I'm sorry; but I know that things will only get better from here on out for you - so just buckle up and be prepared for when they do ♡

Smug marinated Gilbert is a menace to society and a balm for Millie's soul though she denies that at first

Are you enjoying the Nature's gifts? Have you sampled the generosity of the elements? Hast thou tasted the blessed fruits of saintly flora??

Yeah I imagine it's a bit hard to hide a new mattress especially when it goes BOING when unrolling

Idk about jumping into a giant container of jello but there are days when I'm ready to *eat* a giant container of jello

Preferably either grape or raspberry flavor pls

This is Raspberry erasure

RIP

At least our wallets aren't suffering like they used to (when it comes to Steam sales i mean)

Now it's time to guess whether we all grew up, if the depression got worse, or it's just a bad sale

It's either that or using mousepad only since I'm too used to using a mouse like it's an FPS ;;A;;
November 27, 2024 at 7:23 PM
I'm having fun which is most important for a game! Still trying to lower the mouse sensitivity so I don't give myself vertigo by hour 2 of a play session...

Oh yeah, a lot of people quickly adopt the logic of "if I don't like it, it means the thing is bad"

I look forward to finishing the game to give my full opinion. I think the beginning of the game is well-made to entice new players into the franchise, I'm just old and cranky

I should add that my favorite writing in Veilguard is usually hidden in the Codex entries. That's where I found what feels like the original Dragon Age spirit (pun intended)
November 27, 2024 at 7:03 PM
To me it's not "bad" writing, it just differentiates a lot from previous installment of the game. To me it feels like I'm playing a Disney Channel version of Dragon Age rather than what I'm used to. I'm not too far into the game, but so far there's not enough "grit" to a lot of dialogue

In conclusion of the barely coherent rant:

The stakes should *feel* higher
No shying away from the hard and horrible stuff
Kill the darlings

...I need a snack and a nap

Depending on the gender of HoF:

Varric: Damn it, I was here to grab a King/Queen for the chessboard, and all I have left, are pawns!

Grey Warden: Hey, I'm quite capable myself, you know. I'm at the very least a Rook

Varric, seeing the same spark he saw in Hawke: Aight kid you're in
November 25, 2024 at 5:33 PM
And another point for the game: it doesn't kill their darlings near enough. Hero of Ferelden is out there for many players; just have *them* be the 20-year veteran Warden going for their Calling. That's when Varric shows up, to recruit the right person for the job, but HoF is already gone
November 25, 2024 at 5:32 PM
Who's been a Warden for like 2 years. Show the players that there's truly no telling when the Calling will come, only the certainty that it would. This would set up the stakes for Rook-Grey Warden; from the very beginning, they're running out of time. AND drive home that they volunteered for this!
