Da: The Veilguard - Tumblr Posts
On another note about gaming discourse: it’s always the same complaints about stuff that honestly make no sense. “Marvel dialogue” this, “Fortnite artstyle” that, “Oh it looks like a hero shooter” when no, it really doesn’t.
It’s enough to make me scream, and I’m pretty damn sure people do this because they saw their favorite reviewer say the same thing, and now they just parrot the arguments for most things, even when not applicable!
Sorry I had to get this off my chest. Rant over.
Y'know, since we all collectively agreed this man has Gomez vibes
"What have they done to you,
Old friend."
Trapped in the fade, Solas comes face to face with the remnant of his spirit.
The Dread Wolf was his wisdom, mirror to his pride. In the wake of the wrathful Evanuris, it too, has succumbed to their taint.
Or, where I'm making wild plot speculations surrounding Solas trapped in the fade. while turning my brainrot into art pieces and gifs. I'M PACING MY ENCLOSURE. Looking for crumbs and scrabs of Veilguard. Please Bioware I'm begging, feed me. 😭
Voice ringing with fullness from both worlds, guiding me to the shining places. He calls himself Pride.
thinking about how, at the end of DAO and DAI, no matter what your character has done, how they're been throughout their game as a person, what choices they made, they're celebrated. They're embraced as The Hero of the Day, the ultimate savior. They're either mourned as a hero and celebrated with kind words, or have a whole celebration in their name. They're The Star at the end of the game. and then there's DA II. And there is no celebration for you, no heroic ending that satisfies your heroic deeds and urges. Yes, they bow to you if you side with templars. And still, there's no joy. No happines of liberation. Only obidience and acceptance of what faith has brought upon everyone eventually. There is no big happy winning. And then, when you side with mages, there is not even a single thankful soul at the very end. Templars let you go. They don't touch you. They flinch as you approach. They're scared of you. There is no winning whatsoever in this game, if you think about it. No grand evil stopped, only blood spilled everywhere and things coming into motion. thinking about how... i want the same for DATV. It would be very thematically convinient, as we can guess that the questions of status quo, historical revisionism and legacy are very important for this story, and while i wouldn't exactly hope that Rook eventually has to decide if the veil should be kept or destroyed, i think we eventually will be met with the events of the upmost importance, with the result that for a lot of people might be very controversial. I want the game to end without THE happy ending, but more than that, i want the game that ends with the world that is not the same and it doesn't celebrate that. Something happened. Something so big and unthinkable that we all need time to just let that sink in. There is no hero of the day - the world is changed, at its core. No one celebrates that. There are no heroes and saviors. Maybe only those who are guilty.
ALSO, ALSO- thinking about the fact that we can't change Rook's last name, and it's predetermined by from which fraction your Rook is. which is- Antivan crows are ruled by the "houses" system. Usually assassins use their house's name as their last name, like Zevran's last name is actually the name of his house, Arainai. What house is crow!Rook from?? what if they're from house Dellamorte? What if they're from house Arainai???? What if they are from any other house????????? what sort of dynamic they will be having with Lucanis then????? Hello?? I'll take a guess, judging by gameplay reveal, that crow!Rook is most likely to be NOT from house Dellamorte, as, for example, it is stated in reveal that Neve never actually met shadow dragon!Rook before, so they're most likely to take the same approach with other companions and fractions, and k i n d a make them from the same field but, still, make them be strangers ughhhh i physically need to think about this game every single moment, i need this week's reveal and the "companions week" reveal like an air, pleaaaaaaaseeeeee
Soooooo after the new details that have been revealed about Veilguard, how do we all imagine a Solavellan reunion is going down? Trapped in the fade together? Lighthouse makeout sessions? A very sad mural dedicated to his Vhenan? My brain is infested with new headcanons.
