Ok. I am all for giving Veilgaurd the space to be it's own game and appreciate it for what it is, but every time I see a person who openly talks about only getting in to dragon age this year or some other nonsense go off about how long term fans hate the game cause they cant handle change I see red.

I mean, to be a Dragon Age fan, you have to be able to accept change. Change is at the core of the experience. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is a different question. But if you're a long-term fan of the series, you've succeeded in the task of accepting change.

The criticisms of Veilgaurd are, in my opinion, a little unique to the franchise. For all Inquisition tweaked certain lore and it irritated a lot of people- it did so with self-awareness and intention. I am thinking about how it did the Dalish dirty in many respects. For all I do not agree with that writing direction, the game itself atleast acknowledges it is 1. New information. 2. Dependent on the clan. 3. Gives you the room to roleplay your character according to previously established lore. This is just one example, of course.

Veilgaurd is unique in the fact it ignores much of the series pre-established lore and in no way owns up to it.

I have seen a lot of hateful comments about how Origins hasn't been the framework of the series since 2009. And yeah, sure to a degree that is true. The gameplay certainly got tossed out. But in many ways, Dragon Age 2 is a direct continuation of that world and setting. DA2 and Origins and the lore they established are solid and share a vision. Play as a Mahariel and engage with Merril's clan. It's the same world. The same npc's. Inquisition does not deviate that far from that vision when you look past the companions all playing devil's advocate.

I really don't think everyone disappointed with this game or finding it lacking are "blinded by nostalgia." Most Dragon Age fans will be the first ones to tell you the franchise is a mess. But acting like the games that established it as beloved to it's fans are no longer relevant is so nasty to me. You as a newer fan would not be able to play Veilgaurd if the older fans had not made the previous titles financial successes. If they had not kept the love for the series alive, this new game would never have made it out of development.

The game is good. It's enjoyable to play. It's not without its charms. It should be given room to shine for what it is. It's a miracle we have it given the development journey it went on.

But it's also a massive smack in the face to many people who loved all three previous titles. And that's a bad thing. And I hope future titles remember the lore and tone of the series better.

These two things can both be true.

lets goooo lesbians lets go

(do not assume i watched anything past c3e1 and do not post spoilers or any plot details in the tags please and thank you)

[loudestlibrarianongodsgreenearth]

not to be a complete fucking fangirl but Percy putting aside fixing the gun to assist Pike in the resurrection of the little boy by SINGING was maybe one of the sweetest moments of the show so far and i like to believe that was the moment Pike realized she had feelings for him

[marching-weirdo]

"zukos character arc is best-

"no aangs flirting skills are-"

"You forgot sokkas hair-"

YALL FORGOT KORRA

SHE WENT FROM THIS

TO THIS

AND STILL GIRLBOSSED HER WYA THROUGH EVERYTHING WHILE ALSO FINDING LOVE AND GAINING BACK THAT MUSCLE!

she also showed a lot of people, like me, that mental health recovery isn't linear. like, girl, that show has problems BUT DAMN IT IF IT ISNT BETTER THAN MoST THINGS YOU SEE

[andorerso]

kinda telling how all these interviews are focusing on Cassian's love life and his relationships with Bix and even Jyn. this show was supposed to be about him. his backstory. I don't think I've seen Cassian himself be talked about without mentioning his romance. this would annoy me even if I liked the ship. is this the only thing about him that's important? cool

[stealingpotatoes]

hands you all this cal to announce i’ve FINALLY finished fallen order (by which i mean i finally picked it up again after those couple hours i played a few months ago and then finished the whole game in 2 days lol)

[tf2heritageposts]

so im working on classwork, and for one of my classes (abnormal psych) i have to comment and critique at least three people’s slides so they can use it for the final project. i was looking for one that wouldn’t drive me insane and saw one on autism, then when i went to go comment i saw this exchange between a classmate and the OP

and i just decided “yeah im not gonna comment on that one” because

[akkpipitphattana]

another casting announcement for the hunger games, another day of me being so confused over the people that insist that all of them are perfect and shouldn’t be criticized. louella mccoy is NOT described to look like katniss, they just have the same hairstyle, they didn’t HAVE to make her white and make her look like jennifer lawrence 😭

[patopq]

oml i wonder if theres a fic of what-wouldve-happened if liams shitty die hadnt betrayed him and caleb had succesfully persuaded essek to join the nein with trent, astrid and aedwulf to stop lucien. the epic bisexual maelstrom

[gojuo]

ah yes prioritizing fanservice over logic and meaningful writing. that never went wrong in the history of ever.

[destiel-news-channel]

I want to thank you for using the may their memory be a blessing tag instead of rip or rest in peices

You may be a goy but you're a mensch to me

you are so very welcome! i am doing my best to be respectful and that includes using the appropriate expressions. and, if i may say so, even though i sincerely wish i didnt have to use it so much, i think it's a quite lovely and beautiful sentiment.
