i hate when i catch myself defending a character so hard i actually start being wrong. like i’m sorry for my conduct your honor i haven’t actually passed the bar

actually sorry dav reads like a game that was written by people who think da2 is about found family. in every other game my ending feels earned and my choices are my own and then veilguard asks the bold question what if we could bring the hr mandatory team bonding experience into a video game?

i think making unromanceable characters romanceable defeats the spirit of it. The dynamic would change entirely if the character actually wants you. Instead you will make an entire arc that may or may not lead to romance like god intended, and make her suffer a bit too

Everything Loghain Mac Tir did he did out of an unfathomable hate for the French. Is he a villain for this? I scoff at you.

based on that one scene from b99

mad as fuck over dragon age but i know it's almost unreasonable to complain about it because i made so much up in my mind. bioware you've committed various crimes it's true but technically you are not to blame for these ones

i have to be so real. sometimes you have to outright not give a shit what the author thinks. i’m not saying to disregard how a character is portrayed and give into fanon characterisations but sometimes i will see fans be like “(head writer) omggg do you think this character is a good person?” “how would this character react if xyz happened?” as though that’s not a question you can and have to answer for yourself.! any character can contain multitudes and if you keep limiting your perception of them solely on word of god its not fun for the writer or even yourself anymore. THINK FOR YOURSELF. INVENT NEW WAYS TO FUCK YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS OVER

had a dream vg got dlc where the ui would shift and change to look like origins with the font and design and then introduced a dwarf character from da2 who was like. the hanged man’s owner and one of varric’s carta contacts who brought rook and the veilguard to solve a mystery in kirkwall to do with merrill’s eluvian. dear lord bioware let me drive the car NOW

Could you tag your veilguard critical posts please

yes sorry!!!! i sometimes do not register that i'm being critical because in my mind i'm just dumping thoughts onto this blog but i will be more mindful of this!!

to the people who tagged that asian dellamortes post with “i thought lucanis was asian because of his eyes” firstly me too and before i even read the art book LOL because if i reach then he kind of looks like he has double eyelids but secondly i believe that was copium. if the designers ever come out and say “the dellamortes were always meant to be partially/half asian” then we should kill them because there is nothing that implies any kind of korean or asian coding. i think there is a clear and total failure in character design and writing if you present a character who is white passing and fail to address the fact that their quote unquote culture means something to them and the writing treats them like they’re (only) italian or spanish. like i think if he actually was supposed to be asian he would have mentioned literally any korean dish. while we’re here i kind of would have liked more references to worldbuilding for bellara (and cyrian) who has a hairpin (a cultural thing not seen before in thedas! but from where?) or irelin who has an accent which literally implies she is not from thedas or that she at least speaks another language. same goes for neve and dorian but i also would have had mixed feelings about south asian aesthetics pinned onto thedas’ proxy for the roman empire that is also filled with slavery. like i don’t think it’s gotta be one-to-one with coding especially with a world that is as broad as thedas but it is kind of crazy that a previous head writer said “idk. i guess there are just no asians on the continent. don’t ask me again” and then it was like hmmm actually the pavus family seem to be the only asians on the continent and then suddenly veilguard goes “HEY WE’VE HAD ASIAN PEOPLE THE WHOLE TIME!”

constantly making airy offhand comments to my preferred younger son about how he’s next in line for the throne after his brother but he still hasn’t killed my detested firstborn for me. kids these days have no fucking initiative.
