sometimes i remember that poll that was like “do you watch reality tv” and most tumblr users said no because i know that’s not true… i need y’all to tell me what your favorite reality tv show is (or was if you haven’t watched it in awhile)

It's wild to me that full-featured character customisation has been paraded about for decades in AAA spaces as the true litmus test of whether a game takes open-world play seriously and a lot of them still treat playing as a woman the same way Baldur's Gate treats playing as a gnome.

Forty hours deep into Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and just realized something. This is not a game for That Guy.

If you’ve been in the ttrpg community, you know what I mean. The kind of player who willingly creates characters or situations that are antithetical to the rest of the party. The one who ignores the social contract of the table, having fun at the others expense. In crpg terms, That Guy ignores dialogues and complains when their companions hate their guts.

Datv works narratively only on its own terms. You are asked to create a character that Varric saw as a potential leader and successor against Solas. And the game, in character creation and at the Lighthouse, guides you to construct them. There are many questions throughout the game, that define your Rook’s past and relationship with the world.

If you roleplay, you can connect with arguably a set of very nuanced and well written companions. Side quests often act like conversations, shifting from your companions’ conflict to yours. Taash can’t understand their identity in the terms of the Qun, does your Qunari and/or trans Rook feel the same? Harding loathes the Evanuris for what they did to the titans, how does your Elf Rook see it? This is not a philosophically deep game, but compared to old Bioware classics and Baldur’s Gate 3 (as most folks have done), Veilguard actively expects and rewards your roleplaying first; while the metagame, the tactics of parry frames and number crunching, they come second.

To enjoy the game, you need to follow the social contract. Which is what all crpg ask of you. The Witcher demands of you the role of Geralt, Gothic is a game based on faction, in Kingdom Come Deliverance Henry can’t join a wizard school. Veilguard does not pull tricks, you can always refund the game.

Enough about favorite books. What’s a book you read and absolutely hated? The book you’ve got a bone to pick with.

"Friends don't look at friends that way" I think some of you just need to be nicer to your friends.

sometimes the misinterpretation on this site seems to deliberate. i could say “i love birds” and someone would say “so you want all other animals to die?”

I'm still confused about editing out Shaw

Like why

I mean if Lucas can still keep Obi Wan as his elder self surely he could have kept Shaw in the same it makes more sense also honestly than having pre Anakin being there

I enjoy Hayden a lot but it still doesn't make sense no matter how much I view it
