LUCANIS & SPITE
Poll time because I enjoy community polls and seeing the result

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.
i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.
so it turns out the reason none of our previous choices matter is because all of southern thedas has been destroyed by the blight and every character we came to care about is probably dead. and also the illuminati control everything. welcome back mass effect 3 ending
Some narrative sketches of Lucanis for DA:TV by Nick Thornborrow, under a cut in case of spoilers.
not to sound like a redditor but this game having incredibly laboured and poorly integrated gender politics while perpetuating the series' unbelievable racism is. woof
LUCANIS DELLAMORTE Dragon Age: The Veilguard (2024) via Skill Up's Hands-On Impressions
rip lucanis you would've loved trolling people on the internet
I'M FUCKING LOSING IT, THIS THING IS SO MAD ROOK KILLED IT THAT IT SENT HATE MAIL ALL THE WAY FROM THE FADE
"Ah. Your distraction worked. Could have set it when we were farther away." / "Désolé. I didn't say it was a good plan."
I am obsessed with the fact that the Veilguard all gathers round to watch Solas's saddest memories and then dissects them like it's an episode of Desperate Housewives. 10/10 no notes, exactly what he deserves.
i always forget that fenris is a mercenary in general, presumably as well as what he does with hawke. how offended do you think the party acts when he’s busy with a different job
PLEASE let there have been a job where hawke got hired to attack some place and fenris got hired to guard it and hawke is like “we aren’t seriously doing this are we” and fenris is like “does my word to my employer mean nothing to you” and hawke is like “really” and fenris is like “do the two sovereigns i am getting for this job mean nothing to you”

you guys have got to take emmrich and davrin out. their banter is sooooo fun.
davrin with rook: ugh. yeah i need to get this griffon under control. he can't keep misbehaving like this. he pukes all the time. needs manners. needs discipline. i'd appreciate the help.
davrin with emmrich: i literally don't know what you're talking about my son is fine. yours should fall down and trip more 💯💯💯
here's just a fraction of what these guys are dishing at each other.
every time the wardens do something fucked up i like them even more. this isn't about any game specifically but all of them. i fucking love the knockoff night's watch, i love that they guzzle nasty ichorous darkspawn blood that you'll die from 1) now or 2) in thirty years and how they don't tell their recruits until it's too late and the damage is done. i love their secrets and corruption and their heroism in the face of primordial darkness. i love warden leaders and warden recruits trying their best and the infighting that inevitably happens when they disagree.
