have some fun vivienne facts!

if the inquisitor romances dorian, vivienne receives a letter from an acquaintance in tevinter expressing shock at the “disturbing rumors” of their relationship, and vivienne responds by ripping the acquaintance a new one

repeatedly expresses sorrow at civilian deaths (”the defenseless are always the first casualties of war”)

cole said this about her harrowing “no, I will not fall, no one will control me ever again…shaking, hollow, harrowed but smiling at templars to show them i’m me, i am not like that”

despite her insistence that cole is a demon, she was worried for him

unlike solas, she is afraid of demons

finds it delightful that varric is writing a story with her as the villain

“my dear, if i didn’t want people to fear me I wouldn’t dress like this”

wants to send a sternly worded letter to varric’s tailor

was born in wycome 

has read hard in hightown

“i am the most dangerous thing in the room, darling”

treats bull like a favorite son and teaches him to dance

bull compares her to a qunari dreadnought, which she enjoys

greatly admired divine justinia

sees templars as a useful tool

“that which makes you different can be a burden or a source of strength”

was taken to the circle at such a young age that she doesn’t remember her parents

passes information on to sera and the friends of red jenny

worries for dorian’s safety in trying to reform the imperium, tells him to be careful

hello. just saw a vid with background dialogue where neve fairly unmistakably flirted with lucanis during his recruitment mission. cannot come up with an end to this post i shouldn’t redact for propriety

[riftsmagic]

something nice i’ve noticed from lucanis footage is that mage rooks get a little dialogue option to immediately notice he’s possessed when they meet him, whereas non-mage rooks have to get told so by a mage companion. it reminds me of da2 quests like enemies among us, where mage hawkes or mage companions sometimes had special options to resist a blood mage’s control or test someone for possession

i feel like we lost a lot of that in dai in exchange for the knowledge perks from the war table, which were kind of annoying when it would have had more roleplay value to simply give mages the arcane knowledge, and cadash the underground knowledge, and so on. like at the very least give characters the freebie it’s bizarre for them not to have, and then make them buy the rest

i hope warriors and rogues also get occasional cool little cutscene options in veilguard like they did once or twice in da2 :) warrior hawkes straight up punching that rock wraith in the face and rogue hawkes insta-killing slavers with a throwing knife u will always be famous

Any theories y'all? / Source

This has for sure been asked numerous times already but I'm curious so with the information we have so far:

[riftsmagic]

world of thedas did so much for us. remember when it said at the end of witch hunt ariane just takes off with finn thats her apostate now

[riftsmagic]

rotating lucanis in my brain like this

[riftsmagic]

Zevran doodle cause of this tweet

[riftsmagic]

lucanis’ demon is called spite!!! “what sets spite off?”

i’ve been wondering if it was a rage demon since how he acted in tevinter nights omggg. when he says “we” does he mean himself and spite??

[riftsmagic]

da2 posting again. I'm so normal about Merrill

[riftsmagic]

i know i’m a broken record but how does nobody listing hawke’s tragedies, or discussing hawke at all, talk about how non-mage hawke was at fucking ostagar

[riftsmagic]

can’t wait to continue the dragon age tradition of ignoring the stairs and instead rocketing down from the upper story

[riftsmagic]

what i wouldnt give for the veilguard character creator before the full game's release so i can make all my ocs from all the previous games in new pretty graphics...........

davrin / mournwatch and emmrich / warden are both really good for the same reasons. guy (neutral) who watches over the dead x guy (neutral) who is metaphorically already dead, and maybe has been for a long time now

yeah i think these are really good shouts!!

emmrich being our mourn watcher and also our older character, his storyline is surely going to engage with things like time and death and age and grief, which really plays into involving a grey warden character. i also think it’s very charming for him to be swept off his feet by an appropriately dashing warden. it’s what he deserves!!

davrin/mourn watch is also interesting because as well as the dynamic you pointed out, i think it’s also crucial that davrin is a custodian of a griffon: new life out of supposed death and extinction. and wardens in general engage with death in order to do battle with it. that’s very fun, perhaps especially for a mourn watcher who maybe hasn’t taken as many positive lessons from their work as emmrich and could do with that kind of reminder of hope. something something go not gently into that good night
