Tags I'm going to use for Dragon Age: Veilguard spoilers:
Idk if I'll be posting anything from the preview stuff, rn I only know I'm gonna look at the CC, but I'm putting this here since it'll be useful in 6 weeks anyways.
I'l add tags if I see/get told of any others
If anyone has any fanfics where there's a stray memory out there of Solas and Lavellan (canon, hc, whichever) that the Veilguard crew reacts to, please link it because I need more of them reacting to Solas' life like it's a tv show thanks. I'll read it once I finish the game
Nope! We're going to a possibly haunted manor and dealing with a demon first.
Also have to make a stop at the Crossroads to deal with a Champion
The Inquisitor talked all bitterly about how Tevinter hates her because the Venatori have made sure of that.
So if Morrigan could access the Crossroads to the Lighthouse all along, why didn't she just bring the Inquisitor there??? And not to a city occupied by the same group that hates her
It's hilarious how Harding called out the timing of that last Regret.
Like, nah, it's not the fact that it has to be more recent because the Inquisitor ran into Mythal, it had to happen recently because those are the clothes Solas wore with the Inquisition and he obviously only has 2 looks: his armor and his Inquisition fit.
The pleading of someone to stay with them, to (unknowingly in Lavelllan's case) let go of their mission, why can't this be enough. How Mythal shrugs off the grasp and it led to thousands of years of regrets, and how Solas returned to Lavellan's arms and let himself give in, even if briefly
Also, how do we even have a visitor at the Lighthouse? Did she ring the non-existant doorbell? Did she take the Caretaker taxi? Was she trying to time it perfectly with finishing the last regret? How's she even here right now, I don't think she was invited
I find the Veilguard team discussing theories of how Solas wants to break out of the prison so funny.
Like, yeah the God of betrayal, lies and trickery is definitely going to want to betray us, but how is he gonna do that
I don't know if Mythal and Solas were romantic or not, I agreed with Bellara's view of it, but their relationship is already twisted enough even without involving that possible aspect.
Creator, friend, mentor, "lapdog and owner", giver of purpose, source of all regrets
And I still don't like her "You're the one who walked away. I never turn my back when my friend needs me" comment
Need some time to process Solas' regrets. Like, it's not taken over my brain the way my Inquisitor's return did, and it's mostly confirmed theories, but still need time to process them.
Lots of stray thoughts in my mind rn:
Solas telling Cole he's taking a difficult journey as a spirit gaining a body; basically All new, Faded for Her with a Wisdom spirit being summoned and twisted against their nature against their own wishes; Solas' questions to Varric about the dwarves; Solas telling Lavellan she has a rare and marvelous spirit; the concern if the Anchor did change the Inquisitor in some way; "I trust my friends.""I know that mistake well enough to carve the angles of her face from memory."
Me (many times) today as I arrive at the Lighthouse: ok, time to go watch Solas' memories
My companions: approaching me with side quests or invitations to hang out
Me:
More photo mode pictures of the Grand Necropolis, but this time of the memorial gardens
