@elluvians I've been using relationship dialogue overhaul for restored follower dialogue.

And I thought I had another for regular NPC ambient dialogue, but I can't find it. It's probably part of the unofficial skyrim patch and I've just been very unlucky with ambient convos triggering 😭

breathing heavy thinking about the fact that veilguard will most likely give us a more detailed and more expansive map of northern thedas.

i adore the tevinter nights map but it was clearly going for presentation over function/accuracy. which is great for its purpose, but it's missing detail that i personally care about soooooosososo much so i'm looking forward to the in-game one

[irabelas]

god it looks fantastic. im so happy to see dragon age again, despite it all. varric sweetie sit down you're fucking aged my man.

so obsessed with a rumor spreading widely after the exalted council that the inquisitor died because after the council saw them with no arm and post-battle, they ended the inquisition then they vanished. imagine the inquisitor keeping to the shadows and coming across shrines and memorials to them across thedas, maybe even more powerful in memory and in death, invoked as a quasi-saint by the people of thedas

MAKE ME CHOOSE → DRAGON AGE or MASS EFFECT (for @elluvians)

i replayed origins for the 1st time in years as the dalish warden and. damn. was unprepared by how circular the journey would feel (i romanced morrigan and went into the elluvian with her. legit teared up at that). everytime i see a post of yours about how inquisition handles the dalish i dread it more (i have played it before, but now it Is Personal).

i really like that circular storytelling for mahariel conceptually esp with morrimance its sooooo good. ive only played witch hunt with surana which is not quite as circular but getting to go back to the circle library and basement and see eleni zinovia and hang out with a circle kid like finn is a little bit of that. mahariel seems like it must be the best witch hunt experience though

I think we need to brace ourselves for the likely fact that Varric is not making it past the opening act of Veilguard. He only shows up once in the release trailer, which is another section of said opening act, and not seen at all after that. Only his scene is narrated by him, sounding a lot like good luck and goodbye.

To further elaborate, we see Rook, Neve, Bellara and Harding go through an Elluvian, and judging by the state of Harding, its very shortly after the events of ritual where they probably just recruited Bellara. One person is very distinctly missing....Varric.

Most of the trailer is now narrated by Morrigan now instead of him, where he was the primary narrator in previous trailers. It's gonna be a hard pill to swallow if my speculation is proven right.

Thoughts about the Veilguard gameplay:

Would have liked to see some companion combat. It mentioned that the command system was locked at that point in the story, but I would’ve appreciated seeing how it works. Can you give orders like ‘go there’ and ‘focus that guy’? Can you set them up with tactics like in Origins? (I miss the tactics menu.)

I noticed Neve got in close a couple of times to do some melee shenanigans, is that a Neve-specific quirk or are we getting some more in depth sexy close quarters mage stuff?

Rook had a limited arrow pool which is fine, I have no issue with that. What I’m wondering is if rogues as a class will have less reliance on the bow? Or will it be possible to spec further into that? How does it work for Varric and Harding who are archer based? Will there be a dedicated archer class? Can I play bow and arrow main weapon is my question.

I would’ve liked to see more of the magic system. What kinda spells and spell classes will we have this time around? Neve seems very ice-centric, which is neat, but can I cast fireball? Chain lightning? Can I spec someone into the dedicated spirit healer? Is shapeshifting coming back? What about blood magic? We’re in Tevinter please give me blood magic.

What ARE the classes going to be and how will the system work? Is it locked in from the start? Do we have a bit more flexibility with it? Can I respec skill points? Are there class masteries?

How does equipping weapons work? Can you have a main loadout and swap to a secondary loadout like in Origins? Do weapons come in sets, or can I mix and match this sword with this offhand weapon? Am I locked to certain weapons? Are there any cross class things going on? That rogue Rook we saw, is that bow an ability or a weapon he can swap out? How does it work?

How does companion levelling work? Can I spec Harding into daggers? Like how in Origins you could take a perfectly good dagger-wielding rogue in Zevran and say ‘here’s a bow, shoot stuff’ can I do that again? Or are classes more locked down?

Will I be able to see companion health bars (and other statuses) when they’re in my party?

Intrigued by the ‘which companion you take will have consequences’ bit too. ‘Harding will go with you into greater danger’, does that mean… what? Permanent injuries? Relationship status changes? Unique dialogue? If you take a companion into a situation they don’t want will they leave the group? Do companions have the chance for perma death???

Is that dialogue system similar to DA2 and will it have some of the same effect on ambient dialogue?

I don’t think we’ve ever had a romanceable dwarf? Do we get two this time? Harding and Varric? Please??

Is Rook locked to human? I don’t want that. After we finally got to be Qunari in Inquisition, please don’t give us less options now.

The two shapes that rise up behind Solas at the end have some vague resemblance to the Architect and Corypheus, any chance they are some more of the Magisters? Could we get some more lore about the Black City? Especially considering all the differing opinions about whether the Maker lived there or the Old Elven Gods or whatever. Would be nice if it really does have something to do with the taint because I am STILL WAITING to find out if my Warden and the Architect figured something out, and we left someone in the Fade in Inquisition… now is the time okay. Bring it all home.

I know there’s that thing going on about how they want only names and faces Solas doesn’t know, but like… if the Fade is being torn asunder… will Hawke/Alistair/Other Guy make a return? Have the Veiljumpers found them? If there is something about the calling (which I’m hoping given we have a new Warden), will our DAO Warden be making a reappearance? Is this gonna be like… all the old PCs joining the new one to Ultrazord punch Solas in the face?

Elluvian appearance: I know Tevinter is Just Like That but please??? News about Merrill???

Just in general, how many of my faves will be brought back and done dirty this time? I need to know so I can brace myself.

5 Character Associations - Rann

EMOTIONS/FEELINGS:

a warm swell of pride in the chest

curiosity and wonder, an appetite to learn

the dull ache of worry and concern

caring and protective, eager to offer aid

a blade-sharp, ice-cold vengeful malice

COLOURS:

ash grey

ruby red

raven black

steel blue

dusky silver

SCENTS:

old books + parchment & ink

whatever fruits and flowers he's using for his latest tea blend

a hint of rosewater, particularly on his hands

smoky incense

a faint scent of tree tea oil - cool, soothing, minty and pine-like

OBJECTS:

Eternal Bond - a gift from Reverie

A second-hand violin Keltse kindly gave him

A collection of books on the study of magic and magical applications taking up a shelf in their house

Feathered Shawl - matches with Reverie

Anathema - a gift from another Arisen...

BODY LANGUAGE:

Arms loosely folded, not exactly closed off but patiently guarded and watchful.

Alert and discerning gaze, taking in all of the details, movements, and going-on's around him. Though relaxed it serves a purpose, but he also seems to simply enjoy 'people watching' and taking note of such things. He's attentive and absorbs information easily.

A subtle but gentle smile, peaceful and friendly - calm, collected, and confident, but not lacking a sincere warmth, it offers reassurance.

A smile that looks very similar but is frightfully cold and seems to take almost callous delight in rendering massive damage to the enemy.

A slight lack of the awareness of personal space, he's not afraid to reach out and touch, grab, or move someone if necessary - especially to assist them (or what he perceives as assisting).

AESTHETICS:

crows and ravens

tomes and scrolls

warm steam curling off of pots and cups of tea

kintsugi - mending, fixing what seems unfixable

blood and bandages

SONGS:

Hozier - Francesca

The Oh Hellos - Like the Dawn

Cody Fry - I Hear A Symphony

Syml - Body

Crywolf feat. Emalyn - Tenebrescence

This is one of my favorite character prompts to do, can be as brief or detailed as you want and just a nice way to grasp some character basics. So I'll definitely be doing it for all of my characters, but def won't be spam-tagging everyone every time 😂 But!! feel free to do it for as many or few characters as you want! (and tag me if you like I'd love to see them but you don't have to <3<3<3)
