the thing about voice actors is that i don't want to know anything about them. i don't want to know what they look like. it's like the opposite of a parasocial relationship i just want to enjoy their work and never interact with them beyond that
rook: they call me rook
solas: ah... like the chess piece. a small yet valuable piece on the board. very clever
rook: um... actually... it's short for "rookie." they just hired me.
solas: ........ i see.
remember towards the end of c2 when everyone was like "omg yasha looking out for caleb so sweet i love their dynamic" bc she would always go off with him but then we later found out that was just because she was tasked with killing him if he got possessed
in 62 days i will be pulverizing old man pelvis on the desk, the staircase, behind the bookshelves, on the balcony, against the window, in front of the giant skeleton statue, etc etc
listen. i know romance isn't everything in stories. however if caleb "seven love-interests" widogast doesn't get laid by the end of the campaign i'll be disappointed
i am OBSESSED with this vallaslin. it is so unlike anything we've seen before. i wonder if it's entirely original, or even vallaslin for the forgotten ones? 👀
replaying the final conversation with solas at the end of trespasser and i just love the way he backs away from lavellan and struggles to meet her gaze when she confronts him about lying. i need that man to kneel at her feet in da:tv
@tendertiefling
i think it's possible this criticism is what lead to the unsatisfying ending of c2 - a lot of the campaign was spent just going with the flow and seeing what happens but suddenly theyre 100+ episodes in, burnt out, still just dicking around, and wanted things to end
the fact that solas probably felt a little justified using elio in his little scheme because he's a magister, but you can FEEL his heart start to break when nadia screams for her lover
i cannot WAIT for veilguard, until i can listen to solas bitch in rook's ear for hours and hours only for him to turn soft and pathetic when lavelly finds him
@Marsuk06
like i knew ai porn is a currently growing issue but to just blatantly advertise that as one of its selling points is so bold and just goes to show that the ppl developing this stuff just do not gaf about the real people they are harming with their shitty pictures
@tendertiefling
some people dont seen to understand that "c2 was about personal healing and growth not about changing the world" and "c2 fell flat narratively and had an unsatisfying and rushed conclusion" are two opinions that can and do coexist
ghilan'nain and elgar'nan are an interesting pairing to me because it is the oldest and arguably the "leader" of the elven pantheon and the one god (afaik) who was inducted into the evanuris. i wonder if ghil will disregard his authority and direction and instead do her own thing
oblivion's murder mystery party wherein YOU are the murderer..... da:i's fancy ball that lets you have a sweet dance with your li at the end......... we need more of that methinks
gonna make a grey warden rook to romance emmerich so he can either ease them into the inevitability of their short life and eventual death or he unlock the fear of someone he loves dying and trying to find a loop hole
@tendertiefling
i still haven't seen c1 so i can't really compare the two, but what i have seen it just seemed so much more concise ? like they had clear goals and followed an overarching narrative
i love how we all decided to leave hawke in the fade because something flemeth said in da2 made us all believe hawke would survive. but now it's been 10 years since then and i'm sure bioware devs are laughing at us for tricking us into killing our characters
i think the reason i latched onto c2 pcs so quickly as opposed to c3 is because they are so obviously flawed. like from the moment we met them i could tell how they needed to grow, how they could help each other grow. in c3 everyone is fairly functional already
@arcanegold
i feel like 7 companions is too many for only allowing 2 party members at a time... because obviously most people will have their LI with them at all times ajdhjdjd so that only leaves space for one more tag-along 😭
@brambeag
imagine if it's all like totally on accident 😭 like varric and harding are fighting dreadwolf goons when the dagger flies out the window and lands in protags backpack and they're just completely unaware
also i KNEW rook would oopsie-daisie their way into the plot but i did not think it would be unleashing ancient immortal gods. that's, like, a really big uh-oh compared to what i was imagining
@northgalis
solas, whose biggest flaw is his inability to trust in other people and his insistence that he must do everything himself, FORCED to rely on other people while he physically cant do anything... ooohh i used to pray for times like these
something i like about bg3 is that, by the end, if you've put in the effort and fostered your relationships, all of your companions love each other. they protect each other. they really feel like a fucked up little family. not even dragon age did that
