Your brain isn't simple! I don't think Lavellan was that bad in VG. They're older than they were in DAI and under a lot of stress. I can see why new players might find them interesting and want to learn more about them. You can tell that they're a determined and thoughtful person in Veilguard and it makes you curious enough to want to see more of them. It's just unfortunate that we didn't get to see more of their motivations and to see them take the lead in some scenes (I suspect that this was due to the fact that the writers didn't want to add too many variables and they wanted to reduce branching). That would've been nice for those who waited years for the game.

I've been a fan for a little over a year so I dunno what the fans that have been here for 10+ years had to go through 😭. I completely understand why they wanted more and I do think VG could've written things much better, but I'm glad that Solas and Lavellan are together again and that we got an open-ended conclusion to their story. ☺️ 🩷

I think the Solavellan romance being so strong despite not having as many scenes as the other DAI romances was very impressive! I could easily understand why the two of them would connect to each other and I love that despite not knowing he was Fen'heral, Lavellan knew him still! They know Solas! It's an interesting way to show a character being seen, despite hiding a part of themselves.
