What’s really jumping out at me on my second playthrough is that the writers of the first three games understood that your character was the main character. The Veilguard writers clearly thought that the main characters were their characters, the companions.

Every scene is about setting the companions up as cool or competent or sympathetic. Often, this is done at Rook’s expense. The companions get all the witty one-liners; Rook’s attempts at humor not only frequently fall flat, but are frequently called out for falling flat (even when they’re completely automatic and the player has no say in them).

The companions have all the knowledge and skills; Rook just brought them all together and gives them all pep talks so they can focus. I’m trying to edit out all of the comments where Rook is like “Um… what????” from my videos, and let me tell you, it takes WORK. There are A LOT of them. I can count on one hand the number of times when the Inquisitor or Hawke comes across as dumb, but it seems to be a built-in, unavoidable part of Rook’s character. I have not selected a single “purple” option in all of Act 1, and Rook is still coming across as the kid who tries to be the class clown to cover for the fact that he’s always confused. Rook’s role in most scenes is to say “Uhhh… what?” so that the companions look smart.

Rook is always the one offering sympathy and never the one getting it. No one actually comes to comfort you after Varric’s death. No one asks you how you’re feeling about having to lead the team now that Varric is gone. No one tries to reassure you or give you advice for dealing with the trickster god haunting your dreams. We’re told that Neve could keep Solas out of your head, but she never actually offers to do this for you. No one comforts a Shadow Dragon Rook when Minrathous is destroyed or a Grey Warden Rook when Weisshaupt is destroyed. Rook’s problems don’t matter. Only the problems of main characters matter.

Rook is a secondary character in their own story.

one of my absolute favorite things that we need to talk about more is the absolutely fed up look on louis' face s2ep8 when he tells lestat he's going to be with armand.

that man did not want to be with armand and was hoping lestat would throw one of his typical fits, and when he didn't, louis (also insane) realized that, fuck, well now he's gotta commit to the bit.

Danny: Don't make it obvious, but that girl I told you about is about to walk by our store window-

Dan/Dani/Jazz: *Pressing themselves against the glass* The one in the purple or the one with the bob?

Danny: Stop it! They can see you! Aghhh *dives under counter* She saw me!

Dan: It's the one with the bob.

Dani: she's hot!

Jazz: You should go out there with free samples, Danny. Start a conversation.

Danny: For all that is holy, GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOW.

Outside the shop

Steph: Aw, was that the guy you were telling me about? The one that blushed that hard and dove under the counter?

Cass: Yes, isn't he cute? He co-owns the chocolate store with his siblings.

Steph: Yummy. You should go in there! Ask for some free samples, and start a conversation. Get your flirt on.

Cass: I'm waiting for the right moment. He looks like he's going to have a heart attack every time he sees me, but I can tell he likes me.

Steph: Want to loop back and pretend to stare at the bunny chocolate display?

Cass: *Taking off her cardigan* Well, he does need to build up an immunity to my looks.

While I agree that Robby is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, I would also like to point out Kiara (the social worker) has had to deal with

- a teen with a ‘girls to eliminate’ list disappearing from the hospital

- calling CPS on parents after their child ingested THC

- supporting siblings who had to pull the plug on their father

- supporting parents after their son died of an overdose

- handling a possible human/sex trafficking case

- helping the ‘Kraken’ after he woke up

- supporting a family when their daughter died from drowning

- having to identify the deceased shooting victims and tell the families

in the same day as everyone else. A lot of horrible no good day to go around.
