their magic

Well, yes, I agree with you, but I understand why Solas throws a sissy fit every time Dorian or another character throws spirits and wisps under the bus. For him, they are on the same level, all worthy of respect (in fact, he refers to Manfred as a "spirit of curiosity" if you have Emmrich in your team before the final battle). Since they are just spirits not yet fully formed, they are all equal and part of the original "race" he came from - it'd be like a person not defending babies because they aren't adult humans yet.

It's ambiguous. Dorian isn't a trve mortalitasi, he's just a fanboy that has no respect for the spirits and the rites. If you keep Manfred, Solas, in dialogue with Emmrich, says that spirits love and respect him, and he himself is very reverent towards him. I'd say Mourn Watcher necromancy is similar to Fade Rift magic in DAI.

It's heavily implied orbs were made out of Titans' hearts, but that's it, Veilguard completely forgets about the subject. It actually looks like all the Evanuris had their own dagger once upon a time (there is a cutscene "mural" implying this, and the Caretaker says "You carry the Wolf's fang"), but now only Solas' remains. It'd make sense if they fought using an orb and a dagger like >>502694976 said, and it would also confirm Solas rushes into battle without thinking, because he's used to close combat, something Blackwall can scolds him for if he falls in battle in Inquisition ("Solas, I told you to stand back!")

Wasn't there a short story or codex entry about a young Cassandra visiting the Necropolis to "meet" the old Kings of Nevarra, as it was customary for Nevarran nobles, and she sees one of them richly dressed, but basically used as a museum prop, gazing at her, terribly sad and resigned? I don't doubt the Mourn Watch cares for spirits, but it was heavily implied they were also using them to build their prestige and keep getting funds - it's basically a cult revolving around funerary rites, and it's a shame Bioware also sanitized it, together with many other concepts introduced in past games.

Yeah, they were probably supposed to be part of Solas' army, together with the younger generation of elves fleeing their masters and jobs to join him in his new rebellion. Even Abelas and his sentinels, if left alive, would have been great to see again, because they would actually have all the reasons to see their world restored and their master avenged, and it looked like that was the direction they were going for, with Solas telling Abelas there were "other duties" and "elves such as I" waiting for them.

Emmrich and Lucanis touch on it a little in their banter. The Grand Necropolis basically encapsulates the bulk of Nevarra's national economy. The whole kingdom's prosperity is essentially married to running a giant theme park with an Addams Family aesthetic. the entire country of Nevarra is like Orlando, Florida if every day of the year was Halloween.

I was so confused when that Dalish elf in the VeilJumpers camp told Morrigan she didn't trust her because of her being friends with the Dread Wolf. Since when they are friends? Just because Morrigan now has Mythal's memories? How do the Dalish even know they are friends, then?

I waited many years both for DD2 and Veilguard, and I have to say DD2's ending with your main pawn thanking you and sacrificing themselves for you hit me more than Veilguard's ending ever could. DD2 was a mess, yes, but I had lots of fun running around with my pawns, solving quests with them, exploring the world and making enemies explode. Veilguard only made me feel very sad, because it's clearly a game cobbled together from different corpse pieces, all the previous lore forgotten (or rewritten due to the Executors being the Illuminati behind everything).

>>502705898
Heh, more or less, but at least past games offered you different points of view into the matter. In DAO we had only Sten as an example, while DA2 showed us the good and bad side of the Qunari, how it actually helped people find themselves and reach happiness or escape from slavery, while also being merciless with those who didn't share their views. Same in Inquisition, with Bull chafing under some rules, but believing the Qun to be a good thing for many people, his friend Gatt saying the Qunari saved his life and gave him purpose, while Solas sees it as a prison, as chains that stop someone from flourishing as they wish ("A farmer can't hope to be a poet under the Qun" banter). You were given the chance to form your own opinion on the matter.

In Veilguard we have the Antaam (all bad), the Butcher (with whom Rook can't sympathize), Taash's mother (very strict, clearly depicted as a figure Taash should respect, but not follow, because her ideas are outdated), the frail Qunari seamaster who was traumatized by the Antaam, a random Qunari dude in the Shadow Dragons hideout aaaand... that's it, the Qun is bad and they are even following the gods, so go kill some horned guys.

The whole point of Trespasser's ending showing the Inquisitor stab Tevinter and say "We find people he doesn't know" was to form a group of professionals Solas had never worked with before, so that he couldn't anticipate their moves.

Instead we got Varric and Harding, two people Solas knew very well, hiring Rook, who's already famous in their field, automatically prompting Solas into digging up info about them: he tells you this during a Fade conversation, making the whole "people he doesn't know" premise completely useless.

Lucanis isn't really a god-killer, just a mage one, so even if the Evanuris are powerful mages, it doesn't make sense to put the entire weight of the mission on him, especially when Rook can say the Evanuris aren't "simple mages" like those Neve is used to.

Taash is a random nobody from Rivain with a good knowledge of normal dragons, but she herself says she has no idea how to fight blighted dragons. Also for some reason we went to Rivain instead of Nevarra, a country famous for her strong dragon hunters.

Davrin, Bellara, and Emmrich make a bit more sense, even though Bellara just offers some random mythological info about the gods and fixes an eluvian once; Davrin doesn't really have a solution for the new Blight; Emmrich forges the fake blade at the end, but that's it. Neve and Harding are in the team because they witnessed Varric's death and have a personal reason to fight, but even then, why should Neve care about a dwarf she doesn't know well who just hired her for a job?

Deserved. They did a serviceable (not perfect) job with my husband and I enjoyed that, but the rest of the game is not Dragon Age and deserves all the criticism it gets.

>Deserved. They did a serviceable (not perfect) job with my husband
the thing that drives me mad is how no one ever raises the possibility that Solas goals are legitimate and worth fighting for even if his methods are not. Having two(2) elf companions behaving like mouth breathing retards that want to fucking get old and die is mind boggling.

They even retconned the one person who shows up in this game who ever agreed with him. I really need some fucking answers on whose idea it was to remove any SEMBLANCE of conflict from this game. I want to hear John Epler say it out of his fat fucking mouth.
>>
>>502712941
We're just enjoying another way Veilguard has failed anon, I don't think anyone here cares beyond schadenfreude at Bioware
>>
>>502713198
the Dalish deserved a WIN though!! that's why they side with the shems against the guy that wants to give them immortality and magic power :))
I hate Epler so much it's unreal
>>
>>502712850
CONTRACT KILLING IS MY ANTI-DRUG
>>
>>502713538
EVEN IF the Dalish are going to be that retarded (honestly, on point for them) WHAT ABOUT the ancient elves??? The spirits? Solas HAS factions on his side and they are just disappeared from existence in this game with no explanation. I mean, at least make an ATTEMPT to explain it away.
>>
Meredith is remembered
>>
>>502713813
you don't need to explain anything away if your target audience are zoomie tourist retards that have never touched dragon age
that's their 200IQ move

you sound like the type of person that would give up their child for "their dream". retard.

>>502713538
>>502713198
Wait, isn't Epler just the cinematic director? If anything, the fault lies with the writers, the creative director, and the executive one. Epler just worked on cutscenes as far as I know.
>>
Is it because i'm playing a warrior or do dragon fights suck ass in veilguard?
>>
There was such a good part in The Dread Wolf Rises where Solas is screaming (in verse) at these magisters about how they will never bind spirits again or he will fucking end them and this magister is smugly thinking "Uh what a hypocrite he clearly bound all these demons and sent them to attack us. There's no way they would do otherwise."

This game needed a part like that. Solas is NOT in this alone.
>>
>>502714514
When have they not? Every DA game all dragon fights are are just you standing there for 10 minutes attacking its legs until it falls over
>>
>>502714339
He wrote Bellara. So I'm sure he wrote some story stuff. I don't know how he feels about the Dalish but anons make it seem like he thinks they are victims.

my sweet summer child, Epler is the writer of Bellara and 2 (awful) short stories from Tevinter Nights. He has been running his mouth on the press making commentary about their retarded narrative decisions so he was in the meeting room at the very least

No. I hate the soft nice teehee Dalish

>>502710537
I would argue against the better gameplay part, DAI has couch co-op and you can play multiplayer sessions with up to 4 people in which each can fully control a character, its true that the combat its not as good if you are only playing it alone though.
>>
>>502714974
Yeah. Man that part was so good. What if The Team went through that same thing and had to face the idea that they might be WRONG. GOD FORBID we have that in a Dragon Age game.

The Dalish have always been a tolerant society.

Do not let a few racists shape your understanding of the Elvhen people.
Solas is a staunch egalitarian.
>>
>>502715198
Same guy that killed Felassan (dude that was loyal to him for eons) just because he asked him not to genocide all of Thedas. Get off your high horse.

>>
>>502714769
>>502714692
Ah damn, I didn't pay attention to all the changes that occured in the team. I forgot he wrote one of the stories for the book, too, which is strange, because I enjoyed all of them. Guess this game really couldn't be saved.
>>
>>502716265
Elves? Yea.
>>
>>502714769
Come back Gaider.... fix the lore..

>>502716265
I approve of human deaths for sake of restoring the world to its rightful state. The genocide part is your headcanon. Hope that helps.
>>
>>502716369
read the reply chain you fucking, imbecile. i'm referring to sola who wants to genocide most of thedas by demon attack (even elves who aren't a part of his little group) but this is worth fighting for... for some reason according to retarded fags who can't properly analyze characters.

“First day, they come and catch everyone. Second day, they beat us and eat some for meat. Third day, the men are all gnawed on again. Fourth day, we wait and fear for our fate. Fifth day, they return and it's another girl's turn. Sixth day, her screams we hear in our dreams. Seventh day, she grew as in her mouth they spew. Eighth day, we hated as she is violated. Ninth day, she grins and devours her kin. Now she does feast, as she's become the beast. Now you lay and wait, for their screams will haunt you in your dreams.”
>>
>>502717543
Retard did you not see the demons killing citizens (dwarves, humans, elves) when Solas was starting his ritual. Are you this dumb? The fade isn't killing anyone it's all the fucking DEMONS that it would unleash that would kill most of the population.

>>502717684
No worse, than Tolkien's orcs. Get a grip.

he only exists because of them.

Oh yeah, there will a genocide
a demon genocide
>>
>>502718358
The entities that are neither spirits nor physical beings have been mentioned in lore for some time now, including vint night
>>
>>502717941
Why though
>>
>>502709319
Neither games are GOTY worthy. Inquisition still had old Bioware writers but jesus the game was such a mess to play, from the real timers to the fetch quests to the MMO combat. But it really shines in dialogue and the music was Dragon Age's best.

Veilguard has one of the best ARPG gameplays that I experienced alongside the beautiful locations, the polished artstyle, The Lighthouse. But the writing didn't hit the same and it didn't have the same emotional burst as The Dawn Will Come even though I prefer Rook over The Inquisitor.
>>
>>502718661
>No, he isn't. That's just a dumb headcanon theory.
Some Russian found an executor model in the files and its literally Vorgoth with a different texture

asset re-use.

reminder, executors don't have masculine or feminine voices.
>>
>>502719294
But executors also look like that in the animation
>>
thoughts on sending gryphons to grey wardens or leaving them in the forest?
>>
>>502719062
Vorgoth unironically fits how they described executors before desu, they probably reused the model.
