i hate to be a hater but what do you mean you dissolved dorian's political group called the Lucerni and replaced it with......... the SHADOW DRAGONS???????????????? i feel like i'm going insane

like why did you feel the need to write out something that has an objectively cooler name for something that sounds like it was made for 5 year olds (not hating on the group by itself, just that it was written to replace dorian and maevaris' team up)

anyway i'm so disappointed. dorian doesn't even resemble himself kjsdhgsd. i showed people what he looks like and they straight up didn't recognize him (i would know my son anywhere but i was dismayed) the line delivery is peak but that largely has to do with ramon tikaram being a legend

no thought on veilguard as a whole though. i'm disappointed in minrathous when you're not in combat but it looks great when you are

SPOILERS i shouldn't be frothing at the mouth at this but i am genuinely so livid I WAITED TEN YEARS FOR AN UPDATE ON HIS LITTLE REBEL GROUPPPPPPPPPPPP

update is that after seeing Dorian with higher graphics than I first met him with the experience is SO SO much better than what he was like at low/medium. very unfortunate that his little mustache turn and grey hair is lost in lower graphics but it’s way less egregious in terms of style transition

I am still incredibly disappointed in what his faction amounted to and im not a super fan of the naming convention of the shadow dragon faction but I am a little more satisfied with his appearance in the game as a whole. This was immediately undermined by Isabela being in an orientalist outfit but what can you do

I wish the writing wasn’t so great in some moments and terrible in others - there are so many new people who previously disliked dragon age as a game that are coming in SUPER happy with the new direction, but I feel like they could have done that while putting a little more elbow grease into not making everything sound like it’s JUST for new players

ever since they had that nightmare interview when the team didn’t recognize zevran and claimed he would have “daddy issues” I did expect it to be the case so it’s just something im gonna have to let go to enjoy the new range of companions v_v

also the lost of nuance in tevene naming scheming is still something im hung up on like it could have been a LITTLE better for me. the minor research in Latin to inform tevene just makes the Lucerni sound more “at home” than what they replaced it with. Neve and rook you deserved to be in the lucerni
