okay remember how I said I was going to be unreservedly hyped about Veilguard? yeah, some reserve now.

The lack of choices to carry forward feels... shallow, and I kind of expect we'll see fewer codex entries than we have in past games. I mean, somehow they're going to have to completely avoid referencing the southern Divine or the rulers of Fereldan and Orlais, so that means just less information about southern Thedas in general. Cameos... Zev, Fenris, and Blackwall are all ruled out, since all of them could have been killed. Dorian is still possible, but would have to be written very vaguely. Merrill would have been a great person to see with the Veiljumpers, but now seems unlikely.

And like, I get that Our Friends can't be involved in ALL the major world events (except for Morrigan) but come on. No codices or letters or overheard references? That stinks!

Also, this:

No the fuck she doesn't, what the hell are you on about? This is the Hawke blood magic thing all over again, and this was always my concern with the Inquisitor coming back as an NPC. Their choice mechanism won't even account for whether or not you even HAD a good relationship with Solas, which is going to be weird for those folks who punched him.

I feel like Inquisition did a really good job of making it feel like the world had changed based on players' actions in past games, and now it sounds like Veilguard is going backwards in that regard and not even integrating player choice in its ephemera.

[what-is-it-to-be-pk-esque]

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

So.. In most videogames, you have the "journal" where you keep codices, quests, character details.. Etc. So here are some of my personal journal-keeping troupes for various videogame MCs!

Dark urge, BG3-

Memory issues. They want to keep a record of everything while it's still fresh in their head.. As someone who struggles with a lot of short term memory loss, and has blocked out a lot of my childhood due to various traumas, I understand a lot of the fear and panic that comes with not remembering things. Not to mention the severe head trauma Orin caused to Durge, they'd probably continue to have memory problems throughout the rest of their life, even after the whole ordeal with the netherbrain.

The Warden, Dragon age: Origins-

I feel like someone gave the Warden an empty journal before they left with Duncan.. For my personal playthrough, I believe it was Hahren Paivel, elder of clan Sabrae. He was far from a mentor, but he was there when my Warden was born. He watched her learn and grow among her cousins, Merrill and Tamlen. He watched them play, and fight. He watched her rival with her best friend, and he watched her get hurt, and leave. Judged her actions no more than he praised her victories.. She had always been so invested in their stories, and learning about their culture. And while Paivel had never had such a respectful child, willing to listen and learn.. He also had never seen one so stuck in a past that they had barely lived themselves. I feel like Paivel wanted her to focus on making new stories of the dalish, and record her own adventures, rather than simply mourning being away from home.

Rhen, Aveyond 1-

I feel like she always kept a journal, but wanted to record everything even more after she was kidnapped. After all, it all started with her trying to find a way home, rather than anything else. I feel like she wanted to record a diary, in case she died, so that her parents would know what happened. Or perhaps, as an optimist, she wanted to keep it so she could show everyone back at Clearwater when she finally returned home. To tell stories of her adventures.

Hawke, da2-

Firm belief that Hawke didn't keep a journal. Ever. Their bestie Varric wrote his book about the hero of kirkwall, and Hawke wrote sassy commentary in the margins.

The inquisitor, DAI-

I feel like the inquisitor is just a massive fucking nerd at heart, and would definitely go on a lecture style rant every half hour if they weren't so goddamn stressed and tired all the time. I headcannon that my personal inquisitor used to work at the Black emporium, acquiring various old relics and shit for the job because they genuinely just loved learning about things, so they record and catalog everything.

Darc and Kharg, Arc the lad: twilight of the spirits-

Darc doesn't keep a journal, he's too much for that. Always in a rush for the next step, hot blooded and ambitious. Plus, he's traumatized and doesn't want to remember shit.- I feel like if anyone in his group kept a journal, it would probably be Volk- But not just any journal. He would probably use one that his wife or children kept before they had died. One that smells like his family. Maybe he feels like he's carrying on a pass time they enjoyed, and puts aside his desire for revenge for the night just to feel close to his family again before bed.

Kharg on the other hand is such a flamboyant little princess who thinks everything he does is important that I wholeheartedly believe he would keep a journal just because he thinks people are going to care enough to read it in a library one day. Bro is so full of himself that it's actually insane. Fuck you, Kharg.

[elu-is-reading]

I've wanted to do the SixFanarts challenge for a long while, but didn't have any good reason for it. Very much late to the trend but after getting one more player character from playing Baldur's Gate 3 I now have enough recent-ish favourite game OCs to do an actual good idea with this without reusing specific games (game series obviously don't count). Template by @mcapriglioneart and I found it on Brushwarriors.

me, a veteran of dragon age fandom during its Worst Years staring at some of the stuff she comes across in the wild: durge fans are just the elf inquisitor fans of the BG3 fandom. got it.
