i don't think we talk enough about the brilliance (from a storyline perspective) of the good/normal ending

like. earlier on in the game, solas tells you that in comparison to elgar'nan, he is someone who wins not through brute force but through clever tricks and manipulations and that when he wins, it's because he's right–a sentiment he echoes in the end, stating "you were not crushed by the power of the dread wolf. you were bested fairly by wits alone"

this is pride at its best, when solas believes himself to be the sole source of wisdom. and then rook does the complete unthinkable and double crosses the Lord of Tricksters. and so then solas is subjected to the same fate he once imposed upon those threatening the freedom of his people, at his own hands because he made rook into who they are and it's sheer insanity on so many levels because he finally gets a taste of his own medicine which comes at a brutal cost to him

and regardless of whether it's the good or the normal ending, his final worlds always focus on his godhood and rook's mortality:

you are a mortal! and i am a–

a god.

and the metamorphosis is complete. solas now has become what he states in-game he's always feared becoming: arrogance unchecked. and then rook does exactly what solas once did and in doing so, becomes the same rebel/trickster as him.

the dread wolf is dead. long live the dread wolf.

I've been playing DA:Veilguard nonstop at the moment and all I can think of is that my elf boi has beautiful hair in the past. cuz priorities

she tied you to a kitchen chair

she broke your throne

she cut your hair

sorry i was passionate & intense & insane. it will happen again

i just need davrin to say “attagirl” one time during battle and i’ll never complain about anything again

i’ve learned a) taash has a “that’s my girl!” line, which makes me crazy jealous, and b) multiple people have said they haven’t gotten any romance-specific battle praise from davrin. what the fuck

!DRAGON AGE: VEILGUARD SPOILERS!

Finally found casual clothes that Amaris would actually wear and thank god you can see his cool tattoos finally

Ever look at a character and “man, I wish the writers didn’t hate you”

choked on my own spit reading this banter
