#crow plays da4

[fereldencorvids]

it took me almost an hour last night but i have a lad!! never crossed my mind that i’d make a mercar first but here we are. it fit him the most as i made him. his name’s meraad. i didn’t have any rooks planned out pre game so im very excited to get to meet him.

these two gossiping about their love lives is so fucking cute

bonus lucanis confirmed canonically having had a crush on viago!!!

[maythedreadwolftakeyou]

jacobus would be soooooo jealous of Illario (<- got his dead cousin back :) yay) until he Found Out and then he would be just so so mad i think

Emmrich: Another question about the Crows, Lucanis.

Rook: Hey, I'm also a Crow.

Lucanis, deadpan: Have you told Viago that?

Rook: *sighs*

Me: *wheezes*

how it feels playing da4 tbh

[sotc]

I can't stop thinking about how much Spite would've loved Zevran. Take Spite's "Want to? Fly like a dragon?" commentary at Taash to Zevran's "Knives can kill. Even small children, when launched at very fast speeds, can kill." and Spite would've been like:

[feaches]

1:29 - Caterina Dialogue angles 1:58 - Rook's Frustration with Lucanis 4:03 - Scared Face + Face Scrunch 6:10 - Wings of Spite Shots 10:30 - Illario 'Spared' + Lucanis angle 13:55 - I couldn't leave this place, not with you here

loving the crow specific banter 💜

I'm so unwell about the way Viago holds Teia's shoulders when they're telling you that Caterina is dead, how Teia covers his hands with her, I'm-

SO UNWELL 😭❤️ they're so supportive and comfortable with each other, so well matched, third playthrough and I'm still so unwell about it all.

ok now that ive actually finished veilguard

i rly did love it!! and also hate parts of it unfortunately :/

the environments are gorgeous, they did an excellent job balancing story and exploration. the gameplay is so fun, i was worried about the combat changes but its great! (i still wish the player character had access to more abilities at once but w/e), the music was great

the downside comes from the writing. it just feels so... shallow? there's so much material in the areas and topics of the game, but they didnt engage with that, and it makes the world feel watered down, or glossed over. its like the game is avoiding dealing with any subject thats too complicated or messy.

it makes me feel like none of what we saw was fully covered! what do you mean the game is over, we havent really dug into this! which sucks bc i doubt they'll be retreading any of this territory in future games :c

the antagonists, aside from solas, were also by and large, really flat. again this feels like its another symptom of not really engaging with the material in a meaningful way

but actually what really gets me is ending that post credits stinger (which... no comment.) with "the veilguard remains vigilant" as IF we're gonna see these character in a major part again!! dragon age doesnt do returning protagonists even when it might actually make more narrative sense

Alhamdulillah for the Otis Photomode Mod for Veilguard so I can get some fun screenshots of the romance scene from better angles.

“and now you’re gonna be insufferable about it. see this is why nobody likes you.” IM CRYING

[pinkfey]

i don’t know if this is a lord of fortune rook-specific thing or an elf-specific thing but that random lore drop that rook was a tevinter slave was uhhhhh upsetting and disgusting

[killerpancakeburger]

Rook: *picks up a random piece of paper in the Villa Dellamorte*

"FAMILY TREE: A long line of Dellamorte family members. Lucanis' name has been crossed out and replaced with an angry scrawl: demon."

Lucanis: What's that?

Rook: NOTHING HAHA *hurries to crumple the paper and throw it away*
